News and Politics with a Local Voice
This week on Open Sources Guelph we ask, “What day is this?” And we answer, “Why it’s Christmas Day, sir.” And since it’s Christmas Day, or there abouts, the time has come for our annual entry the political movies special. As usual at this time of year, we’ve lined up four new politically-themed movies to discuss including two comedies, a French movie in black and white and an Academy Award-winning documentary!

For the last seven years, we’ve dedicated the last episode before Christmas to some of our favourite political movies, and year eight will be no different.

As our Christmas gift to you, we’re sharing our annual political movie picks in the seventh annual round of this not-festive, but definitely fun holiday tradition.

Hang up your stockings, and then sit back with some hot coco as we talk about the movies. And politics. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #357) Show Notes for December 23, 2021”
It’s the end of the year, and it’s Christmas Eve, so you’ll forgive us if we don’t tuck in behind our remote microphones for this week’s edition of Open Sources Guelph. Like usual, we will fill one of our two holiday slots with the sixth annual edition of our political movies show. Sit back and relax, as we look at our political past through the lens of liberal Hollywood, and, in at least one instance, stark raving socialists!

It’s the last show of the year, and you know what that means (at least you should if you’re a fan of the show). This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s that time again for the annual movies show, as we look back at some of our favourite politically themed movies. This year, we’ve got a doc about the new class of politicians, a student council election, a slice of American political history, and a new film about social inequality.

We’ve got quite the quartet this year if you’re looking for something to binge this break.
