Send us a message and get a shoutout!Opening movie scenes have taught us so much.  Be careful where you swim, burying a dead body can seem not so sinister, if accompanied by smooth narration and a classic crooner soundtrack and if you don't tip your servers before a bank heist, it may come back to haunt you.  A great opening movie scene can tell us everything we need to know about what we are about to embark on as moviegoers.  This week on Formidable Opponents, we look at the "tells," the action sequences, the dialogue and the excitement these opening minutes have provided us.  Although we won't debate what "Like a Virgin" is about, we will debate what is the all-time Best Movie Opening Scene; plus, we'll wrap up with our reviews on some popular Canadian snacks.   The perfect combination!Reach out to us and follow us:[email protected] (Contact us)https://formidableopponents.buzzsprout.com/ (Website)https://memo.fm/formidableopponents  (Message us and get your voice on the show!)@Fopponents (Twitter)formidable_opponents (Instagram)FormidableOpponents (Facebook)https://www.buymeacoffee.com/foropponents (Show us some love)Cover art by Creative Little Pillhttps://www.instagram.com/creativelittlepill/opensea.io/collection/mysweetskull/Sponsored by Athletic Greenshttps://www.athleticgreens.com Use custom check out code (“EMERGING”)Support the showReach out to us and follow us:[email protected] (Contact us)https://formidableopponents.buzzsprout.com/ (Website)@Fopponents (Twitter)formidable_opponents (Instagram)FormidableOpponents (Facebook)@formidableopponents (Tik Tok)https://www.buymeacoffee.com/foropponents (Show us some love)Merchandisehttps://formidableopponents.creator-spring.com/Cover art by Creative Little Pillhttps://www.instagram.com/creativelittlepill/https://creative-little-pill.creator-spring.com/Magic Mindhttps://www.magicmind.com/opponents

Jonathan has appeared in countless plays around the world - and made a fair few celebrated acquaintances along the way.

And because you'll be privy to conversations among great pals with a mutual passion, this is more akin to drinking at the Dress Circle Bar with some of the finest theatre artists of a generation than waiting for their autographs on a chilly rainswept backstreet in the depths of night.
