Adam A. Donaldson – End Credits

This week on End Credits, this is unreal. Or is it? The time has come to ask all the questions we can’t really answer with the new is-it-a-documentary documentary You Can See Everything, which you can see in a theatre near you. Before that, we will go to the future by examining the past as we wrap up our look back at the films of 1976 with an underappreciated sci-fi flick.

This Wednesday, November 4, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss:

6 For ’76: Logan’s Run. One year before Star Wars, Michael Anderson directed a sci-fi movie about one young man that dared to challenge an authoritarian system… In this movie Michael York stars as Logan, a “Sandman” who hunts those you refuse to ritualistically end their life at the age of 30 in the idyllic domed city on post-apocalyptic Earth. To wrap up our “6 For ’76” series, we will tackle the highly influential, but often forgotten, Logan’s Run.

REVIEW: You Can See Everything (2026). There’s been no shortage of examination on Elizabeth Holmes, the Theranos founder now doing a decade in prison for fraud, but have said that, was Nathan Fielder really going to be the guy to break new ground? Maybe. Coming off it’s third successful weekend, we will dig into what might be the movie of the year, a documentary (?!) about Fielder’s efforts to understand the woman who stole billions of dollars selling a medical machine that didn’t work. So does You Can See Everything deliver on its promise?

This week on End Credits things are getting spoooooooky. You know it, you love it, and if it’s the pre-Halloween show then you know it’s time for the Halloween Horror Movie Draft! Let us gather around the campfire and tell stories about people people escaping improbable and frightening odds and completely ignore the hockey mask-wearing weirdo nearby.

This Wednesday, October 21, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Candice Lepage, Tim Phillips and Peter Salmon will discuss:

Halloween Horror Movie Draft 3-D. A relaxing time in the woods with old friends turns into a non-stop horror show as a man in a mask enters the picture and starts killing them all… in 3-D! Yes, per tradition, if it’s the last week in October, then it’s time for the Halloween Horror Movie Draft, and this year we’re doing it in the third dimension!!! The whole gang is here again to carefully curate some excellent (or fun) horror movies across six distinctive categories to come up with the perfect Halloween watchlist. [spooky voice] Join us, won’t you?

This week on End Credits, we’re posting through it. We will once again dive into the swampy morass of social media and moneyed interests run amok with the new based-on-a-true-story legal thriller The Social Reckoning in a theatre near you. We also dive into the director of The Social Reckoning, and he’s accomplished screenwriting career. 

This Wednesday, October 21, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss:

The Sorkin Scenes. Aaron Sorkin is one of the most celebrated and accomplished screenwriters of our time. He’s written scripts for extremely popular movies like A Few Good Men and The Social Network and created highly influential series like Sports Night and The West Wing, but some scenes are still better than others, right? To start this week’s show, we’re going to be talking about the A-sides from Sorkin’s film and TV work.

REVIEW: The Social Reckoning (2026). In 2010, David Fincher made The Social Network. Back then, social media was still in its infancy (so to speak) and the dangers were not yet fully revealed, so it makes sense to follow-up on this story 16 years later, right? The Fincher-less Social Reckoning features Mikey Madison as a Facebook whistleblower, Jeremy Allen White as a Wall Street Journal reporter looking to expose the company’s sins and Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg, our villain. But does Reckoning deliver the same blow as Network all these years later?

This week on End Credits, you know how this looks, right? On this show, we’re going to dig into the movie for the moment, which is about a 20-year-old TV show and starring one our most versatile actors. Yes, it’s time for Primetime, and along with that one, we will go back in time for another audacious movie that is also based on a true story! 

This Wednesday, October 14, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss:

Marie Antoinette at 20! For her third film, Sofia Coppola told the story of the last Queen of France, a woman made famous by her avarice and spending, and her dismissal of the concerns of France’s poor with an anachronistic catchphrase. Marie Antoinette wasn’t a big hit when it came out in 2006, but it’s one of those movies that people have come around to in the last two decades. So as Marie Antoinette turns 20, we will talk about what we missed the first time.

