Jet Li in Hero
Back in the early 2000s martial arts movie star Jet Li had the opportunity to be part of The Matrix film trilogy.
He passed on the role, though, to instead play the hero in a film called Hero.
Sarah explained this decision in a post for Asian World Of Martial Arts.

High Life
The sci-fi story of High Life revolves around a convict-filled space ship where its passengers undergo unusual experiments.
When Sarah watched it at TIFF this year she noted that it’s the sort of film that’ll leave you feeling unmoored.

A viral video of a fitness instructor doing a martial arts routine while 40 weeks pregnant prompted Sarah to look deeper into the practice in a post for Asian World Of Martial Arts.

It may be a shock to people, but each year at Polaris the 40 album Long List reveal is usually our most popular time.
People give a shit about making the Long List and, though it could be argued the jury sometimes misses albums, it’s always a great snapshot of the best Canadian music in a given year.
For episode 17 of the Polaris Podcast we got jurors Michael Rancic, Erin Lowers and Christine McAvoy to analyze what trends they saw in this year’s list, what albums they voted for, and what album they think will win the whole thing this year.
This and other Polaris Podcast episodes can be found on iTunes, Google Play or Spotify.
