This week on End Credits, you're going to join us on an adventure. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go with us on another globetrotting, death-defying sojourn with Tom Cruise and the gang in Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, and we will also rewind to the very first movie in the series and talk about our lifetime of impossible missions! This Wednesday, May 28, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: In the Beginning... Before getting into the latest Mission, the eighth, it seems fitting to go back and look at episode one. The year was 1996, Mission: Impossible was Tom Cruise's first effort as a producer, and Brian De Palma was hired to bring it to the screen as director. It's hard to look back at that first Mission and see what the franchise ended up being 30 years later, but that's what we'll do before launching into the new one! MOVIE REVIEW: Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025). It's all be leading to this... Quite literally. The eighth Mission: Impossible movie aims to not only pay off all the plot laid out in the previous movie, Dead Reckoning (Part One), but to also be the capstone to 30 years of Mission: Impossible movies. Tom Cruise returns - "one last time", we're told - to kick ass and save the world from a fiendish A.I. and the Machiavelli forces that want to control it. But with so much at sake, can this Mission possibly get accomplished? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we finally embrace summer!.. movie season. We're struggling to get summer-like weather outdoors, but conditions are hot in the movie theatre now that Summer Movie Season is officially here and it starts with the movie we're reviewing this week, Thunderbolts*. What else is coming? We're going to talk about that too! This Wednesday, May 7, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Summer Movie Preview Part 2. Obviously, we did a sequel. There were so many unanswered questions from last week's first part of the Summer Movie Preview like what's coming out in July and August? So this week, we will pick up where we left off by talking about the rest of the summer movie slate including more superheroes, some romance, some dinosaurs, and at least one instance where a serious actor tries slapstick! REVIEW: Thunderbolts* (2025). The Marvel Cinematic Universe. Have you heard of it? It's seen better days, and you can call it over saturation or call it a creative lull, but what the MCU really needs right now is a winner. So here come the losers! Thunderbolts* follows a group of black ops agents - the ones who exist between heroism and villainy - and asks the question, why not us? Led by indie darlings Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan, can the Thunderbolts stage the superhero comeback the industry needs right now? We'll see. End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we're on our phones. No, we're not being rude and using our phones in the movie theatre - we're not savages! - but this week's movie is about what happens when bad guys spend too much time on *your* phone. Don't meme yourself because we're checking out Drop and in that spirit, we're going to talk about other times tech has gone wrong!  This Wednesday, April 9, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Tech Gone Bad. This week's movie features a premise where a smart phone is used to taunt a woman into doing something sinister. Technology can be used to do great things, but it can also be used to do some very bad things and in honour of the release of Drop we will drop other titles where technology leads to some very bad outcomes for both people and the world at large, and we're not just talking about horror movies or Terminators! REVIEW: Drop (2025). First dates are hard enough, but imagine being a widow on your first date after your husband's untimely (and unnatural) death and your phone starts going off with threats from an anonymous person: Kill your date or your little boy and your sister die! Christopher Landon, the filmmaker behind Happy Death Day and Freaky, puts White Lotus season two star Meghann Fahy through her paces in modern take on a classically Hitchcock affair, but can Drop get the drop on two cynical movie reviewers? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we get bad. Cue the Inner Circle music because we're heading back to the Halcyon days of the mid-90s to revisit a couple of bad boys. And then, in the here and now, we're going to talk about people behaving badly in the name of patriotic service with the new spy thriller Black Bag. God save the King and the movie-going audience!  This Wednesday, March 26, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Bad Boys at 30! Could you have imagined that when Bad Boys came out three decade ago that we'd still be cranking out Bad Boys movies in the 2020s? Probably not. Bad Boys didn't look like a movie that would stand the test of time, another dumb buddy cop action movie, but it launched Will Smith to superstardom, Michael Bay to blank cheque status, and it became a franchise of surprising longevity. Today, we go back to the beginning. REVIEW: Black Bag (2025). What if Steven Soderbergh took Mr. and Mrs. Smith seriously, but not, like, too seriously...? That kind of seems like the pitch for Black Bag, a spy thriller about married spies played by Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett where a man must determine whether his beloved wife is traitor, or whether it's one of their frenemies in the agency. It's high stakes, but done with the same Soderbergh light touch as his Ocean's 11 movies, so do we black bag Black Bag, or should all of you open the bag and dive in! End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we can't stop doing the monkey! Not the dance, but the movie of the same name that has been winning fans at cinemas all around the country these last couple of weeks. So yes, we're talking about The Monkey, and we're also going to be talking about the life and movies of another Hollywood icon!  