On this episode we review a selection of films that were selected to air during the 2020 Hot Docs, the premiere Canadian documentary festival based out of Toronto. Unfortunately due to COVID-19, they had to pivot and offered screenings of their films to people at home, thus birthing Hot Docs at Home.
Nathan Sizemore and Katey Cottrill from the horror movie podcast I Hope You Suffer join the show to discuss Leap of Faith: William Friedkin on The Exorcist. Later on music fan Alex Burke comes on to discuss two music documentaries, Keyboard Fantasies: The Beverly Glenn-Copeland Story and Dark City Beneath the Beat.
Lastly Dakota does a solo review of In Your Eyes, I See My Country. While Hot Docs Festival Online ran from May 28 to June 6, over 120 films are still available to stream until June 24.
