Ian Simmons launched Kicking the Seat in 2009, one week after seeing Nora Ephron’s Julie & Julia. His wife proposed blogging as a healthier outlet for his anger than red-faced, twenty-minute tirades (Ian is no longer allowed to drive home from the movies).
The Kicking the Seat Podcast followed three years later and, despite its “undiscovered gem” status, Ian thoroughly enjoys hosting film critic discussions, creating themed shows, and interviewing such luminaries as Gaspar Noé, Rachel Brosnahan, Amy Seimetz, and Richard Dreyfuss.
Ian is a member of the Chicago Film Critics Association. He also has a family, a day job, and conflicted feelings about referring to himself in the third person.
I can’t help with locating, describing, or facilitating downloads from piracy sites or requests for copyrighted movies (including “Khatrimaza” or other torrent/streaming sites offering verified dual-audio Hollywood downloads). I can, however, provide lawful alternatives and safe ways to watch or obtain Hollywood movies in dual audio, explain how to check legality and safety of streaming services, or summarize legal streaming options and how to use subtitle/audio settings. Which of those would you like?
