This week on Someone Else’s Movie, producer and distributor Avi Federgreen — whose Indiecan Entertainment just released its 100th feature, Monolith — drops in to talk about a movie I legitimately did not expect him to choose.
Specifically, he picked Some Kind of Wonderful, the movie John Hughes and Howard Deutch made after Pretty in Pink and which is basically Pretty in Pink with the genders flipped and a better ending.
Avi being Avi, the conversation also veers into the problems facing Canadian cinema — which is a subject that’ll come up again this week, as it happens — but I think you’ll see how the connections work, even with the rain delay.
Where can you get it? Why, simply subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Google Play or Stitcher, or download it directly from the web. And then you can enjoy it, and you will be happy. People should be happy.
Unrelated to today’s post, but of course you were right about Paddington 2. Laughs, a tear or two, and gross barberly harm.
It’s just so wonderful, isn’t it? I was worried a sequel wouldn’t be able to recapture the first film’s perfect tone, but I think they may have even topped it.
