Ep #24: Bonus Episode – TIFF Recap

In this special bonus episode of CoTR, we are joined by our friend Ty Landis who was at the Toronto International Film Festival with Seema. Ty regularly contributes articles and reviews to the Sound on Sight website and also maintains a film blog.

Seema and Ty talk about the films they got to watch and others they wish they had watched at the festival and in the process manage to put poor old man Jhon to sleep! Either that or Jhon really needs to explain all that heavy breathing we hear throughout!
