Podcasts about sweet hereafter

We've always loved Atom Egoyan's films, but after this discussion, he is one of our favorite people! Atom came to discuss his new film, Seven Veils. And while we are talking about The Sweet Hereafter as well as his Overdue Rental, we also get a lot of The West Memphis Three and Devil's Knot in there, too.

Filmmaker Atom Egoyan ("Exotica", "The Sweet Hereafter") returns after 9 years for his third appearance on the podcast. He has a new movie that is currently in theaters called "Seven Veils" starring Academy Award® nominee Amanda Seyfried ("Mean Girls", "Mama Mia"). The film follows theater director Jeanine (Seyfried) who, after years away, re-enters the opera world to stage her former mentor's most famous work. Haunted by dark and disturbing memories from her past, Jeanine allows her repressed trauma to color the present as her personal and professional lives begin to unravel. Renowned director Atom Egoyan sees "Seven Veils" as operating within a trilogy alongside his other critically acclaimed works "Exotica" and "The Sweet Hereafter". In "Seven Veils", he also reunites with Seyfried, who he worked with on the 2009 film "Chloe", in this visually stunning, propulsive work, filmed on location during the staging of his acclaimed production of "Salome". Egoyan directed the opera "Salome" in 1996, the first opera in what would be many to come over his career. Best known as a prominent film director since the 1980s, Egoyan has proven he is a master of both mediums, and "Seven Veils" is his way of bringing both together. Also on this episode the Canadian filmmaker Jeffrey St. Jules ("Bang Bang Baby") discusses his new film "The Silent Planet". The film stars the great actor Elias Koteas ("Exotica", "Crash") who joins us in this conversation. Serving a life sentence alone on a distant planet, an aging convict must confront his past when a new prisoner arrives and forces him to remember his life on Earth.

In this episode, we continue our Year of the Nineties with the heartbreaking small-town drama from director Atom Egoyan, "The Sweet Hereafter", starring Ian Holm, Bruce Greenwood and Sarah Polley! Listen now!

Mitchell Stephens (Ian Holm) is a lawyer hell bent on bringing corruption to justice, and money to grieving people. He descends upon a small Canadian town to do just that after an accident rocks the community, which includes school bus driver Dolores Driscoll (Gabrielle Rose), local mechanic Billy Adsel (Bruce Greenwood), local motel maid Risa Walker (Alberta Watson) and her husband Wendell Walker (Maury Chaykin), local Tommy Wiseau Sam Burnell (Tom McCamus) and his daughter Nicole Burnell (Sarah Polley), just to name a few. Things spiral out of control before everything comes to a head, but like Mama Scheuppert always said, things may be what they seem in the bitter there before, but they are never what they seem in The Sweet Hereafter.

In this episode, host Marriska Fernandes uncovers the story of Canadian filmmaker Atom Egoyan, celebrated for his diverse contributions to cinema. With internationally acclaimed films like "Exotica," "The Sweet Hereafter," and the upcoming film, "Seven Veils," Egoyan has consistently pushed cinematic boundaries, focusing on themes such as memory, isolation, identity, and more. His work has earned accolades at Cannes, TIFF, and the Oscars, solidifying his reputation as a master storyteller.    Beyond filmmaking, Egoyan has also directed several operas, including Salome, Così fan tutte, and Jenůfa, for the Canadian Opera, Vancouver Opera, Pacific Opera Victoria, and elsewhere.    Join Marriska in conversation with Atom Egoyan, where they discuss his creative process and recall when Atom and Bruce McDonald screened their short films on a wall during TIFF. They also talk about the best ending he's ever written, and more insights into his incredible journey.   ***TW: Atom Egoyan's films often explore the universality of trauma, and in discussing his work, there are mentions of sexual assault, child abuse and violence.

Moinsen! Wolltet ihr schon immer herausfinden, worum es in Riverdale eigentlich geht? Wolltet ihr schon immer wissen, was passiert, wenn man einen 1940er Comic, camp, goth, Musicals, horny teens und zu viel Schaffensfreiheit miteinander vermischt? Und wolltet ihr schon immer mal hautnah erleben, wie die Synapsen in eurem Gehirn sich neu verdrahten? Ich auch nicht, aber here we are, bei dem most unhinged Riverdale Recap auf dieser Seite des Atlantiks, das am Ende vor allem eins sein wird: Eine viel zu lange Begründung dafür, warum ich diese Serie genauso heiß und innig liebe, wie ich sie hasse.

