Podcasts about end credits

This week on End Credits, there's a chill in the air. No, it's not the weather, because it's finally fairly warm outside, but in the movie theatre, that's not just the air conditioning you're feeling. For the review we will finally check out the Backrooms, which is currently making bank, and we will also go back to 1976, and high school, for a lesson in kindness.  This Wednesday, June 10, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: 6 For '76: Carrie. Returning to our series about the movies from 1976 we arrive at what might be the scariest. Brian De Palma, still looking for his first hit, took a gamble on the first novel from a new author named Stephen King about a mousy high school student who is pranked one time too many by her classmates. We will talk about the enduring appeal of Carrie, De Palma's trademark style, and the repeated efforts to try and remake perfection. REVIEW: Backrooms (2006). This may be the story of the year: A 20-year-old first-time filmmaker, Kane Parsons, turned the YouTube series he made in high school into a movie starring two Oscar nominees that's presently outstripping a new Star Wars movie at the box office. Not too shabby, so let's talk about the movie itself, which finds a strung out man played by Chiwetel Ejiofor discovering a vast, magical enclosed space beyond the wall of his furniture store. Why does Backrooms work for audiences, and does it work for these reviewers? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

Half of city council is new in terms this being their first term in office, but that doesn't mean that some of those people were politically inexperienced entering this office. For decades, the farm league for politicians has been the local school board, which is about as direct as democracy can get. Looking back at this term, and the rapid pace of change that councillors have had to deal with, have the councillors with that school board experience had a leg up? It was literally the day after the 2022 municipal elections that the Ontario government announced Bill 23 and sweeping changes to local planning policy. Later, Strong Mayor Powers were expanded beyond Ontario's biggest and then the downloading began again. It's safe to say that being a city councillor in 2026 is not the same as it was in 2021, so can you persevere in a job that's no longer the one you applied for? This may be the key question of this election, at least when we're talking about the DNA of local governance. Here in Guelph, two of the first-term councillors are ready to keep going and perhaps unsurprisingly, they were the two formally of the Upper Grand District School Board. They're used to being the underdog in an all too familiar fight for fairness, so as we head into this fall's election, what are the hard lessons they've learned that make them want to take the fight into a second term? Ward 4 Councillor Linda Busuttil and Ward 6 Councillor Katherine Hauser join us on this edition of the pod to discuss how the job has changed in the last four years, how the council experience differs from serving on the school board, and whether or not they had any doubt about running for re-election this October. We will also talk about the three Bs, managing expectations and criticism from constituents, and handling the constant flow of information that's coming in with the weekly council reports. So let's talk again about the last four years on council on this week's Guelph Politicast! Once again, nominations for mayor, city councillor, and school board trustee are open until August 21. You can learn more about how to run, who's running and other important information here. If you're listening to this on Wednesday, there's a city council meeting later today starting at 4 pm, and you can get all the council agendas on the City Government page of the City of Guelph website, and you can follow up with all the coverage here on Guelph Politico!

Daniel prays where people can see him, but Jesus tells his followers not to pray just to be noticed. So did Daniel and Jesus disagree about prayer? Kaitlyn explains why Daniel's prayer was an act of quiet faithfulness, not religious showmanship, and why Jesus was warning against using prayer to impress an audience. Mike and Kaitlyn talk about public faith, political protest, performative religion, and the difference between staying faithful to God and trying to look faithful to everyone else.   0:00 - Theme Song   0:58 - Was Daniel a Hypocrite?   6:57 - What's the Lion's Den Story's Point?   11:40 - Sponsor - Belonging by Design - Learn how to show up for special-needs families at your church.