REVIEW: Primetime (2026). In the aughts, there was a show called To Catch a Predator, where journalist Chris Hansen confronted potential pedophiles lured to idyllic suburban settings through online chats and IMs. The phenomenon has been captured in the new film from Lance Oppenheim and starring Robert Pattinson. In Primetime, Pattinson plays Hansen who descends into a heart of darkness as the real struggle to safeguard children meets his desire for fame, fortune and legitimacy, and in the process they might have created the film that best explains our times. But is it good?

This week on End Credits we put it all on the line. There’s nothing quite like a fall movie by an acclaimed filmmaker where he puts all his chips in the middle of the table (and loses his shirt?) and that’s what we get with the new dark satire Digger, which you can now see in a theatre near you. Also, we will talk about the acting chops of the film’s star before he stretches them again.

This Wednesday, October 7, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss:

Tom Cruise: Actor. In recent years, Tom Cruise has built himself up as the “Mayor of Movies”, a man who will risk life and limb to preserve the spectacle of the theatrical movie experience. But while Cruise has become known as the guy will jump off anything for a thrill, his 40 years as a Hollywood star have featured some fairly good performances as well. To cue up the Digger review, we will go inside the acting studio with Tom Cruise (so to speak).

REVIEW: Digger (2006). This time last year, Warner Bros. won movies with a $150 million art house movie. So let’s do it again, right? In Digger, Alejandro G. Iñárritu takes the “Mayor of Movies”, Tom Cruise, and gets him into acting mode again as Digger Rockwell, a Texas oil baron that may have finally kicked climate change past the point of no return. The movie, to put it kindly, did not do well last weekend, and it split critics down the middle, which usually indicates that this is going to be a very interesting movie to talk about. So let’s dig into Digger!

This week on End Credits, we lift off! Ever dedicated to Canadian film, not to mention the work of Jay Baruchel, this week’s episode will have Cancon pouring out like maple syrup as we dig into the true Canadian story The Stunt Driver, which you can hopefully still see in a theatre near you. And if you like stunts, we will talk to you about stunts! 

***Due to National Day for Truth and Reconciliation programming, this week’s episode of End Credits will air at the special time slot of Friday at 2 pm! 

This Friday, October 2, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss:

Stunt Work. Stunts and stunt performers are finally getting their day in the sun. In a couple of years, the Oscars will finally start handing out an award for stunt work but the physical skill and dangers of stunt work go back to the earliest days of cinema and made stars out of people like Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin. Before getting into The Stunt Driver, we will salute all the stunt performers by talking about some of our favourite stunts!

The Stunt Driver (2026). There was a man called “The Mad Canadian”. His name was Ken Carter, and in the 1960s and 70s he was a travelling stunt man that would try and leap his car over just about anything, and then he had the idea to get in a rocket car and jump over the St. Lawrence River. The effort was captured in a National Film Board documentary, and now in a quasi-comedic docudrama from Goon director Michael Dowse and starring (and produced by) Jay Baruchel. So does this giant leap for Cancon land, or does it sink?

This week on End Credits, we’re running back to the theatres for the latest massive horror movie from a comedy director turned horror auteur. Yes, we’re going back to Racoon City with the latest entry in the Resident Evil series, which is now in theatres. We’re also going all the way back to 1976 again by tackling the latest entry in our “6 For ’76” series. It’s about boxing (hint).

This Wednesday, September 23, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss:

6 For ’76: Rocky. I Play Rocky was a big hit at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival and it’s all about how Rocky got made 50 years ago. The movie won the 1976 Oscar for Best Picture, probably because it stuck out like a sore thumb from the more dour entries as an underdog story about a never-was who gets his shot at the big time. Plus, it made writer and star Sylvester Stallone an icon in the process. Why does Rocky still hit as hard five decades later?

