    'Obsession' with Director Curry Barker

    Curry Barker is the director of OBSESSION — the wickedly funny, deeply unsettling horror film that had us screaming with joy at South by Southwest. Sena and Gabriel sit down with him to talk wishes gone wrong, the comedy-to-horror pipeline, and the breakout performance from Inde Navarrette. Curry walks us through how a story about a couple obsessed with each other curdled into a meditation on masculinity, consent, and the gap between wanting something and deserving it. He gets into the audition take that told him the movie was going to work, design the One Wish Willow talisman with his mom, makes the talisman's signature sound on his phone, and ranks the classic wish-gone-wrong talismans from the Monkey's Paw to the Midas Touch to the Faustian bargain. OBSESSION is in theaters May 15.

    Devon Bostick of MILE END KICKS

    Mile End Kicks star Devon Bostick joins Schmear and Sena for a conversation about one of the most charming Canadian films of the year. Devon shares his NO NOTES perfect movie pick, gets into what it was like to return to the exact era he was filming Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and channel all of that into Archie and raves about co-star Barbie Ferreira and what made her such a special presence on set. They also play a round of Over/Under rating Montreal, the 2010s as a decade, and dating multiple members of the same band. They close with Devon making a very strong case for why Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie is one of the most underrated films of the year.

    'Blue Heron' Director Sophy Romvari

    BLUE HERON director Sophy Romvari joins Schmear to discuss her moving new film. They get into why a zoom lens beats a dolly on every setup, the story behind her late brother's real hand-drawn maps and what they mean to the film, and the time jump you won't see coming. Romvari also shares her NO NOTES perfect movie pick, reflects on Spielberg's A.I. as the first film she ever saw in a theater, weighs in on what Canadian cinema is quietly getting so right right now, and closes on a wildcard dream project that has nothing to do with anything she's made before.

    'Lord of the Flies' Director Marc Munden

    Director Marc Munden on his hallucinatory new Netflix adaptation of Lord of the Flies—pulling the infrared filter off the camera and letting the jungle bleed pink. We get into casting with Nina Gold, five weeks of rehearsals, and why Lox Pratt (next up as Draco in HBO's Harry Potter) plays Jack like a spoiled rock star prince. Plus: directing the final episodes of The Sympathizer with Robert Downey Jr. and Park Chan-wook; his No Notes pick (Sweet Smell of Success); and why Lord of the Flies isn't about toxic masculinity—it's about a dutiful democrat losing to an entitled narcissist. Marc Munden's Lord of the Flies is streaming now on Netflix.

    Industry S4 E8 - "Both, And" - Finale Explained!

    (DISCLAIMER—This was recorded prior to S5 renewal announcement!!)Well, we've made it to the Industry S4 finale, and it feels so...bad?The Titans of Industry—Schmear, Sena Adjei, and Jesse Aaronson—parse a uniquely elegiac finale, which brought big wins and huge spiritual and moral losses for nearly all of Industry's characters. They break down a vitriolic exchange between Kit Harington's Henry Muck and Max Minghella's Whitney and praise Harington's unsung comedy chops. They delve into Harper, Kwabaneh, and Sweetpea at Stern ____ (née Tao)?, turning conviction into dollars, and Maria Abela's Yasmin going full political operator mode. Then, a trip to Paris for a very disturbing dinner party put on by Yas for icky political hopeful Sebastian Stefanowicz (Edward Holcroft). The trio discuss the dissolution of Yas and Harper's friendship, the eerie Ghislaine Maxwell parallels, and the surprising final scene with Harper and our favorite investigative journalist. After that it's Stock Up and Stock Down, and the trio announces what's next for The Official Unofficial Industry Podcast.
