I Know That Face

Another year over, a new one just begun. But the movies don't stop and neither do we. We've debated, argued and fought and the I Know That Face crew have picked their personal top five of the year. From African-centred action to Korean mysteries and horrifying Hollywood blockbusters with a stop off in some of the best indie cinema had to offer, Andrew and Stephen break down 2022 and the films that made them laugh, made them cry and made them fall in love with movies all over again. See you in 2023!

This week's I Know That Face episode is a packed one, beginning with Andrew and Stephen looking at the career of a workhorse of an actor. Jun Kunimura hasn't taken a year off since 1991 and the effort shows in his work with Ridley Scott, Quentin Tarantino, John Woo, Takashi Miike, Takeshi Kitano and Na Hong-jin. Best known in the west as the beheaded Boss Tanaka in Kill Bill Vol. 1, the Japanese actor made his bones in lean and mean horrors and crime thrillers like Audition, Ichi the Killer, Outrage and Manhunt. Meanwhile, his most famous and well-rounded recent role as the mysterious Japanese stranger in the South Korean horror epic The Wailing won him the Best Supporting Actor and Popular Star awards at the Blue Dragon Awards, making him the first non-Korean to do so. Also in the episode, Stephen interviews director Sebastián Lelio about his new Irish-set mystery drama The Wonder starring Florence Pugh. It's out in Irish cinemas now before it will receive a Netflix release on 16 November.

Halloween is in full swing here on I Know That Face and this week, we are doing something a little different. Instead of talking about the career of a character actor, we're talking about an entire genre, well sub-genre, of horror movies. Beginning with The Blair Witch Project, Stephen and Andrew dive into found footage. Listen in for debates about more popular fare like Cloverfield and Paranormal Activity to unanimous agreement on Asian horrors like Noroi: The Curse, The Medium and Incantation.

I Know That Face returns! This week Andrew and Stephen discuss the King of weirdo character actors: Michael Wincott. Canadian by birth and an off-the-wall actor by choice, Wincott broke through in the likes of Oliver Stone's Talk Radio and 1991's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. His raspy, sensuous voice and dark, devilish smile made him an easy pick for villains like Top Dollar in The Crow, Philo Gant in Strange Days and Gary Soneji in Along Came A Spider. Always selective in his roles, Wincott became more choosy as the years went by appearing to go on hiatus after 2017. In 2022, he reappeared after a 5-year break in Jordan Peele's sci-fi horror blockbuster Nope as cryptic, disaffected cinematographer Antlers Holst.
