This week on Someone Else’s Movie, I’m joined by self-described local musician  Brendan Canning, who took an afternoon off from mixing Broken Social Scene’s new record Hug of Thunder for a chat about Lars Von Trier’s Melancholia.

It is a profoundly chill conversation, given the subject matter, but that’s kind of Brendan’s charm. And if you follow this episode with Sofia Bohdanowicz’ look at Dancer in the Dark, you’ll enjoy a fairly thorough look at Von Trier’s artistry and personality from two very different perspectives.

You can find Brendan’s episode on iTunes, Google Play Music and Stitcher, or just download it straight from the web. But if you subscribe on the podcatcher of your choice, you don’t have to do all the clicking every week. And isn’t that better for everyone?
