Movie Review: The Craft: Legacy
This week on End Credits we’ve got politics and magic! As the United States recovers from their election, we will take a look at the pop culture presidents we wish we had and the ones we’re glad we didn’t have. For the magic, we’ll be reviewing the new legacy sequel of a 90s classic about the self-described weirdos who made spells in school cool before Harry Potter.

A letter written on a cold dreary day
Why do we read? To get away, to learn, to watch other people without guilt. Why do we write?
Let's be honest, Steph and Candice come to no conclusions about these existential questions, but they try.

Movie Review: Vampires Vs The Bronx
This week on End Credits it’s Halloween week! Yes, the day itself is on Saturday, but it’s also Halloween week in show as we appropriately run the series on the movie series of the same name. Also, just in time for Halloween, we have an all-new horror-comedy to review that finally brings vampires, and the people of the Bronx, together in one film.

Spooktober
Halloween time has come around again... Steph and Candice take full advantage by chatting about spooky books and spooky tv shows.
We also discuss whether or not people should be reading stories about the downfall of humanity, whether it be from viruses or robots.

Movie Review: The Babysitter: Killer Queen
This week on End Credits we’re going to blind you with science, and then blind you with Satan! In terms of the former, we’re going to talk to a U of G professor with some expertise in the subject matter of the documentary we reviewed last week, and then, in this week’s review, we cross streams again with another horror comedy that features a Satanic cult.

Movie Review: Bill and Ted Face The Music
This week on End Credits, we have to face the music. Make that Bill and Ted Face the Music. The sequel almost 30 years in the making is the movie we’re reviewing this week, and we’ll see if it’s nostalgia or innovation for the win. Speaking of nostalgia, we will start a whole new series of listicles that will rank the entries in some of the greatest (?) franchises of all time.
We're baaaaaaaack!
After an accidental summer off from recording Steph and Candice are back, much like school and in-store shopping at The Bookshelf!
That's right the bookstore is open to the public 7 days a week from 11am - 6pm. But not to worry, they are still offering delivery, and if you know exactly what you want please consider ordering online for either delivery or pick-up and limiting the number of people browsing the stacks.
We are all in this together and doing what we can to support each other!
Books
The Tommyknockers by Stephen King
Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix
The Dark Half by Stephen King
The Wanderers by Chuck Wendig
The Stand by Stephen King
Well Read Black Girl by Glory Edim
Also follow the online book club Well Read Black Girl
Note - Candice is ashamed to have not been able to come up with the name of Maya Angelou on the spot while trying to remember who said "When you know better, you do better."
In consideration - the return of the Non-Fiction Book Club with a focus on relearning Canadian History.