REVIEW: Resident Evil (2026). So this is the eighth entry in the franchise based on a long-running video game series about monster and zombies, why is everyone so exciting? Two words: Zach Cregger. The director of Barbarians and Weapons (surprisingly) took on the goal of resurrecting Resident Evil for his follow-up project, and dare we say it paid off? Starring Weapons breakout Austin Abrams, Resident Evil seems primed to be another horror movie smash success in 2026, but speaking critically for a minute, does the hype pay off in the end?

This week on End Credits we go to court. Cartoon court! Our review this week will focus on a movie you probably hadn’t heard about unless your deep in the wilds of Film Twitter, in which case you were very excited about this release. We’re talking about Coyote Vs. Acme, which is now in theatres and we will further sew our film dork reps by talking TIFF.

This Wednesday, September 16, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss:

The TIFF of the Spear! The Toronto International Film Festival continues in downtown Toronto, and while not everyone can go and take part every year, it’s usually not too hard to find the movies that make a big splash there. So we will talk TIFF by talking about some of our favourite movies that premiered there in the past; from indie classics to all-in-one-night rom-coms. We may not be celebrities or gossip reporters, but we can TIFF too!

REVIEW: Coyote Vs. Acme (2026). It’s been a cause célèbre among Letterboxd types for years. Originally earmarked for deletion in order to reap tax benefits, Warner Bros. eventually let someone else release Coyote Vs. Acme, a courtroom comedy featuring Looney Tunes character Wile E. Coyote suing the Acme Corporation for years of buying crappy products in his effort to eat the Road Runner. Starring Will Forte and John Cena, no one was expecting much of Coyote Vs. Acme, so why might it end up being one of the best surprises of the 2026 movie year?

This week on End Credits we get meta. Again. We’re reviewing the satirical surrealist psychological slasher film Teenage Sex and Death and Camp Miasma, which you can still find in some theatres, and will be coming soon to Mubi, the curated streaming site. Along similar lines, we will dedicate the first part of the show to some of our favourite horror remakes from the 2000s.

This Wednesday, September 9, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss:

The 2000s Horror Remakes Draft. It’s still technically summer, but the weirdos already think it’s mid-fall. It’s that time of year to dust off all your favourite horror movies, warm up the Shudder app, and get rolling on spookiness as we talk about a very particular trend in the first decade of this century. At the time, there was no major horror title from the 1970s and 80s that could not be remade and to kick-off this week’s show, we’re going to draft some of them.

REVIEW: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026). In the movie inside a movie, Camp Miasma features a box-headed killer stalking the horny young people at a summer camp. Sound familiar? This part might too, a hotshot young director fresh off Sundance success is recruited to resurrect some “zombie I.P.” to update and relaunch a long since forgotten film franchise. Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma has a familiar story, but it’s doing some weird and interesting things, so why might this quietly be the movie of the year?

This week on End Credits, we’re cooking! We will head into the kitchen with the bio-pic about celebrity chef before he was famous in the new coming-of-age film Tony, which you can now see in a theatre near you. We will also talk about some other movies coming soon to theatres as we mark the last week of summer to talk about some fall movie releases.

This Wednesday, September 2, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss:

Fall Movie Preview. It’s the most wonderful time of the year! To this day, Hollywood saves it’s most daring, interesting, and yes, controversial, movies for the end of the last third of the year, and now that time is finally here!! From highly anticipated video game movies to foul-mouthed assassins on Easter Island to Robert Pattinson doing another funny voice, we will talk about some of our hotly anticipated movies coming soon in the next couple of months.

REVIEW: Tony (2026). Before he was a famous chef, TV host and celebrated foodie, Anthony Bourdain was Tony. Set in 1975, and based on about 50 pages in Bourdain’s best selling memoir Kitchen Confidential, Tony (played by Dominic Sessa) follows Bourdain in his first kitchen job at a quaint seafood restaurant in a New England tourist town. Directed by Matt Johnson, whose last movie was Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie, Tony tries to lampshade a lot of conventions of the bio-pic, but is it a good time at the movies?
