Back on Episode 100, Kurt Halfyard clued me in to the phenomenon of “podcast creep”…where a familiarity and a comfort sends the runtime of a given show climbing and climbing into longer runtimes as the podcast continues through the months.
Thinking back through the last few episodes of the show, it’s easy for me to understand that sensation.
As much as I love sitting down with new voices, and connecting via Skype to points all over the world, there’s something about having my close friends over to raise a glass and talk about things we love that just seems to deny succinctness. I’m good with that.
Thing is that along with giving y’all audio windows into my love and thoughts on film, a small piece of me enjoys giving you audio windows that look out onto the people I’m close to – and this episode is no exception. If it takes eighty-five minutes to get that done as opposed to sixty-five, I’m pretty sure you folks are OK with that, right?
And so the Matineecast creeps on.
Here’s what’s in store in episode one-hundred-and-fifteen…

Snowpiercer July 18th in Toronto!
Noticed that when I was at Lightbox on Friday.
About-bloody-well-time!
It was a pleasure to be on your podcast and I thank you kindly for inviting me again. It is always an absolute pleasure.
Also, I’m keeping a list of every time you call me Kathleen. I have to find a way to get you back… I’m currently accepting suggestions.
I said it was a pleasure twice. THAT’S how fun it is. Or, you know… I should probably drink some more coffee.
Good luck trying to get me back – and thanks again for bringing the goods to this episode. It was really hard to cut this sucker down to time!
I can’t answer your question this week as it has never happened to me but I will go of on a tangent: I have never seen The Crying Game, as someone gave away the twist to me. I have been given a copy on VHS (yes I still watch videos!) so will probably watch it one day.
On a similar topic and related to you discussion; I have never liked The Sixth Sense, probably because I saw the twist coming. On the other hand I also saw the twist coming in The Village but liked it regardless. My favourite M. Night Shyamalan is Unbreakable where I didn’t see the twist coming, but re-watching it now I can’t believe I didn’t the.
