Janette's TV Podcast

Shot in Brazil, in the short film, The Pleasure Is All Mine, Filmmaker Vanesa Sandre raises two  pertinent questions: why is female sexuality such a taboo subject? And why is it so rare to see a woman’s sexual journey carried out on screen, especially by a 76-year old who has never had an orgasm?
 
During our limited time on earth, most of us want to live the best life possible. That includes experiencing sexual pleasure. For some of us, this sensation can last well up into our 80’s, or even until death. We may not want to think of ourselves or our elders as having desires or being sexually active beyond our golden years. But, if you’re active in your youth, you may find little change in your sexual practices and urges as you age. In fact, they may even become more intense.
 
In this interview, Vanessa and I discuss these very real stats and truths of sexuality in retirement homes. We also talk about what led her to make this film, drawing upon her feminist film theory studies and her quest to present the female perspective as a counterpoint to the ever-so dominant male view in the film industry. Highly influenced by European feminist theorists, like Laura Mulvey, and female directors, like Agnès Varda and Chantal Akerman, Vanesa continues to shine a new light on telling women’s stories.
 
Through the main character Amélia (who married a young virgin, raised a family, put her own needs last and spouse doesn’t listen to her) the film depicts an elderly woman's journey to discover pleasure and explore her own sexuality. We witness her bittersweet experimentation towards freedom and pleasure without the typical shame or embarrassment associated with these topics. Instead, there is humor, joy and relief in her self discovery that we can all learn from.

You likely remember him as Ritchie Valens in the biographical drama film La Bamba (1987). And for Stand and Deliver (1988) for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award and won an Independent Spirit Award.

Do your know your physical and emotional limits? 

For holding her breath and submerging herself into the depths of the ocean from the Bahamas to Antarctica, Jessea Lu holds several national records in freediving. In 2018, she attempted to set a world record but fell short: after achieving her target depth of 93 metres. Lu suffered a blackout while returning to the surface. Rescued by her safety crew, she was lifeless for four minutes. The near-death experience was like a rebirth for Lu, who didn’t abandon the sport but rather challenged herself to face her fears and continue to chase new depths. All of this is featured in the documentary 7 Beats Per Minute, shown at  Hotdocs, now on the Festival Film Tour around North America, before  streaming on Crave & Other Platforms

I met up with Director and Writer Yuqi Kang in Toronto at Hotdocs to discuss the driving forces behind Lu’s decisions, the deep and intimate bond with Lu, following her intense training and joining her in the ocean as the two discover their similarities, and the vulnerability of coming to terms with past traumas and looking for fresh starts, and realize that trusting ourselves and others is a necessary part of the complicated human condition.

Do you free to live your life and be the person you were meant to be?Hear Jackie Shane sing once and you’ll never forget it. Yet, after shattering barriers as one of pop music’s first Black trans performers, this trail-blazing icon vanished from the spotlight at the height of her fame. From modest beginnings in Nashville, Shane soon recognized her talents and, in her late teens, made her way to Boston and Montreal, working the nightclub circuit while taking the stage with Frank Motley, a musician known for playing two trumpets at once. Her arrival in Toronto during its 1960s music explosion made her a highly sought-after headlining act who seemed destined to take her place among the R&B stars of the era. Blending her music with never-released phone conversations and soulful animated re-enactments, Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story brings Shane back to life in her own words, finally providing the recognition she so rightly deserves and introducing her to a generation fighting for their right to be their true selves.In this episode, I sit down with Michael Mabbott, Director, Producer, Writer, and Editor, Lucah Rosenberg-Lee, Director and Writer to talk about Jackie’s incredible talent, tragic life, and death.

Remember your first summer romance and how it made you feel? 

Sweeties  is a documentary that follows three 14-year-old girls as they embark on a summer holiday with their families to a campsite in the South of France. Feelings and aspirations of young love are in the air. The outdoor campsites, however, are in stark contrast with the online world, where a lot of the girls’ connections are rooted. Talk of what love is, the changes in how people approach romance, the pressures of social media, and the anxieties of coming of age are laid bare with poignant intimacy. For Malak, the camp experience offers a chance to find a new romantic connection. Celia longs for the partner she has but must face the unwanted distance between them. Meanwhile, the only connections Jae wants are those on her phone. The three girls have differing expectations going in but soon find that this summer holiday will be not only memorable but transformative as well.

I caught-up with Dutch Director & Editor, Anneke de Lind van Wijngaarden at HotDocs to talk about how, despite not having any children of her own, she was successfully able to become part of her teenage subjects’ private worlds and how mother’s & grandmother’s can do the same; why it was important to show the different stages of love & romance from the teenage girl’s perspective & how similar patterns repeat for women in life’s later years, why the adventures & misadventures the girls go thorough are to be seriously considered and why she wanted to avoid the negative stereotypes associated with teenage girls and focus on the positive.

What’s your superpower? For actress and activist, Lenore Zann, best known for playing “Rogue” (based on Marvels comics superhero team) in the X-Men Series, the 90’s X-Men: The Animated Series Disney+ revival X-Men ’97, it’s fighting for the underdog. A skill she derives from her character as well as serving as a Member of Parliament and in the House of Commons of Canada for the Liberal Party for 12 years.
Lenore’s passion for helping others began in Sydney, New Sout Wales, Australia where she was born and heavily influenced by her grandmother. She emigrated to Canada with her parents in 1968, first residing in Regina, Saskatchewan, then  Truro, Nova Scotia where she graduated from Cobequid Educational Centre. She later attended York University to study drama, fine arts and political science.
Prior to entering federal politics, an award-winning performer, Lenore has had various screen, voice-over, television and gaming roles since she burst on the entertainment scene at age 19 playing Marilyn Monroe in the live rock opera "Hey Marilyn!"   She also represented the electoral district of Truro-Bible Hill in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 2009 until 2019 as a member of the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party and from June 9, 2019, until September 12, 2019, as an independent.
 
