It’s Jon.
It’s me.
It’s CNDOP!
OK, it’s a day after CNDOP, but what the hell.
We got a LOT of snow recently.
It took us almost three hours to shovel it.
Jon’s been watching lots of sports.
Happy CNDOP everyone!!
Episode 189 - Zooming
The other day Jon said he wanted to do a ‘remote podcast’. Of course what he meant was that he wanted to do a podcast over Zoom like I so often do with my other ones.
So, today after class, Jon headed home and we did some recording!
Today we talked about stress and health in class.
Jon has been enjoying everything at the U so far.
The weather is getting cooler.
I’m not using one of my nice mics, so I don’t sound great…
Episode 188 - Back For Now
So my brother Dan and I were to do a podcast today, something came up, but I hadn’t removed it from our calendar.
Jon came up to me and said ‘we should be doing. apodcast’ and I figured he meant the Jonathan Files. Turns out he meant ‘We Have the Technology’.
You know what? We haven’t done one of these in ages, so let’s!
Jon is collecting movies.
Jon enjoyed his term at the university.
Jon is looking forward to the fall as well.
Episode 187 - Jon CNDOPs
It’s Canadian National Day of Podcasting!
Hey, wait, let’s do a Jonathan Files!
let’s use more exclamation points!
Jon talked about the university, some of his wacky tv show ideas, what he’s been watching on tv, what he’s been listening to, you know, the usual.
MONTREAL WON THE GREY CUP.
Let’s say that again.
MONTREAL WON THE GREY CUP!
Episode 186 - Jon's Review of the Super Mario Bros. Movie
At this rate we’ll do at least two of these a year!
So we were in Sudbury over the weekend and we went to see the Super Mario Bros. Movie.
It was pretty good. I liked it, I’d give it 3 mushrooms out of five, Jon would of course give it perfect.
Oh right, this is full of spoilers.
We both l liked the music in the movie.
Isabelle showed a short film too!
Episode 185 - Jon's Back!
Hey look! It’s a new Jonathan Files!
Well, maybe it’s a one off for the Canadian National Day of Podcasting, but he seemed pretty positive during the recording.
Oh yeah, Dec 1 is Canadian National Day of Podcasting, so it makes sense that we do a Jonathan Files.
Jon talked about Transplant, and Children Ruin Everything, they are his favourite shows currently, though he likes Wynnona Earp Still as well.
I’m sorry of burying the lede here, Jon is in college now!
Jon chose a song for this one that is one of the songs that has become very popular in Ukraine and is played a lot by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Jon and I stand for Democracy, we stand with Ukraine.
Episode 184 - Wynonna Earp Season 4 Review
Jon has opinions on season 4 of Wynonna Earp.
They are good opinions.
He liked everything about it (when he likes something he really likes it).
He’s also liked Star Trek: Below Decks. I’m not so sure about it, but I’m warming up to it.
He wants to see season 2 of The Boys. He didn’t watch season 1……
School is starting back up soon too!
Episode 183 - Jon Reviews Wynonna Earp S04E02
It’s episode 183, which, I called 169 for some reason.
Jon’s back talking about his favourite show.
It had a love scene that Jon really liked.
He rates the episode 5 out of 5.
Did I mention he liked the love scene?
It seems to be aimed right at the male 15-24 demo to me.
Jon liked the love scene, did I mention that?
It’s great to be back ding these with Jon.
Episode 182 - Jon Reviews the Season Premiere of Wynonna Earp
So, reason 4 of Wynonna Earp was on last night, and Jon was all over it.
He really loved the episode, which should surprise nobody.
I didn’t ask him for a star rating, but, he did say it got 91 on IMDB.
We also talked a bit about hockey, it’s coming back!
Oh right, this is a Jonathan Files review, so, suffice it to say, it’s full of spiders.
Enjoy
Episode 181 - Canada Day 2020
He, Jon hasn’t done one of the since December of 2019.
Well we were out for a drive, and decided to record.
Jon’s been doing a lot of stuff during the pandemic, keeping up with friends over google meetings, playing games, watching his favourite shows, and, working on what he calls his projects.
These projects are basically Jon reimagining what various buildings in the city should look like. It’s kind of neat. He has the style of school architecture down pretty well.
Happy Canada Day to everyone.
Episode 180 - The Canadian National Day of Joncasting.
Hey it’s #CNDOP!
