This episode, Colin Everett asked Hunter if they could do the classic SCTV sketch, "Garth & Gord & Fiona & Alice" (1982). Hunter said sure, so this episode is about that (and jobs! Lots of jobs!) But naturally they talk a lot about SCTV itself, its legacy, and where that legacy stands now. They also talk about the film the sketch is based on-- "Goin' Down The Road"-- which surprisingly has not been covered on this show before. Ummmm, what else.... They talk real Maritime Canadian history, specifically the "maritime migration", which occurred in the '60s, which influenced the film, which influenced the sketch. It all ties together. And Colin talks some about being from Moncton.

In this episode, James Thornton returns to discuss "The Girl Who Cried Pearls" (2025). Not only is this an amazing piece of animation, it is also nominated for Best Animated Short at the upcoming Academy Awards. They discuss the previous work of Clyde Henry Productions out of Montreal, the creative process behind the film, and a little about their own views on the Oscars and making art in general.

They discuss how it works overall as an adaption, Sook-Yin Lee's other directorial efforts, and how the film tackles its controversial subject matter.

This episode, Andrew Hunter Scholey and Melissa Jean Miller sit down to have a conversation about the Naomi Jaye directed film, "Darkest Miriam" (2024).
