As October arrives in Canada, so too comes the time for friends and family to gather, break bread, and give thanks. While the actual Thanksgiving Weekend is still about ten days off, The Matineecast will be celebrating it on Saturday when we sit down to record episode 96.

The Thanksgiving episode a traditional feedback question, and since the previous podcast episode dropped just a few days ago, I thought I might give the question a post all its own. Hopefully some of you might respond here, and hopefully I can even score a few responses from people who don’t normally listen to the show.

So it’s a simple question really:

What’s something film-related that you are thankful for this year?

  1. I forgot that Thanksgiving comes a month earlier in Canada than in the US 🙂

    Well I have a lot to be thankful for in terms of film. For one, I’m glad we have two film festivals in town, granted they’re nowhere near as big as TIFF but still, it’s a privilege to have them. I’m also grateful for press screenings! 😀

  2. I’m thankful that I’m an increasingly more credible film writer and that my BA in Cinema and Media Studies hasn’t gone to waste. If you told me last year that my writing would be posted on the Huffington Post, I probably would’ve laughed.

  3. I’m thankful for all of the great films that I’ve gotten to see this year. It’s not often that so many excellent features come in through the pipeline before Nov/Dec.

    I’m also feeling grateful that I was accepted into the Las Vegas Film Critics Society, very much looking forward to that awards ballot in the mail.

  4. I’m thankful for Lake Bell deciding to make her own movie, Matthew McConaughey remaining in the groove, Donnie the Tour Guide in “White House Down”, Brit Marling being Brit Marling and Olga Kurylenko’s pirouettes in “To the Wonder”.

  6. I’m really thankful for Kathryn Bigelow making Zero Dark Thirty. It may sound strange, but that film is one of the most inspiring films I’ve ever seen, in terms of an amazing achievement by a female filmmaker, with an amazing central character and a flawless performance by Jessica Chastain. Otherwise I’m thankful for Baz Luhrmann coming back and giving us that over the top Gatsby introduction (I just love it so much), the “Every Time” scene in Spring Breakers and Before Midnight being spectacular,
