This week, Katey, Patches and David are here to debate the merits of Ryan Adam's cover of Taylor Swift's 1989 album and how this cover album should be followed by a Mandy Moore cover album of Katey Perry. Then: The Emmys were this week and unlike the Oscars, the Emmys are an award show of streaks. What's up with the award chaining. Finally, inspired by Johnny Depp's turn as Whitey Bulger in Black Mass, the gang talks about how performances have been helped and hurt by prosthetic work.

This week, Katey, Patches and David are in Toronto. Katey skipped a party to record, Patches has been there about a week, David has been there about three hours, but has pre-screened some awesome films and is fresh off Telluride. Da7e sits out the week because it's a late-night stream of consciousness podcast about all the movies of the next half year and which are worthwhile. Get out your notepads, it's time for the 2015 TIFF podcast! 45 Years! Anomalisa! Emma Watson! The Martian!
