End Credits #324 - December 6, 2023 (It’s A Wonderful Knife)

This week on End Credits, we bring you season's grievings! See what we did there? If we're making generic holiday salutations with a dark twist, then you know the time has come for another Christmas horror, and this year that happens to be It's a Wonderful Knife, which you can now watch on Shudder. In other end-of-year matters, we will kick-off this last month of 2023 by talking about some of the stuff that happened in 2023. 

This Wednesday, December 6, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss:

Your Trend Till the End. It's our first show of December, and it's one of our last shows of the year, so you know what that means: It's time to recap! What kind of year has it been? That's what we're going to talk about as be begin this episode, the movie trends of 2023. Was this year the end of the comic book movie as we know it? Was it the year of Taylor in concert? Barbenheimer? M3GAN? Come to think of it, there were more than a few killer A.I.s and other automatons this year. We'll get to the bottom of the meaning of 2023.

REVIEW: It's a Wonderful Knife (2023). In 1946, Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life came out and while it bombed at the box office, it has since become a cherished holiday movie tradition. Nearly 80 years later now we have It's a Wonderful Knife, a slasher-inspired take on the classic. When Winnie stops a masked killer, it looks like life goes on in the small town of Angel Falls, but Winnie now feeling out of place wishes that she was never born. You probably know what comes next... Can Winnie defeat her sadistic serial killing nemesis again and get back to her home reality in time for Christmas? What time of year is it again?!

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