9ES282: Let’s All Go To The Lobby

by on March 25, 2023 at 12:30 am
Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that breaks down every Montreal location in Scream 6 that they are pretending is New York City is back for episode 282!

 

As you may have seen on this very website, Scream 6 was filmed mainly in Montreal. It is so clearly (to a local) Montreal that it almost seems preposterous to imagine it is taking place anywhere else.

 

The characters of Scream 6 continually draw attention to the fact that they are living and breathing and stabbing and dying in New York City but it is a Montreal movie in my heart.

 

On another topic: Who would have thought that we would be applauding Robert Smith like a hero in 2023? Seriously the man is on a one man mission to call Ticketmaster out for their bullshit. He tweets about it every day.

 

We really need to set a date for when we do the list re-rank but until then let me assure you: 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 Keith and Jon talk about Dungeons & Dragons and get into some Mind Flayer lore and then 3 dudes in their 40s talk about the game Roblox with zero degree of authority.

 

There’s also a million dollar knife in CS:GO.

 

If all that sounds like the best (because it is), 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!

9ES281: Plastic Bag Plastic Bag

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting, Uncategorized

The Montreal podcast that provides hot takes on HBO’s Last of Us, Ron DeSantis and Terrifier 2 all in one place is back!

 

I think the hottest take is when Keith posits that Aliens might actually be a zombie movie. It’s not a great take but it is certainly hot and spicy.

 

I think we can summarize our take on Ron DeSantis as “wut.” From the outside looking in you can’t help but wonder how can the guy who is running Florida might end up running the country?

 

It’s Florida.

 

Where Florida Man is from.

Meanwhile over on Garbage Time, Keith is joined by Sarah from the Osheaga Podcasts! You know Sarah! We talk about reality TV and some shows we’re watching (like Last of Us again!).

9ES 280: Thoughts About Tom Sizemore

by on February 26, 2023 at 5:36 pm
Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that talks about Nope, Elvis and The Last of Us has a hard time sleeping because they are pretty sure mushrooms are now flying aliens from Graceland returns. Listen now!

Why is this show 3 days late? Here’s what happened: We all ended up at a cabin over the weekend and none of us had our computers. Sorry! (Note: If you subscribe to our Patreon you probably noticed that Garbage Time wasn’t late, what can I say, money talks).

So one of the things that Nope really gets right is that for the most part the characters respond reasonably to messed up situations. I know it’s a horror movie trope that characters in a horror film will make terrible decisions just to make sure they march headlong into whatever terror they should be trying to avoid but hot damn does it make me happy when characters act like normal human beings in a spooky flick.

While I’m thinking of it, Last of Us kind of benefits from that sort of thing too. Stuff is messed up but the characters are doing the best they can and general react like reasonable people.

Even non-horror shows and movies can fall victim to characters suddenly behaving like idiots just so that the plot advances – I’m looking at you late-seasons Game of Thrones.

Meanwhile, if you want to watch a movie that is ultimately about a person not making reasonable decisions (despite it being largely factual) – watch Elvis. 

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 (can you guess?) Marvel Snap, but we also talk about something equally alienating and exciting: League of Legends LCS! Sports for nerds!

9ES278: It’s All Billy

by on January 27, 2023 at 11:29 am
Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that would easily collect an entire deck of cards in Alice in Borderland Season 2 is back with another podcast for your ears.

I’ve always had a soft spot for some deathmatch based fiction. From Running Man to Battle Royale to Death Race 2000 (to name some of my favorites). There is something immediately gripping about watching contestants face off to the death. There’s something even more compelling when the game is not just about killing your opponent but about besting them in some other game of skill or wits but someone’s life is still on the line.

Dark? Sure, but boy will it glue me to the television set.

The collective zeitgeist also apparently agrees, considering the megahit that was Squid Game.

I may be in the minority here, but I prefer the two seasons of Alice in Borderland over Squid Game. Of course Squid Game has a lot more to say about class division and the wealth gap but Alice in Borderland has cool anime style characters being cool. Somehow the challenges of Alice in Borderland (and the fact that there is no clear end game/reward for clearing the games) pulled me in. It’s a lot less bleak in that sense. They’re just stuck in there playing these games.

Speaking of games, how about that Dungeons & Dragons, eh? Boy, Hasbro must be excited that a new trailer for the movie dropped to push down all those news articles about them mucking about with their Open Game License. Hell hath no fury like a bunch of angry nerds scorned.

Let’s quickly go through the list of times a mega-corporation has meddled with something beloved and made it better.

