End Credits #381 - March 5, 2025 (The Monkey) 56:03

πριν 2 μέρες56:03

56:03

This week on End Credits, we can't stop doing the monkey! Not the dance, but the movie of the same name that has been winning fans at cinemas all around the country these last couple of weeks. So yes, we're talking about The Monkey , and we're also going to be talking about the life and movies of another Hollywood icon! This Wednesday, March 5, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: For Gene. While the circumstances of his passing still has many unanswered questions, there's no doubt that Gene Hackman is one of the greatest actors ever to grace the silver screen. From The French Connection to Unforgiven to The Royal Tenenbaums , Hackman's legacy has been secured, and that's not bad for the guy his classmates at the Pasadena Playhouse called "least likely to succeed". To start this week, we honour Gene. REVIEW: The Monkey (2025). The Monkey represents a horror trifecta: It's based on a story by Stephen King, produced by James Wan, and directed by Longlegs filmmaker Osgood Perkins. Perkins' success last year with Longlegs established himself as cinematic stylist and he brings all his skills to bear on this story about a cursed toy monkey that brings a swift and terrible death to the people around it. But The Monkey is actually a comedy too, which is not always an easy needle to thread, so has Perkins delivered the blood and gut(buster)s?

GUELPH POLITICAST #460 - Now What? (feat. Diana Chan McNally) 45:12

45:12

Although housing and homelessness has been THE issue for the last few years, it feels like they didn’t make a dent in the recently completed provincial election. As the news obsessively tracks the tariff war and Doug Ford’s response to Donald Trump’s latest drama, the struggles of growing unaffordability and homelessness seems to have taken a back seat., So now that the election is over, does anyone in authority still care about these issues? Back in December, Premier Ford held a media event at Queen’s Park. In the company of several mayors he announced the Ontario Restoring Safety to Parks and Public Spaces Act, a bill that expanded police powers in dealing with encampments and offered stiffer penalties for people who repeatedly break trespass laws and use illegal drugs in public. But just before the election call there was a turnaround, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing said that maybe it wasn't needed after all. Not wanting to take chances, the Ontario Coalition for the Rights of Homeless People’s tried to rally the political parties to all make the same campaign promise: A clear public commitments against criminalizing homelessness. Three of the four major parties signed up in common cause, but guess which one did not. With a new four-year majority for the Ford government secured there are now a lot of questions about what will happen next on the homelessness file. There many questions to ask, and this week we're asking Diana Chan McNally, who is a community and crisis worker in Toronto and co-ordinator of the Ontario Coalition for the Rights of Homeless People. She will talk about her expectations before the election, how issues of poverty got overshadowed by tariffs, and her concerns about another attempt at criminalizing homelessness. She will also discuss what the action plan is now, and why the next fight with the provincial government will be through municipalities. So let's talk about where we go no on this week's Guelph Politicast! You can learn more about The Ontario Coalition for the Rights of Homeless People at their website . You can follow her on social media on Twitter and Blue Sky and you find links to her activism, op-eds and other work at Link Tree . At present there’s no word on when the legislature will return or when and if the government will table the Ontario Restoring Safety to Parks and Public Spaces Act again.

This week on End Credits, we're heading back into the wild! Things always get pretty wild when it comes to Oscar-season as one team of PR flacks tries to 86 the other, but things also get wild on an uninhabited island where even robots can enjoy a world without rules! On this show, we're reviewing The Wild Robot and we will talk about the Oscars! This Wednesday, February 26, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Not An Oscars Ballot. The 97th annual Academy Awards will be given out this Sunday live from Hollywood. Who will win? We'll get to that. Emilia Pérez has the most nominations, but not many fans among cinephiles who would much rather see honours go to Brady Corbet and The Brutalist or Sean Baker and Anora . To start this pre-Oscars show, we will lay out the ones we think will win the show, and the one's that should win. REVIEW: The Wild Robot (2024). Speaking of the Oscars, the movie we're reviewing this week is nominated for one. The Wild Robot debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival last September, and then it had long legs in theatres even long after it was released on premium VOD. Why? That's what we wanted to find out so this week we check out The Wild Robot , which you can now stream on Prime Video, to see how this Oscar-nominated film hit a nerve and maybe if it will hit our nerves too.

