In his continued series of putting the spotlight on physical media labels that he loves, Matt gets to show his national pride for Canadian International Pictures. As a relatively new partner label of Vinegar Syndrome, CIP has been making great releases for underseen gems across many different genres of films made within the Canadian film industry. These films may not have the kind of notoriety for film fans, but CIP dedicates their efforts to presenting them at their best.

The episode starts with a bit of information about how a fledgling Canadian feature film industry was created in the early 1960s, how Canadian International Pictures chooses and curates their releases, and some (OK...many) recommendations to check out across different genres and movie-going interests. Prepare to discover something that you've likely not heard of but may just end up being your new favourite film!