This Wednesday, March 5, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: For Gene. While the circumstances of his passing still has many unanswered questions, there's no doubt that Gene Hackman is one of the greatest actors ever to grace the silver screen. From The French Connection to Unforgiven to The Royal Tenenbaums, Hackman's legacy has been secured, and that's not bad for the guy his classmates at the Pasadena Playhouse called "least likely to succeed". To start this week, we honour Gene. REVIEW: The Monkey (2025). The Monkey represents a horror trifecta: It's based on a story by Stephen King, produced by James Wan, and directed by Longlegs filmmaker Osgood Perkins. Perkins' success last year with Longlegs established himself as cinematic stylist and he brings all his skills to bear on this story about a cursed toy monkey that brings a swift and terrible death to the people around it. But The Monkey is actually a comedy too, which is not always an easy needle to thread, so has Perkins delivered the blood and gut(buster)s? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we celebrate this holiday of love with a movie about fights! If you're looking for something to watch with a sweetheart, and you don't want some soapy rom-com, you can always check out Love Hurts, and we'll talk about why (not?). Our topic will accompany the star of that film who once appeared in another more famous movie! This Wednesday, February 12, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Goonies Never Stay 'Unemployed'! The movie we're reviewing this week features Ke Huy Quan, who was one of the young cast members of a movie called The Goonies, which turns 40 years old this year. Many of the cast members are still working in the business, and they've all starred in some very interesting and distinctive projects. To begin this week's show, we will talk about some of those other efforts since Goonies are still employable! REVIEW: Love Hurts (2025). Ke Huy Quan was a successful actor when he was a kid, but as an adult he made a living in the industry as a fight choreographer before making a big comeback with Everything Everywhere All at Once. Quan combines both worlds in Love Hurts, a new film from 87North, makers of the John Wick films, which follows a former hit man who gets sucked back into his old life on Valentine's Day when his unrequited love (played by Ariana DeBose) returns. So Love Hurts, but does watching the movie hurt? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits there's a blast from the past and a sign of the times. Our movie today is a timeless story about someone who feels like the world has passed them by, and it features someone you might have forgotten. We will be checking out Pamela Anderson's return in The Last Showgirl and we will be saying goodbye to a real cinematic original!  This Wednesday, January 22, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: David Lynch. Last week came the bad news that David Lynch passed away, a director so iconoclastic that an entire enigmatic style was named after him. You can't describe what makes a film "Lynchian" but you know it when you see it, and you've definitely seen it whether you know it or not. So to begin this week, we will say a very fond farewell to Lynch by talking about some of his finest works, at least of the feature film variety. REVIEW: The Last Showgirl (2024). Oscar hopeful Pamela Anderson?! This is the movie that may actually make it happen. Anderson was an icon of the 90s thanks to her starring role in Baywatch and her status as a sex symbol, but you haven't heard from her lately. That all has changed with The Last Showgirl, a movie by a Coppola no less (Francis Ford's granddaughter Gia), which follows the last days of an old fashioned nude revue in Las Vegas and the lost souls who perform it every night. Might The Last Showgirl usher in Anderson, the Oscar nominee? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, it's the first day of a new year! Let us celebrate in the time honoured tradition (of the last seven years) of marking the best movies of previous year! Yes, it is time again to take a year-full of cinema and whittle it down to the five best films from the last 12 month. You know it, you love it, and now we talk about the Best of 2024! This Wednesday, January 1, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Tim Phillips, Peter Salmon, and Candice Lepage will discuss: The Best of 2024! It was looking a little rough there at the beginning of the year... There was a movie about a killer swimming pool, and wasn't there a movie about a psychic leading a group of Spider-Women? So it's safe to say that neither of those movies will make our Top 5 of 2024 lists, but that doesn't mean that there won't be any shortage of surprises as we count down the best movies of the year. On this first day of 2025, we will send off 2024 by talking about it's greatest hits with red rooms, old asses, sand, self-reliance and more! End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

Who is Jacques Derrida? For some, he is the originator of a relativist philosophy responsible for the contemporary crisis of truth. For the far right, he is one of the architects of Cultural Marxism. To his academic critics, he reduced French philosophy to “little more than an object of ridicule.” For his fans, he is an intellectual rock star who ranged across literature, politics, and linguistics. In An Event, Perhaps (Verso, 2020), Peter Salmon presents this misunderstood and misappropriated figure as a deeply humane and urgent thinker for our times. Born in Algiers, the young Jackie was always an outsider. Despite his best efforts, he found it difficult to establish himself among the Paris intellectual milieu of the 1960s. However, in 1967, he changed the whole course of philosophy: outlining the central concepts of deconstruction. Immediately, his reputation as a complex and confounding thinker was established. Feted by some, abhorred by others, Derrida had an exhaustive breadth of interests but, as Salmon shows, was moved by a profound desire to understand how we engage with each other. It is a theme explored through Derrida's intimate relationships with writers such even as Althusser, Genet, Lacan, Foucault, Cixous, and Kristeva. Accessible, provocative and beautifully written, An Event, Perhaps will introduce a new readership to the life and work of a philosopher whose influence over the way we think will continue long into the twenty-first century. Peter Salmon is an Australian writer living in the UK. His first novel, The Coffee Story, was a New Statesman Book of the Year. He has written for the Guardian, the New Humanist, the Sydney Review of Books and Tablet, as well as Australian TV and radio. Formerly Centre Director of the Jon Osborne/The Hurst Arvon Centre, he also teaches creative writing. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube Channel. Twitter.

