Episode 105: Atom Egoyan

Hey guys! Jim here. Well, I'm nowhere to be found in this episode other than the ad and parody song. I had to take a couple weeks off, so I enlisted the help of two of my favorite previous guests to take the helm for an epic examination of a favorite Canadian filmmaker of theirs. Bill Ackerman and Al Kwiatkowski took it upon themselves to discuss the entire filmography of one Atom Egoyan, whose two films EXOTICA and THE SWEET HEREAFTER were highly acclaimed in the late 90s and well worth your time. But what about the films prior to those two as well as his latter work? Listen in on an incredibly enlightening discussion on a filmmaker you should definitely become more familiar with, if you're not already! Much gratitude to Bill and Al for their hard work and for their terrific conversation that you won't want to miss.

*in case you're one of the earlier downloaders of this episode, you'll notice there was a little gap right around the discussion around Felicia's Journey. thankfully that has since been edited out. apologies for missing it before!
