This week on End Credits, we're being careful about what we're pretending to be. Sly references to Vonnegut aside, things aren't quite that serious today as this episode tackles the lies we tell when we fall in love while pretending to be a contract killer in Hit Man. But the fun doesn't stop there because we're going to Tatooine and back with a return visit to the galaxy far, far away!
This Wednesday, June 5, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss:
The Phantom Menace at 25! It took nearly 20 years of waiting but Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace opened in theatres, and it happened now exactly a quarter of a century ago! At the time, the hype was so massive that everyone felt it, but the follow on negging by fans was almost just as massive. It's taken a long time, but the Star Wars prequels are having a renaissance, so how does The Phantom Menace stand now 25 years later?
REVIEW: Hit Man (2024). He stole scenes in Top Gun: Maverick, and he stole Sydney Sweeney's heart in Anyone But You, so with this much heat there's only one thing that Glen Powell could do: Play a nebbish college prof turned pretend hit man in a Richard Linklater movie. But don't get us wrong, it turns out that there's lots of heat in Hit Man as Powell gets in way over his head and falls in love with a woman that tries to hire him to wack her abusive husband. Can these two Texas boys - Linklater and Powell - put a little rom-com spice in our summer movie viewing?
End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