GUELPH POLITICAST #459 – This Slushy Election (feat. Scotty Hertz) 49:54

πριν 11 μέρες49:54

49:54

It’s been four weeks since Doug Ford asked the Lieutenant-Governor to dissolve the legislature and it really hasn’t felt like anything has changed. Now, we will go to the polls on Thursday to decide who will form the provincial government for the next four years and despite all the issues, it feels like it’s still going to be the people who’ve run it for the last seven years. So what have we missed this election? Early voting last weekend registered a six per cent voter turnout across Ontario. Not great. Accessibility activists have noted that this winter campaign generally, and the last week of wicked weather specifically, have thrown up big barriers to participation for anyone that’s not able bodied, and wasn’t that the point? It sure seems like it was and the impact has been pretty visibly felt: How many election events have you been to? Out of the campaign trail it’s been rough going. The two likely successors to Doug Ford - Marit Stiles and Bonnie Crombie - have been straining to get attention. The Greens, led by Guelph MPP Mike Schreiner, have been pragmatic: They will not form a government, but they might be able to secure a few extra seats. And as for the big man himself he’s been playing fast and loose with election rules, and going back and forth as candidate and premier. Now, there's 24 hours left till Election Day. What will happen? Scotty Hertz, co-host every week on Open Sources Guelph, appears today for a pre-game show. We will talk about what six per cent early voter turnout means, the ins and outs of winter campaigning, and why this didn’t end up being a change election. We will also talk about the leaders’ campaign, the various party strategies, and why Ford’s been allowed to slide on all the domestic failures while failing in Washington on trade. Also what questions do we have going into our election night coverage? So let's get into this election that almost was on this week's Guelph Politicast! This Thursday, February 27, we will be going live to air for results and analysis starting at 8 pm on CFRU 93.3 fm or cfru.ca . For the interviews with the candidates running in the ridings of Guelph and Welligton-Halton Hills, you can check out previous episodes on this feed.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we go mega! On this super-sized edition of the show, the last one before Election Day and the episode that opens three days of advanced polling, we will profile the three candidates we haven't covered yet. From the long-time campaigner running for the governing party, to an upstart trying to rebuild a Liberal stronghold, and a new face for a new party! This Thursday, February 20, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Be Coole. You may not know Robert Coole, but he's been doing politics in Guelph for a long-time as a reliable and seasoned campaigner for local Conservatives, but now, he's in the spotlight as the PC Party candidate in this provincial election. Coole will join us to talk about why Guelph needs a voice in the next PC government, and why he's taking the spotlight after years of playing in politics behind the scenes. Mustafa: The Liberal Candidate. There are a lot of young people running for the Ontario Liberals, and Mustafa Zuberi is one of them. Pretty well established in local politics thanks to his years running the Young Liberals at the University of Guelph, Zuberi now aims to be the next MPP from this riding and part of a Bonnie Crombie government. He will tell us why the Liberals are ready to run Ontario again. If the Blue Fits... Just when it looked like there would be no emerging party candidates running in Guelph this election, we get the arrival of Carina Fraser. The author and single mother is running for New Blue, which, as the name implies, is an alternative to the PCs aiming to collect the ones turned off by Doug Ford and not willing to bank on one of the other major parties. Fraser will tells us why you shouldn't sleep on the New Blue. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.…

WELLINGTON-HALTON HILLS POLITICAST #458 – Runnin' Up That Hilson (feat. Alex Hilson) 35:41

