9ES246: Dusk Till Dawn Vampires Are Best Vampires

by jorn on October 21, 2021 at 8:00 am

The Montreal geek and pop culture podcast that still doesn’t quite understand Dr. Who is back and this time we talk about Squid Game. Among other things.

There is something extremely compelling about Battle-Royale style fight to the death media, isn’t there? Hunger Games was a massive mainstream media success and now Squid Game is the biggest show ever on Netflix. If that doesn’t say something about where we are at mentally I don’t know what to tell you.

We also really get into another Netflix show and that show is Midnight Mass. I kind of feel like Midnight Mass would have been a lot bigger hit for Netflix if it was quickly (and probably unexpectedly) overtaken by Squid Game but here we are. A slow burn psychological, then supernatural horror is hard to pull off and barring a few incredibly long monologues about the nature of God and death Midnight Mass mostly succeeds.

We round out the episode with a few other spooky/thriller things for you to enjoy since I guess this is our Halloween episode.

If you want even more good 9ES goodness I would suggest you check out our companion show Garbage Time over on Patreon, on this week’s episode we talk a little about Trailer Park Boys and then Keith grills Jon with surprisingly difficult Dungeon’s and Dragons trivia and Jon (un)surprisingly does very well.To listen to Garbage Time check out our Patreon Page and subscribe to the 9ES Deluxe level tier. You will love it.

Keith and Jon two man this very special episode of 9ES. Those crazy islanders!

9ES 245: Jonathan Hemingway

by keith on October 7, 2021 at 9:54 am

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

Your favorite three people in Montreal return to the podcasting airwaves to remind you that indeed, Covid-19 is still a thing and if your name is Josh and you live in Alberta you should really be aware of that by now.

The world breathed a sigh of relief on Monday that they didn’t even know they were holding in when Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram all suddenly stopped for about 10-12 hours. I don’t even know how Jon heard about this happening since he’s stayed away from those things for years.

Jon’s re-watching Seinfeld which may or may not be the Genesis of modern comedy and we figure out how you end up at Bojack Horseman if you go through Arrested Development.

Do you remember that great episode of The John Laroquette show where he thought he wrote a really great book? We talk about that episode a bit and quite frankly we don’t even care if you don’t remember it. That’s what this show is.

Finally, Keith has been watching Midnight Mass and while the jury is still out boy was Episode 5 a lot of fun.

Also, you probably know this but we’ve got a little Patreon going on over there and for every episode of 9ES we publish a companion episode of 9ES Garbage Time. On this week’s Garbage Time we talk about wrestling and D&D as though that wasn’t predictable.

Enjoy the show!

9ES244: Relevant

by jorn on September 23, 2021 at 9:09 am

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that is your number one stop for Machine Gun Kelly news and current events is back with a brand new episode devoted entirely to the world of MGK.

For at least a few minutes anyways.

At the top of the episode Mr. Machine Gun’s fame and relevancy levels are called into question. His most recent album “Tickets to My Downfall” came out only a year ago and hit #1 on the USA and Canadian charts and was certified Platinum with over 126,000 in record sales and he has a new album due out any day now.

He also played Tommy Lee in that movie “Dirt” that I don’t think any of us watched.

Enough about him though, we also talk about the Montreal Canadiens because somehow the NHL season is about to start again even though it only seems to have ended a few weeks ago.

Keith finally watched Catwoman, a movie that should have been called “A Cat-Woman” as it had nothing to do with the comics, and speaking of comics we talk about The DC villain The Creeper and Marvel’s “What If…” show on Disney +.

Since we are experts in lists, we take our critical list making eye to Rolling Stones Top 500 Best Songs of All Time on this week’s episode of Garbage Time, which is available as part of the 9ES Deluxe level over on our Patreon.

9ES243: A Gallon Of PCP

by jorn on September 9, 2021 at 9:15 am

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that has so much to say about so little is back once again with all kinds of fun talk about some talented celebrities who have passed away recently like Trevor Moore and Michael K. Williams!

That’s a bummer, don’t worry, things pick up when we transition over to a casual discussion about opioids and the lack of justice for those who have perpetrated one of the great crimes of our lifetimes!

Things brighten up when we talk about Todd Phillips’ 2019 movie “Joker”.

*checks notes*

There’s got to be something uplifting in this episode. Let’s see here.

I guess the work of Alexandra Elbakyan releasing scientific knowledge free of charge to the scientific community at large is a feel good story, right? Although that does spiral into the current state of privatized and monetized research which is what lands us in that opioid talk in the first place.

Oh, here it is, Keith watched a Slap Fight pay-per-view! That’s fun and… he felt mildly concerned for the health and well-being of the competitors as they slapped the shit out of each other in the conference room of a low-rate hotel…

If all of this sounds fun and interesting I strongly recommend checking us out on Patreon where we get into why The McElroy brothers are less fun than they used to be and how much Weezer sucks now.

Enjoy the show(s)?

9ES242: It’s On The Internet It Must Be True

by jorn on August 26, 2021 at 8:00 am

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that knows your anger, and knows your dreams is back. It’s the podcast that has been everything you want to be.

That’s right, CM Punk is back in professional wrestling and that’s pretty cool for about two-thirds of us. We also talk about Scarlett Johansson going toe-to-toe with the House of Mouse and question Netflix’s business model. We also get into obesity. Like we get into it. We are all obese now. We live what we talk about.

Not really, but what we do dig into is some of the science (or lack of science) that seems to be tied to human weight gain in the last few years as we look a little at the research going on at Slime Mold Time Mold which I will admit is a weird name for a website.

Finally we wrap things up with a little bit of talk about The Masters of the Universe.

if you enjoy the show and want to support us do us and yourself a solid and subscribe to the “9ES Deluxe” tier over on our Patreon page. It will be the best decision you make in the next 15 minutes I promise you.

Once again this year’s Fantasia Festival is mostly online, with only a few films being screened live due to the ongoing pandemic that, spoilers, isn’t over yet!

The real horror was Covid-19.

I digress.

Sweet sweet audio reviews of some of the best of genre cinema. Normally we recommend you listen to these reviews while waiting in the long ass lineups waiting to get into the movies but since this year is mostly online maybe you just listen to them while you work or something?

I don’t know man.

9ES241: Not The Same As Before

by jorn on August 12, 2021 at 8:00 am

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal geek podcast that opens up the show with hot takes about the music of 1994 is back in your ear holes with all three of us on the show! Spoilers: 1994 may have been one of the greatest years in music history I will fight you on this. While it didn’t come out in 1994, The Color and The Shape by Foo Fighters is definitely one of the greatest albums of the last few decades and we get a little into the somewhat secret past of the song and how it relates to Veruca Salt.

We also talk about the fact that Apple is designing tech to look at all of your photos, the Fear Street trilogy streaming now on Netflix, The Army of the Dead (also on Netflix) and wrap things up with a little bit of AEW wrestling talk.

If you enjoyed the AEW talk, we talk about the 5 Labors of Jericho and Jon’s immense accomplishment in Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup on this week’s Garbage Time, available Friday over on our Patreon page at the 9ES Deluxe level subscription.

Enjoy the show!
