Thoughts from your host…

Hello again – Welcome to a new season of cinema and shenanigans!

It feels like so much has happened in the world since we went on break in August, but I won’t recap that now. I will say that I hope all of y’all are keeping safe during these interesting times we are living in.

As for me, I took a moment in the middle of TIFF ahead of the only Midnight Madness film I saw…and I actually mapped-out the entire autumn schedule for the show! Potential films…potential guests…the whole nine yards!

As we start our sixteenth season of the show, I’m way ahead in my planning for the first time in a long time – and it is going to be a fun few months before we close the book on ’24.

When time came to choose a film to come back with, I just knew we’d be starting with this one. And when I knew we were going to start here, I knew precisely who I wanted to have on. There are so many threads in this film to pull on, and even after an hour, I feel like we’re still untangling the knot of former tapestry.

So pour a glass, have a seat, grab a thread and start pulling. Just remember – we are one, and we must respect the schedule

😉
