End Credits #338 - April 24, 2024 (Civil War)

Guelph Politicast

This week on End Credits, it's war! Yes, it's time to get political again with the movie that everyone's talking about, whether you follow every last detail about American elections or not. Yes, we're tackling Civil War, and we're also going to talk about the studio that launched this controversial (and lucrative) project, and some of their less well-known (and controversial) efforts.

This Wednesday, April 24, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss:

F***ing A24! In 2012, a new studio was launched to try and capture some of those new and eccentric voices that were getting squeezed out of the market. Within a decade, A24 had won an Oscar for Best Picture (Everything Everywhere All at Once), and fostered talent like Ari Aster, Ti West, Greta Gerwig, Sean Baker, and many, many more. Civil War is their biggest film yet, but we're dedicated the first part of the show to some of their underappreciated gems.

REVIEW: Civil War (2024). It's the talk of the culture right now, a movie called Civil War, coming out in an American election year where people are talking about a second U.S. civil war. There's no doubt that Alex Garland has his finger on the pulse with this one, a tale of four journalists travelling across war-torn America to get to the frontlines outside Washington D.C., but Garland seems less concerned with up-to-the-minute political analysis when compared to the inner-psychology of the people that document death and destruction, so is that okay for this audience?

End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
