Corey Morrissette: Part One — We Shot the Theme Song (ShotSpotter Was Watching)

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0500

This week on the SeanGeek and FastFret Podcast, Sean and Todd welcome a very special guest: Corey Morrissette, a multi-show podcaster whose passion for music and pop culture runs as deep as ours. We kick things off talking about Chaz Charles — a titan of the podcasting world who hosts an impressive stable of shows — and how Corey came to collaborate with Chaz, Wolfie, and Scott on The Elder Podcast, a show built around the legendary KISS concept album. It's a great conversation about what it means to love a piece of music enough to dig into it week after week.

From there, we get into some housekeeping of our own. We walk you through our updated Patreon tiers and what each one gets you, because we want to make sure our community knows how to support the show — and what you get in return. Whether you're a Certified Geek, a TrueGeek, or a Supreme Geek, there's a tier for you at patreon.com/seangeekpodcast.

We also revisit one of our favourite recent episodes — Heath McCoy's appearance on the show, where we dove deep into the history of Stampede Wrestling. It's the kind of conversation we love having, and if you missed it, it's well worth going back to listen.

In a bit of a left turn, we spend some time on a genuinely fascinating real-world topic: gunshot detection technology. We talk through how systems like ShotSpotter work, how they help police identify the direction of gunfire and respond more quickly, and what the data is actually showing in neighborhoods where the technology has been deployed. It's the kind of story that sounds technical on the surface but turns out to be pretty compelling once you get into it.

Oh, and Todd's theme song? We tried. We really did. We'll leave it at that. But it does lead into a great conversation about wrestling entrance music — which bands should be walking out to what themes, and which ones actually fit. Corey has opinions. Strong ones.

From there we get into Bon Jovi, and specifically into Jon Bon Jovi's well-documented vocal struggles following throat surgery. It's not a pile-on — it's an honest conversation about what happens when time catches up with rock royalty, and what it means when a frontman who built a career on that voice is clearly not the same performer he once was.

We also dig into the current state of concert-going — ticket prices, opening acts, and the increasingly difficult math of deciding whether a show is worth it. With Motley Crue and Creed both coming through Winnipeg, we have some thoughts on where the bar is these days and whether it's being cleared.

We close out Part One with a deep dive into ZZ Top — specifically the Eliminator era, the ongoing debate about drum machines versus live drums in their recordings, and what the future might hold for a Corey-led ZZ Top season of Ultimate Catalog Clash. Plus, a quick appreciation for Billy Gibbons, who at 76 years old remains one of the coolest human beings on the planet.

Part Two is coming soon, and we promise it's worth the wait.

Support the show at patreon.com/seangeekpodcast. You can find Corey and his work, including The Elder Podcast, wherever you listen to podcasts.

Rock, Metal, and the Wheel of Topics with Heath McCoy

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0500

With the wrestling history books set aside for now, SeanGeek, FastFret, and Heath McCoy turn their attention to music. The conversation ranges from the live album chemistry of Rush and ZZ Top, to the underappreciated 1970s era of the Scorpions, to Beck's ever-shifting musical identity — with a few rounds of the show's "Pass or Go" game thrown in along the way. Heath also shares some of his work outside of wrestling, including his interviews with comic book legends Neil Adams, Stan Lee, and Alan Moore, teasing a possible future episode dedicated entirely to comics.

Wrestling Territories with Heath McCoy

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0500

SeanGeek and FastFret welcome author Heath McCoy for a deep dive into the golden age of Canadian wrestling territories. Heath brings his historian's eye to the fascinating ecosystem of regional promotions — how wrestlers moved between them, how championships were structured, and what made each territory distinct. The conversation covers the inner workings of Stampede Wrestling in Calgary and Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling in the Maritimes, the financial arrangements between promotions, and the careers of wrestlers like Ric Flair, Andre the Giant, Randy Savage, Leo Burke, and the Cuban Assassin as they navigated the territory circuit. Heath and the guys also take stock of where professional wrestling stands today compared to the more improvisational, character-driven era that made the business so compelling.