This week on End Credits, we wish you a Merry Christmas! To celebrate this annual occasion, we will do things Jigsaw-style by playing a little game. No one's going to die - hopefully - but there will be lots of bragging rights up for grabs as your four favourite cinephiles, and a special guest, hang their holiday favourites with care as we undertake another movie draft. This Wednesday, December 25, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Tim Phillips, Peter Salmon, Candice Lepage, and special guest Jen Barson will discuss: The Christmas Movie Draft! What day is it? Why it's Christmas Day! And we decided to wrap up something special for that difficult time between opening presents and waiting for the turkey to be served: The original End Credits Christmas Movie Draft! The entire gang is here, plus Jen Barson from Guelph Fringe Festival, to discuss their favourite holiday movies from six carefully selected categories. From the classics you love to some surprising revelations from the bowels of Tubi, we will stuff your stocking with some cool flicks, and maybe some Hot Frosties... End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we're hunting for content. In this last regular edition of the show for 2024, we're going to put on our favourite animal skins and run wild on what might be the biggest bomb of the year, and that's really saying something. We're reviewing Kraven The Hunter, and we're also going to look ahead to greener cinematic pastures in 2025!  This Wednesday, December 18, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The Best of 2025? So 2024 isn't even over yet, and we're already talking about the Best of 2025?! Not quite. There will be a whole year of movies in the next 12 months, and we probably won't be able to see them all, so we're going to get some of the organising done early by talking about some of the movies we're looking forward to seeing in the next 12 months. From a return to a zombie apocalypse, to what may be the last Mission, we'll check in with 2025! REVIEW: Kraven The Hunter (2024). It's been a dry year for superhero movies, but there's one last stop at the oasis before we get to a veritable super-buffet in 2025. Have you heard of Kraven? He's a Spider-Man villain who's perhaps most famous for a storyline literally called "Kraven's Last Hunt", but someone at Sony Pictures thought he sounded like a pretty cool guy worthy of his own movie. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who's already gotten a taste of superhero life, got his body in fighting shape, but is this movie worth hunting for at the holiday box office season? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we go on a Roman Holiday! Not the movie, but a trip backwards in time to the original Rome, the imperial one with insane emperors doing dirt and the only honour you can find is killing for sport. It's time for Gladiator II, and to bring this episode full circle, we're going to talk about the movie that inspired the other big release this week. This Wednesday, November 27, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The Wizard of Oz at 85! Last weekend's release of Wicked is perfectly timed consider this year marks the 85th birthday of Victor Fleming's iconic musical based on the L. Frank Baum book. A Hollywood classic by any objective measurement, Oz has been the source of many hours of enjoyment, plus many sources for urban legends and stories about a cursed production. So looking back nearly 100 years later, does The Wizard still have the magic? REVIEW: Gladiator II (2024). "What we do in life, echoes in eternity." And if it helps, make a sequel! Nearly 25 years after the release of the original Gladiator, Ridley Scott returns to Rome where another warrior is beaten, enslaved, and turned into a Colosseum warrior looking to seize his perch for a chance at revenge. This time, your titular Gladiator is Paul Mescal, and caught between the conflicted Pedro Pascal and the duplicitous Denzel Washington we only have one question going into today's show: Are we not entertained?! End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we're praying, and we think our prayers were answer (?) What we wanted in these difficult times was an election where maybe the good guys win, and perhaps we got that with the movie Conclave, which is about the surprising politics of choosing a new pope. And speaking of popes, we will talk about other men and women of God... in the movies. This Wednesday, November 6, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: God Bless the Movies. Faith is an interesting topic for the movies, and it can be interpreted through just about any genre. There are deeply serious dramas about people of faith, there's an entire comedy franchises built around the idea that God is a funny old man, and you can't really talk about religious movies without reference the entire exorcism subgenre. So before getting to this week's religiously-themed movie, we will talk about some of the others. REVIEW: Conclave (2024). This week's movie is about a bunch of men who are each trying to undermine and outmanoeuvre each other as they vie to become one of the most powerful leaders of the world: The new pope. Edward Berger follows up his Oscar-winning All Quiet on the Western Front with a different kind of warfare: Can a good man be the head of the world's one billion Catholics. Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci lead a talented cast through the most important election of their lifetimes. But how do we like going along for the ride? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we mark Devil's Night. Our new favourite holiday! In honour of this year's end-of-October commemorations, and perhaps to offer some relief from the sturm und drang of modern living, we present a festival of fear! A celebration of screams, if you will! So settle in as we summon the scares because this is Halloween! This Wednesday, October 30, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Tim Phillips, Peter Salmon, Candice Lepage, and special guest Mike Ashkewe will discuss: Halloween/Horror Movie Draft. It's the most wonderful time of the year... For some. So it's to those people that we dedicate this special episode of the show, the Halloween/Horror Movie Draft. The entire gang is here, plus a special guest ringer, to put the season in proper perspective by talking about our favourite horror movies in a set of six carefully selected categories. Join us as we talk about all the monsters, mayhem, killers and cadavers that make this time of the year so special, right up to the granddaddy of the them all... End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm. Photo courtesy of Trancas International.

