Before his challenging new film Nobody's Violence has its North American premiere at TIFF this Friday, September 11th, Quebecois writer-director Denis Cote is here to ponder the unanswerable questions of Michelangelo Antonioni's first English-language feature, Blow-Up and maybe reflect on his own auterist perspective a little. Your genial host Norm Wilner is really glad he gets to do this. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Sarah and I are back for the 30th edition of the Fantasia International Film Festival (July 16th to August 2nd). We have turned our usual post-movie rambling once again into a podcast this year, so welcome to 9to5.cc Goes to Fantasia 2026. Each episode we'll chat about the films we catch, share what we thought and give you honest reviews and opinions of the films we saw. We kick things off with You Are the Film, the North American premiere from Makoto Ueda (the screenwriter of Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes). It's a short, super breezy time-bendy movie that plays with reality in clever ways. We both loved the small-cast energy, the quirky humor, and how it keeps surprising you even after you think you've figured out the rules. Sarah's takeaway about the weird cafe order may be the best part of her review. Sarah checked out Tight Lettuce, a world premiere she caught solo. It's a raw, funny, and sometimes heavy look at a grown son and his dad's complicated relationship, with addiction in the mix. Really strong performances, especially the dad played by Emmanuel Bilodeau. An amazing standout of Quebecois cinema. We recorded the whole thing in our usual back-and-forth style (complete with Clementine barking and forcing a second take). It's loose, honest, and exactly how we talk about movies in real life. So throw the episode on while you're waiting in line or planning your schedule. We've got more films coming soon. Go see some Fantasia. The Fantasia International Film Festival runs from July 16th to August 2nd 2026 at Concordia University. The song during our intro and outro is “Until I Sleep” by Henry Homesweet and is licensed under a Attribution 2.0 UK: England License.

If you haven't seen the photos of the massive crowd that Angine de Poitrine drew at the Jazz Fest last weekend you should do yourself a favour and check them out. I haven't really hear precise estimates of attendance but I think it's easily around 100,000 people based on what I know of the layout and rough capacity. We've talked a little bit about what makes Angine de Poitrine the band of the moment right now and I think their popularity is almost a direct rejection of AI. Something that sounds and looks so different from everything else while still being pretty accessible just pierces through the monoculture slop that seems to be everywhere. These guys rule and I'm glad the world is getting a taste of some weirdo Quebecois culture. Scott talks at length about Rambo: Forces of Freedom which he presumably stumbled up while watching the MAXOUT POWERBLOCK over on YouTube. I love how toy and cartoon adaptations of R-Rated movies were a thing in the 80s and I'm a little bummed we don't see more of that anymore. Where are my Requiem for a Dream animated specials? Why can't I play with my Midsommar playset with real old-people-jumping-off-cliff action? Anyways, over on Garbage Time Jon watched Fury Road and things have grown even murkier in his mind about what movie should top our Movie List. He also watched David Cronenberg's Crash and now we're all wondering if we should be turned on by car wrecks. We finish things off talking about the final season of Euphoria and Back to the Future. If you would like to show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time that would be appreciated.

As Quebec marks the Fete Nationale, we look at the new and very online generation of Quebecois independence activists. We speak to a 25-year-old Alex Valiquette about the explosion of pro-independence music and memes — and how the movement is reaching out to allophones and newcomers. Then, poll analyst Philippe Fournier gives a reality check about movement's strength among young people and the Quebec public at large — and how the Parti Quebecois promise to hold a referendum within four years could play into the upcoming fall election.

