One local business that will surely see many loyal fans of cinema coming back is Metro Cinema's Garneau Theatre. Since Covid-19 restrictions began, the Garneau has been relying primarily on virtual screenings, but in the past two weeks we have seen the theatre open up to play Robocop and Terminator 2. The theatre's new capacity operates below 30% of its fire-coded 500 seats and has created 100 social distanced seats that exist in their own pods for groups of up to 5 to enjoy their experience safely while still offering accessible seating pods in the front and side of the theatre. Screenings will be posted 1-2 weeks in advance on their website and through their newsletter. Staff encourage you to show up at least 15-30 minutes prior to your film to secure seating and encourage patrons to purchase their tickets online through their website. For all updates you can visit metrocinema.org Produced by Jarret Kamm.

I got a text from one of my friends and it said "You need to check out Shea Emry" and attached was a TED Talk from him. I knew of Shea from an article I read about his retirement as a CFL linebacker. After being engrossed by what he was saying, I sent Shea an email and he gladly obliged. One of the main reasons I wanted to have the two-time Grey Cup Champ on the show was because he's a been a voice on the positive tenants of keeping your mental health in check, and he was a great example of doing something for people past your professional career. But as you hear him talk, you find out that this is something that Shea was born to do. You'll hear about his life as a young man, his fascinations with axes, his views on locker room talk, and the reason he wanted to create Wellmen, a group for men to find their inner vulnerable primal being. Men Edmonton is hosting a free movie screening of The Mask You Live In, the Representation Project's take on masculinity in the modern world. After the movie we're going to have a panel conversation with four prominent men about masculinity and what it is to be a man. It's going to be hosted by Ryan Jespersen, and going to be held in the Garneau Theatre on April 1st. I'm going to be there, if you're coming let me know, I would love to say hey! I hope to see you there! You can catch me on Twitter and on Instagram @modernmanpod and search me on Facebook.
