They recap serving as jurors at a film festival and roaming Palm Springs' streets, hikes, and parties. They chat about standout screenings from awards-season contenders and a moving microbudget film called Burt. They hunt rare movie books, attend classic film presentations, and swap lively audience encounters and festival distribution tales.

Delve into the quirky 90s anthology film, exploring its Sundance roots and the unique styles of its various directors. Hear critiques of each segment, from Allison Anders' witch-themed tale to Tarantino's swagger-filled monologue that's full of ego. The discussion unpacks the pitfalls of anthology storytelling and contrasts it with other films of the era. Plus, get a glimpse behind the scenes with missing footage and the impact of Tim Roth’s comedic performance as the beleaguered bellhop.

Justin, Mike Wood (The Very Fine Comic Book Podcast) and Mark Hanson (The Bay Street Video Podcast) went to see How The Grinch Stole Christmas at a sold-out screening at The Revue Cinema in Toronto, Canada. Following the event, they recorded their thoughts. Enjoy.

We discuss Dolph Lundgren and two films he made that take place during Christmas: ROCKY IV and I COME IN PEACE, as well as one of his directorial efforts, CASTLE FALLS.
