A Cinematic Ode to the Quebec Nordiques

In some recent ESPN sports documentaries I’ve seen like Unrivaled and Saving Sakic I’ve felt that the fact that both were produced in collaboration with the NHL they glossed over the Quebec Nordiques moving. It was mentioned but it’s one of those things that they wanted to move past as fast as possible. Therefore, in honor of Canada Day I share a short film and a web video segment about Canada’s once (and future?) eighth NHL team. The film is about the establishment of the team in WHA and the web video discusses some of their history joining the NHL and then moving.

The second video can be viewed here.

Music Video Monday: Sabrina Carpenter – Please Please Please

When I reintroduced Monochromatic Monday I didn’t really lay out a plan about how or when I’d bring back the themes mentioned in my Manifesto.

The good news is that I am bringing this theme back again after its revival in April. When your music video includes a title card and features a performance by a star actor like Barry Keoghan, then you’re definitely skewing toward the more cinematic side of things. There is also an introductory scene before the song begins adding to its cinematic bonafides.

You can watch it here.
