It's Patreon episode #10: Pontypool (2008). Time to get a couple of guys who like weird radio stations to talk about a movie about a weird radio station.

Thanks everyone! We'll be back in October with another live stream!

10 - Pontypool (2008)

I know this is a very late comment, but there's a great story called "Babel-17" by Samuel R. Delany where a space language turns people into sleeper agent spies. There are other sci-fi books about language-as-virus, but this one is my favorite. It's a perfect but sneakier ancestor to this movie's concept and it's a really good read! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babel-17

Hi 👋 Even later to the comments! Just had to chime in because I live in Toronto and I actually used to work in Pontypool. And unfortunately I have to correct you guys on thinking the Lawrence of Arabia thing was not likely. Honestly the part that was not probable was that it was a musical. Too artsy fartsy. This is for sure something that could have happened and probably something that would still happen now. This is a very small town in a very right wing, Conservative part of the province. Anti government, anti immigrant, stop the shot, plandemic, trucker convoy, upside down Canadian flags on hockey sticks kinda place. :( Enjoyed the episode though :)
