Sunburn

I was like, "Oh, no." But everybody knew, and everybody was okay with it, and I was like, I really just like that there's this, um, this push for, like, more healthy, uh, masculinity in movies and, like, friendships, uh, 'cause you see it in another movie that was really good that I don't think I'll mention.

Uh, Sunburn kinda had the s- similar vibe, not, like, with the gay thing, but just kind of, like, friendships between, between young men and, uh, how vulnerable they're willing to be now, which I think is important to show on screen, so I'm glad that that, like, wasn't the direction the story ended up going in.

That was just like, oh, no, that's just a, that's just a fact.

That's just, you know, who he is.

So that was definitely interesting.

Um, yeah.

I also wanted to mention Sunburn really quick.

I forgot to mention Sunburn.

All right.

It's just a hangout movie.

That's fun.

Love that.

You were in the same ballpark, and it's about them kind of, uh, grappling with his dementia.

Right.

But it's mostly a hangout movie.

Sure.

I'll let you talk about Resident Evil.

So we all saw Sunburn together, but I'll save that for later because spoiler that will be in my best of and then that same day i saw the assassins were the s's and brackets um it was it was fine like it's i don't know I'm also trying to...

I know what you mean now.

Like, I'm trying to remember some of these movies, and some of them are, like, such a blur.

Yes.

And the characters were gay.

But yeah, Sunburn was just a...

That

Later on the program, we're going to breaking down our favorites in a bunch of different categories and talking about what our top film picks were.

We're also going to be doing a review of the movie Sunburn, which played as part of both the Centerpiece and Next Wave Select programs at TIFF this year.

And in just a few minutes, we're going to be talking with...

Well, the winner of the most recent Geek Hour Guest of the Year Award, Ryan Allen, he's back on the program to talk about the TIFF film he was in called Being Human, which actually opened TIFF this year.

I'm like, you know what? Let's call it.

That's fair.

Well, let's get into our review of Sunburn, which was a TIFF selection for this year, written and directed by Seville Publite.

P-O-B-L-E-T-E. Poblet? I think just Poblet.

I'll let you talk about Resident Evil.

So we all saw Sunburn together, but I'll save that for later because spoiler that will be in my best of and then that same day i saw the assassins were the s's and brackets um it was it was fine like it's i don't know I'm also trying to...

I know what you mean now.

Like, I'm trying to remember some of these movies, and some of them are, like, such a blur.

Yes.

And I'm like, I could have went to that movie, but I kind of like shrugged my shoulders on it.

Like Serv, the guy that I interviewed for Sunburn, he was like, oh, I'm really interested in watching this movie called Club Kid.

I think it seems really interesting.

And after he told me that, I was like, oh, no, I think I'm just going to go home after that.

Yeah.

And then for Infinitely Dense, he was the actor and then also the producer of that film.

And then Serv was the director and the writer of Sunburn.

So I got to interview both of them.

type of award for Canadians as well.

And then what was the other one that won? Oh, Sunburn, which is the best Canadian feature, first feature film by a Canadian, which is about the blackout that happened here in Toronto way back when, I think it was 2004.

and sort of like what was sort of like Toronto-like there in that blackout from a perspective of these three sort of young friends.

So it was quite an interesting film as well.
