End Credits #316 - October 11, 2023 (The Equalizer 3)

This week on End Credits we're thankful for good movies. Obviously. After a long weekend off, we're back with not just one movie, but one movie and four shorter movies. As you can see from the picture, we're going to mark the VOD release of The Equalizer 3 by talking about why it's so awesome, plus Wes Anderson made some stuff for Netflix. Did you notice?

This Wednesday, October 11, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss:

The Anderson Four. In 2009, Wes Anderson made The Fantastic Mr. Fox, his first feature length stop-motion animated film based on the children's novel of the same name by Roald Dahl. Anderson has returned to stop-motion, but he hasn't gone back to Dahl... Until now! Anderson has made four short films based on four different Dahl stories and they're all available now on Netflix. We're going to talk about all four and discuss whether they work better on their own or as a package.

REVIEW: The Equalizer 3 (2023). Denzel Washington is a movie star, so that's why we're getting a third chapter in a mid-budget action movie series based on a cult classic 80s TV show about a former spy turned vigilante for hire for the everyman. In The Equalizer 3, the action moves from big city Boston to a small town in coastal Italy. as our man Robert McCall (Washington) finds himself in a one man war against the mafia to save his idyllic new home. So is it still satisfying to watch Denzel beat up Euro-trash bad guys or has everything truly been equalized?

End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