1) …

Moving on.

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.

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 spend most of the episode talking about Marvel Snap. Seriously, why isn’t Jon playing Marvel Snap yet? We also talk about tires and lightbulbs so you know it’s a good one.

9ES277: There Should Be No Parties

by on January 12, 2023 at 10:07 pm
Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that waited until the beginning of 2023 to talk about some 2022 movies is back to bring you hot takes on films that came out last year!

 

Keith spent part of the holidays crossing movies off his “I should watch this” list which meant that he finally got around to seeing:

 

  • Weird: The Al Yankovic Story

  • The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

  • The Menu

  • Glass Onion

 

And so that is more or less what this episode is about. We don’t rank any of these films though. We’ll probably rank Glass Onion next week.

 

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.

Or DM us on Twitter, Instagram or FB:

 

Meanwhile over on Garbage Time Jon once again delves into the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Seriously, why were these guys so damn interested in heading to the most inhospitable places on the planet over and over again to like pick up rocks or whatever?

9ES 276 – 2022 in Review

by on December 29, 2022 at 4:32 pm
Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

The best geek and pop culture podcast in Montreal takes a look back at the year that was 2022. It’s 2022 in Review!

We talk all about the movies, music, television shows, video games and comics that we’ve consumed this year like hungry, hungry nerd hippos.

Apparently having a very young human to take care of really slowed down Jono’s consumption of crap this year, but I guess he also read a lot of that blog about airplane crashes so who can blame him? Scott actually got to see some new movies this year so I guess after like a decade or whatever of being a dad he is finally starting to have some time to himself.

Unfortunately there is no new episode of Garbage Time this week, instead we just made the main episode of 9ES a full 90 minutes. So it’s like the normal episode AND Garbage Time all at once! If you still want to show your support just head on over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen all past episodes of Garbage Time!

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.

9ES275: A Business Model

by on December 15, 2022 at 8:41 pm
Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

Montreal’s kooky and spooky podcast makes like Wednesday Addams on Netflix and rehashes some of our greatest hits for your entertainment.

That means we talk about crypto stuff again as Jon brings us up to date with the whole SBF/FTX thing. Between the time we recorded this episode and now it’s been revealed that SBF faces something like 165 years in prison.

That’s what I call “a sticky situation.”

What’s crazier? That BitCoin is actually trending UP. To quote OKUDA (who provides our theme song):

“Crazy, I wonder what the logic is…some kinda hedge against these stablecoins that are about to become un-pegged? Or because Binance needs to sell a bunch of its assets to cover the USDC withdrawals that it paused? It’s madness no matter how you slice it.”

.

Madness indeed OKUDA. Madness indeed.

No 9ES This Week

by on December 1, 2022 at 7:24 am
Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

Montreal’s best podcast is… not happening this week.

Sorry friends.

Due to some scheduling issues we’ll be running 3 back-to-back episodes over on Go Plug Yourself instead.

However, if you subscribe to our Patreon, there is still an episode of Garbage Time! It’s almost a full episode of 9ES, but it’s just for the Patrons. We talk about the documentary “Kings of Coke” (a film about Montreal’s West End Gang that I just got to interview the director of, Julian Sher), a little about Marvel Snap and then we run through a list of the “27 Best Canadian Bands” from Music Grotto. There are some oversights on this list and we get into that too. If you want to 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. we’d really love a lot.

ALSO: 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.

Keith does all sorts of things here on 9to5.cc, he works with the other founders on 9to5 (illustrated), co-hosts our two podcasts: The 9to5 Entertainment System and Go Plug Yourself and sometimes blogs here as The Perspicacious Geek.

9ES274: We All Are

by on November 16, 2022 at 9:26 pm
Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

Montreal’s favorite financial advice podcast returns with all of the hot takes you’ve come to expect surrounding the fallout of the FTX Crash.

 

In the past few days we’ve had a couple of conversations about crypto.

 

Is crypto:

  • A game that someone was always going to break?

  • A lot like the comic book book of the 1990s?

  • A fancy modern pyramid scheme?

  • The future of currency?

 

Hard to say.

 

We don’t really get into it in this episode but the whole FTX crash thing is also rife with conspiracy. Maybe we’ll get into it next time. Or maybe we won’t.

 

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 Nathan Fielder’s “The Rehearsal”, Amazon Prime’s “Peripheral” and then we run through a few lists of the worst mutants ever in the Marvel Universe.

 

If all that sounds like the best (because it is), 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!
