a live dog beset by dead lion (maternal superego located in a doll). It seems bizarre that it’s taken so long for this podcast to get around to Lucky McKee’s May, the 2002 cult favourite about a young woman who, faced with relentless imperfection in the world around her, decides to make something whole and perfect. Results are mixed. Are Adam and A…

White Nights! The nights are white. The country is red. The politics are red, white and blue. The lives are separate and ongoing. The saying is you and me. The pirouettes are plentiful (11 in total). The Baryshnikov is Mikhail, the Hines is Gregory. The meet is cute. The couple is odd. The dances are amazing. The music is kind of lousy, tbh. The Ru…

sky dog and the lion of tomorrow When Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow came out in 2004, much was made of the fact that director Kerry Conran had landed the job on the strength of a short film painstakingly made on his computer. The feature length film, starring a staggeringly audience-enticing combo of Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina J…

It's that special time of the year when the Bureau turns its mind to things budgetary! But first! We got a visit from fellow community-media denizen, Jayne Trimble, of the Empower Women show on AccessNow TV. Then, we look at this year's delightfully passive aggressive budget powerpoint. And! Clr Rashovich asked what a 5% budget REDUCTION would look…

City of Regina's Chief Financial Officer, Daren Anderson, found his way into the subbasement so we quizzed him about the 2026 budget and money stuff like that. If you're freaking out about the possibility of a 13.56% mill rate increase, this is not the show for you. Or maybe it is. Maybe you like to freak out over mill rates. We also talk about res…

you know, i’m something of a huckleberry myself. Sometimes a great performance turns an average movie into a classic. It’s hard to imagine Tombstone without Kilmer’s grand and tragic take on Doc Holliday, a man whose vanity seems to be consuming him from the inside throughout the film. Tombstone may be Kilmer’s crowning achievement. Listen to us ta…

you know what, pain actually does hurt. Unless you’re dalton. Never mind the remakes, here’s the original in all its glory. Adam and Aidan get a little rapturous about the bizarre Road House world of bar bouncers and the cooler so legendary that his name evokes hushed awe. A dirtbag John Wick. A bar brawl bodhisattva. A small town saviour. A man wh…

dig if you will this picture. Prince Rogers Nelson was a brilliant musician, a stylish-as-hell dresser and a singular person. He was not a great filmmaker or screen presence, but Purple Rain mostly functions as a concert film with a plot and some conflict strung between the numbers. And for that alone, this one is worth your time. Listen to Adam an…

If you sit down and watch a run of Val Kilmer movies, eventually you will discover a sub-sub-genre that I call In It for the Val - that is, functional and mediocre movies that are only elevated by the presence of a Val Kilmer performance. Is Willow one of those movies? Ha ha, yes. Despite the craft (especially the Phil Tippett creature animations),…
