Canadian film legend Zacharias Kunuk (Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner) has made more than 30 films and documentaries over his career — almost entirely in Inuktitut. His latest film, Uiksaringitara (Wrong Husband), is an epic historical drama set 4,000 years ago in what we now call Nunavut, where supernatural forces threaten the promised marriage of lovers Kaujak and Sapa. Zacharias joins guest host Talia Schlanger to discuss the traditional Inuit stories that inspired the film, what he says John Wayne movies have in common with Inuit storytelling, and why he's hoping audiences a century from now will still be studying his acclaimed body of work.

Today’s guest is the iconoclastic Aussie filmmaker Kai Neville, who you may not know, hails from South Australia originally. He spent his early years down there where he was raised by a passionate surfer of a dad, who tragically lost his leg in a car crash on his way home from a surf trip east of Adelaide. It didn’t stop him though, the hellman that he is, eventually moving the family to the Sunny Coast so he could longboard the more forgiving point breaks of the Noosa region. And this is where Kai’s surfing journey really gets going - a journey that has produced a handful of the greatest surf films of the modern era.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, the boys drink some whiskey and head to 1960 to discuss the less famous slasher movie of the year, “Peeping Tom”! Directed by Michael Powell, this film was a major inspiration for Martin Scorsese and a terror to the people of England, leading to its removal from theaters after only 5 days. Unlike “Psycho”, it was subsequently banned from many other countries… yet today, this movie feels like a tone poem of modern culture.

Actor, writer, translator, and founder of Bronx World Film Walter Krochmal joins me to talk about his incredible journey, from studying theater on a scholarship in New England, to performing, translating, and building one of New York's most quietly essential film organizations. We discuss how Bronx World Film was born in the basement of Cannes' Short Film Corner, the post World War II European idea of cinema as a tool for social reconstruction, and why Walter believes true festivals must serve both filmmakers and neighborhood audiences, not the cash grab mentality that's overtaken so many indie fests. In the final segment we dive into two unforgettable film moments: Fellini's LA STRADA, which he calls a paragon of empathy and craft, and the timeless comedy of THE NAKED GUN, where Leslie Nielsen's deadpan genius turns “Nice beaver” into a masterclass in visual timing. Films discussed: LA STRADA (1954) and THE NAKED GUN: FROM THE FILES OF POLICE SQUAD! (1988) Guest links: bronxworldfilm.org and Instagram @bronxworldfilm

Today on Too Opinionated, we sit down with Director Anthony Lucero to talk about his new film, Paper Bag Plan! Synopsis: After being diagnosed with cancer, Oscar (Lance Kinsey) realizes his overprotectiveness may be holding his son Billy (Cole Massie) back from gaining independence. Determined to secure Billy's future, Oscar helps him build the skills needed for a job as a grocery store bagger. Their heartfelt journey highlights the challenges and triumphs of fostering self-reliance, revealing the deep love between father and son—and the courage it takes to let go. Anthony Lucero's directorial debut feature film, East Side Sushi, was picked up by HBO after screening at the Miami International Film Festival where it was also nominated for Best Screenplay. Written by Lucero, this drama/comedy indie favorite garnered 15 film festival awards nationwide, 8 Diosa de Plata award nominations including Best Picture and Best Director, has a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score and has the distinction of being listed as one of the "Top 10 Films of 2015" by SF Weekly and one of "The Most Overlooked Films of 2015" from the Los Angeles Times. In 2017, Lucero was selected as a U.S. Envoy and screened East Side Sushi at six U.S. Embassies and Consulates throughout Japan. Born and raised in Oakland, Lucero draws on his Chicano roots to create stories that are multicultural and socially relevant. After receiving his B.A. in Film from San Francisco State University, Lucero spent over a decade working in visual effects at George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic, working on such films as Star Wars Episode I & II, Ironman, Pirates of the Caribbean and The Avengers.   Want to Watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

We've taken a little hiatus for almost half of 2025, but Shandra is back with some special guest hosts in the new year.In Episode 75, my Filmstagram buddy, Campo, comes on to discuss the Dungeons & Dragons movies. We discuss the poorly reviewed movie from the year 2000 with Marlon Wayans, entitled Dungeons & Dragons, and then of course, the new one with Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez from 2023, D&D: Honor Among Thieves.We discuss a variety of things in this episode: how Jeremy Irons acted his heart out in the former film, how Michelle Rodriguez gained 15 pounds of muscle in the latter film, and why is there not a bad '90s movie, like, at all?
