Hey gang, this interview has been sitting on the shelf for a few extra months due mostly to the tragic loss of our friend and co-host Nathan Brown. We recorded this only a few weeks before his death and if I'm being honest with you and myself, I just didn't have the nuggets to go into the editing cave to face listening to his voice for several hours. Ryan and I have have decided to release this as well as continue recording the show and find a new groove so, there's more to come. About the episode Darryl's been working on an ambitious horror anthology that I've watched a few scenes from and it's clear this is going to be great (please acknowledge how bold it is to publish a prediction on this medium). Anyhoo, as well as talking about Darryl's upcoming work, we discuss independent film-making in general. I feel like we could have spent hours continuing the conversation about this weird and interesting sub-culture we've become a part of. Enjoy!

Hey Gang, this is our super scary, very spooky 2012 Halloween episode. (Check out last years favorite horror films here) Nathan, Ryan and myself gab about our favorite movie villains, monsters etc this time around. We also talk briefly about the past Metro Digital shorts and Nathan and Chris Hill's experience at the NSI Totally Television program in Toronto. (NSI's blog post here) -Jesse

Hey Gang, this episode is about us, and despite all of us hating ourselves, it's actually good. The three of us have been up to our eyeballs in some Edmonton Filmy stuffs, well Nathan and Ryan moreso... I'm about up to my groin, that's where I like to keep things. Anyhow listen in. Scrub past the first 9 minutes if you don't love the sound of my voice as much as I do. Also, don't forget to come to Metro Digital Shorts this Thursday to see some of Ryan's stuff.

Hey ladies... and fellas, how's it hanging? Good? Awesome. Anyhow, we have Chris Hill back on the show to talk about his experience so far living in Toronto as a "differently employed" writer. Specifically his experience with the Second City writing program and being selected by The National Screen Institute for their NSI Totally Television training course. -Jesse Nash Weekly Picks #

Dan Harmon, creator of the hilarious and clever NBC comedy 'Community' has recently partnered up oscar winning screenwriter Charlie Kaufman and are setting out to make a stop motion film funded by their fans via kickstarter.com. Kickstarter.com was until recently used almost exclusively by up-and-comers and anything but mainstream artists, with the inclusion of these hollywood big boys will this tip the scales away from artists who are actually in need? Well, listen to Chris, Ryan, Nathan and myself bitch about it for your answer. -Jesse Weekly Picks #

Hey guys, we had Simon back on the show again. He's been getting a lot of traction with his web series 'Felt Up' and this time it brought him to the Banff World Media Festival. He talks about what sounds like a speed-dating-like pitch process that takes place there. I would write more, but unfortunately I have to race to the bathroom to get sick, you might as well just listen to the show.

Hey gang, we've been out for a while, and I'll appologize in advance for making this episode all about us but, I think we're now up to speed and we should be done patting ourselves on the back before the next recording. Be sure to check out 'The People Who Touch Ryan Byrne' at NextFest this weekend. It's an entire hour of Ryan's projects and such. I believe he's doing a Question & Answer period so, I encourage you to come and ask him deep personal questions. For example you could ask "Hey Ryan, who do you feel about living with a crippling alcohol addiction?", "How drunk are you right now?" or "Why don't you just kill yourself?". Well, think about it, it should be fun.

Hey gang, a fresh new episode... of which we recorded a few weeks back. None the less, here it is. We interviewed directory of photography Mike McLaughlin, who's currently known for his work with Canadian musicians such as Alexis on Fire and Bedouin Soundclash. He's also doing some work with David Suzuki on an episode of The Nature of Things... so yeah, he's kind of a big deal and we got him. Anyhoo, if you enjoy the show please drop us a review on itunes. -Jesse Mike McLaughlin - Cinematographer Weekly Picks Banff World Media Festival - Audio Transcrips (good production related jazz) Dan Simmons - Scifi Author The Vice Guide to Travel - Tv Series (mini travel docs)

Hey gang, we're finally back for the new year, lost a good portion of my vocal chops over the holiday so it took a bit to get back up. This time around we open our gobs to talk about the most pirated tv and film titles of the past year. We were all actually surprised with the results, take a listen. Jesse NOTE: So, I went to the extra trouble of taping down and securing the horrible nest of wires that's involved in the recording process, used different software and and different hardware to connect all this jazz.... well the recording still went all cyborg a little after an hour so you'll notice a sharp change in the audio quality towards the end of the show. I apologize, our gear stinks.

Hey guys, another pics episode. We list off our favourite watchable holiday films that don't necessarily make you want to hang yourselves or hurt a family member. Give it a listen.... what else?.... oh love you?! sure... Jesse Don't forget to check out Mostly Water's, A Ronnie Jimmie Christmas at the Roxy Theatre 8:00PM This weekend(December 16th & 17th).

Hey Gang, as the title implies this is a bit of a filler episode, the three of us happened to be together working on something with a large break and microphone present. Anyhoo, regardless of the ad-hoc episode, you will be entertained. We talk shows and such. Jesse

First off, Ryan attended something he called "tee-ate-heer" to watch Trent Wilkie's show 'Book on Tape, the Play' and he does a brief review of that puppy to start. Once the orderly part of the podcast wraps up, we just get geeky and talk movies for a little over an hour.
