Next week: back on track as the guys discuss Mr. Turner. Ques...
Borat
May 23, 2022 04:01 - 1 hourThe humour train continues as the guys talk about the ICONIC comedy Borat. Can they pinpoint all the points in history when people embraced the film, rejected it and then embraced it again after enough time had passed? What exactly IS a humour coach? Isn't it quaint how these shocking reactions from people are viewed in the world of 2006? Are the nice people actually nice or just very convinced that foreign visitors know absolutely nothing about customs? All this and more! Next week: time t...
Four Lions
May 16, 2022 04:01 - 1 hourThis week, the guys go the dark recesses of what you can get away with in comedy with a discussion of Chris Morris' satirical Four Lions.

Look, this is as close as we are going to get to an updated BFI Top 100, okay? To start off, they discuss the Tomas Alfredson-directed espionage thriller Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy starring Gary Oldman.

Away From Her
April 11, 2022 04:01 - 1 hourOne more Canuck Puck for the road!

Porky's
April 04, 2022 04:01 - 1 hourBefore they move back to the realm of British, Brendan and Jason decide to talk about a "Canuck Puck," a Canadian film pick from each of them that they have never seen before... and it's Brendan's turn first - Porky's. Yes, it's the Floridian Canadian classic from director Bob Clark that answers the question "can something that ages this horribly still be funny?" with... well, you'll have to listen to find out. Kim Cattrall's committed howling performance, super horny "teenagers," washroom pe...
Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner (#1)
March 28, 2022 04:01 - 1 hourHere it is - according to TIFF, the #1 Canadian movie of all-time - Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner. The guys break it down and discuss lots o' stuff including the fact that this is a landmark movie made entirely by an all-Inuit cast and crew.