Just this week there were more warning from the federal government about the threats of out malleable information ecosystem, warnings that Russia is targeting Canada with misinformation to sew divisions and erode confidence in democratic institutions. In an era of partisan media and A.I. deep fakes, how do you know that what you're reading or seeing is the truth? Let's talk about it... It may surprise you that the idea of universally objective press is a relatively modern idea. In the past, anyone with the means, money and ability could start a pamphlet or newspaper if they had a point of view, whether that was supporting a political party or candidate, or advancing a business interest. In a sense, our media landscape has gone backwards in the last several years, we have returned to the days of partisan newspapers (in a sense).  When you're doom scrolling on your favourite social media app, how to you know if the post you're seeing has a specific political slant, even compared to the next post you see on the very same topic? Now there's the added complication of artificial intelligence but how do you know that the story you're reading, the video you're watching of the picture you're seeing is even real? The odds are against you, right? Maybe, but that doesn't mean you're alone, or that you can't get smarter on these issues. At a recent edition of Breezy Breakfast hosted at Uptown Grill, Trillium reporter Steve Cornwell, and I took part in a conversation that covers all the bases including A.I. slop, foreign misinformation campaigns, internet anonymity and how these issues impact us on even a local level. This was recorded at the May 21 edition of Breezy Breakfast.  So let's talk about fighting A.I. and misinformation on this bonus edition of the Guelph Politicast!  You can read the reporting of Cornwell and his colleagues at Queen's Park, including their new hire Tina Yazdani, here, and you can sign up for Webb's newsletter “In Other News” here. If you're looking for help when it comes to the ways of combating misinformation, you can find resources on at Canada's Centre of Digital Media Literacy, or the Centre for Information Integrity at the University of Ottawa.

This week on End Credits, we've got pitch! Our movie this week combines a love and appreciation for both classical music and classical crime in the new indie thrill Tuner, which you can now see in a theatre near you. And for something completely different, we will take the opportunity to mark some our favourite war movies as a new one also enters theatres.  This Wednesday, June 3, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: War Movies Are Hell. This week marks the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, and not coincidentally there's a new movie in theatres that's about the weatherman who provided the forecast for the invasion (it's called Pressure by the way). So in that spirit, we will talk about some our favourite war movies, but with a twist: each of our picks have to be from a different war! From the trenches of the Great War to the deserts of Afghanistan, we will prove again that war movies are... you know. REVIEW: Tuner (2026). It's a story that's been told several times: Down on his luck guy with a special skill finds success in a life of small time crime until things go horribly wrong and he wants out! In Tuner, that's Niki who's extreme hearing sensitivity makes him an excellent piano tuner... and an excellent safe cracker. From Academy Award winning documentarian Daniel Roher (though it's not a documentary), Tuner is being sold as a crime movie with a heart with a talented new leading man at it's centre, but is this new take on an old story pitch perfect, or does it hit a sour note? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

Remember MZOs. Early on in the Ford government, Ministerial Zoning Orders were the hot thing to cut through red tape and get construction started faster by overriding public planning procedures, like the one being sought now for a one million square foot facility on zoned agricultural land in Puslinch. As upper levels of government accelerate pro-business policies and override environmental concerns and assessments, can one group of activists still win? It's been a while since we've had to deal with the overuse, and maybe the misuse, of the Ministerial Zoning Order. The Ford government issued a record 120 MZOs between 2018 and 2024, which prompted the auditor general to say in December of that year that the process needs an overhaul, not the least of which because only 12 per cent of those projects made it to completion. Some, like the glass plant in Stratford, never even got started. That's why the MZO being sought by Danby and Upper Canada Forest Group for a new headquarters in Puslinch is so fraught. Local residents are concerned about putting something this big on sensitive agricultural land and right next door to the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada, plus there are issues around road access and the more appropriate employment lands zoned nearby. One group has managed to stop the project this far, but are they ready for this fight to go all the way to Queen's Park? Justin Wilson of Help Protect Puslinch will join us on this edition of the podcast to talk about the group's objections to the project, the practical planning reasons why the town council has repeatedly rejected the project, and balancing growth and small town charm in Puslinch. He will also talk about the room for compromise on this issue, whether they've had a chance to talk to Danby CEO Jim Estill directly, and the lessons learned from other MZO fights. Also, are Wilson and his associates NIMBYs? So let's talk about the latest MZO fight in our own backyard on this week's Guelph Politicast!  You can learn about the group Help Protect Puslinch at their website, and you can follow them on social media on Facebook and on Instagram. If you're listening to this on Wednesday and you want to get involved, that public meeting we talked about is tonight at the Puslinch Community Centre at 7 pm. To learn more about the Small Change Fund, you can go to their website. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

It's a mailbag episode, and Kaitlyn is taking on a wide range of listener questions about church, communion, and Christian formation. Is it okay to take the Lord's Supper by yourself at home if your church only celebrates it once a month? What does it actually mean to "live in light of the resurrection"? And how much theological training should pastors and ministry leaders have before stepping into leadership? Plus, Kaitlyn and Mike wrestle honestly with what to do when every church near you feels too casual, too shallow, or just not what you hoped for.   0:00 - Theme Song   1:33 - Can You Do the Lord's Supper Alone/   11:21 - Living in Light of the Resurrection?   17:22 - Importance of Being "Theologically-Trained"   25:02 - Sponsor - Belonging by Design - Learn how to show up for special-needs families at your church.

Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? TRE and the Power of Spontaneous Shaking: Richmond Heath on Somatic Stress RecoverySavia Rocks welcomes physiotherapist and TRE Australia founder Richmond Heath to season seven of The Us People Podcast to discuss spontaneous shaking/trembling as an overlooked, positive human recovery reflex. Richmond shares growing up on a farm in Victoria, later developing chronic pain and stress, and experiencing spontaneous movement during Vipassana meditation that shifted his understanding of tension and healing. He explains TRE (Tension/Trauma Release Exercises) as a trauma-informed method that uses simple muscle fatigue to deliberately evoke and regulate tremors, reframing shaking from a symptom of anxiety, shock, or weakness into a mechanism that discharges stress and adrenaline. The conversation covers somatics, polyvagal theory, trauma as immobilization, cultural suppression of shaking, examples from animals and traditional societies, and practical supports like breathwork, mindfulness, exercise, community, and purpose, plus Richmond's TRE online course (trecourse.com) and its global reach.00:00 Welcome to the Podcast02:27 Richmond Heath's Backstory03:35 Pain to Breakthrough10:01 Discovering TRE Purpose14:06 What Is TRE22:26 Shaking and Anxiety31:38 Somatic Explained39:10 Trauma Origins and Inheritance41:34 Practical Stress Tools44:39 Happiness Through Service46:47 Why TRE Calms Fast48:18 Beyond Mindfulness Limits49:40 COVID Shift to Online54:05 Polyvagal Science Basics56:22 Freeze Response Explained01:01:25 Everyday Trauma Example01:04:33 Why Adults Suppress Shaking01:06:54 Authenticity and Reawakening01:14:12 Key Takeaways and Utero Movement01:19:11 How to Learn TRE01:23:14 Closing Thanks and Outro01:25:51 End Credits and Final ReflectionThank you so much Richmond for teaching us that Trauma show be shown freely in order to heal ourselves - Savia RocksWebsite: https://www.treaustralia.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/TRE-Australia/100057615902736/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tre_australia/?hl=enLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richmond-heath-08719326/Support the show

This week on End Credits, for the first time in a while, the Force is with us! If you haven't guessed already, we will be reviewing the 13th entry in the sci-fi adventure franchise, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, which you can now see in a theatre near you. And if we're watching a new Star Wars movie, then what better time is there to hand out The Star Wars Awards?! This Wednesday, May 27, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: The Star Wars Awards. How can we celebrate the return of Star Wars to theatres everywhere? we could do a ranking of all 12 previous movies in the franchise, but that seems kind of simple, and we have to recognize that Star Wars isn't just a movie series, it's a cultural touchstone. So to mark this week's new release we will hand out the first annual (?) Star Wars Awards in five different categories, from Best Lightsaber Fight to Star Wars MVP! REVIEW: Star Wars: The Mandalorian And Grogu (2026). It's been seven years since we last saw a new Star Wars movie in theatres, and this one is about a masked bounty hunter and his little buddy. Based on the Disney+ series, The Mandalorian and Grogu follows the continuing adventures of Din Djarin and his sidekick sometimes known as "Baby Yoda" as they chase warlords, gangsters and sometimes fellow bounty hunters across a galaxy far, far away, but does this first big screen outing for the franchise re-establish Star Wars former box office and creative glory? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This term has presented a lot of challenges to transit and transit users, not the least of which was ridership recovering following the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has, thankfully, not only returned but grown in the last four years. Logistically speaking though, there are other challenges to transit that have stacked up including financial pressures, but what else is coming for transit in the next four years? Coming into this term of council, there was a lot to look forward to with Guelph Transit: investments to modernize transit routes, new real time update signs, new apps and tech, and a new fleet facility that would house this growing fleet of EV buses. The reality though is that whole portions of the Future Ready Action plan were delayed, the OnYourWay app will be discontinued this summer due to ongoing problems, and the construction on that new fleet facility has only just begun. While Guelph has struggled to keep up with its transit promises, there's been a lot of new pressure on transit too from the creation of major transit areas, the lack of new regional transit connections, especially on the weekend, and the passage of Bill 98, which gives a number of new powers to the provincial government that they can exercise over transit authorities and municipalities. Transit cannot be treated as some small issue in this election, but are our local candidates ready to make it a priority? Lending us some insight is to Steve Petric, the co-chair of the Transit Action Alliance Guelph, or TAAG. He will talk about if we're better off now than we were four years ago with transit service, and the reasons why we've seen an increase in ridership. Additionally, he will discuss transit management, and the disconnect between transit's issues and the first-hand experience of council. Also he will discuss the concerns about Bill 98 and what TAAG is planning in terms of advocacy this fall. So let's talk about transit now and the next four years on this week's Guelph Politicast! You can learn more about the Transit Action Alliance Guelph at their website, and follow them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. You can also subscribe to their Substack newsletter here. You can comment now on the Guelph Transit: Future Ready Action Plan update by visiting the City of Guelph's Have Your Say page.

