Returning guest Erik Childress talks with Jim about the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival and the really good time he had this year. Obviously, we don't touch on all 38 movies (!) he saw in 6 days, but we discuss around 12 titles that stood out.  Included are spoiler-free summations on these films in particular:

Antiviral
Cloud Atlas
Frances Ha
John Dies at the End
Passion
Seven Psychopaths
Silver Linings Playbook
The Iceman
The Impossible
The Place Beyond the Pines
To the Wonder
