GPYS Fantasia: Let Me Make You a Martyr Part 1 (John Swab & Corey Asraf)

by on July 23, 2016 at 3:09 pm
Posted In: Fantasia, Homepage, Montreal, Movies, Podcasting

The Fantasia International Film Festival marks the World Premiere of the first feature film from the creative duo of John Swab and Corey Asraf. A slightly dreamlike recounting of the day Drew Glass (Niko Nicotera) returns to his hometown to seek vengeance on his drug dealing father. Along the way reconnecting with the deteriorating figures of his past, some redeemable and others damned to condemnation. Oh, and a hitman named Pope (Marilyn Manson) wants to kill him.

I was lucky enough to sit down the with John and Corey to talk about this movie, where it came from creatively and the road to making their first feature. Enjoy the show!

Also be sure to check out Part 2 of our “Let Me Make You A Martyr” podcast, where I talk with Niko Nicotera, Sam Quartin and Gore Ambrams HERE.

Posted In: Fantasia, Homepage, Montreal, Movies, Podcasting

Jon and I saw two very, very different films and we finally get around to talking about them on the show! I watched “Hunt for the Wilderpeople” and Jon saw “The Lure” and these two movies could not be more different. Listen now! Oh, and I cannot apologize enough for how bad I butcher Taika Waititi’s name again and again.

Go Plug Your Fantasia Film: Jeff Maher and Colin Price (Bed of the Dead)

by on July 21, 2016 at 9:17 am
Posted In: Fantasia, Go Plug Yourself, Montreal, Movies, Podcasting

If ever there was a movie worthy of screening at midnight it would be a film about a murderous bed preying on the lives of the guilty crossed with a police procedural. Former Montrealer Jeff Maher brought his film “Bed of the Dead” to Fantasia this year and came on the show to talk about his film, which horror movies he loved growing up and how important a few drinks can be when it comes to dreaming up ideas for films. “Bed of the Dead” has another screening at this year’s Fantasia International Film Festival August 1st, tickets HERE.gpys-fanasia-1

9to5 Does Fantasia: The Love Witch

by on July 20, 2016 at 7:02 am
Posted In: Fantasia, Homepage, Montreal, Movies, Podcasting

We watched the wonderful homage to the technicolor genre films of the 60s and 70s, Anna Biller’s “The Love Witch” and then we talked about it. Since this movie was all about women, starring a woman and made by a woman, we brought in Sarah to bring a women’s insight in. Listen now to find out our thoughts on “The Love Witch”!FantasiaPod2

Never Tear Us Apart – Fantasia 2016 Rapid Review

by on July 19, 2016 at 3:57 pm
Posted In: Fantasia, Montreal

unnamedOne of my favorite parts of Fantasia are the shorts. Not to diminish too much from the excellent short film spotlights, but I particularly enjoy when a short film is screened before a feature length film. The Fantasia International Film Festival doesn’t show previews before films, but what does happen from time to time is a delightful short film.

It’s a practice I wish was more prevelant in all theaters, as lots of great short films end up getting made and never end up being seen on the big screen, usually relegated to Vimeo or YouTube, or maybe an extra feature on a DVD.

Enter Sid Zanforlin’s shrot “Never Tear Us Apart”, a homegrown horror short film from the home of Fantasia: Quebec.

Short-form horror can be a lot of fun, and it takes a pretty good handle on the genre to pack the right amount of humour, gore, suspense and twists into a tiny package.

“Never Tear Us Apart” has a run time of about 6 minutes (and that includes closing credits) and manages to touch on all the important parts of the genre. The asshole friend, a few good and gory kills, a chase and a macabre twist. The fact that it hits all these nice little notes in such a small run time and tells a concise, clean little horror tale is a good testament to the love of the genre that Zanforlin must have.

It’s worth a watch.

“Never Tear Us Apart” screens tonight right before the martial arts action adventure “Baaghi” tonight at 10:00 pm, get tickets HERE.

So We Got To Meet Jake the Snake – A Go Plug Yourself Special

I’ve always had a fondness for Jake the Snake Roberts.

A few weeks ago, he stopped by ComedyWorks to perform his spoken word show “Unspoken Word: Tales from the Road” and Walter and I were lucky enough to hang out with him for a bit (recording of that hangout below).Jake Roberts, Jake "The Snake" Roberts

He was never really one of my all-time favorites, because I think I was just a little too young to really appreciate what he brought to the squared circle (I was a big Ultimate Warrior fan, and now I look back at his matches and wonder what the hell was wrong with me when I was a little kid). But he was always, in my childhood mind anyways, one of THE guys. Jake posed a legitimate threat to whoever he stepped in the ring with. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

9to5 Entertainment System 113: The 9ES Plague

by on July 7, 2016 at 6:53 am
Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

About an hour before we sat down to record this bad boy, it was going to be an episode with all of us. Then, Jon informed us he was ill and shortly after, so did Sophie. Usually we try to rope one of our friends in to cover and do a “Friends” episode, but with an hour’s notice we just decided to say screw it and pull an old-fashioned two man episode with Scott and I. Enjoy the show! You might notice that we’re the King of Spades.9es 113

Go Plug Yourself 109: “Genesis” Johnny North and Dave Simon

by on June 16, 2016 at 8:15 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

We talk a little bit in this episode about the fact that we’ve got a mini-episode with none other than Jake the Snake Roberts ready to go, but Walter and I have decided hang on to that one for a little bit to not fully overload our regular listeners with our wrestling obsessions. However, this episode is basically just about wrestling.

Indie wrestler Genesis Johnny North and Dave Simon from Wrestling Uncensored (and Dave also hosts Ringside Report) on late night TSN 690 join Walter and I to talk a little about what got them into wrestling, the current state of WWE, and Sunday’s upcoming PPV “Money in the Bank.” Johnny shares some stories of backyard wrestling and getting what was probably the first package pile driver by Kevin Owens (Steen at the time) a long, long time ago.gpys109-genesisanddave
