Movies are sex! Toronto movie critic and filmmaker Chandler Levack joins hosts Gemma and Slim ahead of the world premiere of I Like Movies—her debut indie dramedy about a narcissistic teenage cinephile that had Slim weeping-laughing and Gemma hoping it'll win the TIFF People's Choice Award—to talk about four films she loves: Almost Famous, Fat Girl, The Apartment and Crime Wave. Plus: Chandler and Slim reminisce about their glittering careers in the video store industry; everything Cameron Crowe means to us; Catherine Breillat and her brutal realism; the joys of making a film about an insufferable cinephile; how to nail an audition (hint: wear a t-shirt for The Lighthouse); we're all in love with Shirley MacLaine; why Gemma wants to live in old movies; John Paizs' absurdist brilliance and his lasting legacy—that you can make anything you want!; Funny Pages' sweaty basement apartment; is this the greatest year for cinema made just for Slim? Possibly yes. Did Steven Spielberg make The Fabelmans in homage to I Like Movies? Maybe. See both films at TIFF (8—18 September) to find out! Credits: This episode was recorded in Auckland, Toronto and Pennsylvania, and edited by Slim. Facts by Jack. Booker: Brian Formo. Transcript by Sophie Shin. Art by Samm. Theme: ‘Vampiros Dancoteque' by Moniker.

The results are in! We've got the official thoughts and criticisms and witticisms regarding the THREE weird movies our everlasting friends from the Dom Deluise Patreon Club have picked for us this month. And you'll never believe which tough guys are in 'em!! Up first! It's 1979's Hot Stuff, which is neither a sex comedy nor an official sequel from the Smoky and the Bandit franchise. But it might be a spiritual sequel, and it's definitely got Dom Deluise (the actor, not the Patreon tier). Listen along as we explore Dom's only (notable) directorial effort, in which he, Jerry Reed and Suzanne Pleshette serve and protect the community by flipping old wares in and old wares-house. With fat jokes! (thanks Ricky O!) Next up! We've done Sam Raimi's 1985 film Crime Wave, so of course we're reviewing John Paizs's 1985 film Crime Wave aka The Big Crimewave (from 1985). This confusingly-titled and confusingly-realized debut feature from the Canadian auter concerns the screenplay-writing escapades of an old-timey film fan as well as some on-and-off-screen crimes. With surrealist photography! (thanks Eddie!) Finally! Of course, it's 1987's Tough Guys Don't Dance, that soapishly operatic cuckolding drama from true-life shit-head Norman Mailer. Ryan O'Neal stars in this Provincetown classic that contains everyone's favorite dramatic line readings. With baby Penn Jillette! (thanks Matt from Arizona!) All this plus the death of a clown, Kevin's adventures at HorrorHound Cincinnati, a reluctance for early Pumpkin Pie consumption, the great skeleton shortage of 2021, Halloween pancakes, ass-slappin' on goofballs, Dom Deluise appreciation, your exciting new magazine subscription, nerd news and even more!

It's a brand new year, so it's time for a brand new episode of Hoser Horror! Join Carlo and Dan as they talk about two completely random, theme-less Canadian horror movies that they happened to want to watch this week. Yes, sometimes we plan themes and try to compare and contrast our picks, but this time we just wanted to watch a couple movies, eh? From 1999, we discuss the return to feature filmmaking for cult-director John Paizs (of Crimewave previously.) How does this sci-fi spoof-em-up stack up? Why is it seemingly forgotten despite lots of television play and a warm critical reception? Where exactly is the bumpy, lumpy part of town? We ask these questions before moving on to Corpse Eaters from 1974, which has the distinction of being one of Canada's earliest gore films (landing a year or so after Cannibal Girls.) Written and produced by drive-in owner Lawrence Zazelenchuk, this zombie movie got tied up in a terrible distribution deal until years later. How does the 50-odd minute movie stand up? We watched it, we'll tell ya!All this and more on our latest episode.
