Film Review: James Mullinger’s ‘Anything Is Possible’ Harps On Life In New Brunswick
James Mullinger is no stranger to Saint John, and thanks to his comedy special, Anything Is Possible, he’s been seen across Canada.

Christmas has a rich history of cultural ritual and personal custom, including all the trimmings of turkey, cartoons, family, and the inevitable awkwardness that ensues. It’s a time to be happy and humble, giving and grateful… and assimilate to the every whim of ma/pa, nanny/grampy and previously-estranged uncles/aunts and cousins who decided, for whatever reason, this was their year. The holidays are not always a joyous time for everyone because—let’s be honest—belonging is hard.
In 2012, an antidote to yuletide adversity was given unto man in the form of Lights and Frost, the 10th full length studio album by Gary Flanagan.
