The Unknown Studio

Welcome to the eleventh episode of our second season. This episode, we speak to Matt Marshall the creator of the film series MiddleMen, which is shot right here in Edmonton. It’s a mobster/assassin show up to its third installment. We also spoke with actress Emily Bachinsky, who stars in MiddleMen. These are two great Edmonton artists doing incredible work. And they make for one of our most hilarious interviews to date (I know, we always say that, don’t we?). Here’s the show breakdown:

0:00: Intro “your kids’ playground”
0:57: MiddleMen interview, part 1
6:58: The U of A’s Gateway turns 100 this week. So we find out what kind of birthday party is planned

It’s true! After so much joking and tongue-in-cheek referrals to Edmonton’s newspaper of record on our show, the Edmonton Journal decided to put their money where our mouths are, by sponsoring the Unknown Studio this month!

If you’ve seen the movie Shawn of the Dead, you’ll know that Shawn and Ed’s plan when the zombie apocalypse came was to get all their pals together, head to their favourite pub — the Winchester — and hole up there until the cavalry came. Smart guys, Shawn and Ed. Drinks and weaponry: a solid strategy.

Well I can do them one better. Read the rest of this entry »

Just when you thought that neither Scott C. Bourgeois nor myself could look any creepier or more lecherous than we already do, that famous mustache-growing month of Movember shows up to prove you — yes you! — wrong.

Scott did Movember last year, and this is my first year. I’m a Movember virgin. And having had a full beard for the last year and a half (and a propensity to obey the fucking rules, Gregg Beever, you cheating bastard), I have to tell you it was very difficult to take a knife to my face on Nov 1 and remove all the hair that once resided there.

Here’s the show breakdown:

2:12: Election Re-cap with Dave Cournoyer
22:40: TheEdmontonian.com’s election-night coverage

That’s not entirely true, of course. But Scott and I, being the ridiculously good-looking and busy men that we are, will not have a podcast out today. As we gather interviews for our post-Edmonton-election wrap-up show, we want to get it right. And we want it to be interesting.

So we’ll release our next episode tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay. We know you’ve really been looking forward to this!
