Guelph PoliticastOpen Sources Guelph #499 - December 26, 2024This week on Open Sources Guelph, we box! It is Boxing Day, isn't it? So we're going to be boxing up all kinds of things, but the one thing we will be unboxing is our annual political movies show! For the tenth annual edition, we will look at four important films that cover a lot of political ground, from a documentary about a famous writer to the nightlife of Berlin just as things started getting Nazi, and from the end of the world in 2027 to a David Vs. Goliath courtroom fight!

Guelph PoliticastEnd Credits #359 - October 2, 2024 (Megalopolis)This week on End Credits, we're ambitious! We do love a passion project on this show, and on this episode we're serving up thoughts on two of them, one new and one old. In the 'new' category, we've got the latest movie from the vanguard of the New Hollywood movement, and from the 'old' file, we've got the greatest hit from the head of the 90s indie movement. Get ready for Megalopolis and Pulp Fiction!

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!

However, they are having an election right now in Mississauga, they're going to the polls next month to choose a new mayor.

Well, not really. This episode is definitely France adjacent though, because there's a big annual film festival that just wrapped up there, and they premiered a great many movies over the last few weeks. One of them is the movie we're reviewing today, a prequel to a 10-year-old movie and a sequel to a 45-year-old one.

That's to be determined. As per usual at the end of the year, your favourite cast of characters on local radio will gather for a December celebration of the greatest movies of the year, and the pickings were actually pretty good.

We're going to talk about that, and we're also going to talk about the latest from the war between Israel and Hamas. Closer to home, we're going to talk to the newest member of the Ontario Legislature.

Instead, we put a call in to a new friend and an old friend to round out our time and chat around the news. First, we will talk to someone uniquely placed in the fight against gender-based violence, and second we've got another Green fellow named Mike who's having a very busy time lately too!

Somehow, this idea is far less concerning than the company that the Premier of Alberta is keeping, and speaking of concerning, we will play host to a member of our local city council who's going to talk about that big budget conundrum.

That's the aesthetic - some people say - of David Fincher, and it's pretty much a theme of his new movie, The Killer. On this show, it's going to be all Fincher, all the time as we draft the director's best works, and then we will dive into his new entry, which you can now stream on Netflix, and see if it's worthy of future "Best of" lists.

Speaking of home, there are a lot of people in our community without one and we're going to talk to someone in government trying to fix that.

A lot's been happening on the homefront lately so we will take a break from current affairs in the Middle East and look at Queen's Park, where the government seems buried under a mound of paper released to the press this week. Speaking of getting buried, we will look at if the federal government has buried itself by revisiting its most controversial piece of legislation. And lastly, we have another city council friend to talk with.

We've got a full slate of political news for you from the latest in the Middle East and the frontlines in Israel to the battle lines in Queen's Park. And then, we go to Saskatchewan where there was some constitutional experimentation, and speaking of experimenting, might Guelph be flirting with the blue team?!

On the one hand, there's still violence in the Middle East and it seems to be getting worse despite the interventions of foreign leaders and aid agencies. On the other hand we've got a great big new convoy, except it might not be as big as the previous one, but it's still kind of annoying. And then, on our hidden third hand, we will talk about local stuff with a member of city council and how that might impact your wallet.

As we were enjoying the Thanksgiving long weekend, there was no rest for the people in Israel and the Gaza Strip and now a full-scale war seems to be inevitable. In lighter news though, there's more dysfunction in the Republic Party for us to laugh at, and for the interview this week, we'll head back up Highway #7 to visit another provincial election candidate.

It's good fodder for a podcast, which might soon be under the regulatory umbrella of the CRTC. In the back half of the show, we're going to talk about the recent increase in the minimum wage, and why it still isn't good enough.

It's an all news show this week as we look to some international news that happened in own backyard, and some international news that happened in France but has a very familiar tone to it. In news from across Canada, we'll talk about the problem with News Brunswick, or its premier at least, and why your favourite leader of His Majesty's loyal opposition is changing things up, for the better(?).

It's also not a real place, but it does look like a lovely vacation spot, or a good place to kill a couple of hours in an air conditioned movie theatre. We will make those determinations, and we will also wrap up our Indiana Jones re-watch.

There are some very serious issues that we need to shed a light on, including that was-it-a-coup-attempt in Russia last weekend that might have changed the game. And speaking of changing the game, is Canada about to be serviced by one big newspaper company? What about the fate of local news? In the back half of the show, nothing major, just the state of our emergency rooms in Canada.

Well, not us necessarily, but the heroines of this week's film do. In this episode, we watch a movie that takes us to one of those most ordinary of summer activities, going to a wedding. We're watching Polite Society, a hit from this year's Sundance Film Festival. Also, we've got another Indiana Jones to talk about.

First, we have to talk about the loud and growing group of people that want to deny history, and speaking of history, might Toronto be on the brink of electing its first female immigrant person of colour mayor? We're not here to tell the future, but our local MPP will be here to talk about the recent past in the interview.

This week, we go for something Canadian with the coming of age story I Like Movies, and we continue on with our re-visit through the Indiana Jones series with the second of five entries. See, we do like movies!

Let's go to the bathroom where, naturally, you keep all your state secrets! Speaking of secrets we'll talk about the ongoing efforts to wrap our head around election interference in the last two Canadian elections, and then we'll head to the U.S. where a certain Florida Man is making trouble again. For the interview, we've got someone local with something to celebrate.

It's almost like there's more than one of us, or perhaps there should be. Speaking of multiplicity, the movie we're reviewing this week is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which features a spider-cast of thousands, and since we're talking about legends, we're going to take a closer look at another franchise.
