It doesn’t take long for Emma Hunter’s frisky DJ Nora to jump back into action on Moonshine (CBC; The CW). As Season Three begins, she’s having sex in a car with her police officer boyfriend (played by James Gilbert). Sorry, America. You won’t see that scene in the U.S. Hunter’s auto erotic antics, as well as the
I like my podcast guests to feel comfortable. That’s not always possible over a zoom call, but that didn’t stop Jennifer Finnigan, currently back for a second season on CBC’s comedy-drama Moonshine.

Brampton neighbours Doug and Roberta are part of the entourage and got an extra kick this year out of getting a visual shout out from the studio monitors welcoming “VIP” guests. Every
If you want to know where they tape The Beaverton, look for the church in Toronto’s East end that just burst into flames. That’s because there are few sacred cows on the sassy news satire. The Comedy Network original is spun off from the web site TheBeaverton.com, and, yes, it really does shoot in a rather nondescript
