    52. Offside (with Edgardo Sepulveda)
    Jul 1 2022
    Fan favourite Edgardo Sepulveda returns to the podcast to discuss the 2006 Iranian soccer film "Offside" directed by legendary Iranian auteur Jafar Panahi. Starring non-professional actors, and shot on location in Tehran outside Azadi Stadium, during the real-life 2005 World Cup qualifier between Iran and Bahrain, "Offside" acts as a cinema-verite with its documentary-like feel.
    Edgardo and Rachael break down some of the main themes in the film, and offer a comparison to other female-focused soccer movies (Bend It Like Beckham).

    51. Bend it Like Beckham (with Shireen Ahmed)
    May 21 2022
    In the latest episode of "Lights, Camera, Gold", Rachael finally has her first female guest. This week, it is none other than CBC senior columnist, podcaster, and "Bend it Like Beckham" scholar, Shireen Ahmed. This week, in honour of the film's recent 20th anniversary, and the women's FA Cup Final on May 15th (featuring a member of the Canadian women's national team), Rachael and Shireen discuss the movie's legacy two decades later and if things really have changed for racialized women in sport, on screen, and behind the camera.


    Co- Written and Directed by Gurinder Chada, "Bend it Like Beckham" stars Keira Knightley (in her first film role), Parminder Nagra, and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, and Juliet Stevenson. The movie was an immediate box-office success, and, 20 years on, it remains the highest-grossing soccer-focused sports movie of all time.

    On the latest episode of "Lights, Camera, Gold", Rachael is by friend of the show Yuri Coghe for the fourth time, her first-four time guest. In this episode we discuss the soccer documentary "Next Goal Wins", about the American Samoa soccer team, considered the worst team in the world. American Samoa had lost every single game they played when the American-Dutch Thomas Rongen was hired by US Soccer in 2011 to try to help to team qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

    On the latest episode of "Lights, Camera, Gold", Rachael finishes her winter sports theme by reviewing the 1969 Robert Redford-led classic "Downhill Racer". Starring Redford, Gene Hackman and directed by sports-fanatic Michael Ritchie (the screenwriter for "Cool Runnings"), "Downhill Racer" was not a big hit at the time of its release, but has since gone on to be considered one of the greatest and most influential sports movies ever made.
