In this episode we finally cover two movies we have been wanting to do for a long time. The good movie this week is the exciting action sequel Mad Max Fury Road. And the bad movie is the video game-themed Adam Sandler flick, Pixels. Lots of stuff to talk about... and yet all Bob wants to do is discuss Harry Potter.

It's Hollywood's biggest night! This week we recorded our episode right before the Oscars, and so this episode includes our (mostly wrong) Oscar predictions. But of course, the episode must include the usual business.... and this time we are watching Robert Downey Sr.'s wild satire Putney Swope, and we compare it to the J Lo rom-com from 2022 about a pop star that marries a regular guy! What a duo of films! Find us on Twitter , Instagram and Letterboxd @fromjustin2kane email us at fromjustintoka...

We're back after a brief fortnight break! And this time we have another episode for the cinephiles! We talk about Joachim Trier's great anti-rom-com The Worst Person in the World and compare it to the very bad Terrence Malick improv-fest Song to Song, a movie with unbelievable star power (Gosling, Portman, Mara, Blanchett, the gang's all here!). We roast Terrence Malick for a good fifty minutes in this episode. We also talk about bad improv! Get amped Kanines! Find us on Twitter , Instagram and ...

In a fun twist on our classic formula, we swap out movies for food. In this episode, we compare Dairy Queen's classic ice cream cake with a strawberry rhubarb pie that Bob found at a local grocery store. We explore the history of desserts in general and find the similarities between these two tasty treats. Was this just an excuse to eat cake and pie? Of course! Keep your fork, Kanines! There's pie! (and cake!) Find us on Twitter , Instagram and Letterboxd @fromjustin2kane email us at fromjustint...

Kanines! We did it, we watched probably the worst movie we have seen yet. We also watch the 1994 bus-based action movie Speed, which rocks! We manage to find a bunch of "samesies," as always. We also talk about a conspiracy theory involving Steven Soderberg which is actually pretty interesting (and dumb). Bob also punches up Meet the Spartans. Plus, we play a game called "Pop Quiz A**hole!" Find us on Twitter , Instagram and Letterboxd @fromjustin2kane email us at fromjustintokane@gmail.com Artw...

And you may tell yourself, "this is not my beautiful podcast!" In this hot new epi, we compare the awesome Talking Heads concert film, Stop Making Sense, with the relatively forgotten When Harry Met Sally update for the new millenium, "Boys and Girls", featuring heartthrob Freddy Prinze Jr. We also talk about the career of Ed Harris, concert films and raunchy incel comedies.

Stop, collaborate, and listen... to this episode of From Justin to Kane! That's right, the Iceman cometh - the Vanilla Iceman that is!

I'll have what she's having, etc. etc. In this episode we tackle what Bob and Mike think is the greatest rom com ever made - When Harry Met Sally (natch) - and compare it to a pretty bad special effects showcase starring two (!) Will Smiths: Gemini Man! As you all know, Bob loves romcoms so this is a very exciting episode for him. We also talk about the romcom queen Meg Ryan (where is she now?), reading books for a change, special effects, and of course, Harry Connick Jr., as we always do! Find ...

We're back and this week we are changing things up and talking about video games! Two paradigm shifters from the 90s are being discussed: Super Mario 64, the game that defined 3D gaming, and Night Trap, the controversial Sega CD classic that popularized (for better or worse) full motion video gaming. One game is good! One game is bad! Are they the same! Yes! It's-a us, Mike and Bob! Let's-a go! Wahoooo!

This episode is for the true cinephiles! We watch Wong Kar-Wai's classic dyad of romance, Chungking Express, and we find that it is the same movie as Jean Rollo's eurotrash vampire orgy film, Requiem for a Vampire. Both of these movies are not for everyone, but we had fun with them! Cloons shooting guns, you love to see it! We also talk about podcast catchphrases, avant-garde storytelling, and puppies! LIVE.

2021: This feels over! While it was a generally unpleasant and stressful year, it wasn't so bad for our podcast! In this episode, we recap our favorite films that we saw in 2021. We also talk about episodic storytelling, watching Zack Snyder's Justice League WITH COMMERCIALS, the rumble pak, and make some fun plans for this upcoming year in podcasting!

It's the annual holiday party! We're all gathering at the big office we have rented out and we are hanging out and chatting about movies, real loosey-goosey like. There are snacks (Timbiebs), drinks (liquified Timbiebs) and music in the background (not Biebs, thankfully). We chat about everything from vaccines to Timbiebs, but mostly movies.

It's From Justin Defresne! Welcome back, Kanines. After a few week hiatus we return with a double header from 1994, where we tackle Frank Darabont's sentimental prison drama The Shawshank Redemption and the chaotic "gore-cut" of the wonderfully stupid Tammy and the T-Rex (which features a young Paul Walker as the titular T-Rex), directed by the guy who did Mac and Me. These two films are both about being imprisoned, that's all ya need to know! We also talk about Forrest Gump (again), the non-hor...

Hey Kanines, get a load of these bobos... I mean, get a load of this new episode! In this soon-to-be classic epi, we compare the 2020 Oscar-winning film The Father with the terrible Stan Winston-directed "movie for kids" about a perverted gnome who is, according to our sources, named Gnorm. We have found a lot of similarities (or samesies, as we are now calling them) between these two films, they are pretty much the same movie, yes siree Bob!