The Mighty Michael: Ruptured Cords, Heartbreak Confusion, and Mother's Little Shelter

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0500

In the second half of our conversation with Michael, author of "The Mighty Van Halen,: One Fan's Journey " we take a deep dive into the band Cinderella and their unique place in 1980s rock history.

We start by analyzing Cinderella's first album "Night Songs," exploring what made their sound so distinctive compared to other hair metal bands of the era. Michael and Sean break down the band's blues influence and how it set them apart from the typical glam rock sound, despite often being lumped into that category. We discuss their connection to Bon Jovi and how they were discovered.

The conversation explores Tom Keifer's unique vocal style, drawing comparisons to Janis Joplin and discussing how his distinctive singing technique—which involved rupturing his vocal cord—created such a memorable sound. We trace the band's trajectory from their popularity peak in the 1980s through their decline after the third album.

A major focus of our discussion is why Cinderella never achieved the lasting popularity of bands like Poison or Mötley Crüe, despite being more musically sophisticated. We explore how their bluesy sound didn't fit the typical hair metal image and how being incorrectly categorized may have hurt them. Their 1990 album "Heartbreak Station" represented a shift toward blues rock that may have confused fans, while bands like the Black Crowes with a similar style found more lasting success.

We compare Cinderella to Mötley Crüe, agreeing that while Cinderella was more musically accomplished, Mötley Crüe better represented 1980s hairband culture. The conversation takes an interesting turn as we discuss how the CD format might have changed listening habits—the ability to skip tracks leading to less engagement with deeper album cuts.

We analyze specific tracks including "Last Mile" with its strong background vocals and relatable themes of travel and hard work, and "Shelter Me," comparing its positive, uplifting message to the Rolling Stones' darker "Mother's Little Helper." We appreciate Cinderella's more optimistic lyrics, especially contrasting them with some of the darker themes prevalent in 1990s music.

The episode wraps with Michael promoting his book "The Mighty Van Halen: One Fan's Journey" and final reflections on our formative music experiences.

Michael Pastore: MTV Babies, Wolfgang's Destiny, and Christmas Disco Fever

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0500

In this episode, we welcome Michael, author of "The Mighty Van Halen: One Fan's Journey," for a nostalgic journey through the cassette rock era of the 1980s.

We start by tackling some technical challenges with audio and Discord setup before diving into Michael's book, which chronicles his coming-of-age as a Van Halen fan during the golden age of rock. Michael shares how readers from different regions have found his story deeply relatable, highlighting the unique experiences of a generation that built stereos, traded tapes, and lived for new album releases.

The conversation flows naturally into memories of first hearing Van Halen—from Michael's 1970s introduction to the band, to watching MTV's early days, to the cultural phenomenon of the 1984 album. We discuss David Lee Roth's eclectic SiriusXM radio show and share stories about the transition from vinyl and cassette culture to the digital age.

We explore concert experiences and the modern music scene, touching on Wolfgang Van Halen's upcoming shows, potential collaborations with Billie Eilish, and news about Slash filming in Winnipeg. The conversation takes a fun turn as we share our most anticipated album purchases—from Van Halen's 1984 to KISS's Dynasty—and reminisce about our first music purchases, early disco influences, and those treasured Christmas albums from the late '70s.

It's a celebration of the era when music was a tactile experience and every new album release was an event.

Nick Jones from Pod of Thunder: Emotional Shredding, Mangled Forks, and The Last Crusade

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 05:00:00 -0500

In the second half of our conversation with Nick from Pod of Thunder, we dive deep into music, emotion, and entertainment.

We compare the emotional depth of Steve Vai's "For the Love of God" with Joe Satriani's instrumental work, exploring how technical skill alone isn't enough—emotional connection is what separates great performances from legendary ones. We discuss instrumental music's power to convey emotion without words, touching on artists like Nat King Cole and what makes truly vulnerable performances resonate.

Plus: Todd's saga with terrible hospital cutlery (it's worse than you think) and a fun debate about movie sequels better than their originals—from Terminator 2 to The Last Crusade.

