The "Scanners" Franchise And Some Unique Canadian Foods

NOTE: This podcast was rebranded on 5/29/25 as "Horror Movie Franchises".  Most people have heard of "Scanners" from 1981. It's most famous for it's head explosions. The practical effects still hold up after all these years. But did you know there were four more films in the franchise? I didnt. Only the original had David Cronenberg's involvement. The rest are direct to video and have basically the same plot. The villains are pretty good though.  In honor of this Canadian franchise, i also includes some unique foods from a Foodnetwork.ca article here Definitely check out the barnacles, fiddleheads, dulce (red seawood) and Cod tongue.  Photo Credit: Here
