Mikes Pereira and Clark sit down with local communicator and avid movie-not-watcher Charlotte Prong and see if she is able to guess what a movie is about from the title alone. This episode we discuss one of Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning's double-handers, and Tony Scott's fifth-from-last film, Man on Fire. Newsletter: https://midcreditscene.substack.com/.

In this extended Mid-Credit Minute (some might call it a Mid-Credit Hour), the Mikes run through the major categories of the Academy Awards for 2025, and come to the sickening feeling that they are really quite boring this year. Is that the Academy's fault, or the movies? Come for the Awards talk, stay for the late 80s Oxbridge wonderkins! Newsletter: https://midcreditscene.substack.com/.

It's just the Mikes this month, in what turned out to be a long digression about movie comedies, and the possible death of the comedy franchise. We spend a lot of time in the 2010s, but also touch on Austin Powers, the 1980s, and Bill Murray's worst role ever? Join us for a conversation even we didn't expect to have.

When you love movies as much as Conway Fraser dies, it seems downright cruel to ask him to pick just one he feels he inherited from the past and just one to leave to the future. But we didn't claim we weren't cruel, so we asked him anyway. What did he pick for the Give and Take? Listen and find out - their classics and probably not ones you'd expect.

Following our main interview with Conway Fraser, The Mikes talk to the veteran journalist and communications pro about his perfect Double Feature and whether he'd rather be picked up in a taxi by Al Pacino or Robert de Niro's characters in the classic film Heat.

The Mikes we honoured and delighted to join all our amazing friends for the Midtown Radio Annual Holiday Broadcast, live from Midnight Run in Uptown Waterloo! The show featured musical guests, comedy, poetry, and more! Your two hosts took to the mics for some year-end film wrap-ups and a fun little game we call “Directed or Developed” in which Pereira challenged Clark with a list of project titles and he had to guess whether it was the name of a movie or a condo development in Waterloo Region...
The Mikes are joined by veteran journalist and communications pro Conway Fraser to talk about... well a lot really. We hit on everything from whether "mining films" constitute a genre, Pereira and Conway's nearly decade-long debate on whether Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein is the best Mel Brooks film, and, how true to life is Wag the Dog to a real-life "spin doctor" and cinephile like Conway (Does he really keep a country singer on retainer just in case? Find out!) Newsletter: ht...
You gotta work pretty hard to find a movie that Clark hasn't heard of, but Joel Rubinoff pulls it off with an absolutely fascinating pick for a film he inherited from the past! Plus, he continues messing with time, when it comes to what he wants to leave for the future! Newsletter: https://midcreditscene.substack.com/.

A great little bonus episode with Veteran culture journalist Joel Rubinoff who couldn't resist the temptation to choose not just one, but three possible double features. It's like we got stuck in a time loop! (which might just be a theme here folks). And P.S. Joel is hosting a mini-film festival at the Princess Cinemas with five absolute classics! Details, showtimes and tickets can be found on the Princess Cinemas website at: https://princesscinemas.com/simplenews/joel-rubinoff-the-roc...
Veteran culture journalist Joel Rubinoff sits down to talk about “Joel Rubinoff: The Rock n Roll Years” – a throwback film festival featuring five legendary classics hosted at Princess Cinemas. Joel will introduce each film and discuss post-show with a unique special guest for each screening! Joel joins us to talk about each of his selections, the near-and-dear films that heartbreakingly didn't make the cut, and his 35-year career as a journalist covering film, music, and so much more!...
In our final episode with Anna Beard, she considers our new question of inheriting and passing along films, and gives some beautiful responses. And, she gives us an opportunity to remember the career of Dame Maggie Smith, which Clark ruins by once again obsessing over a chicken leg.

Like so many FOX shows in the 90's, we premiere our 4th season deep into October, with a holiday themed episode. Returning guest Anna Beard is here to define what a "spoopy" movie is.

People don't like David Zaslav and it isn't hard to understand why. The guy deep sixed Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt, pulled a ton of amazing animated stuff from streaming, and tried to shelve the fully completed, highly anticipated Coyote vs. Acme for tax reasons.
