#22—Danger Bay

7/19/2022

 
Naomi and Aaron speedboat through the CBC family adventure show Danger Bay (1984-1990). We discuss the show's infinite animal menagerie, its 1980s environmentalism, and the protagonist, Dr. Grant Roberts, who is both a Professional-Class Hero and Dad of the Year. We also rehearse our favourite lines of dialogue from Danger Bay, including Doc Roberts shouting, "We need a lactating otter!"

#21—The Kids in the Hall

7/5/2022

 
Inspired by the recently released sixth season of The Kids in the Hall, Naomi and Aaron talk about this legendary sketch comedy show (1988-1995). We discuss the Kids' paths to becoming comic actors, and how the show was too dark for us to appreciate when we were kids ourselves. We breakdown some of their most notorious sketches, including Cabbage Head and the Chicken Lady, and pay special attention to their unfairly maligned feature film, Brain Candy (1996), which is actually very good! Finally, we consider the dangers of nostalgia and decide that we'll do it anyway.


    Sweater Weather is a podcast and live events series about Canadian arts & culture, co-hosted by Aaron Giovannone & Naomi K. Lewis.

    Find the show on all major video, audio & social media platforms.

    Join the audience for our next live recording of Sweater Weather at the Memorial Park Library in Calgary on Treaty 7 territory.  Tickets are free.
