Movie Review: To All The Boys: Always and Forever
This week on End Credits, it may be March, but we’re still in the mood for love. Our movie this week will take us back to high school and the difficult balancing act of school, romance, and the future. We’re reviewing To All the Boys: Always and Forever, and we’re also going to talk about another love affair, Hollywood’s love of affirmation through the awarding of gold statues.

Movie Review: Malcolm & Marie
This week on End Credits, get ready for mortal combat! Not the video game, or any ancillary products based on that franchise, but a verbal title bout between two great actors playing a romantic couple. This week we’re reviewing Malcolm & Marie on Netflix, the most honoured studio in this year’s Golden Globe nominations, which we will also be talking about.

Movie Review: The Best of 2020
This week on End Credits it’s the end… of the year! Maybe we shouldn’t joke about that. You know what else is not joke? The quality of the movies released in 2020! There was a lot of quality in terms of the new films released in the last calendar year, even though we say most of them on our TVs, tablets, laptops, and phones. As usual at this time of year, we will check our lists, check them twice, and give you our Top 5 of the Year!!

Movie Review: The Christmas Chronicles 2
This week on End Credits, get some corn for popping and tune in to CFRU for a Christmas-themed review. In this edition, we’re going to (maybe) celebrate the return of Cool Santa in The Christmas Chronicles 2, and in our decidedly not Christmas-related pre-game, we will run the series on a filmmaker we don’t talk about, and that’s the first and second rule!