This episode explores Atom Egoyan's 1997 film, The Sweet Hereafter, which describes the impact of a tragic school bus accident that caused the death of 14 children on a small Canadian town. The film is based on Russell Banks' 1991 novel of the same name (which in turn was based on a real-life bus crash in Texas). The film centers on personal injury lawyer Mitchell Stephens (Ian Holm), who travels to the town after the accident in an attempt to persuade the parents of the children to bring a negligence lawsuit. The controversy generated by the lawsuit ripples through the community and is explored through several characters in the town, including Nicole (Sarah Polley), a teenage girl who is left paralyzed from the waist down by the accident; Dolores Driscoll (Gabrielle Rose), the bus driver on the fateful, day; and various parents who have sharply conflicting views on the lawsuit. The Sweet Hereafter, however, is much more than a story about tort litigation; it explores larger philosophical questions around justice, community norms, and the role of law in addressing life's most painful tragedies. I am joined by Seán Patrick Donlan, a Professor of Law at Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia, Canada.Timestamps:0:00     Introduction3:18     Recruiting plaintiffs for a class action lawsuit9:58     Judith Shklar's distinction between misfortune and injustice14:20   Law and defense of community21:45   The loss of children28:52   The deposition that unravels the case39:13   Assigning blame and scapegoating47:02   More on Atom Egoyan           49:13   The role of the Pied PiperFurther reading:Banks, Russell, The Sweet Hereafter (1991)Fried, Margaret J. & Frolik, Lawrence A. “The Limits of Law: Litigation, Lawyers, and the Search for Justice in Russell Banks' ‘The Sweet Hereafter,'” 7 Cardozo Stud.

Musician and film writer Soraya Sebghati joins from Los Angeles to venture into the lurid, strange world of...Toronto, ON, Canada and its mesmerizing underbelly of desire, longing, and grief in Atom Egoyan's 1994 breakout feature, 'Exotica'.We discuss Atom Egoyan as director - his keen sense for the uncanny amongst the mundane, and the ways 'Exotica' plays with artificiality, performance, and facade. Then, we discuss the film's musings on routine and the rippling effects of grief, and praise Egoyan's (relatively) non-judgemental curiosity with regard to the habits we all adopt as a means of coping with loss and alienation. Finally, we consider the film's much-mulled over ending and how it offers both a quietly devastating moment of catharsis and a hopeful message of emotional solidarity.

In what ways are cemeteries like parks? How tall should the grass in a cemetery be allowed to grow? Following up on some of the themes from our discussion with NYC Microseasons about urban plants, animals, and fungi not typically thought of as farms or gardens, Melissa talks with Joseph (Joe) Charap, Vice President of Horticulture at the Green-Wood Cemetery, about the history of cemeteries as green spaces in NYC and the broader United States.They discuss the rich and biodiverse ecosystem found at Green-Wood—which comprises over 8,000 trees of over 800 species, including many native species! Joe and Melissa talk about everything from “charismatic megaflora” (trees) to turfgrass, touching on long-term scientific collaborations with Cornell, different kinds of green burials (including mushroom burials, which are not yet practiced in Brooklyn), “Sweet Hereafter” honey, and what exactly a “managed meadow” is. What could be a somber subject is instead a lively and dynamic conversation that you won't want to miss!Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Well after seemingly just starting our CANADA V AUSTRALIA month it's time to bring it to a close as we recap the 1997 Canadian movie The Sweet Hereafter to find out if Canada is sweeter or…after? How do we find it difficult to say anything light and funny about this film but somehow manage to do it in a way? Will Ben actually like a movie like this or will Colin prove once again how much smarter he is? Do we get the themes in this movie? Do we understand why incest is happening in this movie? Would we like to go to the home of Ian Holm? Why are we bit thrown off by the nudity in this movie? Is this movie a bit too Canadian or is it understandable? And do we now need to do a bus tragedy month? There's a lot to unpack and a lot to cover as we close out the month in style! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Content warning: suicidal ideation. In this episode, we drop in on everyone's favorite perky psychopomp, Death of the Endless, with a look at the 1993 three-part miniseries Death: The High Cost of Living, by Neil Gaiman and Chris Bachalo, published by DC/Vertigo! In a nod to the 1934 film “Death Takes a Holiday,” Dream's older sister Death, well ... takes a holiday. We're pretty sure, anyway. You see, there's this girl named Didi who looks a lot like Death, and claims to be Death, wandering the earth as a mortal for 24 hours to get a feel for how the other half lives. But 16-year-old Sexton Furnival, who says he wants to commit suicide, isn't buying what Didi's selling. Can Didi convince Sexton that life is worth living? Can they escape the clutches of the mysterious Eremite and find Mad Hettie's heart? And can this short Sandman spinoff charm its way into that Sweet Hereafter known as ... The Comics Canon? In This Episode: What's Sexton's middle name situation? Catching up with a couple of characters from A Game of You Maniac of New York Vol. 1: Death Train Portrait of a Lady on Fire Shin Ultraman The Sound of Her Wings (Sandman #8) and Façade (Sandman #20) Join us in two weeks as we discuss either Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt or Batman: A Death in the Family!