Hey Kanines, we got a reallllll weird episode for you today! On this epi, we compare the wonderful wonderful Minari, with a very obscure movie called The Milky Life, starring Mickey Rooney as a billionaire that decides he wants to be a baby so he puts on a diaper and breast feeds and does all kinds of weird baby stuff. And it is entirely in spanish. It's a true bizarro relic and we mostly focus on that because, I mean, why wouldn't you? You can watch The Milky Life here, assuming the link is sti...

In this episode, we find the similarities between Edward Scissorhands, one of Tim Burton's best movies, and Street Trash, a gross-out slime-a-rama that aims to "offend everyone on planet earth". Are they both about social outcasts, on the sidelines of Reagan-era America's gentrification? You gotta listen to find out! We also are introducing a new feature where we review the films! Spoiler alert: Bob REALLY hated Street Trash! Find us on Twitter , Instagram and Letterboxd @fromjustin2kane email u...

We're back to our old format now that Halloween is over! We still got a scary movie but at least we are doing what the old tagline in the pod description promises. Into the Night is a pretty bad and kinda boring movie, but we have some interesting and timely conversation about how director John Landis was on trial for murder during the making of it. We also spend a significant amount of time inadvertently brainstorming ideas for merch. Don't Get Raunch on My Gonch! Find us on Twitter , Instagram...

Sorry Jack, From Justin to Kane is back! On this episode, our final episode of the month wherein we talk with a guest about a horror film of choice, we are joined by filmmaker and author Omar Mouallem. Omar recently released a hit book, " Praying to the West: How Muslims Shaped the Americas ," and a movie, " The Last Baron " (which is about a regional burger chain with a very interesting backstory. Omar has some thoughts on Child's Play 2, the better-than-the-first sequel about the murdering dol...

Lindsay is an Edmontonian filmmaker, currently stationed in Berlin, who has directed a horror short called Central Dental - which you can watch online right now! He joins Mike and Bob to talk about Sam Raimi's horror comedy masterpiece Evil Dead 2!

It's our 69th episode! NICE. And to celebrate, we are continuing our October format of having a guest on the pod to talk about their favorite scary movie! This week, we are talking about John Carpenter's The Thing with local hot sauce maker, Lee Boyes, who also is a big part of the team for the local Halloween haunt, Dark, that is happening this month right here in Edmonton. We talk about the films and music of John Carpenter, running a Halloween haunt, and weird porno fan fic. You know, the usu...

BOO! It's the first week of October AKA Spooky Month, and thus begins our annual tradition of talking with a guest about an iconic scary movie! This week we are chatting with local shopkeep Sylvia Douglas, one of the owners of the Edmonton comics and pop culture store "Rolling Tales", which opened less than a month ago here in town. She is also a filmmaker and a dungeon master, so there is a lot to talk about. Her favorite movie is Ridley Scott's Alien! It's a great conversation about all things...

It's Mike's special day and we are celebrating by riffing about bullshit for a half hour (it's still mostly about movies though). We talk about celebrity birthdays, the movie "Hearts in Atlantis" - which turns 20 today! - the PT Anderson movie trailer for "Licorice Pizza", and the "A Star is Born" quadrilogy (AKA "A Star is Fourn"). We also talk about sad birthday parties, touching pigs, being cool in junior high, Weird Al Yankovic, and of course, "The Human Centipede". Happy Birthday Mike! Find...

We're taking a break from our usual format to focus on just one movie. GUMP. That's right, we're talking Forrest Gump.

Kanines, we are finally covering the wonderful rock and roll ninja masterpiece Miami Connection, and comparing it to the beautiful technicolor ballet masterpiece The Red Shoes. This is a really fun episode, very very silly, you are really going to enjoy it. Mike used to do karate (up to orange belt) and Bob used to do ballet, so we are kinda experts. We also talk about cult films, beaver cosplay, and why dogs sniff each other's butts. Enjoy! Find us on Twitter , Instagram and Letterboxd @fromjus...

Merry Breensmas! We cover our first Breen film on the pod! And what a film it is. Fateful Findings is a twisted cult classic of the so-bad-it's-good variety, and we are glad to have seen our first Breen. And it is perhaps fateful that we find that it is the same as the whimsical pedo fantasia, Big, directed by the late Penny Marshall. We also talk about why the Sixth Sense is a dumb title, the nature of time in film, and what makes a film "Lynchian". What can we say? We're back on our bullshit! ...

Zup gamers! Pass the Mountain Dew Code Red, because we are covering the video game to movie adaptation that started it all, the ill-fated Super Mario Bros! And we are comparing it to the quintessential arthouse indie, The Last Black Man in San Francisco, which was a real treat to watch for the pod. We also talk about the history of Super Mario, the Canadian geese of Alcatraz, and of course, Bob gets perverted about Sonic the Hedgehog.

After a weeklong hiatus, we tackle the cult comic book adaptation, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and compare it to the blatant E.T. ripoff, Mac and Me, two movies that Mike has nostalgic feelings for. Also worth noting that Bob is really hungover for this episode, which adds a certain flair to the proceedings. We also talk about MST3K, Quentin Tarantino and the city of Toronto.
