This week Victor recommends the sitcom Kim's Convenience (2016-2021) about a Korean Canadian family and their convenience store of the same name.

He also recommends the horror film My Soul to Take (2010) a Wes Craven film about seven children, born when a serial killer disappears, who turn sixteen and start being killed off. He also recommends the band from the trailer and soundtrack Sick Puppies.
