For a problematic Canadian holiday, we watched two Canadian movies with problems. First, Toronto\u2019s Rob Ford scandal meets millennial media angst in the 2020 drama Run This Town. Then, a Montreal reporter with an advanced case of horniness organizes a newspaper union in the 1974 sex comedy Why Rock The Boat?
\nTara and Jacob discuss Damian Lewis\u2019 baffling Rob Ford impression, sexy popcorn eating, and our true patriot love for seeing characters take their shoes off when they come inside.
