It's another instalment in the Director's Chair series, where each host gets to take the show in whichever direction they'd like for 15-20 minutes.

They start with a listener request and discuss their respective favourite Quentin Tarantino films (2:39). They then get into Elijah's segment, where they take parts from many different films to make their very own, perfect 'Franken-Movie' (10:05). For Mike's segment, they guess if films are real based on the film synopses (32:36), and Maddy's segment leaves them ranking some classic musicals (as well as some absolute stinkers) (47:56).

Hosts: Elijah Rae, Mike Klassen, Maddy Richard, and Dalton Pike

Welcome to the Movie Stock Market!

How does it work? We'll explain: Each player is given 100 shares to invest in 5 movies releasing between January 23, 2026, and June 26, 2026.

How is the value of shares determined? Each million made at the domestic box office, and each percentage on the film's Metacritic score adds a dollar to the share valuation.

Tune in to hear Elijah, Maddy, Mike, and Dalton invest in the future of film, and see whose portfolio looks the best!

Outside The Frame is sponsoring a special screening of Lady Snowblood on January 9, 2025, at Hyland Cinema! To honour this (very bloody) occasion, Elijah, Mike, Dalton, and Maddy sit down to discuss Lady Snowblood--the very influential 1973 Japanese revenge flick. They discuss their individual experiences with the film and how well it's aged over the past five decades (3:20). Afterwards, we discuss one of the biggest talking points surrounding this movie: the influence it had on Quentin Tarantino's 2003 film Kill Bill, from the very specific to the more broad interpretations.

One thing is for sure: this movie is one you want to see on a big screen! To buy your tickets now, head over to https://www.hylandcinema.com/movie/lady-snowblood
