JFL42 Interview: Stand-up comic, improviser, and podcaster Greg Proops
Posted by: Andrew Lizotte // September 20, 2018 @ 9:04pm
If you were to ask me my biggest influences in comedy, at the top of the list would be Greg Proops. When I was young, he was there as a staple cast members of Whose Line is it Anyway?, but as I aged I discovered he's also one of the most apt social critics working in stand-up comedy today.
The UK is home to a plethora of comedy panel and game shows. From QI to Would I Lie to You? to Mock the Week -- and seemingly hundreds more -- there are so many opportunities to catch some of your favourite UK-based comics (with the occasional Canadian, American, or Aussie thrown in) regularly on tele.
JFL42 Interview: Stand-up comic and actress Maria Bamford
Posted by: Andrew Lizotte // September 18, 2018 @ 11:02am
Folks, it's the week of JFL42! Living in Toronto, this means I get to go to comedy "space camp" and interview some of my heroes. First up on that list of heroes is Maria Bamford.
The Weekend is a sharp romantic comedy that boasts a key component missing in most romcoms: it's funny. Like, really funny.
The film opens with aspiring comedian Zadie (Sasheer Zamada) performing a set at a small comedy club.
The legendary New York guitar shop that's the subject of Carmine Street Guitars is certainly worthy of a documentary, but coached dialogue and too-perfect camera blocking leave too much authenticity on the table.

Posted by: Sharilyn Johnson // September 11, 2018 @ 1:03pm
Ryan Gosling and the cast of First Man (along with Neil Armstrong's sons Mark and Eric Armstrong) arrive at Tuesday morning's press conference at the TIFF Bell Lightbox.
Based on the autobiographical books by journalist Bill Sheff (Steve Carell) and his son Nic Sheff (Timothée Chalamet), Beautiful Boy chronicles a teenage Nic's addiction to drugs, and his family's heartbreaking attempts to guide him through recovery. The film also stars Maura Tierney as Bill's wife, and Amy Ryan as his ex-wife.
Is this the type of frustration Lost viewers experienced?
In The Lie, teenager Kayla (Joey King) gets driven to ballet camp by her father Jay (Peter Sarsgaard). She spots her friend/frenemy Brittany - also headed to camp - waiting for a bus on the outskirts of town, and they pick her up.
Julia Roberts pulled double duty at this year's Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