When we say Scripture is inspired by God, what do we mean? Did God simply dictate every word, or put the authors in some sort of trance? Did Paul know he was writing Scripture when he first penned his letter to the Romans? Kaitlyn helps us understand what Christians mean when they say the Bible is "God-breathed," and how the Holy Spirit worked through real people with real personalities, purposes, cultures, and quirks. She also explains why God's choice to work through messy human means is not a problem to solve, but a gift to receive.   0:00 - Theme Song   2:58 - How Did the Bible Writers Know About God?   7:55 - The Experience of Being Inspired   12:20 - Sponsor - Blissy - Pure mulberry silk pillow cases—hypoallergenic, naturally cooling, and recommended by dermatologists!

This week on End Credits we're going to work it. No one would accuse this podcast of being fashionable, but with this episode we head work our way back to style in addition to our usual substance by reviewing The Devil Wears Prada 2, which is now in a theatre near you. And since we're going back, let us also go back in time to the Summer of 2006 for another draft! This Wednesday, May 20, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Summer Movies of 2006 Draft. Twenty years ago from this summer, we watched as the Pirates of the Caribbean fought for a dead man's chest. Tom Hanks raced around Paris search for the Da Vinci Code. The X-Men took their last stand (not really). Superman returned, and so did the clerks. The house was a monster, the ex-girlfriend was super and the Devil wore Prada. These are among the movies we might draft as we go back to the Summer of 2006! REVIEW: The Devil Wear Prada 2 (2026). Based loosely on legendary (infamous) Vogue editor Anna Wintour, the original The Devil Wears Prada followed an aspiring journalist played by Anne Hathaway going to work for a demanding magazine editor played by Meryl Streep. Now, 20 years later, Hathaway and Streep, plus co-stars Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt, all return for an encore as Streep's Miranda needs Hathaway's Andy to rescue her reputation, and her magazine, in the midst of PR crisis, but is The Devil still as delicious with the second bite? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

On Friday, Guelph Politico received a video of someone accessing the website "michellebowman.ca". Michelle Bowman is a candidate running in Ward 2 in this fall's municipal election, so one would think that if you typed in her name with the domain extension ".ca" that it would lead to her website. It doesn't. Barely three weeks into this election, do we already need to have a conservation about the rules and ethics of running for local office? A second source on the weekend then provided Politico with a link to a website set up by someone who was declaring themselves as a council candidate, although they had not yet filed their nominations papers. Concerning here was the inclusion of a donate button when the election rules state that you cannot collect donations, or spend donations on campaigning, until you're a registered candidate in the mayor, council, or school board trustee elections.  So how concerned should we be about these recent develops? Is there already election skullduggery afoot less than a month into this municipal election? That's tough to say. In so much as people are invested in knowing who wants to form the next city council and what they intend to do with that position, people are also invested in making sure they do it the proper way. Should we be guarded for more people testing the system over the next couple of months? To learn more about where the lines are this election, we will seek out the advice of Dylan McMahon, Guelph's city clerk and essentially the chief electoral officer for municipal elections. We turn to him with these two situations that arose over the weekend: Is it improper for someone else to own the domain of a candidate, can you raise money and campaign before you are officially a candidate, and what can you do if you have a cause for concern in the way some candidates are running? So let's talk about election concerns on this week's Guelph Politicast!  If you have questions or concerns about the election or the election rules, you can go to the City of Guelph's website or can call the clerk's office at 519-837-5625 or send an email to guelphvotes@guelph.ca. If you want to learn more about available domain names, or learn what legal recourse you have if someone's using your name as a domain name, you can go to the Canadian Internet Registration Authority website. In one last note, Guelph Politico reached out to Thai Mac, the owner of Caught in Guelph, to get comment about whether or not he owns the domain "michellebowman.ca", but he did not respond before press time.

