Seven years ago today, I dropped the first episode of Someone Else’s Movie. Today, I’m releasing the podcast’s 384th episode, which is ridiculous and wonderful in equal measure. I had no idea where this thing would go, or even if anyone would listen to it, and it’s turned into the thing that I most enjoy doing.

If you’re a subscriber, thank you so much for indulging me. And if you’re a relative newcomer to the podcast but want to become a completist, it might interest you to learn that the first year of the show can be yours to download for just twenty Canadian dollars at payhip.com/semcast, ad-free and in glorious monaural sound. That’s 52 episodes in all, 46 of them no longer available to stream thanks to last year’s Simplecast server migration, featuring guests like Natalie Merchant, Nelson George, Scott Thompson, Faith Erin Hicks, Aaron Abrams, Ennis Esmer, Katie Boland, Kristian Bruun, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead and many, many more. (The full track listing is available on the site; go see who else you might have missed!)

And if you want to stick to the regular, free podcast, check out today’s episode features filmmaker Igor Drlja?a — whose new film The White Fortress screens tomorrow night at TIFF Bell Lightbox as part of the Canada’s Top Ten program — on Peter Watkins’ nightmarish and eerily prescient 1971 thriler Punishment Park, which imagines an America sliding gleefully towards fascism in a way that feels awfully convincing.

Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Play and Stitcher and get the episode immediately, or download it directly from the web. And really, think about catching up to the earlier episodes. There’s some great stuff in there, and you can also hear me figure out the best version of the podcast from one week to the next. That’s cool, right? I mean, I think it’s cool.

But really, thanks for listening.