This week on End Credits we send in the clowns! Of course, these aren't regular clowns, they are clown princes. There are also not good clowns, they are criminals. In fact, you might call them the Clown Princes of Crime! Yes, we're sending in the clowns, and we're ranking and reviewing them. We're doing Joker: Folie à Deux and we're ranking all the Jokers! This Wednesday, October 2, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The Jokers are Wild! The Joker was introduced in the very first issue of Batman in 1940, and has become the most iconic, and most revisited comic book villain in movie history, he's even been the star of his own movie (and its sequel). So this week, before we talk about the new Joker, we're going to take a few minutes and rank all the Jokers. From Cesar Romero to Barry Keoghan, we will talk about which Jokers are the wildest! REVIEW: Joker: Folie à Deux (2024). He's back! Joker was a surprising smash hit in 2019, an R-rated comic book movie that didn't look, act or feel like a comic book movie and it made a billion dollars at the box office and won 11 Academy Award nominations. Five year's later, Joaquin Phoenix is putting on the clown make up again, and this time he's singing and dancing with Lady Gaga as his Harley Quinn. So, can director Todd Phillips (not *Tim* Phillips) find that Joker magic again, or is the last laugh on us in the audience?  End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits we're going to fight the power! Get ready for another mashing of action and social justice as a former Marine hands out a lesson in justice in unexpected ways in Rebel Ridge on Netflix. For the rest of the show, we're going to tackle something funnier, and goofier, a fellow Canadian who made a very big splash 30 years ago with three comedic hits! This Wednesday, September 18, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Jim Class Hero. Thirty years ago, Jim Carrey went from second banana on In Living Color to one of the biggest movie starts in Hollywood with a hattrick of big comedy hits. This week, we will revisit Ace Venture: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber and we will look at the ways they still hold up, the ways these films feel dated now, and why Carrey ended up riding them to become a superstar and Hollywood's first $20 million man! REVIEW: Rebel Ridge (2024). You may have heard of civil asset forfeiture, or you may have seen the episode of Last Week Tonight about it. For his new movie, director Jeremy Saulnier decided to make this American civil rights issue his focus by telling the story of a former Marine who comes to small Louisiana town to bail out his cousin only to have the local cops seize the bail money. What follows is a tried and true movie formula: a stranger rides into town and cleans up corruption, but do you think Green Room director Saulnier would so something that straight forward? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we're back! Well rested after summer vacation, we're going to spend this first episode back going to movie jail, or rather a movie set at a jail. Join us as we journey to Sing Sing and an early contender for best picture of the year, and there's about to be a lot of competition for that title because Fall Movie Season is here, and we'll preview it. This Wednesday, August 7, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Fall Movie Preview. Okay, so it's been a lacklustre year at the movies so far, but that's about to change because Fall is here! With the biggest film festivals gearing up, and awards season coming into view, studios and distributors have been saving some of their best bets for the last four months of the year. From passion projects, to nostalgic runs, and some blockbuster returns, we will talk about the anticipated hits of Fall 2024! REVIEW: Sing Sing (2024). At New York's notorious Sing Sing prison, there's a program called Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA), a theatre troupe made up of the inmates there. Yes, Greg Kwedar's new film is based on a true story, but it also features some of the men that lived it. Led by Coleman Domingo, the cast of RTA grads tell their story as they mount an original production, balancing the humanizing power of the arts and the dehumanizing conditions of prison. So is the play the thing that makes a good movie in the case of Sing Sing? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we're thinking about stormy weather! About a week after a major storm washed out so many parts of Ontario, including the Pergola Galaxy Cinemas here in Guelph, we're going to take things up a notch with Twisters. And on the subject of weather and the movies, we will talk about some other movies about the weather. This Wednesday, July 24, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Weather Flap. The movie of the week leads to a rather obvious pre-review discussion. There are a lot of movies about the weather, or movies where the weather has a major influence on the plot, and while it my not be obvious, not all of those movies are based in disasters. That brings us to this week's show, where between the snow, and the rain, and the floods we will talk about our favourite movies inspired by the weather. Twisters (2024). It shouldn't be surprising that someone would want to make a sequel to Twister, the 1996 smash about tornado chasers in Oklahoma. It's kinda surprising that we're getting it almost 30 years later, but if there's ever been a good time for a tornado movie, it's now! Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell replace Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton leading a new generation of chasers through tornado ally on a quest for science and thrills. The formula is solid, but can this team catch... (ahem) lightning in a bottle?! End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

We are back with a favourite topic of ours we will always go far out of our way to dissect and ramble on - the awkward growing pains of CGI animation. We've entered the mid-2000s and what we are calling CGI's "scene kid years" with Jane and The Dragon. A beloved children's book adapted by two veritable titans of the film industry: our beloved Nelvana with their noted pedigree in CGI animation, and Wētā Workshop who is best known for their work on Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings franchise. How did this six degrees of separation between Nelvana's Donkey Kong Country and Gollum come about? And how is it so solid and charming? Episode covered for the podcast was Episode 23 "Dragon's Egg." Written by Ann MacNaughton. Animation Directed by series director Mike Fallows (with motion-capture work directed by Peter Salmon). Original airdate July 22, 2006.

