Had to cancel a gig last night coz my larynx exploded again (see pinned post, getting real tired of it tbh) and if anyone would like to see my Edinburgh show from this August I posted it on my Patreon so you can still see me yelling if you like.

Of course. But millions of Canadians are excited to see what happens next to the unforgettable characters from The Sweet Hereafter. Such as Mitchell Stephens, the lawyer from away.

Trump is forcing Hollywood to make a new Rush Hour. Now it’s time for Mark Carney to demand The Sweet Hereafter II.

Rush Hour 3 was admittedly not great but I think they’ll get it right with Part 4 now that they’ve had 18 years to think and reflect.
