For this week's second podcast review, Sara Clements, Giovanni Lago, and Alyssa Christian join me to review and discuss the latest film from Academy Award-nominated director Paul Greengrass, "The Lost Bus," starring Matthew McConaughey, America Ferrera, Yul Vazquez, and Ashlie Atkinson. Known for directing real-life survival drama thrillers, Greengrass co-wrote the screenplay with Brad Ingelsby, based on the nonfiction 2021 book "Paradise: One Town's Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire" by Lizzie Johnson, which recounts the story of the 2018 Camp Fire —the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California's history. The film premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews, and is now playing in limited release before it's available to stream on Apple TV+ on October 3rd. Please tune in as we discuss the direction, performances, writing, crafts, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

At this years Toronto International Film Festival I got to interview a bunch of sound people in town to support films screening at TIFF. This episode collects 3 of those interviews, covering some of the international films that I saw during the festival. First up I talk with Oscar winning sound supervisor, Sylvain Bellmare, about the Quebecois film Mille secrets mille dangers (Lovely Day). Then Therese Gylfe & Tove Lidman discuss their work on the Swedish/Spainish film Forestera, which won a major award at TIFF. The final interview of this episode is with María Alejandra Rojas & Arturo Salazar about the really cool Brazilian/Mexican film The Blue Trail. The is movie is a futuristic science fiction film covering the unique ways technology will affect third world countries. __________
