Our 2023 Spooktober Celebration may be winding down and both your hosts may be tired beyond belief, but we still cobbled together an NFB Showcase...sort of? In reality, we just wanted to talk about labour unions in the animation industry and slapped together a quickie double feature of short films that have literally nothing to do with each other. But when the shorts are this good, who is going to object? Congratulations to the employees of Wildbrain Studios for your successful formation of a union. May other Canadian animation houses follow your lead.

Shorts covered: The Erlking (2002), directed by Ben Zelkowicz (https://www.nfb.ca/film/erlking/)

Lake Erie (2022), directed by John Vasallo (https://vimeo.com/873028681).