In this edition of the BFG podcast–now with vastly improved sound quality!–host Neal Pollack welcomes the well-read Michael Washburn to discuss the work and legacy of the novelist Russell Banks, who died recently at the age of 82. Michael and Neal have nothing but praise for Banks's two best-known novels, Affliction and The Sweet Hereafter, both of which became popular and critically-acclaimed movies. But they also recommend you check out his novel Continental Drift, and Michael has special affection for Banks's short stories, which so accurately describe the struggles of working-class New Hampshire residents. They aren't so keen on his later works, when Banks drifted away from what he knows best, but he still leaves behind a literary legacy worth celebrating.Aubrey Plaza is just getting started with her legacy, and Neal welcomes Rachel Llewellyn to talk about Plaza's new indie film 'Emily the Criminal,' now streaming on Netflix. Neal loves the show's gritty crime-drama feel, which resembles breaking bad, and praises Plaza's nuanced performance, which carries the movie above the usual genre fare. Rachel also mentions Plaza's work in Black Bear, Neal talks about her in Ingrid Goes West, and it's probably pretty certain that The White Lotus comes up at some point. It's not as though Aubrey Plaza is some sort of hidden gem, she's quite famous at this point, but her cultural footprint will certainly only grow from here.Rachel sticks around to talk about 'The Rig,' a new eco-sci-fi thriller series now airing on Amazon Prime. She praises the way the show tackles difficult issues with subtlety, and then occasionally it sounds like an extended Facebook thread argument about climate change. But creator David MacPherson grew up around Scottish oil workers, so he understands their politics and their point of view on the world much better than the average script writer would. A very tense ocean thriller that does not, according to Rachel, feature The Loch Ness Monster.

We remember novelist Russell Banks, whose working-class background inspired much of his work. His best known novels were adapted into films, including Affliction, The Sweet Hereafter, and Continental Drift. We'll listen back to portions of our interviews with him. Also, we're revisiting our interview with photographer Larry Sultan, whose photographic memoir of growing up in California in the '50s and '60s is the basis of a new Broadway show starring Nathan Lane. Maureen Corrigan reviews the novel Sam by Allegra Goodman. And Justin Chang reviews No Bears, the Iranian film that's been on his year-end best list.

Russell Banks, an award-winning fiction writer who rooted such novels as “Affliction” and “The Sweet Hereafter” in the wintry, rural communities of his native north-east has died. He was 82. We were fortunate to speak with Banks many times about his work - most recently in 2021 when his novel "Foregone" was released. We re-share interview today, in memoriam.