In this episode, she joins me to discuss what portraying “Rouge” means to her, how’s she’s adopted “Rouge’s” superpowers in her own life,  what she wants women & girls to emulate from “Rogue’s” behaviour, her upcoming book “A Rouge’s Tale”, movie roles, Comicon appearances, and legislative endeavours!

Are you a sucker for romance?
 
Love is in the air this Spring, and at Sky Gardens!
 
Released in 2021, the made-for-TV movie stars Hong Kong born Canadian actress, Jenny Raven, known for her work as “Gwen” on Kim’s Convenience, Irina Wong in the American film Flatliners and Sasha Dixon in the television series Designated Survivor. Another notable performance was as “Jasmine” in Arkangel, a Series 4 episode of the British television series Black Mirror.
 
In Love at Sky Gardens, Raven portrays “Deirdre” - a barista with a passion for designing rooftop gardens. When she accidentally spills coffee on regular customer, event planner Marcus, just before a big meeting with his boss, it sets the wrong tone for him to discuss a job promotion. Deirdre then offers to help Marcus get back on track by lending her rooftop-garden-design services for his boss' next big event: a wedding. His boss agrees to Deirdre's help but also wants Jacob, Marcus' competition for the promotion, to co-plan the wedding. As they work around the clock together, Marcus and Deirdre notice something more about each other and love takes root. But a series of misunderstandings threaten to wilt their growing love. It takes a small miracle to bring them back together where love blooms.  Raven was nominated for Best Lead Actress at the 2023 Canadian Screen Actors Awards (CSA) for this role.
 
The film was directed by Samantha Wan, another Canadian actress, screenwriter, producer, and web series creator who was nominated for Best Director. Wan is best-known for co-creating, writing, and starring in the City television series Second Jen. Since 2017, she has starred in the Global Television Network series Private Eyes  and in 2022 CBC's Run the Burbs. She is also of Chinese decent and has been outspoken about the need for more diversity and accurate Asian representation on television and in the media.
 
On the red carpet at CSA, I briefly caught up with the pair to discuss what things you must consider that make for a good director and how hard it is to be a lead character.

How important is family and community to you?
Heartland is a Canadian family comedy-drama television series that debuted in Canada on CBC Television and originally in the United States on The CW Plus syndication on October 14, 2007. Since 2010, the show's been airing on Up TV in first-run broadcast, and still continues to be broadcast as apart of the service's weekend schedule.
The show is based on the Heartland book series by Lauren Brooke and follows Amy Fleming and her older sister Louise "Lou" Fleming on their Alberta-based family ranch, 'Heartland', where they live with their widowed grandfather Jack Bartlett, their father Tim Fleming and hired farmhand Ty Borden. While experiencing the highs and lows of life on the ranch, the family bonds and grows closer.
With the airing of its 139th episode on March 29, 2015, Heartland surpassed Street Legal as the longest-running one-hour scripted drama in Canadian television history.
On June 1, 2022, CBC renewed the series for Season 16 which consisted of 15 episodes and premiered on October 2, 2022 in Canada. In May 2023, the series was renewed for a 17th season with an unspecified number of episodes that premiered in Canada on October 1, 2023.
In the United States, the series has wide distribution through broadcast syndication on weekends, including as part of the default national schedule for Up TV and The CW Plus and new episodes become available as of 2021, on Up Faith & Family, the network's streaming service months after full seasons finish their runs in Canada and later premiere in the US linearly on the main network and all later seasons are exclusive to Up Faith & family first before they go up to available for syndication on other American networks and streaming services that aren't affiliated with UP tv or its sister networks. Reruns of older episodes air on Hulu, Pluto TV, Crackle, Tubi, BYUtv, Retro TV, COZI TV, and Heartland (which is not named for the series). It was also a part of the schedule on the now defunct Light TV until it was rebranded as TheGrio TV on January 15, 2021. The show is also available on Netflix and various other streaming platforms in the US as well.
No wonder the show was nominated for Best Dramatic Series at the 2023 Canadian Screen Actors Awards where I met up with cast members, Michelle Morgan (“Lou Flemming”), Aidan Moreno (“Ricke Aderly”) and Michelle Nolden (Jessica Cook”) on the red carpet to talk about the show’s appeal, storylines that embrace LGBT issues, family, immigrants, & community, and what will happen next.

Do you love a good laugh? How about when the joke is on you? 

Roast Battle Canada is a Canadian television comedy series. it premiered on CTV Comedy Channel in October 2021 as an adaptation of the American series Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle. The series presents battles in which pairs of comedians take turns roasting each other on stage, before a panel of judges who decides the winner of each battle.

The judges for the series are Russell Peters, Sabrina Jalees and K. Trevor Wilson, with Ennis Esmer serving as host of the series.

The first episode, featuring comedians Daniel Woodrow, Keith Pedro, Brittany Lyseng and Mike Rita, received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for best performance in a variety or sketch comedy program or series at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022. The second season premiere, featuring Salma Hindy, Sophie Buddle, Jean Paul and Ron Josol, was nominated in the same category at the 11th Canadian Screen Awards (CSA)) in 2023.

On the CSA red carpet, I caught up with Canadian Stand-up Comedian, Salma Hindy and Executive Producer, Shane Corkery Executive Producer to talk about the show, the best & worst aspects of roasting, and when a joke goes too far.
