Episode 212: Joan Micklin Silver (feat. Marya Gates & Bill Ackerman)

<p>For this episode I recruited two terrific and talented film writers and commentators especially since two of the movies we talk about happen to be all-time favorites for the both of them. Guest co-host and Supporting Characters host Bill Ackerman returns as well as Chicago film critic <a href= "https://twitter.com/oldfilmsflicker">Marya Gates</a> for a delightful discussion on the work of <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Micklin_Silver" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joan Micklin Silver</a>. </p> <p>She's responsible for a number of excellent films including HESTER STREET, CHILLY SCENES OF WINTER, BETWEEN THE LINES, CROSSING DELANCEY and so much more! Thanks to this episode I have a new favorite romantic comedy to add to my list so I'm grateful for my guests for bringing their A-game to this conversation and please do follow their work as well as discover Joan Micklin Silver's films in any form possible!<br /> <br /> We also briefly preview the upcoming <a href= "https://www.chicagocriticsfilmfestival.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Chicago Critics Film Festival</a>! Stay tuned next month for a lot to come featuring both Bill Ackerman and former co-host Patrick Ripoll.
