    In The Seats With....Skinner, Allen Cordell and 'Art Show! With Captain Skinner'

    Sometimes you've got to embrace getting a little weird....On this episode we're going a little off the beaten path with something gloriously weird and unconventional.  It's time for 'Art Show! With Captain Skinner'With weekly episodes on Substack and YouTube, the best way to describe 'Art Show! With Captain Skinner' would be to compare our star Captain Skinner to something like Bob Ross...but while taking a bunch of drugs, riffing on some weird shit, crafting a visual love letter to the art of gore while oh by the way...flying through space.It's gonzo....and we haven't been able to stop laughing since we've been turned on to this....We had the chance to crack open the glorious unhinged minds of co-creator and star Skinner along with director Allen Cordell to get down to the bottom of this glorious fever dream that is filling up our screens.Visit Substack or YouTube to sign up for  'Art Show!

    In The Seats With....Adam MacDonald and 'This Is Not A Test'

    Sometimes it's important to buck convention....On this episode we dive into the new horror movie hitting theatres this weekend from Canada's own Adam MacDonald,  It's for 'This Is Not A Test'.Sloane (Olivia Holt)  and a small group of her classmates take cover in their high school to escape their suddenly apocalyptic hometown. As danger relentlessly pounds on the doors, Sloane begins to see the world through the eyes of people who actually want to live and takes matters into her own hands.Adapted from the book by Courtney Summers, 'This Is Not A Test' avoids the trappings of your standard teen zombie horror flick to give us something a little more psychologically severe and grounded as these young people coming of age are confronted with decisions they never even considered in their lives until now.We had the pleasure to sit down with writer/director Adam MacDonald to find out what drew him to the project, giving it more of a grounded tone, working with star Olivia Holt and so very much more.'This Is Not A Test' is in theatres now...

    In The Seats With....Nathalie Pitters, Nigel Williams and 'How To Get To Heaven From Belfast'

    You can never be sure where you're going to find your new favorite show...On this episode we go behind the scenes on the show that you haven't discovered yet, but ultimately won't stop talking about it for the rest of the year.  Let's figure out 'How To Get To Heaven From Belfast'.From the team behind 'Derry Girls' (not Bad Girls as I mistakenly referred to it) this show is the story of Three lifelong friends reunite after the death of an old classmate turns a wake into a dark mystery. They embark on a thrilling adventure across Ireland, piecing together enigmatic truths amid complicated lives.This show is such a rare and unique blend of different genres that we had to ask how it all came together to work as well as it did.  We had the pleasure of sitting down with cinematographer Nathalie Pitters and editor Nigel Williams to see how it all came together as all these artisans are seemingly working in their own bubbles to create this joyous piece of entertainment.  We talk about styles, creative process and so very much more....

    In The Seats With....Lars Brinkema, Torsten Brinkema and 'Threshold'

    The Olympic struggle is more real then many of us actually imagine.In the wake of the recent Winter Olympics , on this episode we dive into the intensity of what it takes to compete at the Olympic level in a sport which is even more physically and psychologically intense then we expected.  It's time to cross 'Threshold'.'Threshold' is the story of Olympic gold medalist and most decorated American cross-country skier ever, Jessie Diggins, and the struggle behind her smile– a painful fight with an eating disorder at the peak of her career.  Through unprecedented access to Jessie and those closest to her, the film offers an intimate look into the complexity of a disorder that often hides in plain sight yet remains tragically underrepresented in film and misunderstood in care. The film unfolds over the course of a single, high-stakes season, while moving fluidly through time to reveal the deeper roots of Jessie’s struggle. Present-day vérité—embedded with Jessie and the U.S. Ski Team—intercuts with formative moments from her past, tracing how a relentless pursuit of perfection took hold early in her career as she internalized the belief that control of body mass was essential to success.  What follows is not a retrospective, but a season lived in real time– where progress and pressure coexist. From grueling races above the Arctic Circle to the first World Cup on American snow in more than twenty-five years, the film tracks a season of mounting pressure at the highest level of sport. This is a stunning feature debut from this duo of filmmaking brothers and we had the chance to sit down with them last week while they were still in Italy with the US Olympic Ski Team and we talked about the origins of the film, getting Jessie to be willing to expose some pretty raw emotions as we truly get a sense of how far these top level competitors will push themselves (often too far) in the search for the top of the podium.'Threshold' is streaming on Peacock after it's debut tonight.

    We're showing our age with the hope that is in 80's Rock Docs.On this episode we are seeing the collision of two of our biggest passions; film restoration and 80's Pop Culture Rock Docs.  It's time for 'The Long Way Home'.From the late Michael Apted, and restored from the only existing 16mm print, supervised by producer Steven Lawrence and editor Susanne Rostock. 'The Long Way Home: Remastered and Expanded  (2026)  is a revealing, rollicking portrait of the Soviet underground rock legend Boris Grebenshchikov, who became the first to record in the West during the early, optimistic days of Glasnost. The film features Boris Grebenshchikov, Dave Stewart and members of legendary Russian rock band Aquarium, with special appearances by Annie Lennox, Chrissie Hynde, Ray Cooper, Crosby, Stills & Nash and many more.Playing this coming Wednesday at To Save and Project: The 22nd MoMA International Festival of Film Preservation this is an event that is a must see if you're in New York.We got to talk with producer Steven Lawrence about restoring this story, the additional epilogue he shot with Boris, working with Michael Apted, this films place in Rock Doc lore and so very much more....

    In The Seats With...Gabriel Domingues and 'The Secret Agent'

    When you're building a village that it takes to populate a movie, quality relationships matter...On this episode we are still deep in the throws of awards consideration season and we get the pleasure of diving into the Golden Globe winning 'The Secret Agent'.From Writer/Director Kleber Mendonça Filho, 'The Secret Agent' takes us back to Brazil, 1977. Marcelo, a technology expert in his early 40s, is on the run. He arrives in Recife during carnival week, hoping to reunite with his son but soon realizes that the city is far from being the non-violent refuge he seeks.It's a fictional story but pulled from the very real political strife that rocked Brazil in the late 70's.  Wagner Moura leads a massive cast which is why it was so fascinating to get a chance to sit down with Casting Director Gabriel Domingues about his work on the film, the importance of having a pre existing relationship with Writer/Director Kleber Mendonça Filho, and assembling a cast with dozens of actors and even more supporting and background players.Go and see 'The Secret Agent' anyway you can, it's already won some awards with many more to come.

    In The Seats With....Aiyana-Lee and 'Highest 2 Lowest'

    The right song can not only brings the house down, but it can add layers to the story that you couldn't even imagine....On this episode we have a fun one as we get to sit with a genuine up and coming star.  We get to sit down with Aiyana-Lee to talk about her song in the movie 'Highest 2 Lowest'This is a straight up power house of a song that will not only bring the house down but it truly does some up the entire arc of the movie that sums up the story arc of music mogul David King (played by Denzel Washington) as he navigates his way and his families way through a life or death situation.We won't use the tired line of calling her an overnight success, but being discovered by Spike Lee on Instagram to being on set with Denzel is certainly one hell of a compelling story.  We talked about that, basically writing a whole album when Spike asked her for a song, her musical heritage, storytelling across artistic mediums and so very much more.Check out 'Highest 2 Lowest' on Apple TV+ now.