Kaitlyn looks at why Proverbs personifies both wisdom and folly as women, how those images have often been misunderstood, and why Proverbs 31 should not be treated as an impossible checklist for Christian womanhood. She also talk about the Bible's honest account of sin's impact on men and women, the difference between wisdom and certainty, and why learning to live with unanswered questions can actually strengthen faith.   0:00 - Theme Song   1:40 - What's Up with Proverbs?   9:24 - Devaluing Women   13:20 - Sponsor - World Relief - Partner with World Relief in creating safety, stability and belonging for refugees and immigrants at https://www.worldrelief.org/KAITLYN   14:38 - The Bible Isn't a Formula   20:00 - Comfort in Uncertainty   24:31 - End Credits

Centre Wellington is the largest municipality inside the county, and it includes Elora and Fergus. In the literal and figurative middle of Wellington, representing it around the council table, unsurprisingly, is a two-person job. From this vantage point, they must have a unique view of relations between the city and county, and one of those councillors has an even bigger vantage point then that? Diane Ballantyne represents the southern side of Centre Wellington, which is also known as Ward 6. Listeners of this show may be familiar with her previous attempts to become the MPP of Wellington-Halton Hills, but since 2018 she's been the Ward 6 county councillor, and has put some impressive points on the board in the process taking part in several key committees and sitting on the board of Groves Memorial Community Hospital.  More than that, Ballantyne is one of the directors on the county caucus of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and was named an honourable mention in Municipal World's 2024 Women of Influence honours. Can Ballantyne's high profile be attributed to the fact that she's got one? She's one of the only people on county council with a social media footprint, so why aren't more of her colleagues talking about county politics on the socials? That's one of the things we'll talk about with Diane Ballantyne on this edition of the podcast as we get into her background before politics, dividing the civic responsibility for Centre Wellington, and whether or not it's Fergusite or Fergusonian. We will also discuss her role representing Wellington at AMO, her view on the Guelph/Wellington relationship, and why differences don't need to divide us across jurisdictions. Also, we will talk about running for re-election and why social media doesn't have to divide us. So let's head to the middle, or the south part of the middle, on this month's Wellington County Politicast! You can learn more about Diane Ballantyne and the work she does at her website. You can also follow her on social media on Facebook and Instagram. Although there wasn't any time to get into it, you can also check out one of Ballantyne's side projects, Centre Wellington Pride, of which she was a co-founder, and you can find information about that group and its events at their website.  The Wellington County Politicast will return next month!!

This week on End Credits, we get international. The review today comes from Spain, with a universal take of family dynamics that just so happens to be in Spanish in 53 Sundays, which you can now stream on Netflix. Along similar lines, this entire show will be about a language other than English, at least so far as the movies are concerned!  This Wednesday, May 13, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Películas en un idioma distinto al inglés. This roughly translates into "films in a non-English language", which might also be called "international movies" or "foreign language films" depending on who you're talking to. Since this week's selection is in Spanish, we will take the opportunity to talk about other non-English films we enjoy, from serious dramas to silly genre fare, we will travel the world cinema in around 30 minutes before the main review... REVIEW: 53 Sundays (2026). The new Spanish film 53 domingos plays out a conversation that probably happens in many families: What do we do about an aging parent that can't fully be trusted to live on their own any more? Writer and director Cesc Gay stages a chamber dramedy about three siblings trying to answer that question, but really they're more interested in twisting the knife and sticking one of them with the exclusive responsibility for their father. Was 53 Sundays the darkly cynical balm we needed for this past Mother's Day weekend? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

