This week, Moritz Binder – the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of September 5 – joins us to celebrate Sergio Leone’s landmark Western The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, from the magnificently sweaty cast to the sun-blasted locations to Ennio Morricone’s iconic score. Your genial host Norm Wilner is still a Tuco guy, despite everything.

Jacob Anderson on Hot Rod
He broods magnificently in HBO’s Interview with the Vampire, but actor Jacob Anderson shows his looser side in Alice Lowe’s romantic comedy Timestalker, landing in US theaters and on demand this Valentine’s Day. And he’s here to share the gospel of Hot Rod, the 2007 comedy that brought Andy Samberg and his pals in The Lonely Island to the big screen a bit before the big screen was ready for them. Your genial host Norm Wilner, though? He was ready.

Anna Catley on Velvet Goldmine
As Sook-Yin Lee’s dramedy Paying for It rolls into Canadian theaters, the film’s editor Anna Catley – whose other credits include Things I Do for Money and We Forgot to Break Up – stops in to talk about the allure of Todd Haynes’ glam-rock reverie Velvet Goldmine, which introduced her to new methods of storytelling at exactly the right point in her creative development. Your genial host Norm Wilner was shocked to realize he still hasn’t seen the original cut of this one.

Lowell Dean on Superman The Movie
Writer-director Lowell Dean has two movies coming out this year; the first, Dark Match, hits Canadian theatres and lands on Shudder in the US this Friday, January 31st. And to celebrate its arrival, he’s here to talk about Richard Donner’s 1978 blockbuster Superman: The Movie -- which defined superhero cinema, made instant stars out of Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder, and got a generation to believe a man can fly. Your genial host Norm Wilner always knew, of course.

Flashback - Rick Roberts on Eraserhead
To honor the life of David Lynch, whose death last week left a hole in world cinema, here's an episode from September 2017 featuring actor Rick Roberts on discovering the director’s first feature, the undefinable Eraserhead, and becoming a lifelong fan. Your genial host Norm Wilner just wants to lose himself in art right about now, you know?
SOMEONE ELSE’S MOVIE is just what it says on the label: Each week, an actor, director, screenwriter, critic or industry observer will discuss a film that he or she admires, but had no hand in making. Hosted as genially as possible by Norm Wilner.
