We can almost see the finish line! Two episodes left before we hit a full year of previews!

We recorded this a week earlier than usual and the list of movies was a bit light at the time though as noted by Colleen (adead.horse), Dale (Letterboxd) and I (Letterboxd), awards season seems to be slow in starting this month but does kick off this with a number of awards bate offerings including the TIFF audience winner, a movie which, shockingly, we are all interested in seeing.

Yes, there is gleeful cheer at the mere thought of the Whister Film Festival which is only a few short weeks away! And we also sing the praises of local coffee shop Roastmastir’s.

The end is here. Almost.

The Vancouver International Film Festival wrapped with The Incident but festival correspondent, and Green Screen of Death podcast co-host, Bill Harris (@soundjam69), Lisa (making her grand reappearance 2 years after her podcast debut) and I recorded a rambly, 2am post-midnight film wrap show in which we count down our best and worst of the fest and sing the praises of “Altered States” programmer Curtis Woloschuk (@CurtisWoloschuk) who, in 2 short years, has made the program unmissable.

After the Credits Episode 155: September Preview

Posted on by Marina

It’s clear that festival season is almost upon us. Just look at the mix of middle brow thrillers and last year’s festival titles opening this month. It’s like the leftover month. Yet, Colleen, Dale (Letterboxd) and I (Letterboxd) manage to find a few titles that look appealing. Hopefully a few of them will open wide enough that we’ll get a chance to see them.

After the Credits Episode 154: Producer Adam Saunders Talks About Alex

Posted on by Marina

Last week I had the chance to speak with Adam Saunders, the actor-turned-producer of About Alex (review) and the CEO of Footprint Features, a young production company with a couple of movies under its belt and a few more due in the next year.

Adam was very forthcoming and we chatted about the struggles of producing movies outside the big studio system, the difficulties of balancing vision with finance and how he became involved in Jesse Zwick’s directorial debut.

About Alex opens theatrically and is available on VOD Friday, August 8th.

After the Credits Episode 153: August Preview

Posted on by Marina

Due to some minor technical difficulties (namely my printer being a piece of crap that spews out pages in no particular order), the order of the movie titles in the show are a bit out of whack this month but Colleen, Dale (Letterboxd) and I (Letterboxd) manage to get through the entire month. And it was a long one.

We almost gave up in the middle but pushed ahead after chocolate cookies. Said cookies may have impaired my judgment as I chatter crap about a Sin City movie that hasn’t come out yet. Oops.

Other things of note this episode:
– Open Culture’s Five Rules of Film Noir
– WTF Podcast – Marc Maron talks with Gabriel Iglesias
– Alexandre Aja on Bret Easton Ellis podcast
– Eli Roth on Nerdist podcast

After the Credits Episode 152: July Preview

Posted on by Marina

This month’s show includes a little more rambling than usual but then, that’s what happens when you stay up too late watching TV.

Any who. Colleen, now with the ability to own a gun, joins Dale (Letterboxd) and I (Letterboxd) as we look ahead to July, the month so far this year to have the largest number of releases in a single week. Seriously.

And on a side not, if you’re as in love with the new Shins song as I am (I will neither confirm nor deny that for the last week I’ve been listening to this song on repeat for an hour every afternoon), you may also stumble into our bonus content which includes us talking about “Dune” and awesome “Dune” tattoos (among other things like Colleen singing the lyrics to her new song “Pet Meth”). LIKE THIS AWESOME THING!!