So, because of that, Jon and I recorded on November 30, which some purists will probably see as cheating or something.
Jon hasn’t done one of these in a while, not since his review of the finale of Killjoys. Well he’s back.
We get an update on what he’s been up to.
We also get some interesting Canadian TV ideas.
Happy Canadian National Day of Podcasting from Jon and me!
Episode 179 - Jon Reviews the Killjoys Finale
Jon never used to watch TV shows. Of course he watched movies, but never TV.
As regular listeners to the podcast know, Jon is a big Wynona Earp fan. He also got into Killjoys. Well it had its finale last week and Jonno loved it.
We’ve missed a whole season (summer) without an episode, so we’ll try to put these out more often.
We talked a bit about our summer too, camping in Michigan, trips to London, spilling Sprite on a MacBook air, stuff like that….
Enjoy
Episode 178 - Jon Reviews How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
Taking a break from the restaurant reviews, Jon’s back at the movie reviews.
Yesterday Jon saw ‘How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World’. When he came home he told me he gave it 10 out of 10, so as usual, he liked it.
Jon’s Oscar pool is done, and Michelle Sullivan won! Congratulations Michelle.
The March break is this coming week, so, I’ll check with Jon to see whats sort of stuff he has planned. Right now I can hear him listening to the Greyhounds’ game on the radio.
Episode 177 - Jon Reviews North 82
Out to dinner again!
So Jon of course has his review of North 82. He liked it a lot, giving it 10 chicken fingers out of 10.
Jon’s been pretty busy with various stuff including a dentist visit, and working on his movie and TV show ideas, so he hasn’t yet determined who won his Oscar pool, but that’s coming.
Oh Jon has heard rumours that Wynonna Earp is being canceled. Let’s hope that isn’t true.
Episode 175 - Jon Reviews Ralph Breaks the Internet
Happy New Year everyone!
Jon’s back of course with a movie review.
He just saw ‘Ralph Breaks the Internet’ with his friend Daniel.
I’m typing this before he goes, but I’m going to go out on a limb here and say he liked it.
We talked a bit about other stuff too, like what we’ve done over the holidays, that kind of thing.
Oh he also talked, of course, about the trailers he saw, can’t forget that.
We hope you all like the episode.
Episode 174 - Jon Reviews Season 3 of Wynonna Earp
Jon is quite a fan of Wynonna Earp which airs on Space.
Last night the two part season finale was aired.
So we decided to do a Jonathan Files review of the show.
It should also be noted, as it has before on Broken Area, that Jon got an autographed Wynonna Earp graphic novel (or comic book, whatever) from Greg David.
I think this is Jon’s first TV series review.
Episode 173 - Jon Reviews Little Italy
Jon went to see another movie.
It is a movie I didn't even know existed. He may be beginning to scrape the bottom of the barrel. Then again, maybe it's good.
Anyway, the movie is 'Little Italy' which I've not heard of, a romcom sorta deal.
Let's find out what the boy thinks.
Oh it turns out to be a Canadian movie, who knew?
Episode 172 - Jon Reviews Alpha
Boy, Jon has been busy.
Thats two reviews this week.
This instalment is his review of Alpha. I had not heard of this movie, and after having read the synopsis on wikipedia, I kinda want to see it.
I am interested in Jonno's thoughts though.
Jon really liked this one. He says it would be a good family movie, though, there is some violence.
Enjoy.
Episode 171 - Jon Reviews Crazy Rich Asians
We're back from our camping trip, and now Jon is back to the movies.
Today it's 'Crazy Rich Asians'. It is getting great reviews, so I imagine Jon will like it.
(You can probably tell from the tense in that sentence that I'm writing this before he goes)
Ooh he really liked it, says this one should get Oscar consideration.
We also talked a bit about our recent coming trip..
Episode 170 - Jon Reviews Hotel Transylvania 3
It's a busy week for Jon, a busy week of movie going and podcasting.
Today he saw Hotel Transylvania 3.
It seems to have quite a cast, including Adam Sandler, and other SNL alums.
Jon really liked it, and gave it 10 out of 10, as is his custom. His friend Daniel gave it 7.
Jon burps in this episode, right in your ears, plus, he rubs his razor tumble on the mic. Ahh the joys of living with Jon.
Jon says the movie would be good as family entertainment, and that it is not boring like, say, the Emoji Movie....
