Movie Review - Scare Package

This week's episode of End Credits Radio Adam and I review Shudder's new horror anthology Scare Package.

Does the horror comedy anthology go too meta, or just enough meta? Guess it depends on what you want out of your horror films!

Listen to the full episode at the End Credits Radio page.

Movie Review: The Decline

This week on End Credits, we’re kind of in a celebratory mood despite the pandemic. This week, we’re delivering our 150th episode, and we’re unofficially kicking off season four of the show. For this timely occasion, we have a timely movie, and it’s French-Canadian too. On this show, we’re going to review The Decline, and we’re also going to talk about what we’ve learned from the first 150 episodes of the show.

Movie Review: Blood Quantum

This week on End Credits, it’s time to get dead again! Just in time for the unofficial start of summer, we’ll review the new socially conscious zombie hit Blood Quantum, and, before that, we’ll finish up the list of the Top 40 Comic Book Movies of the Last 40 Years. Yup, this one’s going to be a nerdy episode.

Canned Con Cast 34 - Northern AM Gold

There is a new episode of the podcast I co-host with Anthony Marco, Canned Con Cast, available to stream or download.

It's been roughly 8 months since our last episode, because life happens. But we really reflect on why we started this podcast in the first place in this episode.

Also, note, I suggest to Anthony that he should listen to a specific song by the band Skylark, but I gave him the wrong song title. This is the one he and you should listen to (after listening to our episode!)

Mother's Day in Absentia

It will be a Mother's Day weekend to remember, and it's not because of the snow predicted to land in Southern Ontario over the weekend!
You can't take your mom out for dinner or to see a movie this year, but you can treat your mom to puzzles, games, books, and wine! Or a Psycho movie marathon if you've got that type of mom (Candice does!)
