Remake World

In this episode of Hello Movies, we take a peek at some brand new films that shine a light on the different kinds of hiding we humans do. John Krasinski shares his unique directorial and writerly perspective on hiding from those creepy giant spider things in A Quiet Place II, while director Jeff Barnaby talks about putting an Indigenous spin on the age-old practice of hiding from zombies in Blood Quantum. And let's not forget Mulan, who hid from an entire army simply by putting on pants! Plus you won't want to miss the expert analysis of the week's upcoming theatrical releases. After all, what better place to hide from the real world for a few hours than a visit to some alternate universes? See you there!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hiding in Plain Sight: A Quiet Place II, Blood Quantum, Mulan

Host Natasha Gargiulo talks with Ben Affleck about his role in The Way Back, where he plays a basketball coach haunted by addiction and past trauma. Cineplex magazine Editor Marni Weisz brings the lowdown on Onward, the latest animation from Pixar, where two teens go on a fantastic quest to recapture the memory of their dad. And scientist Dominic Walliman (from YouTube’s Domain of Science) explains the theory behind Bloodshot, where Vin Diesel plays a resuscitated nanotechnology-enhanced super soldier who goes on a revenge mission when he finally remembers who was behind his death. Memory plays a role in all 3 of the films we’re focusing on this week — so don’t forget to listen!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Memories and March Break: Onward and Bloodshot

Host Natasha Gargiulo speaks with Alexandra West from the Faculty of Horror Podcast about all things horror: an innovative studio's take on a classic TV show with Blumhouse's Fantasy Island, the intelligent and super suspenseful sci-fi thriller The Invisible Man, and the return of the creepy haunted doll in Brahms: The Boy II. Plus, join Marni Weisz, Editor, Cineplex Magazine, for an auditory romp through the terrifying terrain of horror soundtracks.  Hold onto your popcorn -- there's bound to be a few jump-scares!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Horror of Horror: Blumhouse's Fantasy Island, The Invisible Man, and Brahms: The Boy II

For Valentine's Day, we look at two very different types of date movies. With The Photograph, Canadian director Stella Meghie tells the tale of a daughter, played by Issa Rae, trying to understand her mother's early life. Along the way, Rae's character begins falling in love with a young journalist, portrayed by LaKeith Stanfield.  In Downhill, the married couple played by Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus question what love looks like when children are involved - and after tragedy almost strikes. Podcaster Kevin McCarthy and film critic Lauren Veneziani -- married film buffs -- detail what they love most about a movie theatre date night, and host Natasha Gargiulo even has a sweet love story that centres on, you guessed it, a movie theatre.
