    Karen Gillan Talks ‘Late Bloomers’ & ‘Oculus’

    Karen Gillan Talks ‘Late Bloomers’ & ‘Oculus’

    Karen Gillan joins the show to talk about her new comedy film Late Bloomers, in theaters June 7 — as well as spooky Scottish stories, and the 10th anniversary of her film Oculus, directed by Mike Flanagan.
    Gillan went from Doctor Who fame to franchise movie star with roles in Guardians of the Galaxy, Jumanji, and Gunpowder Milkshake — as well as indie dramas All Creatures Here Below, and The Party’s Just Beginning (which she wrote and directed).
    Now, with Late Bloomers, Gillan plays Louise, a 28-year-old Brooklynite adrift in life, who finds herself suddenly single and grappling with her identity as a musician. While she struggles with her underlying depression, a reckless drunken stumble lands her with a broken hip and leads to a stint in a physical therapy ward with patients twice her age. Here, she crosses paths with Antonina (played by Margaret Sophie Stein), a cantankerous elderly Polish woman who speaks no English. Reluctantly, Louise takes on the role of Antonina's caregiver, a situation neither of them welcomes. As they navigate their begrudging relationship, they confront the realities of aging, forcing Louise to consider her own journey into adulthood.

    Alien ‘Conquest’ with Norm Coyne

    Alien ‘Conquest’ with Norm Coyne

    Producer Norm Coyne, founding partner of the Northern FanCon pop culture event, joins the show to discuss his comedic alien invasion-meets-comic con short film ‘Conquest’ — now being adapted into a feature film.

    Conquest is the result of a mentorship program with Northern FanCon. For the past few years now, FanCon has received support from the film industry catalyst Creative BC for workshops and panels. These guests are of quality pedigree - Writer's Guild award winners, Emmy award winners, Golden Globe award winners. During the course of the 3 days of FanCon, they deliver masterclasses in their respective fields behind the camera. This initiative was designed to foster interest in film industry development and establish Prince George as a shooting location for productions. Relationships made in the Creative Corner have led to 4 feature films shot in Prince George in the last two years. In 2 of these films, Prince George portrayed itself garnering a great deal of benefit for local tourism efforts. This past May, the Creative Corner levelled up by actually shooting our short film Conquest at Northern FanCon with the film industry experts of the Creative Corner partnered with local less experienced counterparts in a unique mentorship activation.

Side Jen ,

Beyond binge-worthy

Admittedly finding this one later than I would’ve liked, but such a fantastic show. The diversity of topics is unparalleled. The guests are outstanding, educated and engaging. Aaron’s knowledge of all guests and topics drives the podcast with a perfect balance that provides both an understanding and learning opportunity for people of all levels of knowledge and interest in all things strange and unusual. Absolutely loving it!

Colleen all weirdos ,

A fun dive into weird waters!

Host Aaron Sagers is a true prince of paranormal pop culture. This pod takes you on a journey to weird, spooky, and spacey places you didn’t even know you were dying to visit. It’s for all ages, but GenXers, in particular, will love Aaron’s humor and cultural references. I’m a big fan!

Spinoff boy ,

Informative, fun, great host

Love the range of paranormal and paranormal-adjacent topics, and the mix of recognizable celeb guests along with paranormal personalities, authors, and researchers. They also make an effort to talk to underrepresented communities. Aaron has a ton of paranormal tv hosting experience, which is a strength and he doesn’t make it about himself
