The latest Cinemaniax episode is now up. It’s now just an audio-only podcast, rather than video. This new episode is on the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival, and my guest is film critic Clara Cuccaro. We discuss our favorite films from the fest and more. Our picks include the following (I link to my review if it exists):
- Clarissa
- Fjord
- Josephine
- Tender Loving Care
- Trash Mountain
- Wild Wild East
After our conversation, we cut to excerpts from three interviews I conducted at TIFF this year: with The Hummingbird Paints Fragrant Songs directors Èlia Gasull Balada and Matteo Norzi; with Re/Pair director Lacey Schwartz Delgado; and with The Smell of Apples director John Trengove.
You can find the episode on YouTube or on Podbean.
