9to5 Entertainment System (9ES)

We recorded this week’s episode of the 9to5 Entertainment System as the results of the 2026 Quebec election were rolling in. Maybe it’s fitting then that we talk a lot about a bunch of horror movies in the second half,[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

A friend of mine saw Teenage Sex and Death At Camp Miasma by himself and apparently when he left the movie theater he found himself immediately wishing he had watched it with someone else so he could talk about it.[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

When I think about things from my formative years that people will definitely think of as old time and quaint within a few years, “video store” is always near the top of my list. Video rental stores perhaps even more[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES 371: We Should Buy A Video Store appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

I think historically I’ve probably been to the Vans Warped Tour more than Scott has but here we are in the year 2026 and I was sitting home and our boy Scott was out there at the Vans Warped Tour[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

So I’ve been with Sarah over 18 years. In that time we have watched probably hundreds of horror movies. We’ve both got a stomach for even some of the more “hardcore” films the like of High Tension and Martyrs. Heck[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

If you haven’t seen the clip of Tommaso Ciampa pulling a Bobby Orr jersey out of a trash can in the middle of a hardcore match at AEW Redemption then you can probably go ahead and do that now.

If you haven’t seen the clip of Conor McGregor doing a flying jumpkick and then immediately blow his knee out at UFC 329 then you can probably go ahead and do that now. Or don’t. It’s like 15 seconds long.[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES 367: Frankenstein Is Real appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

If you haven’t seen the photos of the massive crowd that Angine de Poitrine drew at the Jazz Fest last weekend you should do yourself a favour and check them out.

So Sarah broke her leg pretty badly a few weeks ago so we kick this episode off with our first hand experiences with the Quebec healthcare system. You know, the Quebec healthcare system that Scott works for? I guess we’re[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES365: YEAR ONE appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

There’s more than a few photos kicking around of Brendan Gallagher, Andrei Markov and Tomas Plekanec all together on the Habs. They were all on the team from 2012 when Gallagher got called up to Markov’s departure at the end[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

It’s a pretty big shame that we didn’t fantasy book how Ronda Rousey would fare in the Mortal Kombat tournament. There was such an obvious throughline between the MMA talk, Brock Lesnar and Mortal Kombat II and it was right[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

If you have not been following hilarious drama surrounding The Onion’s attempt to purchase InfoWars then you’re missing out. Look, it’s even being reported on the BBC.

Even though this episode is only coming out on April 23rd (if Jono edits it on time) I can assure you that it was recorded on April 20th. You know… the stoner day. 420 bay-bay.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is fine. There, now you don’t need to listen to the podcast.

We only really talk about Sam Kieth’s passing towards the end of the episode but I think we should have probably talked about his work more off the top.   I can’t really understate how hard The Maxx hit when[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

If you haven’t heard of Nirvanna The Band The Show then you’re doing yourself a disservice. I’m actually pretty shocked that both Jon and Scott aren’t more familiar with it.

We talked about this a lot last episode: Scott and Keith really like the Winter Olympics. Jono? He didn’t even wake up to watch the Men’s Hockey Gold Medal game against the USA. I guess not only is he not[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES357: Goonsy appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

Scott and Keith really like the Winter Olympics. Jono? I guess he’s probably meh on them and sports in general.   Maybe that’s why Jon has maybe like 5 minutes of talk time in an episode that is almost entirely[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

So about halfway through the recording of this podcast you will hear Scott exclaim “Fuck that guy!” and it will be revealed that he is talking about Matt Damon.   To peel back the curtain a little about our recording[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

We know that we occasionally get a little into politics news on 9ES but we also recognize that can be a huge bummer. So instead we talk about Predator: Badlands.

As we do most years we are taking advantage of the final episode of the year to take a look back at the year that was. 2025 was, as years go, “a bit of a year” for most of us.[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES 353: An Audio Portrait of 2025 appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

We missed out on ranking Wake Up Dead Man on this one but I guess that’s fine because it gives Keith another few weeks to watch it and then all three of us can chime in on Rian Johnson’s latest[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES352: Mole Man Really appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

So the Trump administration has reversed their decision on not releasing the Epstein Files despite the possibility of a photo of… checks notes… “Trump blowing Bubba.” I can’t really be excited by any of this since I’m pretty sure if[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Tron is a weird franchise and Tron: Ares just continues the weirdness. From what I’ve read, none of the three movies were considered hits for Disney.
