Our second (and final) pre-Season 3 bonus episode is now up, and you can listen to it on iTunes, SoundCloud and/or Stitcher, as well as on our Episodes page. The topic is the upcoming AFI DOCS festival, which runs June 13-17 (i.e., next week) in Washington, DC. We review Charm City, The Cold Blue, For the Birds and United We Fan, and discuss the festival, in general.
Last week, Hammer to Nail published four more articles of mine: a review of An Inconvenient Sequel, just released, but which I had previously seen at the recent AFI DOCS; an interview with its co-directors, Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk; a review of Menashe, also just released, which I had seen at the Washington Jewish Film Festival; and an interview with its director, Joshua Z. Weinstein, and star, Menashe Lustig (with both of whom I spoke by phone, hence no photo of the interview, above). In addition, Film Festival Today published my review of Atomic Blonde. Here are links to all five pieces:

Last week, Hammer to Nail published three more articles of mine: another review from the recent AFI DOCS festival, this time of ACORN and the Firestorm; an interview (also from AFI DOCS) with Stefan Avalos, director of Strad Style; and a review of Criterion’s new Blu-ray release of Cameraperson. In addition, Film Festival Today published my review of Dunkirk (I seem to be one of the rare film critics who did not adore the movie, though I liked parts of it). Here are links to all four pieces:

Over the past two weeks, Hammer to Nail published five reviews I wrote about films at the recent AFI DOCS festival, plus a review of Misconception, which was released in select theaters on June 24, and a review of the recent Criterion Collection release of Clouds of Sils Maria on Blu-ray. Here are links to those seven pieces:
