Movie Review: If Not Now, When?
This week on End Credits is all about living vicariously. Let us enjoy a long summer’s day where life is pandemic-free and hanging out with some new friends in the relationship drama If Not Now, When? Before that, we will talk about the week’s movie news where there’s a lot of talk about with new projects being worked on, and how only some of them are likely to come true.

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!

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.
