Sure it snowed last week but that doesn’t mean that summer isn’t around the corner, does it? And one of the best parts of summer in Montreal is Osheaga weekend. That means it’s time for another Osheaga podcast!

To get ourselves (and you!) hyped up for one of our favorite weekends of the year Sarah and I do what we do every year: listen to the whole dang lineup and make an impossible to follow schedule for all 3 days by falling in love with a dozen artists each day! This episode we take a look once again at Friday’s lineup and choose some of our favorite non-headline acts:

Our picks:

This year’s Friday lineup has to be one of our favorites since limiting ourselves to “just” 10 bands was actually pretty difficult. Some artists who we love on Friday include: Two Feet, Rina Sawayama, bbno$ and Kora. Suffice it to say we’re probably getting to the festival pretty early on Friday.

Anyhow, June is right around the corner so that means that we’re about to dive into Saturday’s lineup. See you in two weeks!

9ES286:

by jorn on May 18, 2023 at 9:53 pm

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

Part of me loves the fact that other podcasts try their best to stay up to the minute with pop-culture references and current events and our podcast sometimes talks about movies like Meet the Spartans for 20 minutes.

And it’s not like this show is JUST a bad-movie podcast or something, so who even knows why any of this resonates with our audience.

But every month we get a good little number of people downloading the show so, we must be doing something right?

I’m not going to lie, a decade ago when we started up this website a tiny little part of me was like “yeah, we’ll be like Vice!” So it’s a little sad to me to see it’s demise in 2023. But hey, we’re still going strong – take that Vice!

Seriously though, the company was once evaluated at nearly $6 billion is likely going to be sold off for parts to the tune of $225 million. Bummer.

Finally, if I could recommend taking a look at this video to understand the pure lunacy people are getting up to in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I’m not sure but I don’t think Nintendo envisioned Link rolling around Hyrule in a tank when they designed this game, but the fact that they designed a game where you could make that exact thing happen is a true testament to their mastery of video game design.

Meanwhile over on Garbage Time we dive haphazardly into the filmography of Guy Ritchie and Keith talks about Scott Snyder’s “The Batman Who Laughs”. If that sounds like your cup of tea (since you live in a castle now) – then show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time!

Go Plug Yourself Vintage – Derek Seguin (October 22, 2015)

by keith on May 18, 2023 at 9:37 pm

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

In celebration of the NDG Comedy Fest that is going on right now we are turning the clocks back to when Derek Seguin had just SiriusXM Top Comic back in 2015.

Why? Well Derek Seguin will be closing out the festivities this weekend at The Wheel Club this Sunday, May 2st (get your tickets now). It’s crazy that we recorded this nearly 8 years ago. This city has been through quite a bit and I’m honestly super stoked for Walter to be putting this all together to celebrate English comedy in my old stomping ground of NDG.

This episode is quite a crazy time capsule. Derek spends some time in this episode talking about Mike Ward’s legal battles with Petit Jérémy – a legal case that took another 6 years or so to sort itself out (if it actually has).

As I mention in the lead-in to this episode, we’ve had a huge chunk of the performers of the NDG Comedy Fest on our little podcast over here. Off the top of my head we’ve had Derek Seguin, Joey Elias, Abby Stonehouse, Troy Stark, Mike Carrozza, Vance Michel, Serag Meletian, Daniel Carin, Elspeth Wright and probably a few more … not to mention our co-hosts Chris Venditto of Walter J. Lyng or the wonderfully talented and filthy provider of our theme song Leighland Beckman.

Anyhow, sit back and enjoy this trip down memory lane and then immediately buy yourself some tickets for the NDG COMEDY FEST.

Osheaga Podcast 2023 (Unofficial): Friday (Part 1)

by keith on May 11, 2023 at 6:26 pm

Posted In: Homepage, Osheaga Podcast, Other podcasts, Podcast, Podcasting

Our Unofficial Osheaga Podcast is back for 2023! We’re kicking things off with our first look at Friday’s lineup!

Every two weeks Sarah and I will be digging into the entire lineup of this year’s Osheaga to give you music recommendations all summer long. We’ll be picking ten acts from each day, talking about them and playing clips of their songs to give you a feel for their music and why we think they’ll be an amazing show.

But wait – you don’t need us to tell you why you should probably check out Kendrick Lamar now do you? So (for the purposes of this show) we ruled out the entire top line of each day of the lineup. So yes, that means you will need to decide for yourself if you’re going to see the likes of Billie Eilish or not. Trust us, if you listen to all of these episodes you might find yourself running back and forth between stages all weekend and discovering your new favorite artist.