πριν 15 μέρες35:41

35:41

According to the latest polls, the governing PCs might be in minority government territory, and the spoiler might be a revitalized Liberal Party. In Wellington-Halton Hills it will be a big climb because while this seat is open, the Liberals finished fourth in a close race for second in 2022. Is there the possibility that without Ted Arnott on the ballot that voters might be willing to take a closer look at the man from Acton? When he was last elected in 2022, Arnott won more votes than the NDP, Greens, Liberals, and New Blue combined. Incumbency has its advantages, but so does longevity. How many people in Wellington-Halton Hills were voting for Arnott out of sheer habit? For 34 years at the Ontario legislature, Ted Arnott was always there. In fact, for some people living in Halton Hills and some parts of Wellington, Ted Arnott is the only MPP they’ve ever known Alex Hilson is one of those people. It’s interesting to note that two of the people running to replace Arnott are Halton Hills councillors. Hilson represents Ward 1 in Acton, and has been running a pretty solid social media campaign during this election. He's a people person, as his background working with youth and the Acton BIA might imply, but will the people be willing to take a chance on him as part of a new Liberal dynasty? Hilson join us to answer that question and more. He will talk about his background, why youth matters right now in Halton Hills politics, and how his experience as a city councillor informed his desire to run for provincial office. We will also talk about the Liberal comeback under Bonnie Crombie, and what the Liberals need to do in order to earn the trust of the electorate again. Plus what issues is Hilson personally concerned about? So let's talk about a Liberal comeback on this episode of the Wellington-Halton Hills Politicast! You can learn more about Alex Hilson and his campaign at this website . For the interviews with the candidates running in the riding of Guelph this provincial election, you can check out Open Sources Guelph. Election Days is this Thursday, February 27, and we will be going live to air with the CFRU News Team that night with election results and analysis starting at 8 pm on CFRU 93.3 fm or cfru.ca.

This week on End Credits, we find an America we're glad to call "Captain". Hey, we know that the United States is having its issues right now (and if you don't there's a show for that), but one them isn't finding a new Captain America! This week, we will enter a Brave New World , and we also talk about the fine art of starting over. This Wednesday, February 19, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Mike Ashkewe will discuss: Remake, Reboot and Requel. Although it's not technically a reboot, it's pretty safe to look at Captain America: Brave New World as chance to restart a long-running franchise that's been struggling in recent years. This is not a new trend because Hollywood studios love their franchises, and when the audiences don't respond, that's when they pull out all the stops to get the series back on track. To start, we'll talk about our favourite do-overs! Captain America: Brave New World (2025). When we last left the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Deadpool and Wolverine met and fought (and fought). But don't expect a lot of in-jokes and jocularity with Captain America: Brave New World , the first featuring Anthony Mackie as the title character, and the first of three new Marvel efforts this year. But this new Cap isn't getting an easy start with threats of war, a conspiracy, and a president with a secret, but can Captain America beat his worst adversary of all: The Critics?

WELLINGTON-HALTON HILLS POLITICAST #457 - Green For the Bron-Win?! (feat. Bronwynne Wilton) 38:02

πριν 18 μέρες38:02

38:02

In 2022, the three major Ontario opposition parties finished very closely together in Wellington-Halton Hills with the Liberals finishing 804 votes short of the second place NDP, and 82 votes short of the third place Greens. It shouldn’t be much of a surprise then that the Green Party of Ontario sees Wellington-Halton Hills as prime target for an upset this election, but can the party be that upsetting with so much on the line? If you follow Mike Schreiner’s campaign schedule, you will note that he’s oscillating between four different ridings: Guelph (obviously), Kitchener-Centre, Parry Sound-Muskoka, and, as you might have guessed, Wellington-Halton Hills. Whether the Green Party can win this riding will largely depend on their candidate, and in this case it’s a councillor from the literal and figurative centre of Wellington-Halton Hills. Wilton was first elected to Centre Wellington council in 2022 after growing up in the area, going to the University of Guelph and starting her own business in Fergus. She’s one of three municipal councillors in this race, which might speak to an inherent frustration with our political system. So what happens if the Green Party makes a breakthrough here? What does it mean if the voters there reject over three decades of PC control? Those are just a couple of the questions that Wilton will answer on this week’s podcast. She will also talk about why she wanted to run for provincial office, why she’s running for the Green Party, and why Schreiner is so confident that the odds are in her favour. She will also talk about why the environment needs to be a bigger issue, what the Ford government’s impact on rural Ontarians has been, and whether she agrees with Schreiner's assertion that Doug Ford has not made rural Ontario a priority. So let's talk about going Green on this episode of the Wellington-Halton Hills Politicast! You can learn more about Bronwynne Wilton and her campaign at her campaign website or the Green Party website . We will be cranking out another episode of the Wellington-Halton Hills Politicast this weekend, and, as you’re waiting, keep in mind that advanced voting is on February 20 through 22 and you can find out where to go at elections.on.ca .

