ART! TRASH! TERROR! Adventures in Strange Cinema (Headpress 2025) by Chris Alexander is a treasure trove of in-depth essays and edifying interviews that celebrate some of the most eccentric and unforgettable movies in cult cinema history. From recognized classics (George A. Romero's Dawn Of The Dead, David Lynch's The Elephant Man) to misunderstood masterpieces (Michael Mann's The Keep, Boris Sagal's The Omega Man) to unfairly maligned curios (Kostas Karagiannis' Land Of The Minotaur, Brett Leonard's Hideaway), the author takes an alternately serious and playful but always personal look at several strains of international horror, dark fantasy, and exploitation film -- motion pictures that transform, transgress, challenge, infuriate, shock, and entertain. Connecting these passionate and critical essays are insightful interviews with revered talents, such as John Waters (writer/director, Cecil B. Demented), Michael Winner (director, The Sentinel), Nicolas Cage (actor, Vampire's Kiss), Gene Simmons (co-founder/bassist, KISS), William Crain (director, Blacula), William Lustig (director, Maniac), Werner Herzog (director, Nosferatu: Phantom Der Nacht) and many more, as well as witty, heartfelt memoirs charting the author's oddball experiences on the fringes of Hollywood and beyond.

This week, the province announced municipalities need QP approval for new bike lanes if they remove car lanes. Meanwhile, the Premier is considering cutting existing bike lanes on Bloor, University, and Yonge. City Hall is also making a crucial move to combat renovictions, but we must remember landlords deserve fair treatment too. Additionally, Kathleen Wynne's recent labeling of Anthony Furey as a bigot raises concerns, especially without evidence. 911 CALL WAIT TIME DELAYS AND GUN CONTROL  Clayton Campbell, President of Toronto Police Association challenged the Trudeau government's claims of progress on the handgun problem. The TPA highlights alarming statistics: a 45% increase in shootings and a 62% rise in gun-related homicides compared to last year. Libby and Clayton discus how these numbers paint a stark picture of the gun violence crisis. TRUDEAU SLASHES IMMIGRATION TARGETS The federal Liberals have announced new immigration targets, likely reflecting a drop of over 20%. This shift appears to respond to growing public concern that Canada is bringing in too many newcomers. Libby is joined by Chris Alexander, Former Minister of Citizenship and Immigration under Stephen Harper, and Barbara Jo Caruso, Co-President of the Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association to discuss this topic.

This afternoon, Joe and David began a conversation about lawmakers planning for a possible mass casualty event before the election. This plan is being advocated by four House members and involves a constitutional amendment that would allow for the quick replacement of Congress members in the event of a casualty attack. Later, the pair moved on to discuss the public's response to this mass casualty event plan, pointing out how it seems orchestrated. After a short break, Joe and David were joined by guest Christopher Alexander from LACAG. The three discussed election integrity efforts in Louisiana, efforts to give the people a seat at the table, lobbyists, and much more. Following Chris's departure, Joe and David discussed Biden's latest speech to the UN, the conflict in the Middle East, and more, before closing in prayer.  

MEDICAL RECORD: WHAT A NEW STUDY TELLS US ABOUT THE USE OF AI IN TREATING HOSPITAL PATIENTS Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Alisa Naiman, a family doctor in Toronto, Dr. Amol Verma, Clinician-Scientist at St. Michael's Hospital and Temerty Professor of AI Research and Education in Medicine at the University of Toronto, and Dr. Aaron Schimmer, the Director of Research at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre as well as a staff physician and a senior scientist. Today we discuss a groundbreaking study co-authored by Dr. Amol Verma on the use of AI and how it has contributed to a 26 percent reduction in unexpected deaths for patients being treated in hospital. And, should we be moving away from the Body Mass Index and instead use the Body Roundness Index (also known as BRI)? THE DEBATE AROUND THE FILM "RUSSIANS AT WAR" WHICH SPARKED CONTROVERSY AT THIS YEAR'S TIFF Libby Znaimer is now joined by freelance journalist Justin Ling and Chris Alexander, Canada's former ambassador to Afghanistan and Minister of Immigration under former Prime Minister Stephen Harper. "Russians at War" was going to premiere at TIFF this year but was cancelled amid public backlash and protest. The festival said they suspended the screenings of the film in response to "significant threats". But this week, the film was back on. Yesterday's screening was greeted by another demonstration by members of the Ukrainian community and supporters claiming that this was just a piece of Russian propaganda. Was this censorship or an attempt to fend off Russian propaganda from infiltrating us and influencing our elections and our people? PIERRE POILIEVRE EXPECTED TO INTRODUCE NON- CONFIDENCE MOTION NEXT WEEK Libby Znaimer is joined by Bob Richardson, a Public Affairs Consultant, and Jason Lietaer, a Conservative Strategist and President of Enterprise. Pierre Poilievre is set to introduce a non-confidence motion next week. The question is, can the Conservatives get the support they need from the Bloc Québécois and NDP? And, if they fail, what can we expect from the Conservatives in future in terms of trying to get a vote of non-confidence? Meanwhile, did you see the video of NDP leader Jagmeet Singh confronting protestors on Parliament Hill? Did he do a good job of responding to the situation?

In 1978, horror legend George A. Romero created one of the most iconic films in the horror genre and a classic that defied genres altogether. His follow up to his mighty 1968 masterpiece “Night of the Living Dead”. The film, about a small band of survivors who take shelter in a shopping mall, while the outside world falls apart at the clawing hands of the living dead, was not only an audience and critical hit, it redefined the genre and its influence cannot be underestimated.In this special episode of Spill your guts, we celebrate the 45th anniversary of George A. Romero's seminal masterpiece, “Dawn of the Dead”.Joining me to discuss the film is horror maestro and long time friend of Spill your guts, Chris Alexander. Chris is the former editor of Fangoria magazine, an author, filmmaker and all around genre spokesman. He's also the perfect person for me to talk with about the film.Both Chris and I were fortunate enough to have a friendship with George and we both had our own unique conversations with him about “Dawn” and his relationship to the film.We discuss the films inception, the happy accidents that lead to some of the films most iconic moments, the challenges George faced with the production itself, the films incredibly multifaceted and damn near perfect script and why George Romero himself had a somewhat complicated relationship with the film. This and much, much more.It's difficult when discussing a film like “Dawn” not to retread when a movie has been analyzed and discussed as much as this but by taking a more holistic view of the film and because of our own relationships with the films creator, I feel even the most devout “Dawn” fans will find some ideas and insights here worth chewing on.Okay folks, there's no more room in hell so let's get down to it and return to Monroeville Mall with Chris Alexander as we look back at George A. Romero's “Dawn of the Dead”! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
