Alexander is joined again by Vancouver filmmaker Paige Smith to discuss Jennifer Baichwal’s 2006 documentary Manufactured Landscapes.

William and Alexander examine controversial critics' fave Léolo. TIFF ranked the 1992 movie as the fifth all-time best Canadian film but these podcasters are unsure about its reputation.
