October 02, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour - 94 MBWe're back for our season 4 opener with some atomic celluloid in form of... THE TOXIC AVENGER.

July 07, 2023 02:49 - 1 hour - 48.5 MBIt's about time we look at some movies from the homeland with some appreciation and admiration. For those not in the know, have no fear, Can-Con is simply Canadian content, so we're starting what will be a yearly trek into the Northern film wilderness. We'll get weird. We'll get wild. I'll have a weird, sad tangent on my personal fears over the looming spectre of artificial intelligence. Films discussed include: Clearcut, Slash/Back, Viking, I Like Movies, Blackberry, The Dirties and Operati...

February 13, 2023 00:07 - 1 hour - 68.8 MBValentine's day is silly, but do you know what isn't silly? My Bloody Valentine! Make yourself a bed of roses and listen to find out whether Mitch has a cold, dead heart and hates this Canadian slasher classic.

Micro Hell: Demonic (2021)
June 26, 2022 19:03 - 56 minutes - 38.6 MBSadly, COVID has further delayed our season 3 opening episode, so we've pivoted and decided to cover a movie you've all been clambering for... DEMONIC.