Sarah Polley and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her new film Women Talking, curiosity, imagination, the patriarchy, trauma and grief, de and re-construction, the power of community, what it means to heal, inspiration and the greater Good.Blurb:Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley, and Judith Ivey, with Ben Whishaw and Frances McDormand, star in Sarah Polley's fearless adaptation of Miriam Toews'acclaimed novel about a cloistered world where women struggle with an epidemic of abuse.Oscar-nominated writer-director Sarah Polley's fearless adaptation of Miriam Toews' acclaimed novel grants us access to a tight-knit, cloistered religious colony inwhich women struggle to recover from an epidemic of abuse. Featuring riveting, emotionally complex performances from a stunning ensemble that includes Oscarnominees Rooney Mara and Jessie Buckley and Oscar winner Frances McDormand, Women Talking is a drama of harrowing revelations, fraught alliances, and thesearch for grace.Reeling from multiple counts of sexual abuse, newly uncovered within their Mennonite colony, a group of women gather in a hayloft to discuss how to respond. Whilethe men are away, the women narrow their options down to three: do nothing, stay and fight, or leave. Some fear that any act of defiance will jeopardize their entry intoheaven, while others believe they cannot survive without husbands and sons. Some are willing to take any measures to escape the terror of their domestic lives andinsist that “the truth is stronger than the rules.”With her first feature in almost a decade, Polley showcases her unmatched skills as both a screenwriter and a director. The film is at once ferocious in its critique ofpatriarchal oppression — a critique that clearly extends to our broader, secular culture — while respectful of the beliefs and traditions in which its characters wereraised. Though it is suffused with the pain of trauma, a stubborn sense of wonder and quiet joy in community permeate the film. Women Talking ushers us through ajourney of rage, grief, wisdom, and hope through to a triumphant, most gratifying conclusion.Adapted from Jane Schoettle's Synopsis, TIFFAbout Sarah:Sarah Polley, actor, director, writer, producer, she is one of Canada's most talented and well-known actors.

jay, bella, and ally discuss with season 1, episode 13 of riverdale (the best show on tv). FEATURING SPECIAL GUEST: HANNAH!!!!

Sarah Polley has been acting in film and television since the age of five. She appeared in films like The Adventures of Baron Munchasuen was dubbed “Canada's Sweetheart” for her starring role in the hit television series The Road To Avonlea. Though she continued acting through her teens, starring in acclaimed films like The Sweet Hereafter, she's made her career as a writer and director. Her 2006 debut feature, Away From Her, garnered an Best Actress Oscar nomination for star Julie Christie and a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination for Polley. Her other films include Take This Waltz and the 2012 documentary Stories We Tell. Polley's latest film, Women Talking, is her first American studio release and features an almost all-female cast, including Rooney Mara and Frances McDormand. In this interview, Sarah talks about her entire body of film work as well as Run Towards The Danger, a collection of essays she published earlier this year. A longtime political activist with a particular commitment to emotional and physical safeguarding of the casts and crews on her movie sets, she also discusses the complexities of some of the current conversations around #MeToo movement and other social justice movements.      Guest Bio: Sarah Polley received an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay for her first film as director- Away From Her, based on the short story The Bear Came Over the Mountain by Alice Munro. This film also garnered an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for star Julie Christie. Her next film Take This Waltz starred Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen, and Sarah Silverman. Stories We Tell, her documentary which examines secrets and memory in her own family, won Best Documentary Film awards from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, National Board of Review, and the New York Film Critics Circle, as well as a Writer's Guild of America award for its screenplay. As an actor, Polley starred in a wide variety of films including Atom Egoyan's The Sweet Hereafter (Best Supporting Actress award from the Boston Society of Film Critics), Doug Liman's Go  (Independent Spirit Award nomination), Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead, Jaco Van Dormael's Mr. Nobody opposite Jared Leto, Kathryn Bigelow's The Weight of Water opposite Ciaran Hinds, David Cronenberg's Existenz, Isabel Coixet's The Secret Life of Words and My Life Without Me (Canadian Screen Award, Best Actress), Audrey Wells' Guinevere, Wim Wenders' Don't Come Knocking, Michael Winterbottom's The Claim, and Terry Gilliam's The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.    In 2022, Polley released Run Towards the Danger: Confrontations with a Body of Memory, an autobiographical collection of essays detailing her relationship with her body and how her memory of past and present experiences has contributed to her evolving understanding of self.

