This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're taking the week off, and you probably are too. If you've entered the usual post-Christmas/pre-New Year's boredom, then this is the show for you because it's our annual Political Movies Show! For the last eight years, we've used one of our last shows of the year to talk about some of our favourite politically-minded movies, and this year will not be any different. So tune, drop out, and bring on the flicks!
This Thursday, December 28, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:
Adam's Pick #1: First Blood (1982). "A veteran Green Beret is forced by a cruel Sheriff and his deputies to flee into the mountains and wage an escalating one-man war against his pursuers." Directed by Ted Kotcheff. Starring Sylvester Stallone, Richard Crenna, and Brian Dennehy. You can stream First Blood on Paramount+ or rent it on VOD.
Scotty's Pick #1: Between Two Worlds (2021). "Based on French journalist Florence Aubenas's bestselling non-fiction work Le Quai de Ouistreham, investigating rising precarity in French society through her experiences in the northern port city of Caen." Directed by Emmanuel Carrère. Starring Juliette Binoche, Louise Pociecka and Steve Papagiannis. You can borrow Between Two Worlds from the Guelph Public Library.
Adam's Pick #2: JFK (1991). "New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison discovers there's more to the Kennedy assassination than the official story." Written and Directed by Oliver Stone. Starring Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones and Sissy Spacek. You can rent JFK on VOD.
Scotty's Pick #2: Push (2019). "A documentary shedding light on the global phenomenon of the commodification of housing and consequent lack of affordability, especially through the eyes of Leilani Farha, a United Nations special rapporteur on housing who lives in Canada." Directed by Fredrik Gertten. You can stream Push on TVO's website or rent it on AppleTV.
Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
