Contra Zoom

 

Contra Zoom is a movie discussion podcast hosted by Dakota Arsenault and Rachel Ho. Each week, the topic is different, ranging from their series reviewing every release by the studio A24 to film festival coverage to big movie nerd news like the CBC’s 50 Greatest Films directed by Canadians or the most recent Sight & Sound Poll results. I have been a guest multiple times on the show and I enjoy it every time!
