I Play Rocky

And this one is about this stunt driver named Ken Carter who tried to jump the St. Lawrence River in a rocket car, a mile-long stretch.

And it's a true story, and they made a documentary about it for the NFB, and it's a cool movie.

But here he is just talking about how Canada really needs to start celebrating their own kind of interesting characters like Carter.

It's like everything that you want out of a story, right? And it checks all these boxes, and he is like an authentic local Montreal character that could have come...

From NDG.

Joining us from Toronto to talk about what they've seen and some of their favorites, Amy Nicholson, Los Angeles Times film critic and host of the podcast Unspooled, and Maureen Lee Linker, LAist film critic and freelance critic and journalist.

Let's start with I Play Rocky.

Amy, what do you think of this film? And just give us a little bit of a thumbnail of it.

Yeah, well, this is the latest film by Peter Farrelly, who film nerds might remember, won the People's Choice Award at TIFF back in 2018 for Green Book.

And that award took him all the way to winning Best Picture for Green Book.

Controversial win.

I play Rocky.

It played like gangbusters again at Toronto this year.

I can see Fjord like eight times before I go see Dune's Day.

Now, this next movie on our list... is called I Play Rocky.

And it is...

I'm actually very curious about it, but it feels similar to...

Yeah, I forgot what it stands for.

Crowd pleaser, I Play Rocky.

Broke Stallone trying to get cast in Rocky.
