Brian sits down with filmmaker Maia Lekow about her film "The Letter," and the extraordinary and disturbing story her and husband Christopher King tell in it.

Brian interviews filmmaker Alexis Gambis about his film, "Son of Monarchs," which is available virtually at the 2021 Atlanta Film Festival.

In the first of what will be a regular series for the Sonic Cinema Podcast, myself and actor Timothy J. Cox look at three films that don't necessarily need to be seen for their greatness to be recognized. That idea will make more sense in the episode as we look at John Ford's "The Grapes of Wrath," Orson Welles's "Citizen Kane" and Michael Curtiz's "Casablanca."

I had the pleasure to talk to Oscar nominee Kris Bowers on "A Concerto is a Conversation," a documentary short which he co-directed, wrote the music to, and features him and his grandfather. Please excuse the audio the first couple of statements; it's worth getting through to hear the interview.

Last year marked the 10th anniversary of the death of the anime master Satoshi Kon. Listen to myself and my friend David Miles discuss his work, and the importance recognizing animators like we do live-action directors.

As the films of Wong Kar-Wai get ready for a massive box set via Criterion Collection, Brian invites filmmaker Christopher DiNunzio back onto the podcast to discuss the director's most famous film, his 2000 romance, "In the Mood for Love."

I welcome Jason from the Binge Movies Podcast to the show, and we have lengthy discussions on discussing cinema in the age of blogging and Twitter, and the nature of B-movies through the context of three films- "Trancers," "Leviathan" and "Popcorn."

Brian recaps his best and favorites from the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. Included are interviews with short film directors Julian Doan ("Raspberry") and Gregory Barnes ("The Touch of the Master's Hands").

In this episode, we continue to catch up with the "Class of 1999" series in a discussion of Anthony Minghella's elegant thriller. Joining me for this review is actor Timothy J. Cox.
