On the latest episode of Someone Else’s Movie, I welcome actor, writer and producer Ruth Goodwin — who’s finishing up a run of The Wolves at Streetcar Crowsnest in Toronto this week, and who’ll be joining the cast of Private Eyes when it returns for its third season later this winter.
She’s a very nice person, and she picked a movie that lines up nicely with her current interest: Gurinder Chadha’s Bend It Like Beckham, the 2002 culture-clash sleeper that paired Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley as teenage pals on a girls’ football squad, and rode the wave of Bollywood-inflected Western cinema at exactly the right time. (Also, we consider the current state of cross-culture cinema with a digression about Little Italy.)
You know the drill: Subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Google Play and Stitcher, stream it on Spotify or download the episode straight from the web. And chill out! Not everything has to be about horror movies this month.
(Oh, but if you’re in Toronto and looking for something creepy to watch tonight, Justin Decloux’ Impossible Horror is having its Blu-ray launch party at The Royal. Friend of the show, and all that.)