Open Sources Guelph #506 - February 13, 2025 56:39

πριν 20 μέρες56:39

56:39

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're not feeling the love. One day before Valentine's Day, we will dive into some of the biggest news of the day including a crazy person's plans for one of the most volatile regions on the planet. Back here at home, there's some concern about post-secondary spending, which is a provincial jurisdiction and that reminds us: We have an other election candidate to talk to! This Thursday, February 13, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: "We'll Own It." All quiet on the western front? Hardly. While the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is holding, it hasn't been easy and there have been some new wrinkles. Specifically, it's Donald Trump's threat to seize Gaza and turn it into the "Riviera of the Middle East", which he reiterated this week in front of the King of Jordan (who couldn't get out of the White House fast enough). So should we be worried about Trump's threats, or is it just another distraction? College-Level Economics. The new cap on international students is having an impact on Ontario's colleges with several now actively talking about deficits, job cuts and the elimination of programs. Some may blame these institutions for relying too much on the unrestricted tuition fees from students outside Canada, but this is also the result of the Ontario government's systemic underfunding over the last several years. With the election now halfway done, is it time to really talk about post-secondary finances? Spence For Hire. The NDP are Ontario's official opposition, or, to put it another way, the government in waiting. Cameron Spence has also been waiting. He's one of millions of Ontarians who have been struggling in the current economy and have dealt with the housing crisis first hand, and now he wants to do something about it as Guelph's next MPP. We will talk to Spence about his non-political path to this election, and why Guelph should reject its current representative and take a flyer on an NDP-led legislature. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.…

WELLINGTON-HALTON HILLS POLITICAST #456 - A Vote for Consensus (feat. Ron Patava) 38:01

πριν 22 μέρες38:01

38:01

There are seven people running in Wellington-Halton Hills, but only one of them is a party leader. If you’re looking at this election and are thinking to yourself that it’s pretty messed up that the premier can just call an election 16 months early and in the midst of several intermingling crisis, and that there should be a better way, then you might be the type of voter that Ron Patava and Consensus Party is looking for. Patava has previously been a guest on this podcast. He ran in Wellington-Halton Hills as one of a dozen Consensus candidates around Ontario, but in between then and now he has risen through the ranks to the leadership of Consensus. Not that Consensus is really focused on leadership, or course. It's meant to be a stirring call to have " a decision-making structure that involves and takes into account as broad a range of opinions as possible." Patava learned from this 2022 campaign: It’s not enough to be about building a new system, it’s about trying to do more to promote the types of change people are looking for everyday. As you will hear in this interview, he’s got three policy ideas in addition to creating a new consensus-based government. It’s compelling and slightly outside the box thinking, but even in an open riding like Wellington-Halton Hills, can a candidate like Patava get ahead? He’s going to talk about that, how he was elevated to the role of leader, and whether or not the last few years at Queen’s Park have proved him right when it comes to needing a new way of doing government business. He will also tells us again about how a consensus government model would work, what he can do for the riding as a one man band, and why voters should take a flyer on him in this moment where a 34-year incumbent has left the field. So let's build consensus on this edition of the Wellington-Halton Hills Politicast! You can learn more about the Consensus Party and his candidacy at their website . We will be cranking out another episode of the Wellington-Halton Hills Politicast this weekend, and, as you’re waiting, keep in mind that advanced voting is on February 20 through 22 and you can find out where to go at elections.on.ca .

