This week, we continue to stroll through Europe as we're joined by traffic anchor, physical media archivist and Vancouver film criticism scion Marc Staehling for an unseen entry from his collection: 2004's Before Sunset, directed by Richard Linklater, starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, from a script by Linklater, Hawke and Delpy. Like the 1995 film it follows, the whole appeal is a stripped-down, naturalistic approach to onscreen romance, as Jesse and Celine reunite 9 years later for a movie that follows their catch-up conversation in real-time. It feels like checking in with old friends again, and we can't wait to see where the trilogy takes us with next week's finale.

You can find Marc on air at AM730 Traffic in Vancouver, and online on both Twitter and Letterboxd: @maybe_yes_sir

Additional works discussed in this episode include All of Us Strangers, Ran, To Live and Die in L.A., Midnight Run, King of Killers, Blow Out, Dressed to Kill, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Welcome to Mooseport, Dazed and Confused, Waking Life, A Scanner Darkly, Two Days in Paris, Demolition, Hit Man, and The Dark Knight Rises.

If you'd like to watch the film before listening along to our discussion, it and Before Sunrise are both available to stream in Canada on Crave and Starz.

We'll be back next week as February Is For Lovers continues with Linklater's Before Midnight, a film currently streaming in Canada on Amazon Prime, Tubi, and the CTV app. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
