Episode 62 of The Tideline, with Tara Thorne, is published.

In 1996 a movie dropped out of nowhere and revolutionized an exhausted genre — the slasher film — with a wit and self-awareness that’s become commonplace now, but at the time was fresh and surprising. That movie wasScream, and over the past 26 (!) years it’s spawned multiple sequels, a TV series, countless imitators, a marriageanddivorce (Courteney Cox and David Arquette), and made a star out of a young Canadian called Neve Campbell. Musician Trevor Murphy and filmmaker Kevin Hartford are twoScreamsuperfans and they join Tara on the eve ofScream 5‘s release (January 14) to get into all of this and much, much more.

Uncover: Dead Wrong

In 1995, Brenda Way was brutally murdered behind a Dartmouth apartment building. In 1999, Glen Assoun was found guilty of the murder. He served 17 years in prison, but steadfastly maintained his innocence. In 2019, Glen Assoun was fully exonerated.

Halifax Examiner founder and investigative journalist Tim Bousquet has followed the story of Glen Assoun's wrongful conviction for over five years. Now, Bousquet tells that story as host of Season 7 of the CBC podcast series Uncover: Dead Wrong.
