The Montreal podcast that asks Jason Grimmer and Jess Fildes (of Terrors of Misery’s Grove): “Deep Space or Deep Sea?” – asked by the most electrifying man in Montreal entertainment: Mike Paterson.

We had Jason Grimmer on the show before talking about the injustices facing Montreal record shops back before that pesky pandemic – but this time we’ve got him talking about his other passion: improv. Pretty sure we talked about improv last time too, just roll with me here.

Jason Grimmer and Jess Fildes are taking on the unenviable task of mixing a veritable witches brew of improvisation, horror and podcasting in their latest endeavor: The Terrors of Misery’s Grove. Taking the form of an improvised folk-horror radio play that will be performed live in front of audience (the first episode is TONIGHT: October 27th at Variations Mile End) and then transforming it into a podcast to live on forever… on the internet!

We talk with Jason and Jess about developing the show, the challenges of improvising horror and of course a million other things (mostly horror related in spite of Inés’ attempts to the contrary) because this is the show that it is.

Inés Anaya steps in on co-hosting duties once again (how many more does she got left folks?) and we have a jolly good time recording this one at the back of our home away from home: Grumpy’s.

The Terrors of Misery’s Grove debuts October 27th at Variations Mile End, 5337 Saint Laurent Blvd. Find the podcast wherever you find podcasts.

Jordan Robson-Cramer (Phonopolis) & Jason Grimmer – GPYS 201

The Montreal podcast that asks Jordan Robson-Cramer (Phonopolis) & Jason Grimmer (Commotion Theater): “How would you define success?” (Asked by Sergio da Silva back in episode 199).

To kick things off in the “post-Walter era” (which I think is kind of our Attitude Era, which makes this our Ruthless Aggression Era) we have not one, but two guests for you: Jordan Robson-Cramer and Jason Grimmer!

Jordan is the co-owner of one of Montreal’s historic record stores Phonopolis and Jason Grimmer is on the forefront of our city’s cutting edge improv scene.

You may have heard that Phonopolis (among other record stores) is currently finding themselves in a very absurd situation where they are staring down a $2,900 fine for staying open late last year during Record Store Day. While Mayor Valérie Plante has said the city will be extending weekend hours for record stores, Phonopolis and the other businesses involved are still trying to get the fines dropped altogether.

Towards the end of this episode, Jordan asks our listeners to continue to shop at local record stores and to consider putting your out of town friends up in your home instead of AirBnBs.

Meanwhile, Jason Grimmer (who works part time at a record store as well, in his case Cheap Thrills) has recently started hosting monthly improv shows over at Mainline Theater under the banner of “Commotion Theater” and his ongoing series “Night Drive” continues next Saturday, Feb 29 at Le P’tit Impro.

Stepping in for the co-hosting duties on this episode is Lawrence Corber, who is a very busy man who you should probably follow on Facebook.
