REVIEW: EIFF Closer Holy Frit! Explores Art of Christianity
The art of stained glass goes back to ancient Egypt when artisans wound molten glass around a clay core. Traditionally bits of different coloured glass are assembled into a whole and the result in the churches of the world is art. In this century leaded glass windows in churches have gone through a fall from […]
PANDEMIC STREETER: Goodnight, Whyte
The warm summer air dissipates into the cool breeze of fall – and last call dawns early on Whyte Avenue. Here we are, a year and a half and two vaccinations later and restaurants and bars are closing up at 11 pm because of a spike in Covid cases. But that doesn’t stop live music […]
LIVE REVIEW: First Time at a Burlesque Show? Spotlight Cabaret’s got your back
Prologue The show is sold-out. The ceiling is lined with massive crystal chandeliers, but the lighting somehow remains moody. At the front of the room is a stage — only one small step up from the ground but further elevated by the plush red curtains that flank it and the star-speckled curtain behind. The curtain […]
HOCKEY: In the Box with Brent & Craig
We’ll Always Have Ottawa Three straight wins (well actually, eight!) against the lowly Sens was good for exactly what ailed the Oil this week, then a loss on HNIC (shocking) against the godless Canucks to piss everyone off. Can Craig and Brent see a silver lining moving forward with ZERO more games against the Sens? […]
HOCKEY: In the Box with Brent & Craig
TorontOH-NO Ruh-Roh! The Oilers have fallen back to earth and lost three straight against the Toronto Leaves (boy that stings) where they scored one single solitary goal. Small bounce back against the Flames last night so are we panicking? Sure as shit we are. Are we used to this feeling? You bet your sweet bippy. […]

Jets go up & down Welp, that sucked. After the beautiful high of winning with less than a second left on Sunday, the Oilers let 4 unanswered goals in during a 3rd period collapse on Tuesday. Who’s to blame for this pile of shit? Is the season over? What the hell do we do now, […]
HOCKEY: In the Box with Brent & Craig
Leafs & Laffs First road trip of the season brings the Oil from one pandemic hotspot to another as they go back to back in the big smoke against the Leaves. Apparently Matthews decided to be a big baby and not play the second game, further cementing those dumb Toronthomer chants of Matthews being better […]
HOCKEY: In the Box with Brent & Craig
Overreacting Canuckleheads The first two games of the new Oilers season are in the books and here at In The Box it’s time to break them down the best way we know how – with anger, elation and a trip to the overreaction bubble where all things are either great or fucking terrible. Let’s go! […]

Started in 1996 by now Edify Publisher and local novelist Steven Sandor and local record store magnate John Turner as a weekly column. Since then, it’s evolved over the […]
