Episode 377 – The Key(con) Flooding of Disney Potholes
An early morning edition of the show. The brothers are recording very early to talk all about Keycon! Keycon runs every May Long weekend (also known as Victoria long weekend). Just what is Keycon and what can YOU expect when you come see us as we record from the convention. We review Twitter results, our appearance on the Manitoba Moneyshot, buying and selling your house just before a major flood, Portage and Main, what to fill these potholes with (funny answers only), the Spice Girls (really?, oh yeah!), EDM performers, Machinegun Kelly and Travis Barker, and Disney Adult (?).

Episode 376 – From Infinite to Infinity – A Tribute to George Perez
This past week has seen some major losses in our geek community. Shout out to Shane-o-Mac and Corey Toews on their losses. We also lost George Perez, titanic artist for both Marvel and DC Comics. George was part of some of the biggest storylines and best selling books for BOTH companies and we have seen the film world borrow heavily from George’s work. George is beyond iconic and is in a category all his own. We take a walk through some of his biggest works, from Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Infinity Gauntlet, legendary takes on the Teen Titans, Wonder Woman and of course the Avengers and JLA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_P%C3%A9rez (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_P%C3%A9rez) Website: http://www.seanmcginity.ca/ (www.seanmcginity.ca) @seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook @toddgeek on Twitter @fastfretfingers on Instagram @ToddGeeks Tech Talk on Facebook @mbpodfest @captivatefm Mentioned in this episode: Want Merch?

Episode 375 – Putting Fire to Podcasts in the Grishaverse
Fying solo this week with SeanGeek. What is Blogger and why we have one? We talk all about websites, landing sites, and that perfect Podcast Hosting company we all miss called Podiant. There would be no SeanGeek and FastFret Podcast without Meet The Geeks and why we all still owe a complete debt to Corey Toews and his creation and how it lives on in all of us. Snake oil salespeople have never gone away. They used to be barking out from the side of a travelling wagon, skipping from town to town, shilling and making people believe mis-truths. They are hidden in terrestrial radio, record labels, get rich podcasting schemes, fad diets, and even the great Adam Levine works for them. What would Happy Harry Hardon have to say. Maybe it’s time he is broken out from his incarceration to shout from the mountains and expose them all. Or at least maybe SeanGeek here can throw a little shade on them. What am I reading and what is on the docket? I just finished 5 books from Leigh Bardugo in her Grishaverse series. What did I think about it and what do I think about Leigh’s worldbuilding? I have also picked up Heart’s On Fire by Michael Barclay and I cannot wait to dive in.

Episode 370 – The Goodwill of that Shelf Monkey Moon Knight
Karen is back. We talk Abby’s learning about Kitty Pryde, right into talk about Fox’s X-Men, the Spider-Woman cartoon and right into Moon Knight! Knowing very little about the character, we extrapolate just what is Moon Knight, why he wears white, and what ties (we know of) to the supernatural and magic within the MCU. What can we expect to leap off from this film? We dip deep into the horror comics marvel produced like Dracula, Werewolf by Night, and Man-Thing. Can we expect some of these characters to show up in the MCU? And what about the Nexus of All Realities? We also talk some She-Hulk and Ms Marvel. And cover the Netlfix Marvel shows. (54:08) We run through a list of the forgotten Marvel TV shows. Which ones have you seen? (1:09:32) Recommendations: The Goodwill’s Mountain of Trivia Night might be the best trivia night in the world. Hear all about Karen’s experiences there. https://thegoodwill.ca/ (https://thegoodwill.ca/) Shelf Monkey by Corey Redekop: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/1640630.Shelf_Monkey (https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/1640630.Shelf_Monkey) #moonknight #mcu #marvelstudios #marvelcomics #kittypryde #horror Website: http://www.seanmcginity.ca/ (www.seanmcginity.ca) @seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook @toddgeek on Twitter @fastfretfingers on Instagram @ToddGeeks Tech Talk on Facebook @mbpodfest @captivatefm Mentioned in this episode: Want Merch?

