Greetings, patrons!  This week, we're covering the 2023 Whistler Films Festival, one of the most interesting festivals in the Pacific Northwest because it so often features great Canadian content.   We're covering our usual two films, both playing as part of the fest.  First up is the new Canadian relationship drama The Burning Season and then Todd Haynes' new Natalie Portman & Julianne Moore starring drama May December.  Whistler Film Festival:The online portion of this year's Whistler Film Festival runs from now until December 17th, 2023. There are a lot of great films to watch!Link: https://www.whistlerfilmfestival.com/browse/2023#view=onlineBONUS CONTENT:     This week's bonus episode for Patreon supporters has us discussing formative experiences with video gaming, and as Warner Brothers continues their campaign of destroying their own reputation by deleting content, we talk about content we own digitally and which we'd be saddest to lose.
