It's our last installment of bMovies, and we're pulling out all the stops. Director of The Gift: The Journey of Johnny Cash, Thom Zimny, pops up to the studio and talks with Rachel about his experience making the film and the narratives in making a documentary. You can learn more about this artform at Thom's Masterclass, a very special workshop. And in the second half, 95bFM Programmer, Sarah Thomson, joins Rachel for some top tips on films to catch before the festival ends. With special mention to The Day Shall Come, don't miss out.

It's movies galore, Rachel reckons. And we're lucky enough to have Director, Tearepa Kahi, in studio to talk about Herbs: Songs of Freedom (2019) a very special tribute to an iconic Aotearoa band, Herbs. Tearepa chats to Rachel about the Director's role to listen and the amazing footage he found in the process of making this affectionate documentary. And, Steve Newall pops up to talk about his Flicks pick from the festival, High Life and the annual film quiz. 

bMovies is back! In Part One, Rachel chats to Simon Coldrick about By The Balls (2019), a documentary about some of the historic events in New Zealand's Rugby culture. And in Part Two, Amelia reviews You Don’t Nomi (2019) directed by Jeffrey McHale, another documentary style film, from the Incredibly Strange section of NZIFF that analyses the different thoughts of the cult film, Showgirls (1995). Get your tickets sorted as soon as possible, folks.

This week on bMovies, Director Eryn Wilson, joins us in studio to talk Dog's Best Friend. Talking about the harsh stories of these pup's pasts, Mikey's heart is warmed by the tales of our furry friends. And 95bFM's Viewmaster, Sam Sinnott, is back to review The Miseducation of Cameron Post, a topical and confronting depiction of teenagers searching for their truth. Sam sums up the film in two words. But no spoilers, please!
