It's not every day you can have a coherent conversation on topics ranging from "Seoul-crushing" monsters to daytime vampires and a movie about making a movie, but Up To Date's film critics manage to pull it off. Today, they review a very wide array of indie, foreign, and documentary cinema, including Graduation, The Transfiguration, After the Storm, The Lost City of Z, Cézanne et Moi, Free Fire, Their Finest, Tommy's Honour, Colossal, and T2 Trainspotting. They also remember the career of Jonathan Demme, the Academy Award-winning director behind The Silence of the Lambs, who died on Wednesday.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