This week on End Credits, we're going back to the turn of the millennium, or do we mean the Willennium? For those of you who remember the turn of the century have we got a treat for you! Remember 1999? A lot of great movies came out that year, and some people think that it might be the one of the best for the breadth and variety of projects, so this week. we'll draft them! This Wednesday, July 17, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Tim Phillips, Candice Lepage and Peter Salmon will discuss: The 1999 Movie Draft. Now halfway to episode #400, we pause to hold a very special movie draft. Exactly 25 years ago, we were halfway through what's come to be known in some quarters as the "Best Movie Year Ever". This week, the whole gang is here to draft the great films of that year, from a cyberspace dystopia to a Shakespeare comedy in high school to the mockumentary about a scary witch in the forests of Maryland. This week, we're going to party like it's... you-know-what. Cue the Prince! End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we take a ride. With the long weekend coming it's a good time to get out on your bike whether it's motorized or not, and for this episode of the show we're going to head out with the gang in The Bikeriders. But the ride only ends there, we get things started in Beverly Hills with three movies about a Detroit Cop who can't stay out of their business. This Wednesday, June 26, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Run the Series: Beverly Hills Cop. In 1984, fresh off a stint "saving" Saturday Night Live, Eddie Murphy was cast in a project once intended to be a Sylvester Stallone vehicle. Directed by Martin Breast, Beverly Hills Cop was an instant success, and solidified Murphy's star status spawning two sequels with a third coming out next week on Netflix. But first, we will look back and run the series on the original Beverly Hills Cop trilogy. REVIEW: The Bikeriders (2024). If there's a movie genre aside from the western that activates a real sense of nostalgic Americana it's the motorcycle movie. In The Bikeriders, filmmaker Jeff Nichols captures that feeling, looking at a decade in the life of a motorcycle gang in the Midwest as they evolve from a social club into something a little more... sinister. Austin Butler, no stranger to a sense of Americana after his Oscar nom for Elvis, leads a stacked cast as they ride through various trials and tribulations, but is it an easy ride or a hard one? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we're being careful about what we're pretending to be. Sly references to Vonnegut aside, things aren't quite that serious today as this episode tackles the lies we tell when we fall in love while pretending to be a contract killer in Hit Man. But the fun doesn't stop there because we're going to Tatooine and back with a return visit to the galaxy far, far away! This Wednesday, June 5, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The Phantom Menace at 25! It took nearly 20 years of waiting but Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace opened in theatres, and it happened now exactly a quarter of a century ago! At the time, the hype was so massive that everyone felt it, but the follow on negging by fans was almost just as massive. It's taken a long time, but the Star Wars prequels are having a renaissance, so how does The Phantom Menace stand now 25 years later? REVIEW: Hit Man (2024). He stole scenes in Top Gun: Maverick, and he stole Sydney Sweeney's heart in Anyone But You, so with this much heat there's only one thing that Glen Powell could do: Play a nebbish college prof turned pretend hit man in a Richard Linklater movie. But don't get us wrong, it turns out that there's lots of heat in Hit Man as Powell gets in way over his head and falls in love with a woman that tries to hire him to wack her abusive husband. Can these two Texas boys - Linklater and Powell - put a little rom-com spice in our summer movie viewing? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we put up our dukes! Join us as we celebrate violence with three movies that we've reviewed recently, all of which taught us again and again that sometimes all it takes fix things is to break stuff. So stop, stretch, and line-up your knuckles because when we get into this week, we really get into. Let them fight! This Wednesday, May 22, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Tim Phillips, Peter Salmon, and Candice Lepage will discuss: Fight Movies! Sometimes you've just got to punch something. That's not the message we got in preschool, but it is a message that we sometimes get from the movies. This week, we're going to revisit some movies that show us the best way to solve problems - whether that's family dysfunction, shady real estate developers, or international crime syndicates - is by punching the hell of it. Whether it's the sisters of Polite Society, the bouncers of Road House, or the Equalizer in The Equalizer 3, we will come back to the idea that violence *does* solve problems! End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we learn from the best! There's been a lot talk in the last few years about there being nothing good at the movie theatre anymore, but as a dedicated listener of this show, you know that's not true and to prove it, we will dedicate this week's episode to some of the best movies we've seen so far this year at the cinema, though you can now get them at home. This Wednesday, May 15, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Tim Phillips, Peter Salmon, and Candice Lepage will discuss: Good Movies from 2024! It's only the fifth month of the year, and there's already been a bunch of great movies that might fit on anyone's best of the year list. This week, we will go back to Arrakas, join two women on a crime spree, and enjoy some perfect days as we clean some of the most beautiful public toilets that you've ever seen. Yes, we're going to go back in time and revisit our past reviews featuring some of the best films we've seen