Our topic will accompany the star of that film who once appeared in another more famous movie! This Wednesday, February 12, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Goonies Never Stay 'Unemployed'! The movie we're reviewing this week features Ke Huy Quan, who was one of the young cast members of a movie called The Goonies , which turns 40 years old this year. Many of the cast members are still working in the business, and they've all starred in some very interesting and distinctive projects. To begin this week's show, we will talk about some of those other efforts since Goonies are still employable! REVIEW: Love Hurts (2025). Ke Huy Quan was a successful actor when he was a kid, but as an adult he made a living in the industry as a fight choreographer before making a big comeback with Everything Everywhere All at Once . Quan combines both worlds in Love Hurts , a new film from 87North, makers of the John Wick films, which follows a former hit man who gets sucked back into his old life on Valentine's Day when his unrequited love (played by Ariana DeBose) returns.

WELLINGTON-HALTON HILLS POLITICAST #455 - Yes She Kent! (feat. Simone Kent) 33:28

In some respects, Wellington-Halton Hills is the riding to watch this year because, for the first time in three decades. it’s competitive. Ted Arnott announced that he would not be seeking re-election at the end of the last term, and while the PC Party would like to hold on to this one, opportunity is knocking for the other major parties. Today, Ontario's official opposition will make their case for the riding next door! Of the four major party candidates in Wellington-Halton Hills, only one of them is not presently a politician with a municipal council. Between those four, there’s also an even split between candidates representing the urban side of the riding, and the more rural parts. Simone Kent is the from the rural side, and she's the one major party candidate who's not presently in a political office, but that's not to say that she doesn't keep busy. Kent has a unique resume being both a dairy farmer and an education worker. She’s stayed active in organizations like Centre Wellington’s environmental committee and Jersey Ontario, a non-profit association for Jersey cow owners and breeders. Farming, education, the environment, grassroots organizing: that’s about as good as it gets for a resume for an NDP candidate, but what does Kent think of the issues, and what does she want to do as the first MPP in nearly 35 years whose not Ted Arnott? We will get an answer to that and other questions on this week’s edition of the podcast as Kent talks about why she’s running and being the only major party candidate not already in politics. She will also talk about what an NDP-led Ontario government will do for Ontarians, and what kind of premier Marit Stiles would be. Also, she will discuss, whether Doug Ford has been ignoring Ontario’s farmers, and the issues she wants to put front and centre in these last two weeks of this very truncated campaign. So let's dig into the NDP case on this edition of the Wellington-Halton Hills Politicast! You can learn more about the Ontario NDP, their candidates, and their platform at the party's website .

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're trying to project calm. It was a long weekend as we waited for a certain Florida Man who was inexplicably re-elected as President of the United States to blow up our economy, and we can't even avail ourselves of healthcare because that's in a terrible position in Ontario. So, what can we do to fix this? Our guest this week has some ideas and he wants you to elect him again to put them in action! This Thursday, February 6, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Trade in Full. It was, as Shakespeare said, a tale of sound and fury signifying nothing. After announcing on Saturday that he would impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canada and Mexico, U.S. President Donald Trump relented on Monday afternoon after both countries, essentially, promised to do things that they were already doing. Now, we're under a 30-day reprieve and who knows what happens then, even Donald Trump. So what happens when February ends? Sick? Oh. So there's an election right now, maybe you heard about it. There's a lot of back-and-forth on the campaign trail about what political parties want to do about healthcare, about we don't want to talk about policy, we want to talk about the extent of the problem. With hospitals under financial pressure, suffering a desperate need for more people and more facilities, and the growing spread of privatisation, we will talk about what healthcare in Ontario looks like and what it needs beyond platitudes. Still Like Mike? Getting back to the candidates, we will start our interviews with Guelph candidates this week with a familiar face. Green Party of Ontario leader Mike Schreiner is the incumbent in Guelph having won the last elections, and it seems to be a foregone conclusion that he will win again. Still, Schreiner says he wants to fight for it, and make sure that Guelphites really want to send him back to Queen's Park, and maybe with some more Green peeps by his side(?). Schreiner will tell us how he intends to make all that happen. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.…
