‘Cinema Toast’ Is An Odd, Absurd Pandemic-Era Diversion [Review]

One of the more interesting pandemic-era film narratives to emerge, Jeff Baena’s Showtime series “Cinema Toast,” reconditions classic film footage from the public domain, overlaying new dialogue and situations to create new hybrid shorts, landing somewhere between “Mystery Science 3000” and the early 2000s show “MXC.” Produced by The Duplass Brothers, and featuring a host of famous indie directors – including Baena, Alex Ross Perry, David Lowery, Kris Rey, Aubrey Plaza, among others – “Cinema Toast” is fascinating, but oftentimes hit or miss, as each episode wildly careens through interests, genres, and even forms with decidedly mixed results and no episode-to-episode continuity.

Kris Rey and Gillian Jacobs Interview

Kris Rey and Gillian Jacobs make for a formidable duo in Rey’s latest film “I Used to Go Here.” A film about a woman in her early 30’s being asked to speak at her alma mater, the film explores the idea of difficult dreams and what if’s while also offering a realistic look at nostalgia and personal growth. Rey is best known for her 2015 feature “Unexpected” while Jacobs, who is excellent in the film, is known for her roles in series comedies such as cult favorite “Community” and “Love.” Our critic said of the film “It’s a bit like “Young Adult,” but instead of acid, Rey offers warmth and hope.” We got to speak to both Rey and Jacobs about the film and about playing messy roles and writing complicated character dynamics.
