This week on End Credits, we get bad. Cue the Inner Circle music because we're heading back to the Halcyon days of the mid-90s to revisit a couple of bad boys. And then, in the here and now, we're going to talk about people behaving badly in the name of patriotic service with the new spy thriller Black Bag. God save the King and the movie-going audience!
This Wednesday, March 26, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss:
Bad Boys at 30! Could you have imagined that when Bad Boys came out three decade ago that we'd still be cranking out Bad Boys movies in the 2020s? Probably not. Bad Boys didn't look like a movie that would stand the test of time, another dumb buddy cop action movie, but it launched Will Smith to superstardom, Michael Bay to blank cheque status, and it became a franchise of surprising longevity. Today, we go back to the beginning.
REVIEW: Black Bag (2025). What if Steven Soderbergh took Mr. and Mrs. Smith seriously, but not, like, too seriously...? That kind of seems like the pitch for Black Bag, a spy thriller about married spies played by Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett where a man must determine whether his beloved wife is traitor, or whether it's one of their frenemies in the agency. It's high stakes, but done with the same Soderbergh light touch as his Ocean's 11 movies, so do we black bag Black Bag, or should all of you open the bag and dive in!
End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
