I still can’t believe that Malcolm McDowell just randomly chose to co-star in a CBC sitcom. Like, he’s a real actor, he was in Clockwork Orange, he killed Captain Kirk, what is he doing on Canadian television?

Every week, I list all the upcoming (or recently released) movies, TV shows, albums, podcasts, etc. that I believe are worth checking out.
Movies
–Killers of the Flower Moon (Theaters)
TV
–Big Mouth Season 7 (October 20 on Netflix)
–Son of a Critch Season 2 American Premiere (October 26 on The CW) – And Season 1 just wrapped up its CW run a few years…
Interesting that one of the stars of The Spencer Sisters also worked on Schitt's Creek, which was 'discovered' by Brad Schwartz. And this on the heels of them acquiring another show, Son of a Critch, which is produced by one of the producers of Schitt's Creek.
It really is all about who you know in the business.
My Coronation Tale (or "Why is David wearing tails?")
Though I ended up spending most of my life in the UK, I don't have strong feelings about the monarchy one way or the other, so I hadn't given any real thought to whether I should do anything coronation-related until this morning, when the commemorative artillery barrage began to rattle my windows (those cannons are surprisingly loud!) But the more I thought about it at that moment, the more it seemed to me that fate was drawing me in to the day's events... And it all started with my tails.
Being a singer, I have worn a tux dozens of times, but though I have had a set of tails for decades I have probably worn them no more than two or three times. What occasions call for them, after all? Well, as it turns out, a coronation celebration is one of the few legitimate opportunities. Then as I pondered this I remembered how it is I came to have tails at all. I had inherited them from my grandfather. And why did he have them? Because he needed them to go to the Queen's Garden Party at Buckingham Palace - something I remember him being inordinately proud of.
Moreover, as it happens, I had just moved to my new home, a 19th C merchant's mansion less than 500m from the Lieutenant Governor's residence. So I donned the tails and strolled next door.
I wasn't able to take advantage of the L-G's kind invitation to drop in and watch the ceremony, but I did step in and sign the guest book on behalf of my grandfather, who I like to think would have been pleased. And a security guard was kind enough to provide me with the commemorative stuff!
If this has whetted an appetite for quirky stories from Newfoundland about their interactions with the royal family, I heartily recommend this episode from the comic memoirs of one of our local legends, Mark Critch, recalling the visit of Charles and Diana to the city in 1983.