Watch With Jen started 2022 with an episode featuring fan favorite S.A. Cosby, so as we begin wrapping up our third season, it's only fitting that we bring Shawn back to discuss more movies he loves. As kind and genuine as he is knowledgeable and gifted, the first time I ever chatted with Shawn was one week before he released the book that would become a smash success and put him on the map.The remarkable Blacktop Wasteland won an avalanche of well-deserved praise and awards, including the Anthony and the International Thriller Writers Award for Best Hardcover Fiction Novel. Impressively, his follow-up title Razorblade Tears met and/or exceeded all expectations, becoming a runaway New York Times bestseller, earning Shawn another boatload of accolades, including repeat honors from organizations that celebrated Blacktop Wasteland the previous year. Perhaps the most staggeringly awesome achievement for Razorblade Tears, however, was when it was included as one of the titles on former President Obama's list of summer reads! Yet still as gracious as ever and well-loved among his colleagues, we're all so very proud of Shawn, and, considering that he was working intensely on the final edits of his next novel All the Sinners Bleed (out June 2023), I appreciated all the more his taking the time to tackle a filmmaker that fascinates him in this roughly one hundred minute conversation.While the first part of our chat is devoted to his own work because fans always want to know what's going on with the screen adaptations of his books and all other news (including my attempts to make him blush with questions from his best friend Nikki Dolson), we then venture north to Toronto to look at the weird, wild, kinky, yet morose filled world of Armenian-Egyptian-Canadian writer-director Atom Egoyan.Drawn to stories of tragedy, regret, alienation, isolation in modern society, and our struggles to connect with one another, in this episode, we look at his two career high-water marks of the 1990s with Exotica and The Sweet Hereafter, as well as his biggest box office hit from 2009 in Chloe. Analyzing the films' rich characterization, performances, and our impressions of what Egoyan is trying to say, while we do get deep, we also entertain, whether it's in the tale I share about this time in college when this woman in the quad tried to recruit me to join her escort agency (she had the wrong girl!) or Shawn talking about the beauty of ambiguous endings while touching on his own work.

Welcome to the return of Intermission, a spin-off podcast from The Film Stage Show. Led by yours truly, Michael Snydel, I invite a guest to discuss an arthouse, foreign, or experimental film of their choice. For the fourteenth episode, I talked to the editor-in-chief/co-founder of The Film Stage, Jordan Raup, about Canadian auteur Atom Egoyan's 1994 erotic melodrama Exotica (available on a new Criterion Collection disc and alongside Calendar, The Sweet Hereafter, and The Adjustor on the Criterion Channel). At first blush, Egoyan's film defies easy categorization with its recursive structure, multiple central characters, and the director's own penchant for throwing viewers into previously defined relationships. Exotica's dizzying construction only amplifies those sensations with the characters' winding stream-of-consciousness monologues, DP Paul Sarossy's furtive camerawork, and Mychael Danna's Egyptian-influenced score. The plot isn't easily described, but it can be distilled down to the intersection of initially undefinable relationships of clientele and employees at the namesake's strip club. These oddballs range from lovelorn MCs to closeted bird egg collectors and Freudian father figures. Nearly every one of these characters meshes into a diagrammatic arc to reach the mosaic-esque climax, but those intricacies are a means to an end. Exotica (and arguably, Egoyan's body of work) traffic in the claustrophobically intimate, introducing dynamics that act as conduits for hard emotional truths. To remove the film from its obtuse contexts, consider instead that Egoyan's two primary influences for writing Exotica were being audited in real life and learning about the no-touch rule at strip clubs. Alike, today's podcast could be seen as an attempt to find a middle ground between these two perceptions of Exotica––one as a psychosexual nesting doll and the other as an emotionally linear inquiry into personal trauma and its ensuing repercussions. Along the way, we discuss the film's unexpected reception (one of two films to ever win awards at both the AVN Awards and Cannes), the shortcomings of its contemporary parallels, and Elias Koteas.

Screenwriter Abdul Malik (Peace by Chocolate, CTV's Transplant) joins us to talk about Atom Egoyan's 1997 film, The Sweet Hereafter, one of Canada's most celebrated movies and the pinnacle of the Toronto New Wave moment. We revisit the melancholic, majestic, and morally compromised town of Sam Dent, a fictional community in BC's interior that has lost almost all its children to a school-bus crash. Ian Holm plays a carpet-bagging lawyer who's got his own personal baggage, while Sarah Polley portrays a young girl who survives both the bus accident and her father's abuse. In this stark winter landscape, we warm to Egoyan's elegant filmmaking but are left cold by his moralizing vision. Should The Sweet Hereafter still be celebrated 25 years later?

On this episode of THE RIVERDALE REGISTER, John and Kaitlin talk Reggie's doll, the Sweet Hereafter, and Sabrina's return.

Our heroes watch a film about a school bus crash, drug addiction, and child molestation that's somehow less depressing than it sounds.

