The Movie Forecast: Hits, Misses, and Queer Favourites with Filmmaker Azzad Azman
This week, the table is set for a major film discussion! We’re thrilled to welcome the incredibly talented filmmaker Azzad Azman (@sploosh__) to the studio. There’s truly nowhere to hide when Azzad joins us to break down the hottest new releases and predict what you absolutely need to watch over the coming months.

But that’s not all! Azzad gives us an exclusive look into his current project, the short film he’s writing and directing, @beforeitgoesdown. Get the inside scoop on the inspiration, process, and vision behind his work.

Host @craigmbrown and Azzad Azman go head-to-head on the year’s best and worst in film, capping it off with a passionate discussion about their all-time queer film favourites.

It’s loud, it’s live, and it’s essential viewing (or listening)! Don’t miss this one.
