    17. Spider-Man: Brand New Day | Greta Gerwig’s Narnia Getting Wide Netflix Theatrical Release

    First I talk about my most hyped movie of the summer: Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is set to heighten the MCU Spidey franchise as a practical, street level film finally giving us the poor, depressed, lonely Spider-Man we’ve been craving for a decade 🤣. Also: why I’m apparently the only guy on the internet that doesn’t buy the X-Men theory about this movie. Second, Netflix shocks by giving Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Narnia film not only a wide, mass theatrical release (a first in Netflix history) but a full 55-day EXCLUSIVE theatrical window. Is this a one-off, or a signal they’re finally coming to their senses and embracing theatrical?

    Courts CANCEL AB Separatist Referendum | Vice CA Drug Smuggling Ring Film Adaptation

    In some breaking news, an Alberta court has ordered that the upcoming separatist referendum cannot go ahead due to the failure to even attempt consulting with First Nations (on top of the legal issues surrounding the leak of the entire voter list, exposing the personal information of most Albertans, and creating the risk that a significant number of petition signatures for the referendum could be forged). An update on Ontario Liberal leadership hopeful Nate Erskine Smith, as he is now officially appealing the results of the Scarborough-Southwest byelection due to serious allegations of irregularities, vote buying, and interference from the party establishment (most notably 34 ballots that were apparently not counted, in a race won by only 19 votes). Canadian director Matt Johnson (Nirvana: The Band: The Show: The Movie, BlackBerry) is set to direct a movie based on the insane true story of the Vice Canada editor who recruited drug mules out of the office for an international cocaine smuggling ring. Another liberal leadership candidate is turning heads by calling for mass deportations of nearly ALL temporary residents in Canada Patreon.com/specialinterest YouTube.com/@specialinterest7

    Zionists Outraged CRA Enforcing Charity Law | Carney Wants STRONGER Integration with US?!!

    There’s a bizarre controversy as pro-Israel groups, including Liberal MP Anthony Housefather, the National Post, and even the Israeli consul general, have been attacking the Canada revenue agency for investigating certain Zionist & Jewish charitable organizations (including revoking the charitable status of at least 8 over the last 2 years) because of their violations of Canadian Charity and Tax Law (most notably due to their funding of the Israeli military as it commits war crimes in Gaza & Iran). Responding (as an autistic) to a Trevor Noah clip about how ADHDer’s enjoy arguing, In an interview, George Strombolopolous talks about Stephen Harper supporting the Iraq war, and references how Prime Minister Mark Carney recently told him he was right when he suggested in 2008 that Canada should try to make itself less connected and reliant on the US economically. The Canadian government may pursue a permanent ban on smoking for all Canadians born after 2008.

    14. Gillis Calls Out Zionists at Netflix Roast | Alleged OLP vote rigging

    Shane Gillis is going viral for a joke calling out comedian Chelsea Handler for being a Zionist at the Netflix roast of Kevin Hart, which she surprisingly denied (despite being a VERY well documented liberal Zionist). Likely Liberal leadership candidate Nate Erskine Smith is challenging the results of the Ontario byelection in Scarborough-Southwest (which he seemingly lost to a Domino Pizza owner), amid allegations of irregularities, bussed in voters casting ballots without ID’s, and a coordinated campaign against him by the provincial party leadership trying to crush his leadership bid before it even starts, preventing a more progressive Liberal from taking the helm of the party

    11. Alberta Separatists Dox Most of Alberta, Onion Launches Infowars Parody

    Episode was cut short because of time, but I was able to cover two stories: 1. The massive scandal unfolding in Alberta where a separatist group illegally leaked the entire Voter list, exposing the private information of all 3 million albertans (most of the province’s population) to potential scammers, abusers, and unhinged political actors 2.

    10. She-Hulk S2? McConaughey is a Christian Nationalist | The Boys S5 | Libs embrace far-right MP

    I react to Matthew McConaughey outing himself as an apparent Christian nationalist while talking about how the US should have the Ten Commandments in schools, Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum has confirmed that, despite the supposed hate, She-Hulk was one of their best performing shows . The Boys season 5 is great so far, but I’m not sure how I feel about THAT decision with Kimiko (SPOILERS for 5x01)
