Hello, my name's Justin the Clue, and I'm here today with a very tired and frustrated Will Sloan.

And today it's a very special episode, because we're going to be talking about Paul Gross.

And you're probably like, who is Paul Gross? Should I know who he is? Is this important? And I got to say, we're going to be talking about Paul Gross, but we're also going to be talking about Canadian cinema. And I don't think there's anyone more recognizable that says Canadian cinema today than Paul Gross. What about Adam McGowan? What about David Cronomberg? That is making movies right now that people care about that's Xavier Dolan.

He's Quebec.

That's not part of Canada.

Is it right now?

Yeah.

And the first question I have to ask right off the bat is, Will, what the hell is Canadian

cinema?

Well, you know, it's like the Supreme Court said about pornography.

I know it when I see it.

When I watched a whole bunch of Paul Gross movies for this podcast,

I also watched a bunch of Canadian films.

And looking and reading about it, people usually think that Canada...

You didn't even watch good Canadian films either.

You watched score hockey musical and you watched Gunless.

You watched the dregs. I watched Cold Comfort that Paul Gross was also in and you watched gunless. You watched the dregs.

I watched cold comfort that Paul Gross was also in and slings and arrows, which is another

Paul Gross production.

That's supposed to be good.

And I mean, when I think of Canadian cinema, I think of Kitchen Sink dramas, documentaries,

animation, and quaintness, kind of like, you know, they want to step on anybody's toes.