Day Of Epiphany by Canadian author/actor, Jerome J Bourgault is the recent winner of CANREADS Award for Historical Fiction 2026, available now on Amazon and Indigo.   Bourgault's highly anticipated book is an exploration of a dark chapter in Canadian and specifically Quebecois history: the “Grande Noirceur” (“Great Darkness”) of 1944–1959.  The Catholic Church wielded its influence through the provincial government, controlling education, healthcare and orphanages. Day of Epiphany is both powerful and unsettling, as it examines the systemic abuse and scars left by religious institutions.  An uncomfortable reminder, some would prefer left alone…   Day Of Epiphany delivers why in shocking detail.Day of Epiphany takes place in 1950s Quebec as the province languishes under the oppressive dual authorities of the Roman Catholic Church and the autocratic government of Maurice Duplessis.  In the small town of St-Jolain, young Sister Cassandra Lalonde works tirelessly as a teacher at the Ste-Madeleine (Ste-M) Orphanage. It's a difficult life for the children, but Cassandra has hope for four of Ste-M's best and brightest young teens—Suzanne, Hélène, Diane, and Eleanora, with whom she has forged a powerful bond.  Day Of Epiphany is their journey. After an explosion closes the orphanage, the nuns and children return to find the rebuilt facility has been re-designated by the Duplessis government as a psychiatric hospital, and the orphans have been “reclassified” as mental patients. To make matters worse, Ste-M has been merged with a notoriously brutal psychiatric hospital from another parish, whose patients and staff are fully integrated with the resident population of the new Sainte-Madeleine Institute. In the living nightmare that follows, Sister Cassandra struggles to recognize God's hand in such darkness. As casualties begin to mount, Cassandra must resort to increasingly drastic measures to protect those under her care.  Bourgault's Day Of Epiphany is a must-read story of moral complexity, personal resilience, loss and redemption. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Caroline Hahm, chef at Di An DI restaurant in Brooklyn NY, to explore the beautiful intersection of professional kitchens and sustainable farming. We dive into her journey from leaving Cornell to working in fashion, and explore how the documentary Food Inc. and her grandmother's garden entirely reshaped her worldview. Caroline shares her tumultuous journey of learning her craft from scratch, discovering farming along the way, and how she ultimately ended up as a culinary leader. She breaks down the economic realities of sourcing ethically for Asian cuisine, paying farmers full price, and subverting toxic kitchen cultures through mindful leadership. Finally, we discuss her guiding mission to live a life of service and her dream of building a hospitality space tied directly to its own market garden.

“I am haunted by history: the history of dictatorship, the history of empire, history as a whole,” declares the Iraqi novelist, poet, scholar, and literary translator Sinan Antoon near the start of this conversation about his most recent novel, Of Loss and Lavender. Sinan, speaking with Magalí and critic Michael Allan, goes on to say that “the novel allows for a more wholesome, in-depth confrontation with history.” That confrontation, in turn, requires narrative forms that are complex, sometimes fractured, and often non-linear in order to braid together a range of different perspectives on a particular moment or event. As Sinan observes in a discussion of the Arabic term nisyān—“forgetting” or “forgetfulness,” although its nuances in Arabic are not easily rendered in English—even memory itself is not static. And yet, shared histories of empire and imperialism make it possible to draw connections between far-flung locations, as Sinan does in Of Loss and Lavender by drawing together Iraq and Puerto Rico. From here, the conversation turns to the pleasures and challenges of translation, including some of Sinan's choices when translating his own work into English. This includes the effort to make legible the nuances of race, class, and other forms of difference across contexts; although, as Sinan notes, much of his younger readership in the Arab world today is often well-versed in US culture. The conversation concludes with a discussion of Sinan's frequent use of poems and songs in the novel, a device that points back to the multi-genre experiments of the premodern Arabic tradition, and a moving portrait of a teacher who transmitted to his students ideas about justice and equality despite the dictatorship under which he worked. Mentioned in this episode: About Baghdad The Baghdad Eucharist Mahmoud Darwish, In the Presence of Absence Darwish's “Memory for Forgetfulness” (on nisyān) The Book of Collateral Damage Elias Khoury and the use of dialect in contemporary Arabic fiction Quebecois literature Breaking Bad Um Kulthoum Learn more about your ad choices.

