This week, The KtS Podcast presses "Pause" on summer blockbusters to discuss a modern family classic. Thats' right: no mutants, monsters, or "miracles" here. We're talking Paddington! Ian and Graham were blown away by Paul King's lush, live-action take on the big-hearted bear, and they go into why it stands out as true art in a sea of cynical, feature-length toy commercials.
Also, Ian shares some info on upcoming events at the Gene Siskel Film Center and the Music Box Theatre--including the fantastic Carroll Spinney documentary I Am Big Bird; the Argentinian meta-marvel, El Critico; and a special May 27th screening of UHF with "Weird Al" Yankovic and director Jay Levey in person!
Somehow, Episode 98 also manages a few jabs at JEM, some wishful thinking regarding Mad Max: Fury Road, and vulgarity that guarantees parents will not play this spoilerific chat during carpool!
