The Plot Twist: Recent Episodes
Everett Hanmer
The Plot Twist Podcast covers everything movies. We'll talk about things like anticipated movies, movie reviews, countdowns, awards season and more! If you like movies grab your popcorn and press play on the latest episode!
In this episode, we're covering the 95th Academy Awards. With his tuxedo on and hair done, Everett takes you through the biggest night in movies, including his 19/23 predictions and the Canadians who shone bright.
With a dominating seven wins, including five acting categories, Everything Everywhere All at Once was the talk of the night. But there were also other highlights, including Canadian Director Sarah Polley's win for best adapted screenplay for "Women Talking" and Brandon Fraser becoming the first Canadian to win the Best Actor category.
As well as recapping the night's winners and losers, we also share our thoughts on the impact of Everything Everywhere All at Once's success and whether it could signal a shift in the types of movies that the Academy recognizes. He also makes some way too early early predictions for the 2024 Oscars, highlighting A24's upcoming movie "Past Lives" and "Beau is Afraid," featuring Joaquin Phoenix.

As we gear up for the Academy Awards, we sit down with Canadian producer Ina Fichman to discuss the incredible documentary "Fire of Love" and its nomination for an Oscar in the feature documentary category.
In our conversation, Ina shares her journey with the film, including what drew her to the project, the challenges she faced during production, and the impact the film has had on audiences around the world.
We also discuss what it means to be nominated for an Academy Award, particularly as a Canadian filmmaker, and how Ina found out she was nominated (hint: it wasn't quite how you might think!). Along the way, we dive into Ina's upcoming projects, her approach to working with women in the industry, and much more.
Whether you're a fan of documentary filmmaking, a lover of great cinema, or simply curious about the creative process, this episode is not to be missed. Tune in now to hear Ina Fichman's incredible story and discover why "Fire of Love" is one of the most powerful and moving films of the year.