Is there a bigger political lightning rod when it comes to the City of Guelph budget than the police budget? For some people, we spend too much on the police and at the expense of expanded funding for social services, and for others we don't spend nearly enough on the police. As we look to the next term at city hall, what challenges around policing will be presented to the new council? In their 2024-2027 Strategic Plan, the Guelph Police Service outlined six priority areas: community policing, investigative excellence, community wellness, organizational health and service effectiveness, road safety, and policing downtown. To help achieve those ends, GPS committed to a Staffing & Service Delivery study performed by KPMG, which said the service needed more investment to bring it up to par with similarly sized cities.  It was hardly the best time for such big budget increases based on the fallout of Black Lives Matter and the affordability crisis, but the budget increases over the last few years have produced results. The challenges though keep multiplying, and so do the funds needed, and while the police are not political, the funding of police is. As we start debating the issues in this election, what are the police leaders thinking about before the next term of council in terms of their priorities?  To that end, we have on this edition both Guelph Police Services Chief Gord Cobey and chair of the Guelph Police Services Board Peter McSherry. Together, they will will discuss the inner workings of the Police Board, balancing affordability and growth over the last couple of budgets and whether the Guelph Police has achieved or exceeded their expectations. We will also talk about the police's role in educating the public about the budget and whether there's an education role for the police in this election.  So let's talk about the future of police and this election on this week's Guelph Politicast!  You can learn more about the Guelph Police Service, and find all its published reports on their website. The next meeting of the Guelph Police Services Board is on Thursday May 21, and you will be able to watch it on the Guelph Police YouTube channel. The agenda for that meeting will be available on Friday on the GPS website. Stay tuned for more reporting and insight about the election on Guelph Politico and the Guelph Politico Tip Sheet newsletter.  The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

Ever looked around during worship and wondered why everyone suddenly has their hands in the air? Kaitlyn and producer Mike explore where this practice comes from, what the Bible actually says about worship, and why different churches express worship in such different ways. They also unpack the tension between emotional worship and thoughtful faith, and ask an important question: What if God cares more about the condition of your heart than the placement of your hands?   0:00 - Theme Song   1:01 - Why Do We Put Hands Up in Worship?   3:45 - Ways of Worship   9:05 - The Anti-Hand-Raising Argument   14:45 - Sponsor - After Class Podcast - Take Theology seriously… without taking yourself too seriously: https://afterclass.libsyn.com/   15:58 - Sponsor - OneAccord - Live-translation platform built for churches!

This week on End Credits we're listening. For the movie review today, we will get into a movie you don't just have to watch because it's also a listening experience. Yes, we are going to talk about the new horror movie Undertone, and speaking of not-so-easy listening, we will continue on with our "6 For '76" series with a story about love and music! This Wednesday, May 6, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: 6 For '76: A Star Is Born. Not for the first time, and definitely not for the last time, director Frank Pierson remade the 1937 movie A Star Is Born in 1976. This one shook up the formula, moving the action from the movie industry to the music industry and telling the story of the ill-fated romance between a falling star played by Kris Kristofferson and a rising star played by Barbara Streisand. Our "6 For '76" series rolls on with the second biggest movie of that year! REVIEW: Undertone (2026). Called "The scariest movie you will ever hear," Undertone has a lot to live up to. Director Ian Tuason, inspired by his own experiences caring for his dying parents, crafted a sonic experience of a movie about a podcaster caring for her comatose mother while slowly coming to the realization that her childhood home might be haunted. Or maybe it's in her mind. This low-budget horror is the latest in a line of successful Canadian movies that have come out so far in 2026 and this week we take our chance to talk about it. End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

Sure, it's an election year, but that doesn't mean that the current city council is coasting in their last year in office. The council calendar has been pretty busy these first four months of 2026, and some of the things that have kept them busy might surprise you. This week, if you don't follow the news, or subscribe to this website, or have heard about it somewhere else, you will get your chance to catch-up on all the latest council business here. In January, the council year got started early with an emergency meeting to respond to the sudden cancellation of a daytime shelter program. No one saw it coming, but that was the case with a lot of the most difficult issues at the council table. From the plan to speed up development downtown, to the crunch over ice time at rec facilities, to the options for traffic calming around town, council had some tough debates and made some tougher decisions.  So let's recap the events at council so far this year on this edition of the Guelph Politicast! Stay on top of council coverage every week by following @adamadonaldson on Blue Sky and by subscribing to the Guelph Politico Tip Sheet newsletter. The Thursday edition is the recap of that week's council meeting.  The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

We know we are supposed to get baptized, but does it matter where it happens?