EDtv opened in third place on March 26th right behind our last movie, Analyze This in 2nd and Forces of Nature in 1st, going on to gross $35 million worldwide on a budget of $80 million. Directed by Ron Howard, it is a remake of the 1994 Quebecois film Louis 19, King of the Airwaves, with a script adapted by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel, it stars Matthew McConaughey, Jenna Elfman, Woody Harrelson, Ellen DeGeneres, Sally Kirkland, a frankly Oscar-worthy Martin Landau, Rob Reiner, Dennis Hopper, Elizabeth Hurley, Harry Shearer, Ian Gomez, Rupaul, Michael Moore, Jay Leno, George Plimpton, and Bill Maher. EDtv tells the story of a regular guy whose life becomes a 24-hour reality show. It did modestly well with critics, but it was drowned out by 1998's similarly-premised (but in no way similar) The Truman Show. Anyway, since it's the only 1999 movie to feature Bill Maher, we invited the host of the I Hate Bill Maher Podcast, comedian Will Weldon, to talk about this incredibly confused, frustrating movie, which remains notable for being the start of the McConaughey-Harrelson (possibly literal) Bromance!

The Conseil des Industriels laitiers du Québec is seeking a protected geographical indication for poutine cheese.

New music from Africa to start the show, featuring Putumayo's excellent latest release - Desert Blues. Lots more from across the "dark continent", then music from Iran, Romania, and Cuba before paying respect to Raul Malo, who died this week. Great lead singer with The Mavericks. Some stirring instrumentals from across Canada, some wonderful new topical songs, and then another RIP - this time to Quebec's amazing bass player / composer Simon Lepage (Les Grands Hurleurs) - followed by some great new Quebecois trad. The big Celtic finale featured some powerful tunes and a few poignant songs.

On her seventh and latest album, “Cavale,” the award-winning Quebecois artist Cœur de pirate explores her longest and most toxic relationship — with anxiety. She sits down with Tom Power to talk about the record, the cost of fame, and how being “scared of everything” inspired her to write her first new song in two years.

There has been a murder! A murder in a small Quebecois village where everyone knows each other and most people seem to be either artists or café proprietors! Luckily Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and the Sûreté du Québec are on the case, there to be avuncular and reassuring and blur the line between friend and law enforcement professional.This episode is sponsored by Squarespace.

Allison Raskin has a pretty diverse array of interests.

Before they defined Canada's political landscape - and became adversaries on the question of Quebecois independence - Pierre Trudeau and René Lévesque were allies on the road to the Quiet Revolution. We discuss Donald Brittain's documentary THE CHAMPIONS, PART 1: UNLIKELY WARRIORS (1978) and the growing pains of Canada in its postwar era.

Our exit today has us stopping an international counterfeit money scheme. This week, we are talking about Rush Hour 2, written by Ross LaManna and Jeff Nathanson and directed by Brett Ratner.In preparation, Tripp watched Rush Hour, so there is a lot of comparing between the two movies. There is also discussion about bloopers (of course), Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker, Zhang Ziyi, Ocean's Eleven, some cultural insensitivity, 90s action films, Quebecois cinema, Hong Kong, Jeremy Piven, Billy Crystal, erotic Antonio Banderas films, and a surprisingly long conversation comparing the different cuts of Apocalypse Now!Thememusic by Jonworthymusic.Powered by RiversideFM.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CFF Films⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with Ross and friends.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Movies We've Covered on the Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Letterboxd.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Movies Recommended on the Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Letterboxd.

This week, Kim Masters speaks to Severance director and cinematographer, Jessica Lee Gagné. The Quebecois filmmaker reflects on her collaboration with Severance executive producer Ben Stiller, which began on the Showtime limited series Escape at Dannemora. She discusses becoming the first woman to be Emmy-nominated in the same year for both cinematography and directing in a drama series, and the major leap of faith it took to transition from a successful career as a DP into the world of directing.  Plus, Disney is reshaping its sports strategy, launching a standalone ESPN app, and making billion-dollar deals with WWE and the NFL. Will the NFL's new stake in ESPN bring scrutiny from the Trump-led DOJ? Also, the Skydance-Paramount deal is done, and the Ellisons may have their sights set on Warner Bros. Kim Masters and Matt Belloni break it all down.

