The John Oakley Show #0001
As TIFF kicks off its 50th anniversary in Toronto, John Oakley
opens the show with a look at how the city is celebrating its cinematic
legacy—and how it’s coping with a darker reality: rising violent crime and a
shaken sense of safety.
Film critic Peter Howell of the Toronto Star joins to
preview this year’s festival buzz, from must-watch screenings to Oscar hopefuls
like The Smashing Machine. But it's not all red carpets and celebrity sightings—John
also tackles the recent tragedy in Vaughan, where a father was killed in a home
invasion, sparking a larger debate on self-defence, police response times, and
how Toronto residents are reacting.
From DIY flamethrowers to panic rooms and escape drills, listeners
call in with jaw-dropping methods for protecting their homes—and Tom McDonald,
the provocative rapper behind The Devil Is a Democrat, drops in to talk
about fame, Trump, and the state of free speech in North America.
Music by Michael Downey - Production by Michael Downey and Santiago Bedoya.
