    In The Seats With...Michael Kelly and 'Special Ops: Lioness'

    Some people are just easy to talk to....On this episode we dive back into the world of 'Special Ops: Lioness' to talk with the one and only Michael Kelly who play Byron Westfield on the show.From the mind of Taylor Sheridan, 'Special Ops: Lioness' follows CIA operative Joe (Zoe Saldana) who attempts to balance her personal and professional life as the tip of the spear in the agency's war on terror. She enlists Cruz, a female special operations Marine, as an undercover member of the Lioness Program.A gripping show from wire to wire, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Michael to discuss the highs and lows of a show like this and so very much more....

    In The Seats With....James A Woods, Nicolas Wright and 'French Girl'

    In The Seats With....James A Woods, Nicolas Wright and 'French Girl'

    Love can occasionally present itself in some pretty strange ways....In theatres now, it's time to make an unexpected trip back to this hosts home province and an unexpectedly charming tale of true love.  It's time for 'French Girl'.Gordon (Zack Braff), is a hopeless romantic, finds his proposal plans are thrown into chaos when his girlfriend is swept away to Quebec by a job offer from her ex, a sophisticated celebrity chef. Determined to keep their love alive, Gordon leaves Brooklyn for her hometown, only to find himself hilariously out of his depth in attempting to charm her hard-to-impress, French-speaking family.This one was unexpectedly charming which is likely thanks to the somewhat fresh take that debut writer/directors James A Woods and Nicolas Wright took in telling this story.  It still has all the appropriate emotional moments without overtly leaning too hard into any expected story telling beats from the genre.We had the unique pleasure of sitting down with James and Nicholas in advance of the release to talk about the origins of the story, making Quebec City a character of its own, the distinct nature of Quebecois cinema and so very much more.

    In The Seats With...Laura Adkin and 'Re:Uniting'

    There's something about real and relatable human stories that is just hard to look away from...On this episode we gather with friends to see how life can really force us all to take a second look at our lives.  It's time for 'Re:Uniting' which is in theatres now.Starring Jesse L Martin (Law & Order, The Irrational), Michelle Harrison (The Flash), Roger Cross (War For the Planet of the Apes), David James Lewis (Child’s Play), Carmen Moore (Nancy Drew) and Bronwen Smith (Firefly Lane) as six best friends from college who reconnect for their 25 year reunion.   When Rachel, played by Michelle Harrison, receives life-changing news, she secretly grapples with her mortality while playing host to her friends who have grown up and gone their separate ways since college. Carrie, a mother of 3, Natalie, a workaholic neurosurgeon, former football star turned sportscaster Collin, and playboy man-child Danny join Rachel and her husband at their picturesque home on the beautiful and secluded Bowen Island. As soon as they are all together it’s like no time has passed; they laugh, drink and dance the night away. Rachel’s nostalgia is echoed by the group as they realize how much time has gone by, and how much they have all changed. As secrets are revealed, they are forced to change the way they look at their futures. With echoes of films like 'The Big Chill' there's something about 'Re:Uniting' that just feels so genuine that you won't want to look away from this fantastic ensemble piece.In advance of the film's release we had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with writer/director Laura Adkin to talk about the origins of the story and so very much more....

    In The Seats With...Jeremy Lalonde and 'Daniel's Gotta Die'

    Even on the best of days...family is complicated.On this episode we dive head first into a dark yet hilarious ensemble comedy which is in theatres tomorrow.  Brace yourself because 'Daniel's Gotta Die'.Daniel (Joel David Moore) has always been somewhat estranged from his family, but a chance at family unity comes around when he's called to the hospital bed of his father Edward (Iggy Pop).  Much to the chagrin of his other siblings (Mary Lynn Rajskub, Carly Chaikin and Jason Jones) they can only inherit their share of their father's fortune unless they reunite as a family, other wise Daniel gets it all.  Under the watch of their family lawyer (Bob Saget) they all head down to their family home in the Cayman Islands to reunite as a family, but Daniel is the only one invested in "family time", as the rest of them plot the only way to get the money and back to their lives; Daniel's Gotta Die.A fun romp that borrows from the likes of Agatha Christie to a myriad of revenge comedies, it's a truly entertaining ensemble piece that will have laughing and squirming just a little bit right from the outset. We had the unique pleasure of sitting down with director Jeremy Lalonde to talk about the genesis of the project, shooting during the pandemic, memories of Bob Saget  and so very much more.

    In The Seats With...Cody Lightning and 'Hey, Viktor!'

    Sometimes you never know that you need a movie until it up and smacks you in the face....On this special episode we dive into some heartfelt, self-depricating Can-Con hilarity that is an early contender for one of the best Canadian films of the year.  It's time for 'Hey, Viktor!'Twenty years removed from childhood fame as Little Viktor in 1998’s 'Smoke Signals', Cody Lightning has been forced to move home to his reserve in northern Alberta. He still believes himself to be famous; even though the only parts he gets these days are porn & fracking commercials.But when Cody learns his wife and kids are leaving him for a younger, more successful actor, he decides it’s time to quit fucking around and make his masterpiece; writing, directing, & starring in 'Smoke Signals 2: Still Smoking'.A documentary crew follows Cody on his journey around the Indigenous world— re-uniting the original cast, borrowing money from arms dealers, & realizing his vision... just in time to realize his vision was basically shit.If there's a Canadian 'This Is Spinal Tap' this is pretty much it as Cody tackles the the multi-headed hydra of writing, directing, producing and starring in his own feature....and he makes it look effortless while being hilarious.In advance of the film's release tomorrow we had the chance to sit own and talk with Cody about the origins of the film, the comedy of it all and so very much more....

King uses the newly launched robotic K9’s to track Pav down, while Connor finds himself once again reaching out to Garrett and his crew for help, but can he trust the man who landed him in prison in the first place?The story of this franchise is so fascinating and with pt II now on Netflix, its fun to see a movie like that this that was essentially born out of a fan campaign turn into an actual franchise.We had the pleasure of talking with Co-Writer and Director Jeff Chan along side co-star Alex Mallari Jr about the origins of the 'Code 8' universe, the relationship that Canadian talent has with science fiction and what the future holds for these characters.