Nick from Pod of Thunder: Human Serviette, Wheel of Spite, and Parody Albums

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 05:00:00 -0500

In the first half of this episode, we sit down with Nick from Pod of Thunder for a fascinating conversation about podcasting, nostalgia, and Canadian music legends.

We kick things off discussing an intriguing podcast concept about screenwriting based on album tracks before diving into memories of obscure 70s TV shows and how YouTube has transformed from a platform for random content into a nostalgia powerhouse and instructional video library.

The conversation takes an interesting turn as we explore AI technology—both its benefits and pitfalls. Nick shares a story about AI providing completely incorrect information, while we discuss how AI can be useful for tasks like product reviews. We also talk about the importance of family in podcasting, with Nick sharing stories about his mom's involvement in Pod of Thunder.

We explore how COVID-19 changed podcasting forever by normalizing virtual recording and remote guests, comparing our different setups (StreamYard vs. Zoom) and discussing the evolution of podcast equipment over the years.

The highlight of the episode is our deep dive into Nardwuar the Human Serviette, the legendary Canadian music interviewer known for his eccentric persona and encyclopedic knowledge of bands. We watch clips of his iconic interviews with KISS and Divine, discuss his unique interviewing style, and celebrate his upcoming induction into the Order of Canada. Nick also introduces us to Norman Gunston, another character-based interviewer, and his hilarious KISS parody album "Kiss Army."

We wrap up this segment with discussions about family-friendly entertainment, video games like Roblox and Minecraft, and some memorable concert experiences.

The Elder Took the Bronco to the Lobster Festival and Left the Tomb Raider Controllers Behind.

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 05:00:00 -0500

Sean and Todd bounce between gaming, music, and nostalgia, starting with ideas for interactive game content, controller upgrades, and retro gaming revivals like Tomb Raider. They share personal stories about icy driving, livestream experiments, and the frustrations (and joys) of modern gaming gear, before drifting into memories of arcades, family gatherings, and musical moments growing up.

The conversation pivots into wrestling nostalgia, local legends, and the way time reshapes how memories land. From there, Sean introduces new podcast projects and deep dives into concept albums, setting the stage for an extended discussion on KISS — particularly The Elder. Sean explains his lifelong connection to the album, including creating a comic inspired by it as a kid, and breaks down how KISS’s shift away from mythic, superhero-like personas hurt the record’s reception.

Sean and Todd explore KISS’s evolving image, Gene Simmons’ original supernatural vision for the band, Paul Stanley’s later creative control, and the eventual return to makeup and character-driven theatrics. They highlight tracks like “The Oath” as progressive, theatrical standouts that helped shape Sean’s love of concept albums, while also touching on other KISS records, band dynamics, and how image, leadership, and storytelling can make or break an album.

From 8-Tracks to Algorithms: Tim Durling on Rock, Podcasts, and Staying Authentic

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0500

SeanGeek and FastFretFingers are joined by Tim Durling—author, podcaster, and fellow Maritimes native—for a wide-ranging conversation that blends podcasting, music history, and the ever-changing relationship between creativity and technology.

The episode kicks off with shared Maritimes and Acadian roots, recording setups, and the small-world podcast connections that brought Tim onto the show. From there, the discussion moves into podcasting strategy, including YouTube’s RSS distribution, audience growth, and why casual, conversational interviews often work better than rigid formats.

Music takes center stage as Tim digs into his deep knowledge of classic rock, touching on Rush and Triumph reunion news, KISS concert myths, Whitesnake’s evolving sound, and why certain 80s bands endured while others disappeared. The conversation also wrestles with the impact of grunge on rock music in the 1990s, oversaturation in the hair-metal era, and the recurring cycle of musical trends.

The group explores originality versus formulaic music, modern radio, and whether today’s hyper-polished sound will eventually collapse like past genre bubbles. Tim brings a radio professional’s perspective, balancing skepticism with optimism about authentic artists still breaking through.

The episode wraps with Tim’s journey as an author, including his unexpected deep dive into 8-track tapes, successful Kickstarter publishing, and his growing catalog of album-by-album rock books, from Y&T to his current Fleetwood Mac project.

