Not only that, but filmmaker/wildlife photographer Kyle Arpke will be joining as well. While we don't cover every film seen, we do break down many highlights and the general vibe of the 2026 festival, which feels like it's growing every year.Intro Bumper - 0:00 - 0:07Frightmares Podcast Ad - 0:07 - 00:55Intro Music - 00:55 - 2:08MKE Film Fest Overview - 2:08 - 40:01But First, Baseball - 40:01 - 46:18Films Watched - 46:18 - 1:28:47Social Media Plugs - 1:28:47 - 1:30:29Outro Music - 1:30:29 - 1:31:22Outro Bumper - 1:31:22 - 1:31:41 Films DiscussedYou're Attention Please - 48:14I Swear - 54:50F**k Toys - 58:03 Carolina Caroline - 1:05:41Black Zombie - 1:09:57She Is The He - 1:13:04Marama - 1:18:44Hokum - 1:26:38Edited by: Austin ProctorProduced by: Michael ViersExecutive Producer: Ausin ProctorTheme Music by: Austin ProctorOpening Narration by: Nick RichardsCredits Music by: Ten-SpeedLogo Design by: Amanda ViersFor more amazing shows like this, be sure to check out https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/network

Another year, another Milwaukee Film Festival in the books on AnotherLook! Listen up as Will and Corey examine all the unique entries at this year's festival, their packed filmgoing schedules, their highs and lows of the festival experience, and much more!

Step inside the Goblin King's maze with this special live episode of Cinebuds! Recorded at the historic Oriental Theatre during the 2026 Milwaukee Film Festival, this episode celebrates the 40th anniversary (and 4K restoration) of the fantasy classic, Labyrinth. For this very special occasion, Dori and Kpolly enlisted some help from Steve Horton, Eisner-winning author of the graphic novel Bowie: Stardust, Ray Guns, and Moonage Daydreams. He shares a few fascinating insider stories about Labyrinth from his research, including how Bowie would use a puppet off-camera to charm baby Toby into staying calm during filming. The trio also dive into: Why Bowie was the perfect Jareth (and which other '80s icons almost got the part). A tribute to Jim Henson's timeless practical effects and the lovable "gentle giant," Ludo. Hilarious behind-the-scenes secrets, from the infamous "codpiece" to Jennifer Connelly's real reaction to the Bog of Eternal Stench. And it wouldn't be a live event without getting the audience involved, including a few brave souls who offer their questions and "hot takes."#####Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Garage Door Company.

We're in the heart of the Milwaukee Film Festival, and there's one member of our Radio Milwaukee team who chose some of the movies you'll see this year. In addition to being an 88Nine DJ and co-host of La Alternativa, Paula Lovo is the new programmer for Cine Sin Fronteras, created 10 years ago to showcase the Latin Diaspora. Paula, an artist and documentarian herself, is continuing that mission and talked about the films selected for this year's festival. The Milwaukee Film Festival runs April 16-30.#####Host: Kim ShineUniquely Milwaukee is made possible by the generous support of our members.

This documentary uncovers what it takes for an American to shine on the world stage as a cheese expert at the Mondial du Fromage in Tours, France.

Since the dawn of the internet, online spaces have been rapidly changing and eating up more of our time. Social media and attention-driven apps are shaping how young people think and feel and how they learn. A new documentary, “Your Attention Please,” highlights the real-world consequences of social media and how it reshapes all of us. It also shows how a new generation of parents and teens are fighting back against Big Tech's agenda to keep us scrolling. The film is showing at the Milwaukee Film Festival. To learn more Lake Effect's Audrey Nowakowski is joined by director Sara Robin, writer & co-creator Jack LeMay, and film participant Kristin Bride. A warning to listeners, this conversation does include the topic of suicide.  

The Milwaukee Film Festival goes to a lot of trouble filling two whole weeks with tons of movies for us to see. So the least we can do is dedicate two podcast episodes to the big event before it wraps up April 30.Just like we did in part one, we invited Milwaukee Film programming director Kerstin Larson to join the podcast and provide her wonderful perspective to the final seven days of the 2026 festival. With her help, Dori and Kpolly plucked another diverse selection of films from the schedule so you can find something spooky (Hokum), something kooky (Maddie's Secret) or something dairy (The Big Cheese).

On this week's episode of Female Gaze: The Film Club, Morgan talks to director Sara Robin and writer/editor Jack LeMay about their film, “Your Attention Please.” “Your Attention Please” is a documentary which interrogates social media's impact on youth. Among its subjects, the follows Kristin Bride who advocates for social media accountability after losing her son, who had been cyberbullied, to suicide. (On a personal note, the film certainly had me reflecting on my own relationship with social media and technology, particularly as we see pushes for AI in every facet of life despite the lack of any regulation and the already visible detrimental environmental impacts.) “Your Attention Please” is at the Milwaukee Film Festival with its second screening on Thursday, April 23rd, and will be screening at the Independent Film Festival Boston on Saturday, April 25th. You can learn more about "Your Attention Please" by visiting their website and on Instagram here. Find a local screening near you!You can follow Female Gaze: The Film ClubInstagramBlueSkyWebsite

The Milwaukee Film Festival has always been a place to see movies from a variety of filmmakers, including local talent from here in southeastern Wisconsin. One of the groups getting their own spotlight at this year's event: the area's youth filmmakers.As part of the “Rated K: For Kids” program, the Milwaukee Youth Show features eight short films made by the city's next-generation creatives. Before they take center stage at 10:45 a.m. Saturday, April 25, at the Downer Theatre, we talked with two of these talents: animator and Brookfield Central High School junior Sam Slowik, and recent Kettle Moraine School for Arts and Performance graduate Joseph Tzougros.#####Guest host: Rachel TarbyUniquely Milwaukee is made possible by the support of our Radio Milwaukee members.

The 2026 Milwaukee Film Festival is coming up in just over two weeks and if you've never been, it's kinda incredible! From April 16 - 30 hundreds of films will be shown across five screens at The Oriental and The Downer theaters on Milwaukee's very fashionable East Side. So, with 250 short and feature-length documentary and fiction films from near and far to choose from, where does one even start making that schedule? Anything co-signed by Milwaukee Record, America's #1 source of news and entertainment (#facts) will always make the top of my list. It's great to see them back again for the 12th year as the sole sponsor for the Cinema Hooligante program. Think “Midnite Movies” and off beat films. This year's lineup includes stories about misfit youths, a possessed vacuum cleaner and an entire story that takes place in a toilet. Check out this week's episode as we welcome Milwaukee Record's Matt Wild to the pod as our very special guest. Make sure you listen all the way through if you wanna find out what movie makes Matt Wild cry the most and then come hang out with the best people at a Cinema Hooligante film.

In the 40+ years of box-office tracking, the numbers for North America are pretty easy to summarize: up.Almost without exception, the total gross and the number of releases that found their way into theaters rose steadily every year, hitting their peak in 2018 with 993 releases grossing nearly $11.9 billion. The next year saw a slight dip to 910 releases and nearly $11.4 billion — and we know what happened after that.The movie industry, like many others, hasn't returned to pre-pandemic levels and may never get there. In 2024, 675 releases hit screens across North America and tallied just shy of $8.6 billion. While those totals are well behind the previous pace, that doesn't necessarily mean the cinema is worse off — perhaps just different.One of the people navigating the new environment is director Danny Villanueva Jr., a Chicago native whose move northward greatly influenced his second feature-length film, What Happened to Dorothy Bell? Since premiering in 2024, the horror movie has been met with positive reviews from audiences, including the ones at this year's Milwaukee Film Festival, where it made its Wisconsin debut.Technically a found-footage paranormal film, What Happened to Dorothy Bell? is also described by its director as “a story about generational trauma and self-discovery.” On top of that, it's a story about Kenosha — or at least starring Kenosha. The city's 125-year-old Gilbert M. Simmons Library, and the ghost tours found therein, stoked Villanueva Jr.'s creative fires and ultimately became the filming location.On this episode of Cinebuds, he joins us to talk about how he gravitated to the horror genre, his path to becoming a “micro-budget” filmmaker and the part our state — and events like the Milwaukee Film Festival — has to play in the wider world of moviemaking.

Reunited, and it feels so good ...After taking a breather during the Milwaukee Film Festival (more on that in a moment), Dori and Kpolly got back behind the microphone to talk about the latest Marvel movie, Thunderbolts*. Due in part to the break in recording, this might be the first time in Cinebuds history that a film changed its title between its release and getting discussed on the podcast — nice to know the Marvel Cinematic Universe can still keep us on our toes 36 movies in.You'll hear our hosts talk about the focus on mental health that hovers over Thunderbolts*, the ideas about found family (or teammates), David Harbour's welcome heaping helping of comic relief amid many other brooding characters and Florence Pugh's commitment to her role that saw her leap off a 2,000-foot skyscraper.Of course, we couldn't close the episode with getting a quick Milwaukee Film Festival report from Kpolly, who happily notes the event's 47% increase in attendance per theater.

AnotherLook is back at the Milwaukee Film Festival. Tune in as Will and Corey discuss the many entries at this year's line-up, including David Cronenberg's The Shrouds! This bonus episode is full of Q&As with various filmmakers and plenty of discussion!