NDG Comedy Fest – Go Plug Yourself 277 with Walter J. Lyng & Troy Stark

by keith on May 10, 2023 at 9:22 pm

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks Walter J. Lyng and Troy Stark (of The NDG Comedy Fest) not one, but two questions:

What is your favorite Montreal thing that isn’t around anymore?
What is your dream vehicle that is also a Transformer?

Those questions asked by Yannick and Alex (Les Voyeurs de Vues) back in episode 276.

My former (and sometimes still) co-host Walter J. Lyng can never be faulted for his work ethic. It seems like every time he closes a project off he’s got something bigger and better in the pipeline. Why not add “organize a comedy festival” to that list?

The inaugural NDG Comedy Fest is happening next weekend from May 19th to the 21st in beloved Montreal borough NDG. Walter is bringing out some of the biggest names in the Montreal comedy scene for your enjoyment. Derek Seguin, Leighland Beckman, Joey Elias, Bowser & Blue and a host of other amazing comedians round out the festivities. Walter tells me that the best way to enjoy the NDG Comedy Fest The best way to enjoy the festival is to get the all-access pass (to buy an all-access pass just click on any event and select the all-access pass option at ticketing).

Troy Stark also jumps on this episode (is he one of the NDG Comedy All Stars perhaps?) and we have a grand old time at the back of Grumpy’s.

Listen to the show, go to the NDG Comedy Fest.

It’s that easy.

9ES285: Individuality Emerging

by jorn on May 4, 2023 at 10:39 pm

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

Picard Season 3 apparently doesn’t suck – I don’t know why but out of all the nostalgia that is being thrown at me these days “Picard” just doesn’t seem to cut it. Maybe I like the fact that Star Trek just kind of lives in my childhood and I don’t need to revisit it all the time?

Maybe I just feel badly burned by Star Wars.

We talk a little bit in this episode about how droids get their designations in Star Wars but now it’s got me thinking that at least they decide to give their automatons any kind of a unique name. In Star Trek they just call every computer “Computer.” But I guess that’s on the Star Trek computers themselves for never developing much of a personality.

Anyhow – I’m about to blow your mind. There’s a good chance that ‘R2-D2” is actually a short version of Artoo’s full designation. Basically “D2” are probably the first two letters of a much longer designation. This isn’t even strictly a fan theory. In the Clone Wars series there’s a droid named “AZ-3” and it’s revealed that name is actually a shortened version of its full designation AZ-345211896246498721347.

Neat.

Finally – you should really check out the TikTok videos we talk about regarding Toronto real-estate. You can seriously buy a castle for the price of a shit-hole in Toronto. A castle with a broadband internet connection and a movie theater.

Meanwhile over on Garbage Time we talk about the rogue-like card game “Inscryption” and then wax philosophical about what makes a comedian funny. If that sounds like your cup of tea (since you live in a castle now) – then show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time!

Les Voyeurs de Vues (Yannick Belzil & Alex Rose) – GPYS 276

by keith on April 26, 2023 at 4:11 pm

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Montreal podcast Go Plug Yourself asks Yannick Belzil and Alex Rose (of the “Les Voyeurs de Vues” podcast) not one, but two burning questions: Where do you go from here? AND Who is the most fuckable on Lost? Asked by Andy Belanger “The Animal” (creator of Mother Trucker).

Yannick and Alex are co-hosts of a podcast called “Voyeurs de Vues“. As I understand it they are in a never-ending chain of films linked by actors who appeared in one film to the next. Listen. They explain it better than I can on the episode that you are about to listen to.

Yannick Belzile is a graphic artist who’s work you might recognize from Tribute Games’ TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, a self-described “cartooniste robuste” he co-hosted the 3 Bieres Podcast for an astonishing 10 years before the show wrapped up last September. More proof that this podcast will be the last podcast on Earth.

Alex Rose used to talk about movies for Cult MTL until he couldn’t but now he can again – but as a freelancer.

Anyways, Chris Venditto jumps on as my co-host on this one and we talk about movies, Ninja Turtles and so much more.

9ES284: Give Us More Krang

by jorn on April 20, 2023 at 4:55 pm

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

I cannot stress this enough: watch John Wick 4. It is unparalleled as an action film.

So, peeling back the curtain a little bit, let me tell you that I (Keith) normally write these blurbs and then Jono posts them.

