End Credits #436 - April 8, 2026 (The Drama)
from Guelph Politicast · host Adam A. Donaldson
This week on End Credits, things get dramatic. We will skip the blockbuster of the week for the more nutritious meal in the form of the star-studded indie The Drama, which you can, and should, see in a theatre near you. We will also talk about the phenomenon of the video game movie, a kind of sequel itself from our last conversation on the subject nearly eight years ago! This Wednesday, April 8, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Game On! Maybe you were one of the millions of people who spent part of the weekend seeing The Super Mario Bros. Galaxy Movie, probably in the company of your kids. For over 30 years Hollywood has tried to capture the youthful excitement and fun of video games in movie form, but are we getting any closer to making it a unique genre like comic book movies? This week, we will look at video game, and video game adjacent, movies. REVIEW: The Drama (2026). It's probably the most excellent counter-programing to The Super Mario Bros. Galaxy Movie, an A24 romantic dramedy starring two genuine movie stars with a *sick* twist at the beginning of the movie. Considering our spoiler adverse culture, we won't ruin the movie here, but in our review, we will dig into the spoiler-y goodness about seeing a couple played by Robert Pattinson and Zendaya fall apart on their wedding week. Does The Drama deliver on the promise of its name, or is it much ado about nothing? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
