9to5 Entertainment System (9ES) Podcast artwork

9ES (aka The 9to5 Entertainment System) has been providing a bi-weekly dose of pop culture and current events since 2011. Montreal geeks Keith, Scott and Jon get together every two weeks to talk about movies, comics, video games and the occasional smattering of conspiracy theories. From Hollywood blockbusters to indie gems, the 9to5 crew seem to digest way too much media for their own good. 9ES is also home of "The List" an ever growing list of movies across all eras and genres meticulously ranked by the crew. Is it a perfect ranking? Yes. We think so.

9ES322: It Stinks!

Oct 31 2024 72 mins

I think when it comes to movies taking insane swings I am firmly “for”. Sure Francis Ford Coppola might regret spending $120 million of his own money on Megalopolis, a film that I’m told is “an overstuffed opus that’s equal parts stimulating and slapdash”, but isn’t that better than just being Avengers 11 or whatever? It’s why a part of me (Keith) has a s

9ES321: Look At The Folly Of Man

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was… fine? Good even. I think it ends up feeling like a bit of a letdown because of the 36 year gap between the release of the original. If you waited 36 years to make a sequel and get most of the cast back together it kind of feels like you’re making it because some kind of inspiration struck. It doesn’t quite feel like a cash grab. There’s a

9ES320: Body On The Ice

We’re probably a little late to the whole “Dave Grohl scandal” if somehow a rockstar getting a lady pregnant constitutes a scandal anymore. Grohl is kind of the bridge between the classic and modern rockstar and a lot of times leans a lot more into the “classic” variety in terms of his public persona. I guess maybe it stings a little that he has been presenting him

9ES 319: Stan Lee Lied

Sep 19 2024 71 mins

The Montreal podcast that would never lie to you like Stan Lee has returned to the airwaves of the internet to talk mostly about the Editor in Chiefs of Marvel Comics. Look, there’s no good way to say this – Jono is off taking care of his sick family so it’s left to Scott and I to hold down the fort that is the 9to5 Entertainment System. What does that mean for yo

If the hosts of 9ES were stranded on the International Space Station because they were Boeing Starliner astronauts hearing strange pinging noises outside of the airlock there would literally be only one person we would want to be stranded with. You can also better believe that we would keep doing the podcast from space. “The 9to5 Entertainment System: IN SPACE” has a nic

9ES317: Three Towers

When you watch the film “Twisters” you will notice that basically a town gets leveled by one of the titular Twisters just about every single day. I think the movie takes place in the span of about a week but who knows? Anyways, I found it kind of jarring that a town gets wiped off the map by a tornado and what seems to be a town away is still having their little rodeo or little

9ES316: Laughing At Professionals

I guess it’s an election year so politics is going to creep into our podcast more and more until November. This time we talk about the Right Wing getting really mad that France did “The Last Supper” in drag and how “Republicans are Weird” is now a trend. Let’s see if we can look at a quote and determine if it was spoken by a sitting Senator or a 5th Grader: “Th

9ES315: Dysfunctional Insanity

Jul 25 2024 68 mins

Honestly all of the news surrounding the 2024 election cycle is equal parts exhausting and terrifying. The pop-culture movie nerd in me kind of feels like in the trilogy of Trump running for president, the 2024 election is where the series is really going off the rails. It’s kind of like the Fast and the Furious, where so much crazy shit has gone down in the first two outi

9ES314: Also Never Reviewed On RT

What can we say about Avengers of Justice: Farce Wars that hasn’t already been said? Apparently a whole lot. Avengers of Justice literally does not have any ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. I am pretty sure that means it doesn’t actually exist. It’s possible that we’ve all had a collective fever dream and somehow it manifested Avengers of Justice. I can’t

I’m really happy that Godzilla Minus One won an Academy Award. We take the piss out of the Oscars almost every year. There’s something wrong with a system that takes a look at hundreds of movies a year and then goes “these are the best 10” and eventually “this is the best one.” So much of it is subjective and it’s well documented that the Academy has a “type” of m