so far this year. Cue up the wayback machine, and by that we mean the premium VOD channel of your choice! End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we work on our serve. Summer is here, so we have thoughts about getting outside and getting involved in sports, and romance (?) The two are combined in the new film Challengers, which was the number one film at the box office last weekend. And speaking of summer, it unofficially begins this weekend in theatres. Stand by for a preview! This Wednesday, May 1, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Summer 2024 Movie Preview! For the first time since 2006 (excluding the pandemic), the summer movie season begins with a film that's not a Marvel movie. The Summer Movie Season officially begins this Friday with The Fall Guy, a straight-up action comedy starring Ryan Gosling, which is emblematic of what might the most uncertain movie slate of any summer in decades. Still, it looks like there will be some bangers, and we will seek them out! REVIEW: Challengers (2024). Is Zendaya a movie star? Sure, she's a BFD to the Disney Channel set 10 years ago, and then she graduated to big franchises like Spider-Man and Dune, but can she hold court (heh) as one point in a romantic triangle in a big, old-fashioned Hollywood love story. The answer is in Challengers, the latest movie from Luca Guadagnino. Set against competitive world of tennis, Challengers followers three players caught between love, sex, ego, money, competition, and status. It's a capital 'S' star vehicle for Zendaya, but do we want to take the ride? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, it's the Year of the Monkey! Well, technically it's not the year of the monkey for another four year, so maybe it's the week of the monkey, and a year for revenge!! On this show, we're going to review the new action thriller Monkey Man, which is all about revenge fights, and we're going to take a moment to talk about the best movie revenge fights so far! This Wednesday, April 10, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Best Served Cold. Monkey Man is a tale of revenge, but so are a lot of movies. They say that the best revenge is living well, but most of the time it seems that the best revenge is fighting as many guys as possible between you and the source of your betrayal. Before getting into Monkey Man, we will talk about other movies were the best revenge is not served cold, it's served with a kick-ass fight and lots of over the top and sometimes gratuitous violence! REVIEW: Monkey Man (2024). Rescued from the ash bin of the Netflix algorithm by Jordan Peele, Dev Patel's directorial debut Monkey Man is now in theatres everywhere. The story follows a man seeking revenge on the corrupt police chief that murdered his mother, which leads him into the deep rot of India's political and societal systems that keep the people under thumb. It's been, perhaps unfairly, described as "John Wick in India" but it's been impossible to not admire Patel and his vision, especially as a first-time filmmaker. But did it work for us? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we're going to get swoll! Prepare to enter the exciting world of bodybuilding and queer romance in the late 1980s with the new neo-noir movie Love Lies Bleeding, and for all the K-Stew fans out there, we will pay tribute to your favourite actress' career by talking about some of her greatest hits! This Wednesday, March 6, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The Taming of the K-Stew. Kristen Stewart has been in the movie-making business for the 25 years now, and while most people know her from the big stuff like the Twilight films, and her Oscar-nominated turn in Spencer, she's actually had a lot of different roles in a lot of different kinds of movies. Before we get into Stewart's new film, we will talk about some of her old ones, which Stewart performances are among her best after her first quarter-century in the biz? REVIEW: Live Lies Bleeding (2024). Not to be confused with Drive-Away Dolls, another period movie about lesbians caught up in some criming, Love Lies Bleeding embraces its film noir roots for all its heartache and violence and fatalism. Bodybuilder Jackie arrives in town and meets gym manager Lou, and just when they think they might escape and find happiness together, they realize that they're both bound by a dark fate, and the dark criminal underbelly of their border town. So do we love Love Lies Bleeding, or do want we let it bleed? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, the movies are back! Obviously, they never went away, but after a fairly dry year at the movie theatre so far, boy we're we back last weekend with the arrival of the the long-awaited second chapter of Dune! If that's not exciting enough for you, there are some huge movie awards being given out next weekend, and we're very excited to talk about them! This Wednesday, March 6, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Flight of the Awards. The Oscars are coming! The 96th annual Academy Awards ceremony is this weekend, and it almost goes without saying that this is going to be a big weekend for Oppenheimer. All the odds-makers are saying it's a good bet that Christopher Nolan's hit about the father of the atomic bomb is the one to beat, and it's been pretty unbeatable this awards season indeed. We'll talk about whether those odds will hold and the other bets around this year's Oscars. REVIEW: Dune Part Two (2024). When we last left Dune, Paul Atreides and his mother had found sanctuary with the Fremen, the indigenous population of the planet Arrakis , and now Paul must decide whether to embrace his destiny as their saviour even if that means starting a holy war that sets fire to the universe. If may look like your standard big-budget, Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster, but Denis Villeneuve doesn't do conventional, and Dune's not your average cinema spectacle, so after a gangbusters opening weekend, we're going to talk about our thoughts