Gil and Sen sit down with game designer and chronicler Aaron A. Reed to talk about his project 50 Years of Text Games, in which he covered one important game for each year between 1971 and 2020. The project will be made into a book. SHOW NOTES 2m21s: The Oregon Trail 3m13s: Gil mentions a bunch of games that Aaron wrote about: Adventure, Hunt the Wumpus, games made with Inform and Twine, 80 Days, Fallen London. 9m22s: Sen's childhood PET computer, Gil's childhood Panasonic computer 10m24s: The game Adventure, the company Infocom, and the rise of Multi-User Dungeons (MUDs). 14m16s: You can probably add board games like Gloomhaven to this list too! 17m28s: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy game, with the infamous Babel Fish puzzle. Here is the text of the Infocom hint guide for that puzzle. Click "Next Answer" for the next step. Each step has spoilers, obviously! Also, Gil was wrong, it was "only" 30 steps. 18m33s: Myst 20m07s: Infocom's "feelies." Several fan sites have information on them; this is one. 20m38s: Infocom's game Suspended had a ridiculously cool cover; a plastic injection-molded face with cut-outs for the eyes. The eyes you see on the cover are printed on cardboard beneath the face. Because the images for the eyes are recessed, they will seem to follow you if you walk past the game on the shelf.  22m54s: Robert Lafore's "Interactive Fiction" 26m46s: St. Bride's School 30m45s: The Oz Project 33m09s: The digital game Façade. 36m00s: Adventuron, Choice of Games' ChoiceScript, Inkle 37m00s: So Far, Photopia, Galatea, Trinity 42m01s: The harrowing dramatic film The Sweet Hereafter, which was an inspiration for Photopia. 44m46s: The seminal ARG The Beast, created to promote the film AI 49m47s: Here's the article Gil was talking about. Also, Porpentine's game With Those We Love Alive 52m35s: PixelBerry's interactive romances Choices, of which The Freshman is a story in the game. 56m10s: Ludology 151, where Geoff and Gil discuss what a game actually is. 57m57s: Aaron's book Subcutanean, which is different for everyone who buys it. 58m51s: Sen is likely thinking of Cain's Jawbone, a puzzle released in 1934 by Edward Mathers, under the pseudonym Torquemada. 1h01m27s: Archives of the Sky 1h03m03s: The short IF game 9:05. It's really quick; play it if you can! 1h04m10s: Star Saga One: Beyond the Boundary. 1h05m05s: Above & Below, Near & Far, Tales of the Arabian Nights 1h06m02s: Aaron's 50 Years of Text Games book

One more Canuck Puck for the road! This week, Jason picks the Sarah Polley-directed (yes, it's her third appearance in a short period of time, fight us!) weeper starring Julie Christie and Gordon Pinsent - Away From Her.

This week, the guys have their most focused and on-topic discussion yet when they discuss Atom Egoyan's masterpiece The Sweet Hereafter. They talk about their misconceptions before watching the film which were based on reputation and Oscar nominations, Egoyan's use of a fractured narrative and very selective plot details, Sarah Polley's real life informing her ability to reach certain emotional and maturity peaks at such a young age, the plot tying into the Pied Piper of Hamelin and much, much more.   Next week: the guys rally towards the top of the list by discussing the 2nd best Canadian film of all-time (according to TIFF) - Mon Oncle Antoine.

Having made three films as a director, Sarah Polley has become one of my favorite storytellers. All of her work has reflected an experience I've had to one degree or another and I've been a fan of hers going all the way back to her roles in films like GO and THE SWEET HEREAFTER. Joining me for an insightful discussion on her extraordinary three movies is returning guest and friend Kate Blair, who has written for several film websites and remains one of my favorite people to talk movies with.  For this episode, we go through Polley's exceptional work starting with her debut feature AWAY WE GO and ending on the hybrid docudrama STORIES WE TELL. And of course, there's a lot to say about the rather divisive TAKE THIS WALTZ as well. Be sure to preorder Polley's first memoir coming out next year and check out her interviews and podcasts because she's passionate, articulate and remarkably brave and revealing in so many ways. In addition, we briefly talk about the HBO show SUCCESSION, PTA's LICORICE PIZZA and the heartbreaking new Netflix documentary PROCESSION which was recently shown at the 2021 Chicago Critics Film Festival. 00:00 - 09:08 - Introduction 09:09 - 32:30 - What We Watched Recently 32:31 - 02:04:09 - Sarah Polley's Films 02:04:10 - 02:12:16 - Outro Kate Blair's Letterboxd Sarah Polley on The Thin Red Line DGC Podcast: Sarah Polley |  Adaptation Process & Changing Expectations for Directors  Sarah Polley Opens Up About What Really Matters to Her Sarah Polley - Interview Magazine Preorder Sarah's Memoir Out in 2022

