Podcast appearances and mentions of bruce mcdonald

This week, we are trapped inside and beset by unnameable horrors in a dark corner of the Great White North. Sammy from the Gentlemen's Guide to Midnite Cinema pops in to discuss Pontypool (2008), directed by Bruce McDonald, followed by the notorious SOV act of lunacy, Things (1989), directed (if that's what you can call it?) by Andrew Jordan. As well as pondering the profound cultural influence of language as a thing in and of itself, we also tackle some other philosophical questions such as: The possibly Saxon origins of the word, "fart". Kettle or urn, which is better? And just what the hell does "no cap" mean? It's not really possible to spoil Things (because it's not really possible to understand the plot, assuming there is one), but we will call out Spoiler Territory for Pontypool. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 1:33:23 mark to avoid spoilers. Want to get in touch?

“She doesn't know it yet, but she's hunting us.”How a Virus Spreads Through LanguageThe 2008 Canadian horror film Pontypool, directed by Bruce McDonald and written by Tony Burgess, was inspired by Orson Welles' famous radio broadcast of War of the Worlds. Originally, Burgess envisioned the entire film as a radio play, with the main character Grant Mazzy reading the script accompanied only by a visual of the blue waveform. While this concept wasn't fully realized, it heavily influenced the confined, constrained storyline of the radio station employees trying to make sense of the outbreak consuming their small town. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the Disease Films series with a conversation about Pontypool.Dissecting the Viral Outbreak in PontypoolOne of the most intriguing aspects of Pontypool is how the horror unfolds through the limited perspective of the radio station employees. As Grant Mazzy, Sydney Briar, and Laurel-Ann Drummond receive increasingly disturbing reports from Ken Loney in the "Sunshine Chopper," the tension builds before the true nature of the viral outbreak is revealed. The film's unique approach to storytelling keeps the audience engaged, even when the explanation for the virus itself may seem a bit far-fetched.Throughout our discussion, we explore the metaphorical implications of a virus that spreads through the English language. As a Canadian film, Pontypool seems to comment on the value of traditionalism and the French language in Ontario, while also critiquing the potentially damaging influence of American shock jock radio. The film's central conceit – that language itself can become contagious and dangerous – resonates even more strongly in today's era of social media and misinformation.Other Highlights from Our ConversationThe wordplay and coincidences in Grant Mazzy's opening monologue, foreshadowing the importance of language in the storyThe debate over whether Grant Mazzy was infected by the virus at the end of the filmThe role of Dr. Mendez as the "book of the vampire," providing exposition and context for the outbreakThe powerful portrayal of Laurel-Ann's deterioration, offering a window into the effects of the virusPontypool may not be a perfect film, but its clever premise and thought-provoking themes make it a worthwhile entry in the Disease Films series. By confining the action to the radio station and relying on reports from outside, the movie creates a sense of claustrophobia and dread that keeps the audience engaged despite the sometimes flimsy explanation for the virus itself. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

Are you ready for another road trip? Directed by Bruce Mcdonald? And written by Bruce Mcdonald AND Don McKellar? And starring Don McKellar AND Valerie Buhagiar? AGAIN?!?!?! Hop in, it's time for Don Mckellar's third credit, "Highway 61". Mckellar is a dorky barber who finds a dead body in a bathtub ( in the backyard of his shop). Valerie Buhagiar, a complete stranger, shows up and talks him into a roadtrip to deliver the corpse (her brother) home. But big jk, it's not her brother, she's just hiding some drugs inside of him and this is an elaborate ruse. Also, Satan is after them. Is this super dumb? Did they say "hey, lets do another road trip movie cause we are better at everything now"? Is this the movie where we find out McKellar has the most chest hair you've ever seen on someone outside of a cartoon? Well, there's only one way to find out. It's time for another We Doing Filmographies episode, Don McKellar edition. Weeha. Linktr.ee/wedoingfilmographies for social media and all the other things.

In this episode, Dan is still thinking about Ryan Reynolds!? "Pontypool," directed by Bruce McDonald and released in 2008, is a unique and cerebral horror film that reimagines the zombie genre through the lens of linguistic terror. Set in the small town of Pontypool, Ontario, the film takes place almost entirely within the confines of a radio station. Grant Mazzy, played by Stephen McHattie, is a radio DJ who begins his day like any other, only to find himself at the center of a mysterious and horrifying outbreak. As reports of violent and bizarre behavior start to flood in from the outside world, Mazzy and his small team, including producer Sydney Briar and technician Laurel-Ann, struggle to understand the cause and nature of the chaos. The film's tension builds as they realize that the virus is spread through the English language, turning ordinary words into deadly weapons. What sets "Pontypool" apart is its innovative approach to horror, focusing on psychological suspense and the power of communication rather than visual gore and typical zombie tropes. The film's claustrophobic setting and strong performances, particularly by McHattie, create an intense and immersive experience. The concept of a language-based infection is both original and thought-provoking, raising questions about the nature of meaning, communication, and the vulnerabilities of human interaction. "Pontypool" is a standout in the horror genre for its intellectual depth and minimalistic style, proving that true terror can emerge from the most unexpected and mundane aspects of daily life.

Bruce and Becky McDonald are missionaries that have spent more than thirty years circling the globe fulfilling the great commission. Following God's will, they have lived and ministered in the regions beyond, including the USSR, Latvia, Russia, Congo, Sudan and Rwanda. Since moving onto the mission field, their vision has been to reach the ares where few have dared to go and where the gospel is virtually unknown. Once into these regions beyond, they have worked to establish the church by building a foundation and training nationals for positions of pastoral leadership. In areas where no churches exist, they work with trained pastors to conduct crusades in conjunction with the new churches. Primary areas of ministry include some of the most difficult places on earth that are often torn with war, famine (spiritual and natural), political unrest, severe climates and economic instability. From their base, they can easily reach their main areas of ministry concentration: Russia, Latvia, Ukraine, Bangladesh, North Africa, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

On the latest edition of Lens Me Your Ears, we have a look at films set in Toronto, Canada's largest city and for some, The Centre of the Universe :). Ah, but we kid the T-Dot. With the new Disney/Pixar film Turning Red examining the life of a teenage girl and her Chinese-Canadian family, and an ancestral legacy that sees her turn into a giant red panda when she hits puberty, we thought we'd take a look at other films where "the city is a character" from 1979's The Silent Partner through Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, with films by Atom Egoyan, Sarah Polley and Bruce McDonald along the way. Follow us on twitter: @Lensmeyourears and like us on Facebook!

Now, a lot of movies are shot in Canada but not a whole lot are SET in Canada and with this being so close to home and the fact that we've received more than a few hints from our listers to cover it, we've decided to give the Horror 101 treatment to Pontypool.