Shared Lyrics, Ska Beef, and Sam Thompson

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0500

Sam returns to the show to tackle the ever-reliable Board O’ Topics, and yes—somehow it all starts with Christmas. Riveting podcast content, as promised.

From there, the conversation wanders (by design) into the realities of video, podcasting, and clipping content—what actually hits, what absolutely doesn’t, and how much social media effort is too much. We get honest about the awkwardness of asking for money, supporting creative work, and what Sean actually received for the podcast.

Sean also reveals that he’s been sleeping well lately—and explains why—leading into a discussion on active imagination and the strange mental movies that happen while we sleep.

Music & Pop Culture Segments

Pass or Go: Skinnerbox – “Nex Finga”
This sparks a deeper dive into King Django, ska history, and the surprisingly sharp world of dis tracks within ska music.
Songs with Shared Lyrical Content:
Maroon 5 vs. The Airborne Toxic Event — which song has more heart and sincerity?
The discussion expands to Smokey Robinson’s “Tracks of My Tears”, Leigh Filbert’s “Time to Go Home”, plus detours into The Ramones and Jacob Brodovsky.

Education, Badges, and Brains

We unpack the idea of participation badges—whether they’re real, misunderstood, or just badly explained—and clarify how modern school systems actually handle achievement. This leads into reflections on:

Advanced vs. slower learning streams
Moving from French immersion to English school
A surprising (and welcome) turn into physics

Food, Gratitude, and Facial Hair

Somehow, we also:

Define exactly what a jailhouse burrito is
Share the recipe
Thank the listeners and supporters of both Sean’s and Sam’s shows
And finally address the real question: what is going on with Sean’s mustache

Books, Bots, and the Battle for Good Stories: Geeking With Karen Bee

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0500

In this episode of Geeking With Karen Bee, Seanorama and Karen dive into AI ethics, creative ownership, and how artificial intelligence is reshaping work, art, and even tabletop RPG prep. They explore the benefits and concerns surrounding AI, including copyright issues and its impact on artists and creators.

The conversation shifts to book recommendations and geek reading habits, spotlighting the popular LitRPG series Dungeon Crawler Carl, along with current DC and Marvel comics featuring Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and the X-Men. The hosts also discuss standout comic creators like Gail Simone and Warren Ellis.

Film and television take center stage as Sean and Karen break down Peacemaker, Hawkeye, Knives Out, Zootopia 2, and the evolving Marvel and DC cinematic universes. They share candid thoughts on upcoming superhero movies, actor performances, and why strong storytelling matters more than box office numbers.

The episode wraps with reflections on beloved actors, career comebacks, celebrity authenticity, and what makes fandom feel meaningful in an era of constant reboots and sequels.

A thoughtful, funny, and honest conversation about pop culture, technology, and the stories that keep us geeking out.

Leaderhouse: Dustin Leader and Matt Budoloski Capture Lightning in a Bottle

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Matthew Budoloski and Dustin Leader from Leaderhouse join the show for a rich and celebratory dive to discuss the band and it's history. From the earliest days, Matt and Dustin’s connection generated a spark that shaped Leaderhouse’s sound, identity, and approach to music.

We dig into the full origin story:

• How Matt and Dustin met and how the band formed

• How Christian and Scott came aboard

• The “Leaderhouse Five” era — including the brief but memorable involvement of Remy Shand

• The musical influences and organic evolution of the band’s sound and their ties to the Blue Meanies.

We also highlight the creation of their album, produced by Christian’s father Norm. From Christian's age, D — the sessions captured the authenticity and interplay that defined the group. Dustin’s soundscaping, Matt’s melodic sensibility, and Christian's youthfulness shine throughout.

We also touch on what the members pursued after Leaderhouse:

• Matt transitioning into Volume

• Dustin moving on to craft new sonic ideas in Projektor

The conversation expands into the nature of songwriting, the shifts in the music industry, the rediscovery of older music by younger listeners, how kids connect to songs today, and why authenticity continues to matter.