13 episodes. 13 disciples. In this episode, Brian and I are betrayed, flayed, and dismayed at the literal last thing to happen in Riverdale Season 1. Joined by @almondarcade on Twitter dot com, we recap and discuss our final moments of joy before the season ends.

EPISODE 111 - PAUL SAROSSY - Cinematographer 
Team Deakins speaks with Paul Sarossy, a frequent collaborator with director Atom Egoyan, in this episode. Paul’s credits include THE SWEET HEREAFTER, REMEMBER, and AFFLICTION. We learn how Paul started by shooting news and what skills that gave him right off the bat. Of course, we speak about his collaboration with Atom Egoyan and learn how they work together. We break down a lot in the film, The Sweet Hereafter, and learn a lot! He shares that he thinks prep normally revolves around figuring out one thing and the rest “you just deal with”. We also touch on his working on two movies based on Russell Banks movies in a row, operating the camera, working with a non-linear time structure, digital technology as being subtractive vs additive, and the difference of working in TV and on features. And much, much more! A great conversation!

“There’s a wrenching scene in the haunting novel The Sweet Hereafter (not to be read for the faint of heart). A widowed husband is folding up the clothes of his late wife. He’s struck, holding her things, just how physically small she was.”Ryan describes why it’s the little things that you will remember after they’re gone, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.***If you enjoyed this week’s podcast, we’d love for you to leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

A small portion of movie theaters have re-opened their doors at 40% or less capacity. We surely ran straight to the multiplex to see UNHINGED, right?!? Nah, not a chance. Instead, we dive back into the latest VOD stream film with a watch of Michael Almereyda's bonkers Nikolai Tesla biopic, TESLA. Will this one be a crowd-pleasing take on one of the most intriguing and brilliant inventors of all-time, or simply an alienating niche-targeted picture. We give our takes on it here. In what has been one of the most anticipated PICK SIX segments for Andy this year, we each tackle our choices for the SIX BEST FILMS IN THE CAREER OF STEVE MARTIN. Noah dives into some essential Martin for the very first time in preparation for this countdown. Happy 75th, you damn fine comedy legend. Closing out this week's show for the THROWBACK CHALLENGE is a hearty discussion on our first-time watch of Atom Egoyan's much-praised 1997 film, THE SWEET HEREAFTER. Cheers! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-film-harmonic/support

Toby Reynolds discusses the 1997 Canadian film, The Sweet Hereafter by Atom Egoyan.

It's the final episode of the journey that's been season one of Riverdale. Hosts Maya and Luke discuss the culmination of the teen-led investigative work. But that's not the only drama of this episode: we get into Cheryl's reaction to the revelation that her father murdered her brother, Jughead's relocation to the ominous Southside High, a very compelling musical performance and speech at the Jubilee, and of course, the cliffhanger of a century enter the Black Hood.

Gabrielle Rose sits in the pantheon of Canadian acting legends. Her impressive filmography features iconic fare like The Sweet Hereafter, Maudie, Robson Arms, and The X-Files. Her list of stage credits is equally lengthy and includes farce, tragedies, and multiple characters (including Ethel Rosenberg and a rabbi) in the Arts Club's 2017 production of Angels in America, and the Electric Company's multimedia spectacle The Full Light of Day. She's won numerous awards, including five Leos and UBCP/ACTRA's Lorena Gale Woman of Distinction Award. In 2007, Women in Film & Television Vancouver named her Woman of the Year. Gabrielle has played all manner of emotions and character arcs in all manner of screen and stage projects, and she's developed productive and nuanced creative partnerships with filmmakers like Atom Egoyan and Bruce Sweeney. In this poignant and at times raucous conversation, Gabrielle speaks with Sabrina Furminger about her journey from her hometown of Kamloops, BC to the pantheon of Canadian acting legends, and the many colourful characters she's played and met along the way.

