Writer-director Blake Winston Rice – whose latest short film Disc is playing this week in the Clemont-Ferrand Short Film Festival – is so enraptured by Chloe Zhao’s swooning historical drama Hamnet that he had to bring it onto the show. Your genial host Norm Wilner can see how that could happen.

Emmanuel Kabongo on Training Day

Rising actor Emmanuel Kabongo – who both produces and stars in the new thriller Sway, opening in Toronto on Friday – counts Denzel Washington’s Oscar-winning performance in Training Day as one of the formative experiences of his young life, so Antoine Fuqua’s 2001 thriller was his first choice for the podcast.

Rob Reiner RIP - Allana Harkin on When Harry Met Sally

In memory of the late Rob Reiner, we’re revisiting two of his best-beloved films: This week, it’s Allana Harkin’s 2017 celebration of When Harry Met Sally, the romantic comedy that gave us Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan and Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby at their most effortlessly charming – and minted Nora Ephron as a genre-defining screenwriter. Your genial host Norm Wilner had forgotten all about the massive rainstorm halfway through the episode.
