    Another one of our favourite episodes from our sister podcast We Regret To Inform You: The Rejection Podcast and just in time for the holiday, is the rejection story of the movie Elf. This beloved and timeless Christmas classic, starring Will Ferrell brought in over $200M at the box office.

  • The Beatlology Interviews: "Beatles ’64” director David Tedeschi

    The Beatlology Interviews: "Beatles ’64” director David Tedeschi
    Nov 25 2024
    I talk to director David Tedeschi about his new Beatles film. Produced by Martin Scorsese, it captures the mania of Beatlemania when the Fab Four land in New York for the first time in 1964, including their historic appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. David tells us how it all came together, and what surprising things he learned about this first Fab Four trip. The film contains 17 minutes of brand new footage (restored by Pater Jackson’s company), the soundtrack has been remixed by Giles Martin, and contains new interviews with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.

    Mark has produced nine albums for Ringo. Before that, he was part of the Hudson Brothers. They had hit songs and the Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle TV show made them teen idols in the 70s. Mark is a huge Beatles fan and collector - and has spent time with all four Beatles. He’s a great storyteller.

  • Weight Loss Drug Ads: Good or Bad?

    Weight Loss Drug Ads: Good or Bad?
    Oct 5 2024

    Companies are spending big bucks advertising weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Rybelsus.

    This week, we’re dropping an episode of Brian Goldman’s White Coat, Black Art podcast into our feed.

    We thought you might find the topic interesting. In Canada, "reminder ads" can only give the medication's name, but they can’t tell you what the drug is for. They just tell people to ask their doctor for more information.

    I join Dr. Goldman in this episode to talk about those ads.

    Are those ads good – or are they bad?
