Moody Movies: Hamnet (2025)

In The Mood For Change

Moody Movies: RoboCop (1987), If I Had Legs I’d Kick You (2025), My Neighbor Totoro (1988), Zodiac Killer Project (2025), Alberta Number One (2024), Bugonia (2025).

Kylie and Elliott announce a change before talking about the movies they watched. Along the way, they navigate the complexity of loving a movie that the audience sees as a different movie, become stressed out by a perfectly crafted messy woman movie, gush about a masterful animated film, are quietly blown away by an unique documentary, love watching their province on film as their province (and having the space to reflect on what they love and hate about this place called home), and close off a marathon movie day with a bananas movie that sticks the landing (at least for us).

Unconventional Period Piece Syllabus with Lily Kazimiera

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 09:00:00 GMT

Moody Movies: Andrei Rublev (1966), Orlando (1992), Transit (2018), Chess of the Wind (1976), La Bête (2024), Babyteeth (2020).

Kylie and Elliott are joined by Lily Kazimiera—a Toronto-based, Alberta-born picture editor, actor, writer, and filmmaker— for an Unconventional Period Piece Syllabus. The three start with an interrogation on genre, why period pieces connect or do not connect for each of them. In turning to the six films curated by Lily, they consider what it means to create art in times of destruction, consider the fluidity of self in a sumptuous film, feel the radical content and impeccable setting of a miracle movie, get walloped by capital C choices, feel the terror deep in their bones, and consider why messy, human movies often act as emotional exfoliants.

Guest information:

Lily Kazimiera is a Toronto-based, Alberta-born picture editor, actor, writer, and filmmaker, best known as a series lead and contributing writer on the Canadian Screen Award-winning CBC Gem series "I Hate People, People Hate Me." She primarily works as a film editor and Assistant Picture Editor under the Director’s Guild of Ontario. In her spare time, she is active on Letterboxd and her Substack page, “Intakes”, and serves as a founding member of Queer In Post, an organization that provides career development and community-building resources to established and aspiring 2SLGBTQIA+ workers across all areas of Canadian post-production. She is currently editing her first feature film, “Waves/’Amwaj” written and directed by queer Palestinian-Canadian filmmaker Fateema Al-Hamaydeh Miller.

Jason Lee Is Doing Kickflips In Our Hearts

Thu, 30 May 2024 08:00:23 GMT

Welcome to Bad Dad Rad Dad, where Kylie and Elliott talk about the movies they watch each week while searching for better cinematic dads. Along the way, they continue their unabashed Kevin Smith love, appreciate the changes in a remake, reflect on how complicated it is to be human, cry through a truly perfect movie, and try to understand the nostalgia love for a film that just doesn't do it for them.

This week’s movies are: Mallrats (1995), Night of the Living Dead (1990), Evil Does Not Exist (2023), Minari (2021), and Speed Racer (2008).