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Nateya Taylor. A Milwaukee native with a passion for black liberation, Taylor is classified as a black female and the founder of Naesthetycs LLC. She snared a Master of Science degree with a focus on the health and the history of Racism in Wisconsin. “Nateya specializes in archival research and her research interests are centered around residential segregation, Black resistance, Black geographies, Black autonomy, and the Black Power Movement.” Gus discovered Taylor's brand new film, Something in the Water, which is screening at the 2025 Milwaukee Film Festival. While Gus is preparing to visit Wisconsin to cover the Sade Robinson murder trial later this month, he's been inundated with reports about Milwaukee's public school lead poisoning crisis. Numerous schools have been closed and disrupted because of the ongoing lead contamination. The reports have emphasized that black children are substantially more likely to be harmed. #ChemicalAndBiologicalWarfare #BreonnaTaylor #TheCOWS16Years CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Milwaukee Film Festival returns for another season of inviting film lovers to "enjoy the show." In this episode of Uniquely Milwaukee, we're talking to filmmakers -- including two from Racine -- about stories of resistance and justice.Representing southeastern Wisconsin are Laura Dyan Kezman & William Howell, co-directors of CYCLE, a documentary that explores the narrative of police violence, profiling and accountability through the death of 18-year-old Ty'Rese West of Racine. In June 2019, West was shot two in the head by a Mount Pleasant police officer who stopped him for not having a light on his bicycle.   There was no body camera footage, no witnesses and no charges were filed.Our second conversation is with Elegance Bratton, director of Move Ya Body: The Birth of House, which confronts biased systems and spotlights a movement of freedom, resistance and innovation. The film shares the genres history through the life Vince Lawrence, who in 1984 in Chicago -- along with his friend Jesse Saunders -- recorded what many consider to be the first house song.Episode host: Kim ShineUniquely Milwaukee is sponsored by the Milwaukee Public Library. For more episodes, visit radiomilwaukee.org/ourstories.

We're down a Cinebud this week, but worry not because we called in a couple of Jokers to compensate.To be more accurate, our very special guests joining us on this episode are two of the people who worked on viral and cinematic sensation The People's Joker: composers Justin Krol and Quinn Scharber. The Milwaukee-based duo are the driving force behind the film's score and thus have enjoyed a front-row seat to its tumultuous and controversial existence.We won't get too into the legal weeds here, but to summarize: The People's Joker debuted at the Toronto Film Festival back in 2022, was shelved under the threat of legal action from Warner Bros., snuck in a secret midnight screening at the Milwaukee Film Festival in 2023 and then finally began its proper theatrical run last month.With Kpolly on the sidelines for this one, Dori uses her finely honed interviewing skills to get Krol and Scharber chatting about their early days as Milwaukee musicians, their connection to the movie's star/creative force Vera Drew, and the chutzpah required to get into this very competitive field.Produced and edited by Marcus Doucette

Hundreds of Beavers is a callback to slapstick comedies like classic WB Looney Tunes cartoons. It's full of live-action wacky pratfalls, ridiculous situations, and a healthy dose of beaver-related mayhem. Shot on a micro-budget of $150,000, Hundreds of Beavers was made with passion, creativity, and a whole lot of beaver costumes. Director Mike Cheslik and cinematographer Quinn Hester and most of the cast and crew are all from Wisconsin, where Hundreds of Beavers was shot. Everyone was comfortable with snow, loved physical comedy, and had the desire to make a film that would stand out as a true indie. After first meeting at the Milwaukee Film Festival in 2018, Mike called Quinn in October, 2020 to ask if he'd DP the film during the winter in zero degree weather. “It couldn't have been anybody but Quinn because he's just a tough guy and he's used to the winter,” says Mike. In total, the film took about 8 weeks of shooting with a core crew of about 4-6 people over the course of two winters. The main location was a remote cabin in Northern Wisconsin. “We're out there in the elements. It's very rare to be on a production where you are not only making a movie and having to use all your energy, focus and creativity and meditate on how to accomplish certain looks and goals and shots,” says Quinn. “But you're also trying to not die. All of us almost died at least once.” To make Hundreds of Beavers, Mike spent years creating extensive storyboards and animatics. “People could watch the animatic on the DIT computer and they could also see the boards in my binders that I was carrying around,” he says.”But it still takes a lot of explaining and there's a lot to wrap your head around because there's so much in this movie. It is a lot. I was just thinking about it nonstop for years. And then just doing my best to explain it to the team. I was always surprised how much trust we got.” The film is very effects-heavy and made to look old-timey in grainy black and white. “The freedom of picking a grainy black and white style, it frees you up to tell a bigger story and to have bigger visual ideas. This style gave us permission to work that way in the modern day,” says Mike. Since they were shooting in the winter, they would have to wrap by 4:30 pm. Mike imported everything into Adobe After Effects and edited with Adobe Premiere every night. That way, Quinn and the crew knew exactly what they needed by the next day. Quinn shot on a Panasonic LUMIX GH5 camera that worked well even in extremely cold weather. All the footage could easily be imported into Adobe Premiere and After Effects. Hundreds of Beavers is still playing in select theaters and is tons of fun to see with a live audience. Go to the Hundreds of Beavers website to find cities where it's playing. https://www.hundredsofbeavers.com/ Hundreds of Beavers is also available to rent on Amazon and Apple.

Did you know that over the course of its two weeks, this year's Milwaukee Film Festival will have screened 131 features and 169 shorts? For the math heads out there, that's a whopping 300 titles filling the 2024 event's program. Even for a cinephile with unlimited time and energy reserves, seeing every single one isn't an option. That's why we're here."We" is, of course, Kpolly and Dori — AND returning for yet another Milwaukee Filmtastic episode is the organization's programing director, Kerstin Larson. If you missed our last installment, Kerstin joined our 'Buds to provide the kind of recommendations you might expect from the person responsible for picking the films that show up in the fest. But that was just week one. We have a whole second week to tackle, and you can hear the trio's must-see movies in this episode.Produced and edited by Marcus Doucette
