May’s week-long CCFF doubles as a shortlist for potential Golden Brick candidates.

Now in its 7th year, the Chicago Critics Film Festival prides itself on bringing the best of the fest circuit to Chicago. With 15 or so features that have played the likes of Toronto, Sundance and SXSW, the week-long fest is a chance for Chicago audiences to catch up with some of the most buzzed-about independent films of the year. It’s also a great chance for Adam and Josh to put some titles on their Golden Brick radar. They share their Top 5 Most Anticipated Films Playing CCFF and get additional insight into the fest from Chicago critic - and one of CCFF programmers - Steve Prokopy.

Also on the show: Adam on KNOCK DOWN THE HOUSE and the final film in the Stanley Donen Marathon, 1967’s TWO FOR THE ROAD. Plus “The Fizzies” - the Donen Marathon Awards.