PLUS: the guys re...
Mon Oncle Antoine (#2)
March 21, 2022 04:01 - 1 hourGetting close to the top of the list, the guys go deep into a discussion of the #2 film on the list - Mon Oncle Antoine - directed by the #1 most controversial filmmaker on the list, Claude Jutra. Aside from the film itself, the life of Mr. Jutra is briefly discussed, particularly his later years and tarnished legacy but they also discuss the asbestos mines of Quebec, how the film deals with its young protagonist losing their innocence, the implication that Carmen may have been abused by her ...
The Sweet Hereafter (#3)
March 14, 2022 04:01 - 1 hourThis week, the guys have their most focused and on-topic discussion yet when they discuss Atom Egoyan's masterpiece The Sweet Hereafter. They talk about their misconceptions before watching the film which were based on reputation and Oscar nominations, Egoyan's use of a fractured narrative and very selective plot details, Sarah Polley's real life informing her ability to reach certain emotional and maturity peaks at such a young age, the plot tying into the Pied Piper of Hamelin and much, muc...
Jesus of Montreal (#4)
March 07, 2022 05:01 - 1 hourThis week, the guys talk all about a film about the good lord above... kinda. It's #4 on the Top 10 Canadian Films list - Jesus of Montreal. They talk about Denys Arcand's personal stance on religion and if he sees the film as a religious tale, the similarities between the main character and the story of Jesus, the cinematic representation of the play-within-the-movie, criticisms of the Canadian healthcare system and much more. Next week: the guys discuss #3 on the list - The Sweet Hereafte...
Leolo (#5)
February 28, 2022 05:01 - 1 hourThe show is A HOUSE DIVIDED this week as one of the guys did not care for this film as much as the other one! The film in question? The late Jean-Claude Lauzon's coming-of-age opus dipped in LSD - Leolo. The guys debate the film's focus or lack thereof, they wonder if the disturbing moments are borderline-exploitative or not, they debate the casting of a very prominent Quebec Separatist despite the director claiming that the film has no political opinion and much more including a very importa...
Goin' Down the Road (#6)
February 21, 2022 05:01 - 1 hourIt's time for some Maritime shine as the guys break down the classic 1970 rags-to-rags (?) story about two Nova Scotians traveling to Toronto for the promise of better work - Goin' Down the Road. How authentically Maritime is this movie? Did director Donald Shebib use authentic transients and war veterans for key scenes? Does Jayne Eastwood make a seemingly thankless role worth something just based on her facial reactions alone? Does the movie have an anti-Capitalist stance? Plus: IF ANYONE H...
Dead Ringers (#7)
February 14, 2022 05:01 - 1 hourThis week, the guys talk about a movie featuring TWO Jeremy Ironses - that's right, it's #7 on the list, Dead Ringers. Many topics are discussed such as the subtle differences in both of Irons' performances, the surprising lack of gore but strong colour design that may act as a substitution, the real-life twin gynecologists on which the movie is based, the Canadian touches Cronenberg adds to this Hollywood film and much more. Also: do British people call it pop or soda? TELL US! Next week: ...
C.R.A.Z.Y. (#8)
February 07, 2022 05:01 - 1 hourThis week, the guys discuss the breakout family drama/coming-of-age film by the gone-way-too-soon Jean-Marc Vallee - C.R.A.Z.Y. The guys discuss the movie avoiding the typical 'dysfunctional family' and 'bad father' plot tropes, Vallee spending 10% of the budget on the soundtrack alone and how it's utilized, the implied psychic link between mother and son, the significance of the title and much more. Next week: Brendan and Jason talk all things Cronenberg with #7 - Dead Ringers. Questions?...
My Winnipeg (#9)
January 31, 2022 05:01 - 1 hourThis week, the guys move on to #9 on the Top 10 Canadian Films list and enter the surreal, dreamlike world of Guy Maddin with My Winnipeg. This is definitely the strangest film that has ever been reviewed on this podcast by far but the guys buckle down and talk all about it including: the very similar themes to last week's movie, the casting of Guy Maddin's "mother," the silent-film aesthetic, the art of telling tall tales and much more. Next week: Brendan and Jason discuss #8 - the late Je...
Stories We Tell (#10)
January 24, 2022 05:01 - 1 hourThis week, the guys watch the OTHER movie listed at #10 on the Toronto International Film Festival Top 10 Canadian films - the Sarah Polley-directed documentary Stories We Tell. Can a documentary truly ever be 100% objective? How badass is Sarah Polley and how great is she at structuring a film?! Does the movie using recreated Super 8 footage prove to be effective or not? And how about her non-intrusive interviews? They discuss all this and much, MUCH more within this landmark film. Next we...
Les Ordres (#10)
January 17, 2022 05:01 - 1 hourIn the very first installment of Our Screen, Our Country, the guys start from the bottom of the list and look at #10 - Michel Brault's haunting, neorealistic Les Ordres, a film that takes a critical look at a very troubling time in Canadian history. Jason takes us on a history lesson through Quebec politics in the 1970s, they talk about using black-and-white combined with colour film to achieve a certain tone, they analyze the ironic Pierre Trudeau quote that opens the film, Jason discusses t...
Canuck Introduck... tion
January 10, 2022 05:01 - 50 minutesIt's time to start with the next venture - OUR Screen, OUR Country. Brendan and Jason take a look at the Top 10 Canadian Film (as released by the Toronto International Film Festival in 2015). To begin though, they go through some of their favourite pieces of Canadian film and television. Does Canadian humour bridge the gap between American and British comedy? Why does very little Canadian comedy make a splash in other countries? Does anyone remember Kevin Spencer? All this and more in this we...

You can ...
Hell Drivers
December 13, 2021 05:01 - 1 hourThe second of two Audience Brit Picks dominates the discussion this week as the guys discuss the Stanley Baker trucker flick - Hell Drivers. Do you like vamping for long periods of time? Is this the oldest movie to have a main character with a "mysterious past?" How do they rate the film's love triangle? Also - be sure to check out Jason's pitch for the plot of Hell Drivers being used for Solo. Next week: Our final wrap-up of the BFI Top 100! Questions? Comments? Suggestions? You can alway...
The Dresser
December 06, 2021 05:01 - 1 hourBefore we wrap this damn thing up, the guys look to the audience and choose The Dresser from the list of suggestions. Does this highly theatrical film starring Albert Finney and Tom Courtenay successfully stake its claim to be placed in the BFI Top 100? How does this movie manage to have such "big" acting that works so well on film? Did Brendan go too 'tiny film glasses' with his war metaphor theory? What about Jason's theory that Norman is in love with Sir? All that and more in this week's e...
Awards and Official Rankings Episode #5
November 29, 2021 05:01 - 1 hourThis week, the guys wrap up the most recent (and final) batch of 20 movies on the BFI Top 100 with their awards and rank them from Best to Fine (seriously, there was not one bad movie in this bunch, folks!)

