That Judge John Hodgman podcast also has a lengthy docket-clearing discussion of the definition of irony, as it relates to the Alanis Morisette song.

Ooh! Ooh! A VanDerBadge!

Wait, they're not the same city? It's Canada, right?

And I'm still not, apparently.
Calgary wins.

Yes, I was misinformed. The earliest listing I can find is for October 26th at the San Diego Asian Film Festival, so if there are no further objections, I now pronounce that the North American Premiere.