Ever read something Jesus said and thought… wait, was that supposed to make sense? One young listener asks why Jesus seemed to intentionally confuse people in Mark 4, and it turns out she's stumbled onto one of the hardest passages in the Gospels. Kaitlyn and Mike dig into the parable of the sower, Jesus' surprising quote from Isaiah, and whether God actually wants some people not to understand. They also wrestle with a tension many of us feel: why doesn't God just make everything clearer? The answer has less to do with intelligence and more to do with relationship, trust, and timing.   0:00 - Theme Song   1:15 - Why Does Jesus Confuse People?   2:45 - Mark 4   10:19 - Old Testament God   18:44 - Sponsor - Blueland - For 15% off first order of Blueland cleaning products, go to this link: https://www.blueland.com/CURIOUSLY   20:00 - Sponsor - Blissy - Pure mulberry silk pillow cases—hypoallergenic, naturally cooling, and recommended by dermatologists!

BGMania B-Sides #44 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth takes us into the pixel-crafted world of Tiny Thor, a retro-inspired platformer that blends classic 16-bit charm with surprisingly modern design sensibilities. What starts as a colorful, almost playful journey quickly reveals itself to be a tightly tuned experience, where precision, momentum, and mastery of Thor's iconic hammer become the key to pushing forward. It's a game that feels nostalgic on the surface, but underneath, it's constantly asking more of you. That same duality carries straight into the soundtrack. Bright, energetic melodies immediately pull you in, evoking that golden-era platforming feel, but there's a sharpness to the composition that keeps everything from feeling too safe or predictable. Driving rhythms, punchy synth leads, and clever use of space give each track a sense of motion, like the music itself is ricocheting alongside Thor's hammer. It's playful without being lightweight, and technical without losing its sense of fun, creating a score that feels right at home in both the past and the present. Email the show at bgmaniapodcast@gmail.com with requests for upcoming episodes, questions, feedback, comments, concerns, or any other thoughts you'd like to share! Special thanks to our Executive Producers: Jexak, Xancu, Jeff & Mike.

If your dog goes to heaven, will she see Jesus as a dog? Kaitlyn and Mike explore what the Bible actually says about animals, God's care for creation, and whether the pets we love might be part of the new creation. They tackle why Jesus became human and why that particular, embodied humanity still matters today. The conversation leads to a bigger question many adults quietly assume: is Jesus whoever we want him to be?

Most of us assume angels rank above humans in the great cosmic hierarchy. But angels, for all their mystery and power, lack two essential parts of what it means to be human: a physical body and the kind of covenant relationship with God that shapes our story. Kaitlyn takes up the simple question of whether angels are boys or girls and uses it to draw out the deeper differences between angels and humans and how these differences point us back to the astonishing claim at the heart of Scripture: that embodied, relational humanity holds a uniquely honored place in God's creation.   0:00 - Theme Song   1:08 - Angels in the Bible   8:26 - Do Angels Have Bodies?   13:34 - Sponsor - Hiya Health - Go to https://www.hiyahealth.com/CURIOUSLY to receive 50% off your first order   15:01 - Sponsor - With & For: Psychology and Spirituality for Thriving Podcast.

Did God choose you or did you choose God? Kaitlyn tackles one of Christianity's most debated questions, predestination vs. free will, exploring what the Bible says about God's sovereignty, human choice, and how believers have wrestled with holding both together for centuries.

Kaitlyn and Mike wrestle with biblical stories, common misconceptions about Greek and Hebrew word studies, and the difference between fear that drives us away from God and fear that draws us closer. They also explore how a healthy fear of God can free us from fear of people, power, and politics and why that paradox might actually be good news.   0:00 - Theme Song   3:11 - Fear as Respect?   8:23 - Power is Frightening   16:15 - Sponsor - With & For: Psychology and Spirituality for Thriving Podcast.

