End Credits - April 29, 2020 (Satanic Panic)

05/01/20 • 55 min

This week on End Credits, we're going to engage in some light Satanism, and by light we mean "lighthearted" because the first name in comedy everyone thinks of is the Devil. So we're going to check out Satanic Panic, which is now streaming on Shudder, and we're also going to kick off a new multi-part list that will keep you coming back for more (hopefully).

This Wednesday, April 29, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss:

The Top 40 Comic Book Movies of the Last 40 years PART1. In 1978, Superman the Movie was released in theatres everywhere, and since then everyone's chased that big box office money from superhero movies. For the next four weeks, we're going to countdown the 40 greatest of the genre in the last 40 (or make that 42 years). This week, we're doing 31 to 40.

REVIEW: Satanic Panic (2019). There was, of course, a real Satanic panic in the 1980s, but it turned out to be just as fake as the events in this new horror/comedy of the same name. In Satanic Panic, a young pizza delivery girl accidentally comes upon a Satanic ritual and has to spend her night trying to evade the affluent and evil group of suburban Satanists before she becomes a human sacrifice. It's funnier than it sounds.

End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 2 pm.

GUELPH POLITICAST #219 - Better Days

As we’re entering this third calendar month under a state of quarantine, we're starting to feel that it still might be a long time until we get back to what we consider normalcy. It might be a long time before we can sit comfortably again in a room filled with a few hundred people to hear the city’s mayor talk about a grand ambition for Guelph that has nothing to do with responding to a global pandemic.

So let us pause this week to remember what we’re fighting to get back to, let us a take a minute to reorient ourselves to a world without fear of COVID-19. This week on the podcast, we're going to replay the 2020 State of the City address from Mayor Cam Guthrie, which was delivered on February 7 at the Delta Hotel and Conference Centre on Stone Road in an annual event hosted by the Guelph Chamber of Commerce.

The State of the City is part update about current events at city hall, and it’s part wishlist on the part of the mayor as he or she talks about what they want to do for the next year. It’s a victory lap, and a declaration of intent, but there's also the breakfast event around it, which gives city leaders a chance to meet, chat and network. It’s a perfectly innocuous little event, but because it involves a political speech by the mayor, we give it a lot of attention in the media, and in the community.

So let's once again hear the mayor’s pre-pandemic vision for the city, which includes keeping operating fees under control, creating a free transit option for young people, and starting an initiative to create car-free downtown. You will also hear about what the mayor calls a message of hope, and what the City has done to try and address the growing gap in inequality between the haves and have nots. Mayor Guthrie also talked about the clashes between cities and the Province, the tricky balancing act with the budget, and then he answered a few questions from the crowd.

Let's go back to a pre-COVID-19 world and the State of the City on this week's Guelph Politicast!

City council will be returning to some kind of regular order in the next few weeks; the agenda for May 11’s special meeting will be published later this week. You can also revisit Guelph Politico's original coverage of this year's State of the City here.

The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean. Find more episodes of the Politicast here, or download them on your favourite podcast app at iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, and Spotify.

Also, when you subscribe to the Guelph Politicast channel and you will also get an episode of Open Sources Guelph every Monday, and an episode of End Credits every Friday.

Open Sources Guelph - April 30, 2020

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're going looking for some answers. Is the Ontario government making the right moves in responding to COVID-19? Does the leader of the Liberal Party have any better answers than the ones coming out of the government? And where in the world is Kim Jong Un? We're going to do some investigating, or rather, as much investigating as we can in quarantine.

This Thursday, April 30, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:

Sufficient Proposal. Premier Doug Ford announced his government's plan to re-open the province in a gradual and responsible way with the feedback of public health officials, all that was missing was a timeline. Meanwhile in Quebec, the government there is looking to open schools two weeks from now even though over half of all COVID cases in Canada are in that province. Is Ontario moving too slow, and is Quebec moving too fast?

Kim Jong Un-dead. There's a lot of uncertainty in the world right now thanks to COVID-19, but the biggest uncertainty in foreign relations presently is the mystery absence of Kim Jong Un. The leader of North Korea has not been seen in public for nearly a month, and the rumour mill's been churning about whether or not the Dear Leader is dead or almost dead. So how do we know what's going on in North Korea, and why should we be concerned?

Steven Unrehearsed. He was elected the Liberal leader right before everybody got quarantined, but Steven Del Duca has been trying to keep up with the rapidly changing situation around COVID-19 like the rest us. This week, we will talk to Del Duca about his own ideas about what the Provincial government needs to do to respond, his first month on the job, and what the future of politics might look like on a social distant campaign trail.

Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
