… but sweet!

Fun fact: Both of the podcasts I’m releasing today are really, really short. They’re good, I think, but they’re short.

Not that I’m suggesting they don’t deserve your full attention, of course. At Someone Else’s Movie, I’m joined by Michael Sarnoski — whose first feature Pig is one of the best things I’ve seen this year, and yes it’s the one where Nicolas Cage just wants his pig back — to discuss the bouncy pleasures of Sam Raimi’s 2002 Spider-Man, a choice both surprising and delightful.

Trust me on this: Whether or not you’re interested in the pig movie, you’ll want to check out the episode. Subscribe on Apple PodcastsGoogle Play and Stitcher to get it instantly, or download it directly from the web whenever you damn well feel like it.

And then you can zip on over to the newest episodes of NOW What, which as it turns out are also film focused: Today, I talk to Gaia director Jaco Bouwer about his movie’s voluptuous eco-horror and the cultural anxieties that produced it, and last Friday Rad, Glenn and I discussed the reopening of Toronto movie houses and the very different anxieties the three of us are experiencing as a result.

And then there’s all the writing. Here’s last week’s What to Watch page, and my longer reviews of A Quiet Place Part II and the Fear Street trilogy; I also interviewed Scarborough’s own Eric Bauza about voicing Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and other beloved Warner Bros. animated characters in Space Jam: A New Legacy. That was really fun. I think I’m finally getting the hang of Zoom junkets.
