Classic Movies Live Season 6, Episode 15 – Fantasia Film Festival
July 23, 2025
This week, Jeff takes the show on the road!
Jeff and festival correspondent Robert are in Montreal for the first week of the 29th Fantasia Film Festival! Featuring a range of films from all over the world, Fantasia has more than established itself as the go to festival in Canada for horror, anime, and lower-budget indies you might not see anywhere else!
It’s also a major festival early into film festival season, and as such often hosts North American premieres of major summer blockbusters and Cannes titles. This year is no different, with the festival’s opening night featuring the incredible one-two punch of Eddington and The Smurfs!
Robert and Jeff went to both and sat down afterwards to talk about the good, the bad, and the smurf of it all!
In today’s show, you’ll also hear about the most-anticipated festival titles from Pedro Lima (of Contra Zoom Pod, Movies We Texted About, and Keith Loves Movies), Dakota Arsenault (of Contra Zoom Pod), and rach (of Contra Zoom Pod).
But that’s not all! Bryan Loomis from the What a Picture Podcast calls in to talk about a great movie he’s seen at Fantasia, as does Calvin Kemph from The Twin Geeks!
The gang’s aall here on this week’s episode to talk about Classic Movies… Live!
