Here's What's Coming to CBC Gem in October 2024
Including 'The Babadook,' 'Austin,' new episodes of 'CBC Music Live at Massey Hall,' 'Eternal You' and more
Starting today (October 2), you can enjoy four new episodes of CBC Music Live at Massey Hall, featuring performances by Leif Vollebekk, JJ Wilde and Broken Social Scene, plus highlights from this year's Polaris Music Prize gala.
If you're looking to get existential, hit up German documentary Eternal You, also arriving on October 2. Directed by Hans Block and Moritz Riesewieck, the film explores the world of startups that specialize in "digital doppelgangers," letting deceased loved ones live on as digital replicas.
If you're looking for slightly lighter fare (just kidding), there's always Jennifer Kent's modern horror classic The Babadook, arriving October 4 just in time to get you in the Halloween spirit.
Arriving October 23, the Brent Hodge-directed Harder Better Faster Stronger sees misinformation expert Timothy Caulfield investigate the world of toxic male wellness culture, while October 30 sees the arrival of No Way to Die, a documentary from Marc de Guerre tackling Canada's MAID law and the people who choose to die.
Find all that and more on CBC Gem in the month ahead. If that wasn't enough, you can also check out the new arrivals on Prime Video, the National Film Board of Canada, Netflix, Disney+ and more.
