End Credits #397 - June 25, 2025 (Materialists)

This week on End Credits we're once again celebrating #PedroSummer! (Patent pending.) The movie this time is a supposed romantic story that a lot of people are watching and having big discussions about. We're going to check out Materialists, and we're also going to start counting down to an other milestone episode with our favourite gimmick!

This Wednesday, June 25, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss:

21st Century Horror (Not a) Draft. This week we start the countdown to the 400th episode, which will be our 21st century movie draft, and to kick things off, we're talking about horror movies. (Why not? Candice is here!) So the first in a series of three drafts/not-drafts - meaning similar rules but no stakes - we will talk about some of the great horror movies of the century so far from new and old franchises to elevated horror.

REVIEW: Materialists (2025). Celine Song's first movie, Past Lives, was universally beloved (including by the people on this show), but her follow-up film, Materialists, has generated somewhat more... mixed feelings. The plot follows a high-end matchmaker (Dakota Johnson) who gets caught between a wealthy hedge fund guy (Pedro Pascal) and her poor cater-waiter/actor ex (Chris Evans). It's a classic rom-com set-up, but this is not a rom-com as Song undermines all expectations, so what do we make the most talked about movie of the year?

End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
