Annnnnd here’s a new episode just for you! We share some news announcements including upcoming tech, an album release, livestream show, casting, and a virtual film festival that’s opening with a film about a lovely group of dancing dudes from the Maritimes called The Bhangra Boys. One tidbit that surfaced has K SUPER stoked. There are a fair amount of streaming suggestions too, from a star-studded drama to a LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special (no no, not THAT one).
T reviews Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order as it showed up on Game Pass. Much to our chagrin, we continue to be unimpressed with season 2 of The Mandalorian, and share the whys of that. The Simon Says assignments had K sampling Mike Tyson Mysteries and T sharing his thoughts on the Good Omens limited series.
We tell you why psychologists think taking trips down pop culture memory lane is good for your mental health and take a little journey of our own back to the days of compilation CDs like Frosh and Big Shiny Tunes.
Our last segment is one of our most favourite, Hidden Treasures and Guilty Pleasures. T tells us why folk have been wrong to pan the sci-fi war film Battle: Los Angeles, and K talks about one of her favourite humorous novels (and novelists), a perfectly apt-for-the-season read, The Stupidest Angel by Christpher Moore.
One of the things we love to do most is to give independent artists a chance to share their work, and so we finish the recording off with Cevilain’s awesome cover of Miley Cyrus’ Midnight Sky (thanks guys!).
We hope you enjoy!

Fun and Gaming
The week is still newish and we have a shiny new episode for ya! We chat about some changes in the works for streaming services in Canada, share some entertainment news, diss The Mandalorian, and T chats about the new Xbox and Playstation consoles that are coming to all those fore-thinking pre-orderers out there. The pending series finale of Supernatural got us thinking about best and worst finales and we share some of our picks for both of those. Of course we also have a couple of streaming picks to recommend! The best bit though is our chat with the guys from FNS Gaming. It’s a popular thing these days to record your gaming adventures and post it for others to watch, and these two do it a bunch and we wanted to know WHY?! They’re a great pair of guys and gave some excellent reasons, so give us all a listen!

Problems With Hollywood Part 2: Risky Business
This week is one of those weeks where we invite you to our table, so to speak, while we have a conversation. There are always things about the entertainment industry that really grind our and the public’s gears. The lack of originality in Hollywood is definitely one of them. What happened to both production companies and A-listers taking risks? Where are the dark comedies that help us cope with the world around us? How do we go about finding the edgier stuff that most definitely exists but doesn’t get the promotion of the blockbusters? We banter about all this and more. Lend us your ears and feel free to lend us your thoughts!
Stick around at the end of the episode to hear Atoms to Ashes and their new single, "Break The Silence" from their EP "Blackburn" dropping in 2021
