Guelph Politicast

This week on End Credits, we're back! Well rested after summer vacation, we're going to spend this first episode back going to movie jail, or rather a movie set at a jail. Join us as we journey to Sing Sing and an early contender for best picture of the year, and there's about to be a lot of competition for that title because Fall Movie Season is here, and we'll preview it.

This Wednesday, August 7, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss:

Fall Movie Preview. Okay, so it's been a lacklustre year at the movies so far, but that's about to change because Fall is here! With the biggest film festivals gearing up, and awards season coming into view, studios and distributors have been saving some of their best bets for the last four months of the year. From passion projects, to nostalgic runs, and some blockbuster returns, we will talk about the anticipated hits of Fall 2024!

REVIEW: Sing Sing (2024). At New York's notorious Sing Sing prison, there's a program called Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA), a theatre troupe made up of the inmates there. Yes, Greg Kwedar's new film is based on a true story, but it also features some of the men that lived it. Led by Coleman Domingo, the cast of RTA grads tell their story as they mount an original production, balancing the humanizing power of the arts and the dehumanizing conditions of prison. So is the play the thing that makes a good movie in the case of Sing Sing?

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