This week on Web Tales, Marc and Batch dive deep into Spectacular Spider-Man #22!Spider-Man throws down with Moon Knight in their very first clash—but that's just the beginning. We're talking Kraven's own shady "Epstein-style" list, Marc's ongoing beef with Frenchie (who he insists is an offensive stereotype), and the chaos of the Great Poutine-Off, where none other than Celine Dion sits in judgment.It's web-slinging action, conspiracy theories, and greasy Quebecois cuisine—just another day in the multiverse of Web Tales.

In this episode we answer questions from Mason, Brian, and Anonymous.  We discuss portfolio transitions from a highly overlapped portfolio and related consideration, treasury strips funds and leveraged ETFs (twice), and the power of advice from the great Jim Rohn.  UNLIMITED POWER.Just remember that "Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion."And we discuss our campaign for the Father McKenna Center and Quebecois updates to our website.Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterThe Source of the "We Don't Know" Clip:  Jim Rohn Join the 3% Club and Walk away from the 97%Breathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Transforming your portfolio into a risk parity approach doesn't have to be complicated, but it does require both strategy and courage. This episode dives deep into listener questions about making that transition while navigating tax implications and psychological barriers.When Mason asks about converting his advisor-built collection of funds into a risk parity portfolio, Frank reveals a crucial insight most investors miss: holding multiple similar funds creates "false diversification." Those four large-cap funds in your portfolio? They're basically the same investment with different names. True diversification comes from understanding what's inside each fund, not collecting different tickers.For those curious about leveraged ETFs like UPRO, Brian's question leads to fascinating observations about why some leveraged products perform better than others. The conversation reveals why Treasury strips funds like GOVZ/ZROZ make reasonable substitutions for standard Treasury allocations, while leveraged gold ETFs might be problematic for long-term investors. Frank shares his personal experience reducing his own UPRO allocation and explains why experimentation with small portions of your portfolio is the wisest approach to newer investment strategies.The philosophical foundation of the show emerges when a listener asks about the "Nobody Knows" sound clip. The attribution to motivational speaker Jim Rohn opens a window into the mindset that drives successful investing. Rohn's philosophy that "affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion" perfectly captures why just thinking about better investment outcomes isn't enough—you must take action to create them.Ready to reshape your investment approach? This episode provides both the practical steps and the motivational spark to move forward confidently. As Rohn reminds us, "If you think investing is risky, wait till you get the tab for not investing."Support the show

This week we're excited to present a conversation from the 62nd New York Film Festival with Who by Fire director Philippe Lesage and actor Noah Parker. An NYFF62 Main Slate selection, Who by Fire is now playing at Film at Lincoln Center with in-person Q&As at select screenings opening weekend. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/fire A getaway at a secluded log cabin in the forest becomes the site of escalating, multigenerational tensions and anxieties in this disquieting, impeccably mounted coming-of-age drama from Quebecois filmmaker Philippe Lesage (Genesis, New Directors/New Films 2019). Ostensibly a merry reunion between well-known film director Blake Cadieux (Arieh Worthalter) and his longtime friend and former collaborator Albert Gary (Paul Ahmarani), the vacation gradually becomes something far more complex and less stable, especially with the combustible admixture of Albert's teen son's best friend, Jeff (Noah Parker), and Albert's self-asserting daughter Aliocha (Aurélia Arandi-Longpré). Long-simmering middle-aged resentments surface, set against the anxieties of the young, all captured sensitively by Lesage, who in recent years has proven unparalleled in evoking the psychological contours of teenagers finding their paths through treacherous emotional landscapes. Featuring thrillingly choreographed dinner sequences of mounting tension, Who by Fire confirms Lesage as a major contemporary filmmaker, with its assured tonal negotiation of the naturalistic and the oneiric, the joyous (especially an epic dance interlude to The B-52s) and the ominous. This conversation was moderated by NYFF selection committee member K. Austin Collins.
