Podcasters: Do any of you use anything other than Audacity or Garage Band to create your shows? I can’t imagine that any of you do, but figured I would ask considering I’ve just run into a bit of a wall with the way I produce these shows. Drop me a not if any of y’all use something different.
As for this particular episode, I’m really happy to have the show back-on-track. Truthfully, I might be a bit too happy (I’m a little chattier than usual in this episode). But between sitting down with a guest I’ve wanted to bring in for months, and soaking up a film that’s one of my most-anticipated of the year, it was hard to keep things succinct.
Maybe it’s just that when I sit down across from this man, I’m used to being the one who’s on-the-spot and expected to bring the goods (being on his home court didn’t help either). That’s alright, I’m guesting on his show this weekend…I’ll even the score and make him do the heavy lifting. Fair’s fair, right?
Here’s what’s in store in episode one-hundred-and-twenty-three…

The sad irony of the Cinesphere not currently being used is that it was the world’s FIRST permanent IMAX theatre. Experiences like INTERSTELLAR probably would not exist today if it wasn’t for this theatre at a Toronto amusement park, which showed 45 minute documentaries (who HASN’T seen BLUE PLANET as a kid?).
Thankfully, it seems that the current plans for revitalizing Ontario Place includes the Cinesphere.
I too saw Interstellar on IMAX, and think it real benefited from it, as Gravity did last year. I think Gravity will loose more in translation to the small screen though. I will have to watch them as a double feature when Interstellar hits DVD next year!
It seems that Nolan has gone from: Can do no wrong, to people trying to find fault where there is none. I loved Interstellar, it has its problems but ultimately it is an epic movie experience not many directors can deliver. It is also a very personal and human story disguised as a big blockbuster, something that Nolan does particularly well.
As for your question. I still can’t get excited about animation and can’t think of any animated film that I really want to see.