Gasp at Jason's surprising movie pick for #1! All that and more in this week's big show. Next week: An audience-chosen Brit Pic...
The Third Man (#1)
November 22, 2021 05:01 - 1 hourThis week, the guys finally come to the end of the BFI Top 100 list with a discussion of The Third Man (the #1 film!) Is Holly Martens a good writer and how does it factor into the story itself? Could this movie have benefitted from a Se7en-like ad campaign? Does the unusual soundtrack work or is it distracting? And most importantly, how many Taye Diggs movies can Brendan name under pressure? All this and more in a landmark episode! Next week: We rank the previous 20 movies covered on the s...
Nil By Mouth (#97)
November 15, 2021 05:01 - 1 hourThis week, the guys discuss the penultimate episode on the list in Gary Oldman's gritty, dark Nil By Mouth.

Next week: The guys talk about the final movie on the list - #1: The ...
Billy Liar (#76)
November 08, 2021 05:01 - 1 hourThis week, the guys discuss another John Schlesinger film in the form of the 1963 comedy Billy Liar. How does this movie compare to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Ally McBeal and Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Was 1963 the peak year for catchphrase comedians? They also talk about speaking in different dialects based on your audience, Julie Christie/fast food restaurant tie-ins and much, much more. Next week: Since we know what's last, that leaves Nil By Mouth as the penultimate movie on the l...
Sunday Bloody Sunday (#65)
November 01, 2021 04:01 - 1 hourThis week, the guys discuss sexuality and relationships in John Schlesinger's Sunday Bloody Sunday. What is this film's weird connection with the actual Bloody Sunday riots? Is this the first time a gay character's sexual preference barely figures into anything outside of their relationship? How much of the movie is based on Schlesinger's own life? And are those children *really* smoking weed!? The guys also draw next week's movie out of a hat! What will it be? Join us, won't you? Question...
Secrets & Lies (#40)
October 25, 2021 04:01 - 1 hourThis week, your hosts start to round the bend on this list as they discuss Mike Leigh's award-winning directorial effort Secrets & Lies, a film that asks questions about motherhood, family and race... but the latter is surprisingly the least discussed. The guys also talk the terrific one-scene characters, Mike Leigh's writing style allowing for more accurate representation of people of colour, how dangerous it is to bottle all your feelings up and more! The guys also draw next week's movie ...
A Man for All Seasons (#43)
October 18, 2021 04:01 - 1 hourStand by your beliefs, hold strong and carry on! This week, the guys break down the Oscar-winning A Man for All Seasons detailing Thomas More's refusal to approve of Henry VIII's divorce and the repercussions that follow that.

A Fish Called Wanda (#39)
October 11, 2021 04:01 - 1 hourIt's time to head back to the world of comedy one more time on this list with the British box office smash A Fish Called Wanda. How in the world did Kevin Kline shape his infamous and Oscar-winning performance as Wanda's narcissistic lover Otto? Does Michael Palin's portrayal of those affected by speech impediments hold up over time? This movie was going to be an even darker comedy at one point?! They also dive deep into the 'fish scene' and talk about what Kline was WILLING to do to make it ...
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (#45)
October 04, 2021 04:01 - 1 hourWhat better way to follow up last week's raunchy comedy than with an epic profile of a complicated soldier in the Powell & Pressburger classic The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. Does this movie take shots at the British army through the title character's unwavering committment to tradition and morality? How dangerous was it to talk about Germany's justified anger in 1943? Was this secretly a progressive film for women? And none of you will be shocked when you find out the idenity of the man...
Carry On Up the Khyber (#99)
September 27, 2021 04:01 - 1 hourIt's the moment you've all been waiting for... this week, Brendan and Jason FINALLY get to talk about Carry On Up the Khyber, the 16th in a series of 31 farcical comedies with a mostly-recurring cast. As per usual, the guys ask all the tough questions such as: is there a single person of colour in this film? Did this movie and others in the series inspire filmmakers like David Zucker? Is there a clear political message buried in all the silliness and decidedly politically incorrect humour? Do...
Kind Hearts and Coronets (#6)
September 20, 2021 04:01 - 1 hourThis week, the guys return to the list! This is the final Ealing Studios comedy on the list so the question is... will Jason finally genuinely like one of these a lot? Is there ever too many Alec Guinnesses or the more the merrier? What are the lead character's similarities to Patrick Bateman? And did they just say what I think they said in that one scene?! (we literally can't and don't want to type it out here)? Plus: it's an all-out directors brawl! The guys also draw next week's movie ou...
