Anna & Chris wonder if this version of the Canucks is the real deal and whether we can expect the good times to continue to roll. And with player safety & injuries a current topic, the pair discuss what more can be done to ensure players are kept healthy while on the ice.

Frank talks about his career, what he's up to now, and gives a few thoughts on what needs to happen with his former team.

He & Anna break down how things went so wrong against the Ottawa Senators, Minnesota Wild & Calgary Flames after things went so right against the Dallas Stars to kick off the week that was.

2022-04-261h 03C4 Hockey PodcastGo for Bo - Apr. 19, 2022To make the 2022 NHL Playoffs, the Vancouver Canucks are in a position that requires them to win most - if not all - of their remaining games. Anna & Chris have been saying. Most of the 138 Canucks podcasts are saying it. Mainstream media is saying it. Even some of the most optimistic fans in the Smylosphere are saying it.
So who had the Canucks doing their part by wining every game over the past two weeks?
While this wild & crazy ride may continue through to the end of the season, Anna & Chris wonder how feasible it...

Yet with them back in action Tuesday (maybe) against the Panthers, they will have had no games for 10 days and will play 11 games squeezed into the second half of the month (20 days).

Ten Thousand Grains of Sand8. Gregory's Two Girls (1999)'A bit like the embarrassing cousin nobody wants at a family wedding'
In this episode, Anna faces her fears and finally watches Gregory's Two Girls, Bill Forsyth's last film and the follow up to the much-loved Gregory's Girl. Joining her to talk about it is film podcaster Rich Nelson.
The film revisits Gregory Underwood (John Gordon Sinclair), now in his mid 30s, still living in Cumbernauld and working as an English teacher in his old school. With the help of two of his pupils, Gregory uncovers some shady dealings by a local businessman.
2021-03-1234 minTen Thousand Grains of Sand7. Being Human (1994)'A film to be discovered, and reconsidered'
On this episode, Anna is joined by writer Andy Murray to discuss Being Human, Bill Forsyth's often maligned and misunderstood seventh film starring Robin Williams as Hector, a single human soul in five reincarnations through history, searching for connection.
Anna and Andy discuss the importance of family and home, studio interference, and how Forsyth makes it really hard for himself with this ambitious but flawed film which tackles the universality of the human condition. Andy also unearths an entire missing Hector (a Hector too far?)

On this episode, Anna is joined by 'the luckiest man in the world' - her husband Alan - to discuss Breaking In, Bill Forsyth's often overlooked sixth film (and the only one he didn't write the screenplay for).
Scripted by indie writer and director John Sayles, but still with the warmth and feel of a fully-formed Forsyth film, the plot centres on veteran safe-cracker Ernie Mullins (Burt Reynolds) who encounters rookie criminal Mike (Casey Siemaszko) and takes him under his wing.
Anna and Alan...

Based on the novel by Marilynne Robinson, the film centres on two sisters growing up in rural Idaho during the 1950s, who fall into the care of their eccentric Aunt Sylvie, played by Christine Lahti.
Anna and Emily discuss female family dynamics, the role of nature in our lives, and...

On this episode, Anna is joined by film writer and podcaster Leslie Byron Pitt to talk about Comfort and Joy, Bill Forsyth's fourth film from 1984.
The charmingly melancholic comedy stars Bill Paterson as Glasgow radio DJ Alan 'Dickie' Bird, whose life is turned upside down one Christmas and he finds himself searching for meaning amongst the discarded baubles.
Join Anna and Leslie as they discuss the importance of flawed characters, how far Bill Forsyth will go for the sake of a joke, the importance...

On this episode, Anna is joined by radio presenter and writer Tim Griffiths to talk about Local Hero, Bill Forsyth's critically acclaimed third film from 1983.
The gentle, magical comedy follows hot-shot American oil company executive ‘Mac’ MacIntyre as he's sent to a remote Scottish fishing village to negotiate a deal with the locals to buy it and build an oil refinery. But things don't quite go to plan.
Join Anna and Tim as they discuss the enduring, universal appeal of the film, the way it conn...

The charming romantic comedy follows Cumbernauld high school student Gregory, as he tries to win the heart of Dorothy, the new star of the school football team and the girl of his dreams.
Lewis hadn’t seen the film before, and Anna just can’t stop talking about it. Join them as they discuss...

On this episode, Anna is joined by screenwriter Chris Watt to talk about That Sinking Feeling, Bill Forsyth's record breakingly low budget debut feature from 1979.
The crime caper set in the 'fictitious town of Glasgow' is a charming, whimsical treat, once described by one of its stars Robert Buchanan as 'Typically Glaswegian, more so than Taggart.'
Join Anna and Chris as they discuss the perils of independent film funding, dubious 70s hairstyles, disappointing voice...
