• Episode 117: "Valerie" (1969)

  In this episode, Ryan Barnett returns to discuss his latest projects with host Andrew Hunter Scholey. They include his recent series "Story Girl" about beloved author Lucy Maud Montgomery, and his upcoming series about another beloved Canadian, John Candy. They then move into discussing a film that Ryan suggested, the Quebec "Maple Syrup Porno" film, "Valérie" (1969). What is that genre of film anyways? Why does this film exist? Is this film any good? And is this film actually one of the most important Canadian films ever made? The answer to that last question is yes. For answers to the other questions, you'll just have to listen.

Take the romantic plunge as they discuss the careers of the film's young cast, some random hot takes about relationships and dating and ultimately.... Why did no one see this (mostly) charming take on the old genre.
