Sometimes a podcast is about more than the subject at hand. Sometimes, what is being discussed with unforeseen honesty and candour isn’t actually one’s take on a movie, but one’s take on life in general. I don’t know why certain guests are sparked by a feeling of honesty, but when they are, I can’t help but get a little more honest myself.

To put a point on it, what Andrew is right about is that sometimes a podcast isn’t about a movie, it’s about the people watching the movie. This is one of those times.

I mention this within the recording itself, but it bears repeating – I need to give a high degree of thanks to John LaRue. John – the brains behind The Droid You’re Looking For – is pretty badass when it comes to graphics. So when I decided that the time had finally come to retire The Matineecast’s microphone icon and bring in something new, John was only too happy to employ his mad skills.

So thanks again John; your handiwork sure does look sweet in the sidebar of this lowly blog.

Two other programming notes: This episode’s discussion of BEFORE MIDNIGHT doesn’t begin until its final act, so if you’ve only seen Linklater’s previous two films, please do tune in for those chapters. Further to that point, the discussion never skips ahead. So if you’re interested in listening, but don’t want to be spoiled with what’s to come, we’ve got you covered.

Here’s what’s in store in episode eighty-eight…
