It has finally arrived! Vancouver’s largest film festival (and also one of the largest in the world), kicks off tonight with an Opening Gala screening of John Crowley’s Brooklyn (trailer) which has been breaking hearts all over the festival circuit the last few weeks. Following that gala, VIFF will soldier along with two weeks of movies including festival favourites from the past year, a wide ranging selection of docs, a splatter of genre films and a fully loaded program of both Canadian and locally made films.

With so much to choose from, I enlisted the help of After the Credits sometimes-Festival Correspondent and The Green Screen of Death co-host Bill Harris (@soundjam69), to chat about some of the movies we’re looking forward to, along with weighing in on a couple of festival movies we’ve already seen.

And bonus: we share some quick thoughts (more like unabashed praise) for The Martian (trailer).

The Vancouver International Film Festival runs September 24 to October 9. For full listing of films and tickets, visit the official website.

For up-to-the-moment updates from the festival, be sure to follow us on twitter. Bill is at @soundjam69 and I’m at @themarina.

Someone made the mistake of asking what we watched the month before and Colleen, Dale (Letterboxd) and I (Letterboxd) figured rather than tack this onto the regular podcast, we’d just give you a little bonus show in the middle of the month.

The idea was for this to be a 10 minute bonus episode but it quickly got out of hand, mostly because there was so much to cover. We promise that next time we’ll try harder to keep it short. No guarantees.

Other stuff mentioned on the show:

August feels like a bit of a slow month but perhaps the fact we’re missing one of our regulars might have something to do with it. Coleen was out taking photos of geisers and stuff in Iceland (more on that upon her return) but Dale (Letterboxd) and I (Letterboxd) managed to pull ourselves together to record this show. On the road no less! And I take all blame for it being a few days late. My bad.

Other stuff mentioned on the show:

My interview with the awesome Kevin Durand!

The summer is now in full swing but where are the summer blockbusters? It seems that the year’s biggest titles have pretty much come and gone but that doesn’t mean all the summer fun is gone – it just means that summer fun looks a little different; a little more mature and more of a mix of arthouse and blockbuster. Colleen, Dale (Letterboxd) and I (Letterboxd) are dig into the July bag of movies and emerge with a few notables.

Now that Mad Max: Fury Road (review) has come and gone, it feels like someone’s taken all the air out of the summer. What’s left? To help keep us on the ball, this month Colleen, Dale (Letterboxd) and I (Letterboxd) are joined by special guest Sarah B (Twitter) to help energize the show and it works… we do manage to get a little excited about a couple of the movies. Not many, but a few.

Is it December yet?
