Did you wake up early this morning expecting a new End Credits? Sorry, but we have a new home for the summer, and it’s Thursday mornings at 10 am! To celebrate we’re going to meditate on creativity and talk about how being creative sometimes gets you fired, especially when you’re working on a Star Wars movie, and we’ll also talk about how you’re nothing now without an extended universe. Along with that we’ll consider if its possible to win an Oscar for playing an ape, and to show there’s creativity left in the world, we’ll rave about a new car chase movie.

End Credits Show Notes for Wednesday June 28, 2017
On this week’s edition of End Credits we mix up the format. For the first half of the show, to mark a very special occasion, we will dive into Canadian cinema and pick a few titles any Canadian cinephile worth their salt should definitely check out. In the second half of the show, we’ll talk about a movie that’s an assault on good taste, or at the very least severely damages it.

End Credits Show Notes for Wednesday June 21, 2017
Now typically there’s no swearing on CFRU, but this week on End Credits we’re going to have to talk about swearing. Yippee ki yay, Mr. Falcon! This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps on a Monday-to-Friday plane!!! And after we talk about clean versions of certain movies, we’ll get into another mess: What do you do/say/think when a favourite actor or celebrity goes to court? And speaking of court, would you still put the director of a bad movie on trial 20 years later? Even if he was sorry? All that, and a review of a wonderful new Canadian film on this week’s show.

End Credits Show Notes for Wednesday June 14, 2017
This week’s episode of End Credits goes on Cruise control. I know. Sorry, it had to be said. Before getting into the latest Mummy movie, we’ll also talk about Tom Cruise’s other pet franchise in the making, a sequel to a film more than three decades old and is very much a victim of its time. We also talk about Canadians behaving badly by smack talking their own remakes, and whether a return to allegorical apartheid in sci-fi form is in the offing.

End Credits Show Notes for Wednesday June 7, 2017
This is it! The first episode of End Credits! Every week in this space, we, a small but dedicated group of local movie lovers, will talk about some of the latest news items from the realm of pop culture and review a recent cinematic offering. This week, we have concerns. We have concerns about using soured fruit to rate the quality of a film, about the portrayal of women in movies (even the prestigious ones), and about men’s rights wackos getting scared of women enjoying a movie without them. All this, and a journey back to World War I with a warrior princess, on this week’s inaugural show! Continue reading “End Credits Show Notes for Wednesday June 7, 2017”