Episode 369 – Fake Managing Your Ham n Egger on the Xbox
FastFret and SeanGeek chat about Halo, Cooperative games, Tom Clancy’s Spinter Cell, Tom Clancy’s Division, Far Cry, and State of Decay 2. We also discuss SeanGeek’s injury which digs deep into carpet underlay, spring thaws, Winnipeg’s epic snowfall of 2022, Ikea tables and stucco. (18:20) We take snow shoveling techniques, warmdowns and segue into (21:12) the Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum podcast. (22:37) What is a real Podcaster? And which ones are just jumping onto bandwagons? We talk Joe Rogan, Anthony Robbins, and the podcaster’s that sell circular references. (33:31) Some managers lack that one skill that matters the most: communication. We talk about some “tips and tricks” some managers use that actually hurt their standing with their employees. How much do we hate acronyms? You will find out. (43:43) And out of the annals of Bobby the Brain Heenan we talk about what is a “ham n egger”? We do a lot of callouts each episode and this one is no exception: Sam Thompson, James Beaver, and Stefan Richards. And of course, Rage Rage and the Manitoba Moneyshot Podcast. #snow #xbox #winter #shoveling #injuries #podcaster #managers #acronyms #bobbythebrainheenan Website: http://www.seanmcginity.ca/ (www.seanmcginity.ca) @seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook @toddgeek on Twitter @fastfretfingers on Instagram @ToddGeeks Tech Talk on Facebook @mbpodfest @captivatefm Mentioned in this episode: Want Merch?

Episode 368 – The Fett of Vegan Festivals
(3:52) What are we recommending this week: Cocoa Beans and the James Avenue Pump House. Winnipeg is known for its diverse cuisine and Cocoa Beans and the James Avenue Pumphouse in Winnipeg are two great examples how great and inclusive dinning can be. Winnipeg is home to some of the best festivals in the world. The city’s version of Fringe and our own Keycon are some of our favourites and well worth checking out. (21:20) With a trailer for Obi Wan Kenobi dropping, we dive deep into some Star Wars chat, including an overview of The Book of Boba Fett, Clone Wars, the overlap between the two, and how the sequels suffered many things. What would we have done different, how Star Wars can thrive moving forward and some general advice from our geeky brains. Where does Star Wars go from here. #winnipeg #winnipegfringefestival #keycon #starwars #obiwan#bookofbobafett Check out Cocoa Beans for some great vegan food! https://cocoabeansgf.com/ (https://cocoabeansgf.com/) St James Pump House https://www.jamesavenuepumphouse.com/ (https://www.jamesavenuepumphouse.com/) Winnipeg Fringe Festival: https://www.winnipegfringe.com/ (https://www.winnipegfringe.com/) Winnipeg Keycon: https://www.keycon.org/2022/ (https://www.keycon.org/2022/) Website: http://www.seanmcginity.ca/ (www.seanmcginity.ca) @seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook @toddgeek on Twitter @fastfretfingers on Instagram @ToddGeeks Tech Talk on Facebook @mbpodfest @captivatefm Mentioned in this episode: Want Merch?

Episode 367 – The Musical Theory Behind Poutine Rapees
(2:32) SeanGeek’s kids have started making their own comic books! What are there comics about? We talk about Sean’s own stash of his own home-made comics he made as a kid and how he diverged his love of comics into a love of story-writing. We dip back into the comic book company he was part of as a kid with some friends. (10:20) How are the kids doing with their piano lessons and how has that impacted our own learnings as musicians ourselves. We slip into our beginnings into music, learning theory and tablature. (12:54) We talk about learning music through flexible records that were inserted into music magazines like Guitar Player (and also included in Mad Magazine issues). We talk drum and guitar theory and reading music, time signatures, Dragon Studios, the “sloppy” playing style of Jimmy Page and Eddie Van Halen and how important the drummer is to that kind of player. (25:20) We pull from the list to talk wineskins, their origins and if they are still being used, the god Bacchus, the band Bacchus, haggis and some bad accents, pubadelic bands. (31:25) What is a poutine and is it related to a Maritime poutine (rapees)? What is blood sausage? What is Warm and Fuzzy and why does it involve the police? (We share a story about our old band Salty Bear.) (43:59) Recommendations: Bulk Barn finds and The Realistic Rock Drum Method by Carmine Appice. You know where to find Bulk Barn.

Episode 366 – Strange Switch to Savage Worlds
(0:24) Karen is back and we start Geek out on the Nintendo Switch and all the goodiness that brings to the table. Just how does the Switch work and can it cross-platform? We also talk Playstation 5 and Xbox Series S and X. (11:43) It has been a few months now since SeanGeek set up a game set in his world and using the Savage Worlds Tabletop RPG system. Karen is one of the players. We talk tabletop, different systems, current campaign, scheduling as adults, remote playing using cameras and dive into the Rolemaster system. (19:15) SeanGeek is deep into the Grishaverse and talks the trilogy, the duology and that TV show on Netflix. We also discuss other books and adaptations such as His Dark Materials, The Golden Compass (better than Harry Potter?), and The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. (23:28) SeanGeek has shown ET the Extra-Terrestrial to his kids. How did this movie invent a whole subgenre of movie. (26:12) A new spot on the show is Recommendations. This week we talk about all that is good on the podcast Verbal Diorama. (29:58) We deep dive into the Dr Strange 2 trailer. We provide our reactions and speculations: Marvel Studios storytelling and evolution; public expectations; Patrick Stewart (???): a new Wolverine. (40:18) Just what is the Illuminati and might it make an appearance in the film? Will the film be too dense for the common viewer? Captain Carter? Iron Man? Ultron? (48:40) Yet another iteration of The Batman is happening with Robert Pattinson playing the titular hero this time out. We discuss Twilight and the luggage that might bring to this movie, unreal expectations because of it, Kristen Stewart. We talk of new Vampire mythology that comes every generation and how Twilight’s timing worked after the last vampire ramp up after Anne Rice’s Interview With The Vampire. Was Hunger Games the next type that came after Battle Royal?

