In our 9th episode, we talk about what we’ve been up to for the past month and dive into Don McKellar’s celebrated apocalypse film, Last Night.  Given that David is a Canadian and Shaun is an American, we take a look at the film’s Canadianisms, discuss its exploration of character and the meaning of “the self” in the moments before apocalypse, and much more! We’re also still working on our Subscriber Drive so we can add a second regular episode to the show.  Help us spread the word! Enjoy!
