The Toronto International Film Festival is one of the largest film festivals in North America.

It also has a reputation as a bit of a populist film festival.

Everything plays here from the art art films to big Hollywood movies.

That's why last month our friends Noel Murray and Scott Tobias headed out to Toronto

to check out some of the movies that are expected to remere this winter here in the United States.

I spoke to them from Toronto, late in the festival.

Gentlemen, welcome to the Sound of Young America.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks, yes.

So tell me about what makes Toronto different from, say, Kahn or Sundance or South by Southwest

or some of these other film festivals that people might be familiar with.
