I watched Contagion while I was home recovering from the Norwalk virus a few years ago - for some reason it gave me comfort to watch people worse off than me. This was the ‘lay on the couch drinking Gatorade’ phase of Norwalk, to be clear. Not the ‘sleep on the floor of the bathroom because you are not leaving that…

I have loved Boy George since I was little - this is so exciting. I remember my mom taking me back to school shopping in grade three or four and me saying that I wanted to buy clothes that Boy George would wear (I think that meant baggy pants and long jackets and possibly hats). I didn’t quite ‘get’ him at the time, I…

He has talked about it publicly before and accepted responsibility and apologized, so I don’t imagine that it would be swept under the rug if the biopic goes into the 2000s.

Agreed - I didn’t watch it last year but heard so many great things about it in season two that I binged it all to catch up. It quickly became a favourite comedy (with the Good Place and B99), and I found myself really caring that it would get another season. So disappointed in this news - though after it was…

I was surprised not to see it on the list too, but I didn’t realize it was no longer available in the US. It’s only been in Canada for probably 5 years or less, but it’s by far my favourite sauce of their (great with the fries, too!).

I am legit annoyed that this song isn’t on Spotify. I’ve looked. Multiple times.

The onion rings are the best (agree that Harvey’s are #2, but I hate their burgers so much I haven’t been to one in at least 15 years). I don’t even know what the fries at A&W taste like, because it’s rings or nothing. But I agree that they are quite pricey; but hey, for the 2-3 times a year that I go there, it’s…

I was so looking forward to this - I’m a big fan of Drew Tarver especially, but also the rest of the cast. Loved the pilot; thought it was really funny, but also sweet, and I can’t wait to see more. For Canadians looking to watch it, you can catch the pilot on the Comedy Network website (with cable login).

I’ve had this in my Netflix list for months. I really really want to watch it because in a lot of ways it parallels my life (and the cast is incredible), but also, because of those parallels to my own life, I feel like it’s going to destroy me too. One of these days...

He tweets like my brother texts, and my brother has mental health problems and is, more often than not, drunk or high.

Same. I have lots of friends with young kids that I see infrequently, so of course they aren’t comfortable hugging me since we barely know each other. It doesn’t matter to them that I’ve known their mom or dad since high school - to them I’m just a random adult that they see four or five times a year. I HATE it when…

Honestly if you’re avoiding Schitt’s Creek for the name alone, you’re only hurting yourself. The show is a joy bomb in a garbage world and it’s funny as hell to boot. If you want to deprive yourself of that because you think the name is stupid, I don’t know what to tell you.

More important than the mouth, is the brain. 

I just encountered a really stupid new rule at our LCBO (which is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, aka the liquor store, which in Canada is completely operated by the provincial government). I bought a six pack of craft beer for my dad to include in his birthday gift, and it turned out I had bought a type of beer…

Agree with everything, and I’ll add Deeper Shade of Shade to the list of reasons that make subscribing to the Stitcher app worth it. This week’s guest is John Early!

I was always way more into Road Rules than Real World, but I did watch both. I just loved the concept of the group getting missions and changing locations on a regular basis - it made everything more fun and exciting, and to my memory, meant it didn’t have to rely on melodrama quite so much (not that it wasn’t there).…

Even then, you’d hope someone would have the smarts to say, ‘ya know, I should prolly read a few papers before I have any opinions on that question.’

Gay, and I completely agree. I remember how much it meant to me to see Thompson on Kids in the Hall as a young gay Canadian in the 90's. Buddy was everything, even though he’d been through it all and was so jaded that it intimidated me a bit. To my knowledge, he hasn’t been recognized by any Canadian LGBT…

There is, but it usually follows twenty minutes of talk about anything from Harry Potter, to protein bars, teen life in 1980's NorCal, and episodes of various spin-off podcasts, each ranging from about 10-60 seconds.

Someone at my work told me I “had” to see the movie White Christmas, and I finally just said fine, I’ll borrow it from you. So they brought me a VHS and I told them I had no way to watch it, and they couldn’t believe it. I mean, I barely even use my DVD player anymore. Anyway, I was happy I could skip the whole,…