about Dune: Part Two. End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we're on the road again. The last few weeks of winter hardly seems like a good time for a road trip, but maybe that's the point. It's time to get in the car and drive with the Drive-Away Dolls and our old friend Ethan Coen, but before that we will talk about all the movies they aren't entirely sure they want you to see as we reach the end of "Dumpuary." This Wednesday, February 28, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Dumpuary Jones. We've reached the end of February (though technically nearly the end because it's a leap year), which also means it's the end of "Dumpuary". It's the time of year where Hollywood studios dump the movies that they think can make some money but are too embarrassed to release in the harsh light of summer or Christmas. So for the first part of the show this week, we will hail some Dumpuary classics both past and present! Drive-Away Dolls (2024). As you may recall, the famous filmmaking fraternity the Coen Brothers are taking a break from each other. A couple of years ago, Joel made The Tragedy of MacBeth, and Ethan made this, a 1999-set road trip comedy about a pair of young women finding themselves on the road to Tallahassee and finding something mysterious and tantalizing in the trunk of their borrowed car. If you like Classic Coens like Raising Arizona or Burn After Reading, you will probably see a lot to recommend in Drive-Away Dolls, but is one Coen Coen enough? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we have cause for celebration. Some how, we've now cranked out 300 episodes of this local movie show for local movie fans, and on this distinguished occasion, we're giving our listeners the present. Congratulations, you are about to listen to the biggest draft any movie show has ever done as we look back at some of our greatest hits! This Wednesday, February 14, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Candice Lepage, Peter Salmon and Tim Phillips will discuss again: 300! Is this is madness? No, this is the 300th episode of the show! It was six years ago this week that we sat down and produced episode one of End Credits. It wasn't the first movie show ever produced, but it was the Guelphiest, and to mark 299 episodes completed so far, we're this week joined by the entire panel for the End Credits 300th Episode Draft! From the some 280-plus reviews done on this show, the cast will each draw five movies from five different categories that represent some of our best memories. This. Is. SPAR-TA!!! End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, it's a Barbie world, and we are Barbie girls! (So to speak). We had to make the proverbial Sophie's Choice when it comes to “Barbenheimer” and we sided on Barbie. We will have our review of that big summer hit, and speaking of summer hits, we will talk about some of the movie news that has made this summer very interesting indeed.  This Wednesday, February 7, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss again: Newsy Much? Obviously, the big news of last weekend was “Barbenheimer”, the arrival of two of the biggest, most unexpected hits of the year, which opened at the same time. But that's not the only thing that's going on. What about the smash success of the highly dubious Sound of Freedom? And what about the fall of so many major franchises at the box office? And aren't their two big Hollywood strikes happening? We'll cover The News! REVIEW: Barbie (2023). In a modern age of studio movies where ideas are almost exclusively derived from successful intellectual property, a movie based on Barbie just makes a lot of sense. But a Barbie movie directed by Greta Gerwig, the godmother of mumblecore? That's something weird enough to get excited about! Barbie may be the big hit of summer, but it got there following the least conventional path. Starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the picture perfect Barbie and Ken, we will look at how Barbie became the unlikeliest hit of the year. End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, things are sombre. Halloween is over, it's the long dull march through November to the official start of the Christmas season, and the serious award-seeking movies are starting to come out. Speaking of which, we're going to talk about one of those movies, Killers of the Flower Moon, and to balance things out, we're also going to talk about some happier times on film. This Wednesday, January 31, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss again: The Feels. Let's be honest, this week has been a lot. The movie we're reviewing is kind of a downer, and with the recent deaths of Piper Laurie, Richard Roundtree, Matthew Perry and others, there's been a lot to be sad about in the pop culture sphere. To fight against all these blue feelings on this first day of November, we're going to talk about the uplifting power of cinema and some of our favourite feel good movies! REVIEW: Killers of the Flower Moon (2023). In the 1920s, oil was discovered under the territory of the Osage people in Oklahoma, which made the Indigenous people there very, very, rich. And then the killings began. Martin Scorsese's magnum opus walks similar ground he's covered before, greedy criminals taking everything they can with brutal violence, but the scale is different as he tackles America's original sin, the genocide of its Indigenous people. There's so much to talk about with Killers of the Flower Moon, including the essential question: Should you see it too? