That reminds me of...

A giant brain, masturbating bog zombies, and G7 leaders led by a German Cate Blanchett. What's not to like? Baron questions the Doc about the strange little MIFF film, Rumours, directed by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson.

00:00 Introduction

Baron and the Doc take a break from the mainstream to discuss a contemplative little film by Audrey Lam, starring Umi Ishihara and Xiao Deng and shot over 10 years on 16mm film. It's more artsy than either of our hosts, but they enjoyed it!

00:00 - Introduction

Baron and the Doc are at Melbourne International Film Festival 2024, and have just seen the highly anticipated film, A Different Man, starring Sebastian Stan, Renate Reinsve and Adam Pearson, written and directed by Aaron Schimberg.

This film is a wild ride. Check out what the boys have to say about it straight out of the theatre.
