This week, the Kicking the Seat Podcast saddles up with David Fowlie of Keeping it Reel for a look at The Magnificent Seven! How does Antoine Fuqua's remake of a classic (which was also a remake of a classic) stack up to the original film? Only one of these critics is qualified to answer!
Also in this episode, they guys preview some of the films and featured programming for the 52nd Chicago International Film Festival, which returns to Chicago's AMC River East Theatre on October 13th. From musicals to mayhem, this year's CIFF promises to run the gamut of entertaining and insightful global filmmaking.
As if that's not enough, Ian talks about Olive Films' new Signature line of home videos, which debuted this week with extras-packed, 4k restorations of High Noon and Johnny Guitar. Lastly, Ian teases Monday's episode, in which he interviews legendary Italian composer Fabio Frizzi about his upcoming appearance at the Music Box Theatre. That's right, on October 6, Frizzi will conduct a live and expanded version of his score for Lucio Fulci's The Beyond right here in Chicago!