Episode 362 – Part Two with Darrell Dwarf Millar
We left you on a cliffhanger last week, but we are back! And we have Corey Toews from Geekspin for Part Two of our conversation with Darrell Dwarf Millar of the Killer Dwarfs and Automan. The Killer Dwarfs were one of the first bands at the advent of music video with their Heavy Mental Breakdown. They did not stop there. With their tongue planted firmly in cheek, the boys were able to take a step forward in using the medium for a “trilogy” of videos, with a unique storyline running through them that saw the Canadian Hard Rock band expand their audience, garnering play in the US and over the world.  We discuss the videos and their creation and their record label’s reaction to them (0:20). Dirty Weapons was another step ahead for the band and that included producer Andy Johns. Darrell shares a never before told story about Johns’ experimentation in the studio with drum sounds (4:28).   We talked about Winnipeg, independent bands and labels and dove into a discussion about Winnipeg’s own Chris Jericho. (13:20) The boys explain the importance of a band like the Killer Dwarfs to Canada, independent music artists and the message the band gives to the rest of us (18:47). The Killer Dwarfs have periods of taking breaks but in the last decade they have been touring for their longest stretch in a while (19:34). The road life can be yard on the body which leads the conversation over to fitness and yoga (21:08), (and SeanGeek pushes DDP Yoga again).   The Dwarfs are a brotherhood (25:40) with a do it yourself attitude (29:20), which works well into the current landscape of the music business with less of a reliance on record labels (30:08). Today, Tik Tok is a thing (31:10). Pam and Tommy is trending (32:38), so maybe we now is the time for that Killer Dwarfs documentary of their own (34:18). They have footage dating all the way back to their beginnings, including some of Darrell’s days in Sphinx (36:58). They boys cover Darrell’s time in Winnipeg when he was giving drum lessons (39:10). We talk of the Winnipeg Music Scene (41:14), the great Moon Tan (43:02), Greta Van Fleet (45:16), Pirate Metal and Alestorm and the bands making their own genre rock music (47:04). And what about that Wolfgang Van Halen (48:16). Darrell tries to get us onto Genesis (51:33), we talk another great drummer in Stewart Copeland (56:00), and Winnipeg legends Propagandhi (57:00). Darrell leaves with some trivia about the spyder (1:03:21). We want to thank Darrell for sharing his time with us, an independent podcast. It is the acts like this that renew our faith in rock and roll and the true rock stars of this world.

Episode 361 – Part One with Darrell Dwarf Millar
The Killer Dwarfs were one of the founders of hard rock in Canada, at the forefront of video with MuchMusic and MTV. As innovative as they were with their videos, their connection to the fans is second to none. In this special episode, we bring in Corey Toews from the Geekspin Podcast. After some introductions we dig into the Monster Of Rock Cruise and the hoops everyone had to jump through (5:06). Darrell recollects on when they played with Skid Row and Pantera at the verge of a musical landscape change (20:18), the Dwarfs taking a break around that time, going to California and his band Laidlaw (27:08). (35:22) The Killer Dwarfs’ Discography is an impressive one. We talked about the catalogue, and some of the inside baseball on it. We had a lot more to cover, but we are ending this episode here. Be back next week for the second half of our conversation.

We talk to the founder/owner of Ancient Raven Records, Jønas Scott Petrowski and learn about the label and its origins. Then we dive into just the heck is the Mouth-Boat. Just what do these people sound like? We take a listen to Jønas’ own musical project Van Allen and the Mouth-Boat during the episode. Why don’t you take a spin to Gimli and check out both bands: https://ancientravenrecords.com/ (https://ancientravenrecords.com/) You can see all things Witchpolice Radio here: https://witchpolice.com/ (https://witchpolice.com/) #ancientravenrecords #vanallenmusic #themouthboat #indiemusic #winnipeg #gimli #manitoba #music #podcast Website: http://www.seanmcginity.ca/ (www.seanmcginity.ca) @seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook @toddgeek on Twitter @fastfretfingers on Instagram @ToddGeeks Tech Talk on Facebook @mbpodfest @captivatefm
