With over 300 films and only eleven days, you’d think there’d be no time for All Kinds of Philler! This is the final episode of our coverage on the Toronto International Film Festival. Earl brings in Parker Mott again to reflect on the festival as a whole, as well as discuss Enemy, Mystery Road, Why Don’t You Play in Hell?, and 12 Years a Slave. They also compare their overall festival impressions, all the while fighting exhaustion and the lull after the thrill of watching films for eleven days.  (Note: Recorded at a semi-open restaurant, but background noise was kept as minimal as possible.)

Guests:
Parker Mott (@parkermott) – Writer & film critic for The Final Take, Scene Creek, Movie Knight

With over 300 films and only eleven days, you’d think there’d be no time for All Kinds of Philler! This is the second episode of our coverage of the Toronto International Film Festival, with Earl bringing in Christine, a new guest to the show. They discuss their festival experiences so far and the movies they’ve enjoyed, such as Canopy, The Double, and Noah. They also talk about Spike Jonze, Jim Jarmusch, all over a wildly mismatched soundtrack, thanks to the bookstore’s PA system. (Note: Recorded at a bookstore, so you can ignore some ambient noise in the background.)

Guests:
Christine

With over 300 films and only eleven days, you’d think there’d be no time for All Kinds of Philler! This is the first of what’s planned as a series of short episodes on the Toronto International Film Festival. Earl manages to get together with Parker Mott while lining up for one of the events, talking about their festival experiences so far. Patrick Barfoot joins them partway to offer up what he’s looking forward to. They talk about some of the most-buzzed about films like Blue is the Warmest Color, 12 Years a Slave, and Palo Alto, as well as smaller fare like Unbeatable, Mystery Road, and Night Moves. They also recommend some choices if you plan to catch a movie at the last minute, or in theatres in the next few months. (Note: Recorded at a crowded line-up, but background noise was kept as minimal as possible.)

Guests:
Parker Mott (@parkermott) – Writer & film critic for The Final Take, Scene Creek, Movie Knight