Ryan and Chloe have arrived at the end of their long and wonderful summer-long re-watch-along. Bughead, Varchie, and the power of Cheryl make us all pretty excited for Season 3! TW/CW for discussion of suicide.

'It looks better than any mid budget 90s movie has a right to look' How good can a 1990's mid budget Canadian drama, that's structured like a melodrama, with a heavy reliance of the allegorical power of the Pied Piper fable possibly be? Just don't watch the trailer.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upeFO4qwfXM We are Ricardo Deakin and Orla Mc Nelis, two filmy types who love waffling extensively about movies Follow us on Twitter: bit.ly/2fRzZzW Like us on Facebook: bit.ly/2fdF848

One of the most respected filmmakers of his generation and a true artist, Atom Egoyan is the director behind modern classics such as Exotica, the Oscar-nominated The Sweet Hereafter, Ararat, and Chloe. A master of visual and verbal storytelling, Egoyan takes bold non-linear routes through complex psychological terrain in his films. Hear from Atom Egoyan as he shares how he tells compelling stories in Canadian film and a rapidly changing industry, and why bold film-making has never been more important than it is in our current global political climate.

It's the "ultimate cliffhanger" (hehehe) this week as Mac & Maud start digging into the deeper problems surrounding the sleepy town of Riverdale. Not that it'll stop Archie from singing a really  dumb song. Loose ends are getting tied up, though we're losing Jughead to the Serpents and Cheryl's perilously close to suicide. While there's a big shock at the end, it's not nearly as shocking as the Scooby gang getting hot and heavy.Hell of a way to end a season...You can email us with feedback at macintoshandmaud@gmail.com, or you can connect with us on Instagram (macintosh.and.maud) and Facebook.If you like the podcast, make sure to subscribe and review on iTunes or your favorite podcatcher, and tell your friends.

John and Kaitlin close out season 1 of RIVERDALE with many questions: Is Fred dead? Are Betty and Jughead doomed? And, finally: Will Archie go full dark, no stars, and stop being the sexy lamp we've come to love?

We did kids! We finished the season, and we did it together. Anne and Tia had a super fun time with their special guests Moo-Man and Jackie as they reacted very dramatically to the season finale. We broke format for this one. We did a talk along and then discussion! It was a great time […]

Jughead finds himself on the other side of the tracks. With the truth about the Blossoms' family business revealed, Cheryl take matters into her own manicured hands.   Twitter: @BookDreamer01 @TVMovieMistress              Brandon: @ssnpodcast  Email: TvMovieMistress@Gmail.Com Amazon Wish List Link: http://a.co/ijrPpG0 Donations are welcome and appreciated: https://paypal.me/tvmoviemistress  

The debate over whether the government can access your phone is here. Hello! You've probably been following along, but in case you need the tl;dr: The debate revved up last month when the FBI asked Apple to hack into a locked iPhone associated with one of the gunmen from the San Bernardino massacre last December. Since then, the conversation has evolved into a national debate over what the government should (and shouldn't) be allowed to access. The conversation has officially moved outside the realm of tech and the government. With 90 percent of American adults owning a cell phone, the issue is hitting a lot closer to home than even the Edward Snowden revelations. On this week's episode, you'll hear from Russell Banks, Pulitzer Prize-nominated writer and author of "The Sweet Hereafter," "Affliction," and "Cloudsplitter." Banks was one of several prolific writers, including Gay Talese and Sandra Cisneros, who signed a letter last month calling for the FBI to stand down in their attempt to hack Apple.  But why are authors so invested in the surveillance debate? Banks explains that when it comes to researching a taboo topic or writing about a sensitive matter, writers don't want to self-censor just because the government may be watching (or even flagging) language and/or behavior. And this is no small matter for the nonfiction and fiction scribes of the world. The advocacy group PEN found that 75 percent of writers living in democracies are concerned about their privacy.  In a California court, the FBI is temporarily placing their legal battle with Apple on hold since an outside party is assisting the government in their efforts to unlock the phone.  If this has you a little freaked out, you're not alone. Follow this up by listening to Walter Kirn explain if our phones are eavesdropping on us. via GIPHY If you're upset that this is isn't the "sh*t you can put on your head" episode, fret not.
