This month's episode of The Village Podcast

Movie Review - Cocaine Bear

This week on End Credits, we’re just saying “yes” to drugs. Well, we’re saying “yes” to movies about animals doing drugs and then attacking people. If you’re unsure based on this complete lack of subtlety, we’re reviewing Cocaine Bear, which may end up one day being a cult classic, but in case it doesn’t, we’ll suggest a few other movies that are already classics.

Read more and listen to the episode at End Credits Radio.

Movie Review: Knock At The Cabin

This week on End Credits, we’re back at the end of the world. Again. Our tour guide is M. Night Shyamalan, a man with many hits and many misses and not much in between. So is Knock at the Cabin one of the hits or is one of the misses? We will make that determination, and we will also talk about other entries from the Shyamalan canon that definitely qualify as hits.

It's not all movies... but it's a lot of movies!

Steph recommits herself to skiing, and Candice recommits herself to reading Stephen King novels. And they both get their 3 Laws of Robotics wrong, sorry Isaac Asimov!

Movie Review: The Menu

This week on End Credits, it’s time to eat! Although our show plays at mid-afternoon every Wednesday, perhaps you might enjoy a small snack while you listen because, this week, we’re going to make you hungry. Along with our review, which is about The Menu now streaming on Disney+, we will talk about some food-based movies to tease the palette.

Podcast Appearance: 78 Episodes, 30 Good Ones Episode 26

Superstar/Walter Koenig-stan Candice Lepage returns to dissect the fifth worst episode of ST:TOS and the fifth best (although Candice rates it #4). Disturbing male manipulation, the difference between "good scenery-chewing" and "bad scenery-chewing" and walls with no explanations! Plus, dinner parties from hell (I'm guessing brussel sprouts were served)
