Lowell Dean on Superman The Movie

Writer-director Lowell Dean has two movies coming out this year; the first, Dark Match, hits Canadian theatres and lands on Shudder in the US this Friday, January 31st. And to celebrate its arrival, he’s here to talk about Richard Donner’s 1978 blockbuster Superman: The Movie -- which defined superhero cinema, made instant stars out of Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder, and got a generation to believe a man can fly. Your genial host Norm Wilner always knew, of course.

Jack Clark and Jim Weir on High and Low

With their bachelor-party nightmare Birdeater in theaters and on demand in the US and en route to Canada, Australian filmmakers Jack Clark and Jim Weir drop by to share their love for Akira Kurosawa’s relentless 1963 crime drama High and Low, starring Toshiro Mifune as an executive whose scheme to take over his own company is derailed when a kidnapper mistakenly abducts his chauffeur’s son. Your genial host Norm Wilner has been waiting so long for someone to pick a Kurosawa movie, you have no idea.

José Avelino Gilles Corbett Lourenço on Wayne's World

His delightful first feature Young Werther opens across Canada this Friday, so writer-director José Avelino Gilles Corbett Lourenço is here to kick off the new year by being entirely worthy of Mike Myers’ 1992 blockbuster-slash-breakout Wayne’s World, directed by Penelope Spheeris. Your genial host Norm Wilner is happy to kick off 2025 riding shotgun in the Mirthmobile.

Flashback - A Very Kristian Bruun Christmas

With the holidays upon us – and the second season of The Recruit hitting Netflix in the new year – we’re reaching back to 2015 for A Very Kristian Bruun Christmas, in which the Orphan Black and Murdoch Mysteries star hangs out with your genial host Norm Wilner, eating too much fruitcake and talking about the seasonal cinema they both love. Nog up and enjoy, unless “nog up” has a different meaning nowadays.

Michael Clowater on The Station Agent

With his first feature Drive Back Home in theaters across Canada, writer-director Michael Clowater wanted to talk about another modestly scaled, emotionally alive debut: Tom McCarthy’s delicate 2003 character study The Station Agent. Your genial host Norm Wilner is really glad he did.

Conversations I wish I had

13/11/2018

Some guy who likes futurism

It’s a real pleasure to listen to Norm and his guests dive into a movie , what works and why, the context of the filmmaker’s work. Just as much excitement and forethought is applied to 80’s action movie or a decent art house film. Not too pretentious, but never shallow. Love love love this podcast.
skip the men...

sadly we can’t skip the host but listen closely to the men...they have the language down but their true feelings (racism & sexism) come through loud and clear...
For people who really love movies

johan es la puerta

This is a podcast by, with, and for people who love movies. All kinds (the people and the movies)! Norm Wilner, the host, is a film critic, and his guests are folks who work in the film/entertainment business - in other words, these are always people who have spent a lot of time thinking about and working on movies, probably even making them their life's work. The conversations are in-depth appreciations, sometimes somber, sometimes funny, sometimes both. For someone who truly loves film, this podcast is like getting to hang out with "your people."
Universal Appeal

This is one of the most articulate and erudite podcasts I listen to. I am from Texas so I thought the Canada catalyst behind this would make this a bit inaccessible, but this is simply not the case. The discussions ave universal appeal and accessibility. Joe Bob says Check it out.
