Oh, the Places We’ll Go: Canadian Movies
On today’s episode of Talking Movies with My Mom, we travel to Canada for this season’s installment of our "Oh, the Places We’ll Go" series.
Our first stop is "Scanners," where we expose the cold hard truth about scanner on scanner action, making a cult classic on the fly, and how Canadian Nice creeps in even when murdering the future.
Next up, we cross the Northern border into comedy with a big swig of "Strange Brew." We discover Krypto the Superdog’s (un)likely origin story, that the similarities between Bob & Doug & their parents are more than meets the eye, and how a son’s enthusiastic persuasion can lead to the most unexpected casting.
