Watched online Filth City is clearly anchored in the arena of Fubar and Trailer Park Boys humour – on the surface dumb as a plank but alive with real mischief under that surface.
'Filth City' filmmaker Andy King talks about Toronto's strange times, being called a "scumbag" by Doug Ford, and the everlasting legacy of the late mayor.
Comedian, Actor and co-Writer Danny Polishchuk joined BIG Mornings with Kris & guest co-host Pete Smith to talk about his film ‘Filth City’ which is loosely based on the Rob Ford crack-video scandal. It’s created headlines recently after Doug Ford on CP24 said the ‘makers of Filth City shouldn’t cross the street when he is driving down the road’ while the film screens on March 25th to a sold out crowd closing the Canadian Film Festival in Toronto.