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we're going back to school! At the end of November? Sort of. Our movie of the week takes places at a boarding school where the only magic is the power of human connection and interaction. We're reviewing the new Alexander Payne movie called The Holdovers, which features our man of the week (pictured above) actor Paul Giamatti! This Wednesday, November 22, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: A-Pauled. Our movie this week stars Paul Giamatti, a great actor that has been working over 30  years in the industry including movies, TV and theatre, but he's been fairly under appreciated in his own time. Did you know Giamatti's only ever received one Oscar nomination? You would be totally surprised what it was for if you could remember because it's not the movie you think. Anyway, with all these thoughts about Giamatti, we will dedicate the first part of the show to Paul. REVIEW: The Holdovers (2023). Every year, the students at Barton Academy go home for a two-week holiday, but a few unlucky kids are stuck at school. They're called “The Holdovers”. This year, the hated classics teacher Mr. Hunham (Paul Giamatti) is supervising, but his typical Scrooge-like demeanour is going to be tested by the gifted but troubled “Holdover” Angus, and the head of the school's cafeteria Mary, who's trying to navigate the first Christmas after her son was killed in Vietnam. Can these three lost souls change their fate, and, more importantly, do we care? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we grab our hat and our bullwhip and our leather jacket and head out on one last ride. As we wait for the movie machine to rev up again later this month, we spend this week's show catching up with everyone's favourite archaeologist and adventurer in his two most recent films, both of which are now steaming on your favourite app that starts with a "D". This Wednesday, January 10, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Tim Phillips, Candice Lepage, and Peter Salmon will discuss: Run The Series: Indiana Jones Part 2. We conclude our review of the Indiana Jones series this week by tackling the two 21st century Indiana Jones movies. First up is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the much maligned fourth entry from 2008 that introduced aliens, Russian psychics, and Indy's greaser son Mutt. After that, we're talking about Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the $300 million final(?) entry in the series that was widely seen as a box office disaster. This week, it's the last word on Indiana Jones as we finish our run! End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

In this episode, Xavier Bonilla has a dialogue with Peter Salmon about the life and philosophy of Jacques Derrida. They discuss Derrida's place in philosophy and within deconstructionism, the culture and identity in Derrida's upbringing, and the impact of Husserl, Heidegger, and Levinas on Derrida's philosophical thought. They talk about Derrida's emphasis on language, his interactions with Nietzsche's thought, how he was received in society, his social circle and his enduring legacy.Peter Salmon is a writer and has taught at schools in Liverpool and Cambridge. His work has appeared in The Guardian, The Tablet, and Sydney Review of Books. He is the author of the biography on Jacques Derrida entitled, An Event, Perhaps. You can find his work at his website.

In an historic event, the second Buddha himself Nagarjuna returns from the dead to team up with Jacques Derrida, non-Buddha, perhaps, to take on emptiness. They clash with identity politics. Bump into Jordan Peterson and the misses, and go for a coffee with John Gray. What you say? All of that in a single episode! Yes, dear listener. All of that in a single episode. You are called to enjoy the second part of my extended conversation with Mr Peter Salmon; awesome author of An Event, Perhaps. Added bonus: Episode features a discussion and a moment of hauntology. Pay attention so you don't miss it…at the end. Peter's book An Event, Perhaps: A Biography of Jacques Derrida (Verso, 2021) is currently discounted here.  Matthew O'Connell is a life coach and the host of the The Imperfect Buddha podcast.

Foucault gets a mention, as does Heidegger, as does spiritual enlightenment, mindfulness and spirituality. Our conversation was incomplete. We made plans. This is now the first part of a two part conversation. The second helping is going to be even more Budhistsy. Matthew O'Connell is a life coach and the host of the The Imperfect Buddha podcast.

Our conversation was rich: We tackle Derrida and Buddhism, Derrida and the culture wars, Derrida and practice. Foucault gets a mention, as does Heidegger, as does spiritual enlightenment, mindfulness and spirituality. Our conversation was incomplete. We made plans. This is now the first part of a two part conversation. The second helping is going to be even more Budhistsy. Matthew O'Connell is a life coach and the host of the The Imperfect Buddha podcast.

Who is Jacques Derrida? For some, he is the originator of a relativist philosophy responsible for the contemporary crisis of truth. For the far right, he is one of the architects of Cultural Marxism. To his academic critics, he reduced French philosophy to “little more than an object of ridicule.” For his fans, he is an intellectual rock star who ranged across literature, politics, and linguistics. In An Event, Perhaps (Verso, 2020), Peter Salmon presents this misunderstood and misappropriated figure as a deeply humane and urgent thinker for our times. Born in Algiers, the young Jackie was always an outsider. Despite his best efforts, he found it difficult to establish himself among the Paris intellectual milieu of the 1960s. However, in 1967, he changed the whole course of philosophy: outlining the central concepts of deconstruction. Immediately, his reputation as a complex and confounding thinker was established. Feted by some, abhorred by others, Derrida had an exhaustive breadth of interests but, as Salmon shows, was moved by a profound desire to understand how we engage with each other. It is a theme explored through Derrida's intimate relationships with writers such even as Althusser, Genet, Lacan, Foucault, Cixous, and Kristeva. Accessible, provocative and beautifully written, An Event, Perhaps will introduce a new readership to the life and work of a philosopher whose influence over the way we think will continue long into the twenty-first century.