However, this week Jon sent me a blurb about the LCS Spring playoffs and I thought I would share:

“Who caught LCS finals this weekend?
GG smashed FlyQuest in a hilariously unsurprising upset. I feel so bad for those guys, how do you feel good when you lose to momentum and nothing else?
Sure GG was a bunch of semi-washed out vets on the miracle run you knew had to face the music but they did take a match off of C9 in the grand finals and that’s better than anyone expected from them.
They gave Fudge the MVP for the series. Ok, he beat Kennen as Renekton and had the 4 man Malphite ult, sure. Consider: EMENES the only mid with the balls to field assassin types (Leb and Akali in the finals!), but also C9 won the 3 games EMENES won lane and lost the game he lost whereas (until the Olaf game) Fudge mostly went even but then had a flashy play or three.
it actually feels like C9 has the talent to perform at MSI this year (not like GG or FlyQuest who will embarrass NA again) but I’ve been disappointed by NA teams at MSI so many times before I’m completely numb to any hype.”razy amount of drama this season and tons of great matches; it’s a shame League is so niche the quality of the product is at a peak as viewership declines.”

If that sounds cool to you – then boy the last 15-20 minutes of this podcast will get your motor running.

We also talk about D&D Honor Among Thieves and Scott watched that new Ant-Man movie about ants.

Also, totally unrelated to this podcast, here is something I can’t stop thinking about:

So this is fascinating – basically a shitty mobile game has run a series of over 300 ads that seem to build the lore and reference an *entirely different game* that doesn’t exist.

These weird creepy ads for Evertale have popped up all over my feed and I had already heard that they in fact had nothing to do with the actual game but I had no idea how far the rabbit hole went.

Meanwhile over on Garbage Time we talk about hockey and baseball because we are real sports boys. If you love sports (sports!) then show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time!

Go Plug Yourself – Ice Storm 2023

by keith on April 13, 2023 at 5:29 pm

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Ice Storm 2023 means that your favorite Montreal arts and entertainment podcast that doesn’t have a guest this week! Nobody had power last week and we’re all kind of recovering!

So yeah – instead of a regular episode featuring a guest this episode features the wonderful Chris Venditto and myself just hanging out and shooting the shit like those kids on That 70’s Show.

I keep hearing people call it “Ice Storm 2023” and this is the first time where I found myself thinking “are we far enough along into the century that we can stop saying ’20’ in front of the year?” Could we just say “Ice Storm ’23” now?

Maybe it is time.

Chris and I also dig into Wrestlemania 39 (which we also talked about in 9ES if you’re keeping score) but we spend a little more time talking about the merger with UFC and where the booking might go from here.

Finally, this past weekend saw the inaugural edition of Gigglefest which found itself more Downtown than in the Sud-Ouest due to the aforementioned Ice Storm 2023. And would you believe another local comedy fest is around the corner? The NDG Comedy Fest is coming up fast and they need your help! The beautiful Oscar Peterson Concert Hall is booked for none other than Bowser and Blue with Joey Elias and our sweet boy Walter needs some help securing some funding. If you’ve got the cash to spare check out his GoFundMe and let’s make this happen.

9ES283: We Killed Auril

by jorn on April 8, 2023 at 1:22 pm

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

I apologize in advance for how conceited this next bit will sound.

If there was a late-night college radio show that existed in the 90s when I was in high-school (and before podcasts existed) where the hosts just shot the shit and talked about comic books, video games and obscure shit from the 80s it would be my favorite thing.

Now I get to make my favorite thing. But you get the pleasure of listening to it.

You’re so lucky.

[I think our listeners are used to this by now. -Jon]

It’s crazy to me that “Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light” has crept up into my mindspace multiple times in the span of only a few weeks. The show only has 13 episodes and was aired entirely between September 20 and December 13. 1987. What a world we live in that this strange little cartoon from over 35 years ago can so easily be consumed any time we want it. I guess the only question that remains is this: When will we set aside 5 hours to marathon the whole thing?

Listen up, Jon has been working at his real 9to5 a lot lately and he’s barely had any time off in weeks so guess what? There’s still plenty of time to let us know what movies you want to see get re-ranked on The List so please let us know your picks using this handy little survey. Since we’re too cheap to buy the premium survey features we are making due with what we’ve got so that means you have to pick at least 1 movie from each question, and at most 5 from each. So you need to pick 2 to 10 movies we should consider re-ranking. Use the comment boxes to explain yourself.

If this survey is too clunky for you, just find Scott and message him your picks.

Or DM us on Twitter, Instagram or FB:

Meanwhile over on Garbage Time we talk about the Marvel Snap card Shanna that Scott currently has pinned and then things get real upsetting as we talk about actual alleged Hollywood monsters named Ezra Miller and Jonathan Majors.

If all that sounds like the best (or actually, kind of the worst),then show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time!