We think the after life will be perfect in every way, but that is not the picture that Scripture paints.  From Eden to new creation, Kaitlyn and Mike explore why scripture calls creation "good" instead of "perfect," why only God has perfection, and why eternal life won't be static, boring, or frozen in place. Instead, it's a future of growth, learning, and flourishing—far better than the perfection we imagine now.   0:00 - Theme Song   0:55 - Should the Word Be Used to Describe Something on Earth?   3:35 - Was Eden perfect?   12:48 - Sponsor - With & For: Psychology and Spirituality for Thriving Podcast.

Why do Christians bow their heads when they pray? Is it just tradition, a way to avoid distraction, or does our posture actually shape our faith? Kaitlyn and Producer Mike explore where bowing came from, how the Bible depicts it, what the early church thought about prayer posture, and how our bodies help form our hearts. Also in the episode: feudal hand gestures, sugar glider onesies, and why distracted prayers might not be something to feel guilty about after all. 0:00 - Theme Song   2:25 - Why Do We Bow Our Heads?   5:32 - Bowing in the Bible   12:32 - World Relief - Join The Path to help vulnerable people   14:15 - Is God in front of us?   22:10 - Trusting God's Love   29:42 - Summing it Up   31:14 - End Credits

It's mailbag time! Kaitlyn and Mike field your questions about faith and works, why churches sometimes prioritize nursery duty over community outreach, and how to move beyond the "Bible in a Year" grind. They talk salvation as allegiance, children as the church's shared responsibility, and creative ways to stay rooted in Scripture without treating it like a daily vitamin.   0:00 - Theme Song   1:25 - Is Salvation a Gift?   6:33 - What Did Paul Mean by "Work Out Your Salvation?"   12:02 - Sponsor - Blueland - For 15% off first order of Blueland cleaning products, go to this link: https://www.blueland.com/CURIOUSLY   13:27 - Should churches focus on outreach or inreach?   22:20 - How to Read the Bible Beyond Daily Reading   31:32 - End Credits

How can we have a personal relationship with God, when we do all the talking? How can Christians talk honestly about heaven and the afterlife without oversimplifying or confusing people? And why does Scripture sometimes show God responding with judgment and other times with surprising mercy? Kaitlyn lets the grown ups have a turn asking their questions, and they don't disappoint! She tackle these questions and explores grief, repentance, mystery, and what it looks like to trust God's character when easy answers fall short.   0:00 - Theme Song   3:35 - Wanting to Hear From God   14:21 - Sponsor - Hiya Health - Go to https://www.hiyahealth.com/CURIOUSLY to receive 50% off your first order   16:31 - The Afterlife   21:50 - How Does God Respond to Evil?   34:22 - End Credits

Last weekend was filled with terrible news, including a mass shooting in Australia, another at Brown University, and the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife. Mike Erre joins Phil and Skye to discuss these events and why rediscovering the biblical practice of lament is better than just "thoughts and prayers." The Catholic Church has taken a nuanced and principled position on the deportation of immigrants. Why do evangelicals find that so difficult? Then John Ortberg talks with Skye about his latest book, which applies the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous to Christian spiritual formation. It's called "Steps: A guide to transforming your life when willpower isn't enough." Also this week, the U.K. is building a giant Möbius strip for God.

Two writers from the New York Times say the liberal values that have flooded our culture with online gambling, pornography, and cannabis have backfired, but secular progressives, like Ezra Klein, admit that they don't have a framework for explaining why. Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss the benefits and limitations of liberalism as a political and social philosophy, and why those on the left are increasingly aware of their need for religion. Matthew Soerens from World Relief is back to discuss why the Trump administration's immigration policies are so different in his second term, how the President's ever-changing rhetoric is causing chaos, and why America is accepting the collective punishment of immigrants. Also this week, raccoons are on a mission to be the pets of the future.

The government of Israel has been criticized for building fences in Gaza and the West Bank, but now it's geofencing American churches. Will its plan reverse the decline of evangelical support for the Jewish state? Donald Trump says he's making the country more Christian, but data shows his immigration policy favors secular immigrants and rejects Christians. Rich Villodas is back to talk about his new book for Advent, "Waiting for Jesus." He says we should use this season to resist consumerism, commercialism, and Christian culturalism. Also this week, a giant flightless parrot has issues Down Under.
