9to5 Entertainment System (9ES)

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. I haven’t really hear precise estimates of attendance but[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES366: Sold Out Jazz appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

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. Something that I did not actually know about InfoWars is that Alex Jones[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES362: False Prophets appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

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. Anyways, that’s the flimsy excuse[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES361: Slow Creep appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is fine. There, now you don’t need to listen to the podcast. No wait.   The Super Mario Galaxy Movie came out on Easter because it’s FULL of Easter Eggs, listen now to hear about[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

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. Tracking down the Viceland episodes seems to be a bit[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES358: Sacred Lawns appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

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. It’s not that we don’t care about what’s going on[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES354: The Jig Is Up appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

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...

Two out of three of us are dads here on 9ES. When is it ok to show Zach Cregger’s Weapons to your kid? 12? 13 years old? When is it ok to show Thanatomorphose to your kid? Probably never?

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.

Credit where credit is due: We did not cook up the “firewatch challenge” but rather Scott listened to them do it over on the Confused Breakfast podcast and thought it was a good idea.

I guess we’ll never know whether or not Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel just to make some noise and piss people off or something but boy is it a wild time for free speech.   You know you’re getting pretty crazy[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Jon and Keith played the heck out the original Hollow Knight when it came out and even if they haven’t been full blown participants of the Silksong hype they both were excited enough to get Silksong on launch day.

Note: This episode is a little (a lot) late because of some unexpected technical hiccups! Whoops!

The Montreal podcast that deep dives into very particular eras of X-Men comics has returned with your bi-weekly dose of nerdy ass shenanigans.

Well, The Fantastic Four: First Steps movie is out, and it’s the most comic-accurate yet. Reed Richards is scribbling on chalkboards, tackling cosmic problems like it’s Oppenheimer with spandex. Sue’s stubborn, Ben’s mopey, Johnny’s a hothead. Honestly it’s pretty much[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES342: Demons Everywhere appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

One has to wonder if there’s the possibility of a Wu-Tang Clan crossover with the Predator franchise.
