Today, The Kicking the Seat Podcast and writer/director Sujewa Ekanayake are joined by actor/filmmaker Amir Motlagh for a freewheeling look at "cinema". From Amir's tales of navigating the indie-film and commercial worlds; to an update on Sujewa's latest movie Slow Romance; and, of course, Martin Scorsese's recent comments about what does and does not constitute "cinema", no topic is off limits.
This is the audio companion to Monday's YouTube video. But as an exclusive to the podcast, Ian discovers Charlie Chaplin, and heartily recommends The Criterion Collection's recent Blu-ray release of the Tramp's silent-era send-off, The Circus!
