End Credits Show Notes for Thursday November 30, 2017

On this week’s End Credits, we take a break from our usual format to do something just as conventional: Christmas movies! You know you like to complain about their syrupy sweetness, but you just can’t help yourself, you love them anyway, right?! From elderly misers, to LA cops, to sorority sister under threat, to beleaguered bankers, to the greatest story ever told, there’s probably going to be something here to suit everyone’s taste. So start the chestnuts roasting, grab a glass of eggnog, and sit around the crackling radio for some old-timey, and post-modern, Christmas goodness!  Continue reading “End Credits Show Notes for Thursday November 30, 2017” →

End Credits Show Notes for Thursday November 23, 2017

This week, we’re shaking things up on End Credits. No, not with the content of our review, of course, as we’re reviewing another comic book movie (our fourth since starting this show), but we’ve done a couple of unusual things this week. First, we have a guest host who’s specifically being brought in to use her expertise on the movie of the week, and second, we have an interview with a local musician who’s getting ready for a special movie-centric event this weekend.

End Credits Show Notes for Thursday November 16, 2017

If you make this much news on End Credits in a week, you must be the Walt Disney Company. There are a lot concerns with Disney this week, they’re banning journalists, contemplating corporate takeovers, and creating new trilogies, and in-between, the fallout of Hollywood sex abuse scandals continues as not only is old work banned, but upcoming works now as well. All that, plus a remake of a well-known murder mystery featuring one of the most famous detectives of all time… Continue reading “End Credits Show Notes for Thursday November 16, 2017” →

End Credits Show Notes for Thursday November 9, 2017

End Credits is back! After a needed break, we’re back to business as unusual as we mark the release of one of the biggest films of the year, the latest film featuring your favourite hammer-wielding superhero. Before that though we have to slog through a week of sad news including more allegations of sex abuse in Hollywood, and a feud behind the scenes of one of your favourite franchises. But good news is here too because, apparently, video stores are making a comeback! Continue reading “End Credits Show Notes for Thursday November 9, 2017” →

End Credits Show Notes for Thursday October 26, 2017

A couple of weeks ago, End Credits covered the documentary An Inconvenient Sequel, which featured Al Gore on his continuing quest to solve climate change. If only he had known that several weeks later the solution would present itself in Geostorm. Okay, so “solution” may be the wrong word, especially since it predictably all goes wrong, like another movie that came out last weekend, The Snowman. We’ll talk about that movie’s director and his self-sabotage, the latest on the industry from a fan-favourite director, and how we might get a cool new animated vision of an old superhero movie idea.

End Credits Show Notes for Thursday October 19, 2017

The title “End Credits” takes on special significance this week, as a particular movie mogul seems to be seeing the end of his career. We’ll talk about the story that’s transcending the film world and forcing sober discussion on the pervasiveness of powerful men forcing themselves on women. In more pleasant news, we’ll then nerd out about the latest Star Wars trailer, and talk about the simple joys of Noah Baumbach’s newest film.  Continue reading “End Credits Show Notes for Thursday October 19, 2017” →

End Credits Show Notes for Thursday October 12, 2017

This week’s panel on End Credits has seen things you people wouldn’t believe… We have not seen attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, and we haven’t watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate, but we did watch Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 back-to-back. We’ll look at the lessons we learned from what is arguably Ridley Scott’s greatest film, and how they apply to Denis Villeneuve’s audacious follow-up that dares to go where no filmmaker has gone before. Or is that another franchise? Continue reading “End Credits Show Notes for Thursday October 12, 2017” →

End Credits Show Notes for Thursday October 5, 2017

The impossible is finally happening this week on End Credits. For instance, we’ll review a Tom Cruise movie where everyone’s favourite self-serve stuntman finds himself in a role where he’s not on cruise control (pun intended). In the news, a certain sequel series finally begins production, although the jury’s still out for cynics as to whether or not we’ll ever see it, and Netflix may be home to the new Beachcombers, or a similarly appropriate piece of TV Canadiana. Finally, more bad news if you’re hoping that we’ve finally reached the bottom of the harassment barrel.  Continue reading “End Credits Show Notes for Thursday October 5, 2017” →

End Credits Show Notes for Thursday September 28, 2017

This week on End Credits, we tackle our first documentary review. Now one could argue that we go to the movies to escape real-life issues, but documentaries do very well going into the issues we don’t see on the news, and deeper into the issues that we do see. To wit, this week we review the sequel to An Inconvenient Truth to learn whether or not we’ve solved climate change, and how much we owe its resolution to Al Gore. Before that though, the crew will review some of their favourite docs of all time (or right now).  Continue reading “End Credits Show Notes for Thursday September 28, 2017” →

End Credits Show Notes for Wednesday September 20, 2017

This week on End Credits we’re getting oblique and mysterious with plenty of disturbing imagery. We’re reviewing the latest Darren Aronofsky movie, which features a mysterious exclamation point for some reason, and we’re talking the latest movie news including bad bloggers, unpopular choices to direct Star Wars, and a franchise that never seems to end no matter how much we want it to. All that, plus one of our panelists comes back to the show to tell us what he’s been up to lately. (It’s TIFF related!) Continue reading “End Credits Show Notes for Wednesday September 20, 2017” →
