La Fin du monde est à 7 heures
La Fin du monde est à 7 heures was a Quebec television comedy series, which aired on TQS from 1997 to 2000. As the title says, the show was traditionally broadcast daily at 7 PM, but was later moved to the 6 PM slot, at the same time as most other networks' news bulletins, with no name change. Hosted by Marc Labrèche, the program was a satirical take on news and current affairs, somewhat similar in style to the English Canadian series This Hour Has 22 Minutes. In addition to Labrèche, other personalities associated with the show include Jean-René Dufort, Patrick Masbourian, Isabelle Maréchal, Paul Houde and Bruno Blanchet. Jean-René Dufort now hosts a show on Radio-Canada called Infoman.

Dans le ventre du dragon
The title of this French-Canadian film translates to In the Belly of the Dragon, but don't assume that it's just another kung fu epic. Rather, the film is a likeable mixture of science fiction and humor, centered around the money-making schemes of star David La Haye. Unable to make ends meet with his minimum-wage job, La Haye hires himself out as a guinea pig to genially loopy scientist Marie Tifo. It is the doctor's contention that a person's intelligence can be artificially increased. La Haye proves her right...up to a point, that is. Extremely popular in Canada, Dans le Ventre du Dragon has yet to receive proper distribution in the States.
