Summary

Coverage of the Fantasia Film Festival continues with a look at Hundreds of Beavers (2023). I talk with Mike Cheslik and Ryland Brickson Cole Tews (Lake Michigan Monster) about their latest film. Honestly, it may be the best movie I've seen so far in 2023. It's a low-budget black and white silent comedy that plays like a video game walkthrough.
