News and Politics with a Local Voice
This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s holiday time and you know what that means. 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. Before you are four titles for your consideration, some of them are recent, some of them are very recent, and at least one title is from the tumultuous Sixties. Shall we stream?

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s the most wonderful time of the year… Time for our year end specials!! 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. This year’s slate features a probing documentary, two true-life stories, and a silly drama that thinks it’s a serious social commentary. 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.

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.

The holiday season begins this week, and you know what that means: the annual Open Sources Guelph Political Movies Special. Each year, we choose four politically-themed movies to highlight as potential viewing during the holiday break when regular politics mostly takes a few weeks off. This year, we’ve got quite a diverse crop: a zany comedy about Middle East peace starring Adam Sandler, a new documentary about the economy featuring the former U.S. Secretary of Labour, a racially-charged and themed horror film, and the latest film about the struggles of the U.K. working class from Ken Loach (guess who chose that one).

Merry Christmas! To celebrate the holiday season, and to enjoy a well-earned break, this edition of Open Sources Guelph will be a special one. Or rather it will be a special. This week, the show is all about our favourite political movies. From the struggles of standing between competing parties in the Danish parliament to comedic efforts to beat the odds and be elected President of the United States, from the struggles of a Communist fighting the Spanish Civil War to the reconsideration of an American pariah, these are our selections for favourite political movies.
