Janette's TV Podcast

Kim's Convenience is a Canadian television sitcom that aired on CBC Television from October 2016 to April 2021 as well as Netflix.

The series depicts the Korean Canadian Kim family that runs a convenience store in the Moss Park 

neighbourhood of Toronto: parents "Appa" (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) and "Umma" (Jean Yoon) – Korean for dad and mom, respectively – along with their daughter Janet (Andrea Bang) and estranged son Jung (Simu Liu). In this Janette’s TV & Janette’s TV Podcast episode, as part of accredited media at The Canadian Screen Actors Awards virtual red carpet, Janette sits down with the two stars to talk about what attracted them to their roles, what their roles meant to them as actors of colour & members of the Asian community, what they want to be remembered for & why, how playing “Appa” & “Umma” changed their lives, and much more

Written and directed by Danis Goulet, who is Cree Métis from northern

Saskatchewan, Night Raiders is a film about harm, abuse, violence, and/or

intergenerational trauma due to colonial practices. It is one of the most

important Canadian films made in recent times. A searing thriller set in the

near future; it digs deep into Canada's painful past to craft a compelling,

propulsive piece of genre cinema.

After a destructive war across North America, a military occupation seizes

control of society. One of their core tactics: taking children from their

families and putting them into State Academies or forced-education camps.

Niska (played by Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers) is a Cree mother desperate to

protect her daughter Waseese (played by Brooklyn Letexier-Hart). But events

force mother and daughter to separate, leading Niska to join a group of Cree

vigilantes to get her daughter back.

This story echoes the real forced assimilation of Indigenous children that

colonizing powers undertook in Canada, the US, Australia, and beyond. It

transforms the ugly reality of residential schools into remarkable,

cinematic piece. Goulet's vision, combined with powerful performances from

Tailfeathers, Letexier-Hart, and Gail Maurice, bring this speculative future

into dialogue with our past. Night Raiders is not just a singular Canadian

film, but a new view of Canada for the entire world.

Janette's TV & Podcast were among Canada's top accredited media at The

Canadian Screen Actors Awards virtual red carpet press room interviewing the

event's big winners. In this second episode of our special CSA series,

Janette talks with actress Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers, who took home the award

for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for her performance in

this movie, about what this role meant to her and the Indigenous community,

and what she would like to see happen next for Indigenous actors, writers,

directors, and producers.

Diaz won Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role – an incredible accomplishment considering this was his first-ever acting job. Scarborough is an amazing movie with a powerful message that explores the struggles, endurance, and resilience of this culturally diverse Toronto community through the lives of three kids growing up within a system that has set them up for failure. Filmed on location in the Kingston-Galloway/West Hill neighbourhood, Scarborough takes place over the course of a school year. Producer/Writing team, Shaskha Nakhai & Rich Willaimson, winners of Best Achievement in Direction, were also on-hand to discuss what motivated them to make this film.

Born and raised in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, Maitreyi identifies as 'Tamil-Canadian' rather than 'Sri Lankan’. She began acting in school plays in Grade 10 and graduated from Meadowvale Secondary School. She made the decision to pursue an acting career in her last year at Meadowvale and landed the lead role of “Devi Vishwakumar” in the Netflix teen comedy series Never Have I Ever less than a year after. Ramakrishnan deferred her acceptance to the theatre program at York University in Toronto, which she had initially planned to attend the fall after she graduated high school, so she could shoot the series in Los Angeles. Janette caught up with her a Liquid Media’s Tiff party to discuss the series which first aired in July 2020 was renewed by Netflix for a second season August 2021 and deals with the coming-of-age of an Indian-American high school student coping with the sudden death of her father. This is Ramakrishnan’s first-ever acting role. She was selected by the show’s creator, Mindy Kalin (whose life the show is loosely based-on), out of 15,000 applicants who applied in an open casting call. Never Have I Ever has been described as a watershed moment for South Asian representation in Hollywood and has received praise for breaking South Asian stereotypes. A third season is in the making.
