Now that ‘The Chair Company’ Season 1 has come to an end, catch up on more Tim Robinson cringe with ‘Friendship’!

TIFF 2024: Friendship - Loose Lips
‘Friendship’ plays like an extended ‘I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson’ sketch, with a lot of hilarity and layered vulnerability.

Loose Lips has allowed me many opportunities to meet people I’ve admired since I was a kid. Another legend it’s gifted me is the iconic Alex Winter, who was gracious enough to spare his time for a proper (virtual) one-on-one interview.

I keep coming back to ‘Thunder Road’ because there’s so much to say about it! Especially that it has the greatest opening scene of all time!

I didn’t see as many films as I would’ve liked to this #TIFF instead opting for some time-consuming talks and red carpets.

I also found that many of the films were extra long this year, making it extremely difficult to hit up all the ones I wanted to in one day.

Lee Byung-hun’s performance is one of the funniest, most empathetic, frustrating, and glorious of the year.

There were lots of good moments, and I captured a few, but Ryan Reynolds discovering he was being live-captioned and then messing with the captioner was my favourite.

The irony (and tragedy) of not being able to go see Michael J. Fox & Christopher Lloyd at Fan Expo because I already have tickets to Back to the Future the Musical. 🤦🏻‍♀️