We’re joined by Brian Fergusson for a wild, nostalgic, and downright hilarious dive into our childhood in Shediac. From labor board battles and Bell service nightmares to lobster debates, lost fast-food icons, Kiss solo albums, cemetery donuts, and the infamous Halifax breakdown — this one covers everything.

We wrap the show with a lively round of Pass or Go, featuring artists like Living Colour, Post Malone, Mac Miller, Castle Rat, Wet Leg, Goose, 1755, War on Drugs, Lola Young, New Meanies, and The Cure. Expect plenty of ’90s nostalgia, mall-music talk, djent chatter, and jam-band detours.

Breaking A Little Ain’t Enough by David Lee Roth

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 05:00:00 -0500

As part of the Breaking series, Sean talks about David Lee Roth’s 1991 album A Little Ain’t Enough. This one had a lot of importance in Sean’s musical growth, exposing him to the other sides of Jason Becker and properly introducing him to Steve Hunter. While this album may have been during Dave’s decline commercially, it is definitely one of his best albums.

Rush Returns, Todd Reacts, and the Great Coffee Filter Mystery

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Sean and Todd are back in the studio — and things get wild fast. The boys kick off comparing setups between the Trailer Park Boys, Pod of Thunder, and their own ever-evolving Blinshriek Studios.

Then it’s on to the news that’s got every Canadian rocker buzzing: a Rush reunion! Expect giddy excitement, nerdy speculation, and a deep dive into the legacy of all the Alex’s.

Todd gets properly educated on the Yngwie Malmsteen plane incident (complete with fiery retelling), while the gang redefines “cocaine” as “Cocagne” — because why not? There’s a musical intermission with Lifte as the guys break down riffs, 5150 amp setups, and the eternal quest for tone perfection.

But things take a left turn into pure SeanGeek and FastFret territory:

Why is one door locked and one not at every store?
How many coffee filters does one pot really need, and how does that connect to crabs? (You’ll have to listen.)

To close things out, Todd gives his first-time reactions to a playlist from Skelly Willigogs, featuring:

🎵 Blue King Brown – “Water”

🎵 G. Love & Special Sauce – “Doin’ Fine” & “Cold Beverages”

🎵 The Cat Empire – “One Four Five”

🎵 Cake – “The Distance”

🎵 Soul Coughing – “Lazybones”

🎵 Spot – “Straight Through The Sun’s Head”

The Trailer Behind the Metal Shoppe Has Halloween

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Is Antony behind the missing Donnie Rames Jio? What’s Michael Bolton got to do with hobgoblins, and why does it all feel like In Obscurian is meddling again? Carmine Appice sends his drum wisdom to Rory & Sean, the boys rank all four KISS solo albums, and Vincent Price officially becomes the spirit of Halloween.

Plus: Blackened Thrash, neoclassical madness, and the eternal power of Yngwie Malmsteen.

When Time Stops: Sean Minogue on Writing, Creativity, and Terminal Solstice

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 05:00:00 -0500

In this episode, Sean and Karen Bee talk with author Sean Minogue, whose debut novel Terminal Solstice imagines a world where time itself stops. But our chat goes far beyond the book — we dive into the creative process, writing for stage and screen, joining Turnstone Press, the craft of description and aphantasia, the music and photography that inspire him, and how to simply keep writing.

Tribute To Ace Frehley

Sat, 25 Oct 2025 05:00:00 -0500

We have been reeling as you all have with the news of Ace’s passing. On this episode Todd and Sean gathered with Josh and Vinnie to discuss Ace’s legacy, a bunch of his shinning moments, and some great clips of Ace’s playing over a long and varied career in rock. We also share some great words from Tony Griggs, Danny Roy and Chaz Charles.

Metal Shoppe 109 - Too Cold for Metal, Too Soft for Rock

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Shoutout to HR Georgia Lunch! Antony Kitaen’s been banished to the electrical system and swears revenge on the world’s worst manager, Donnie Rames Jio — the soft rock tyrant of the plant. Peeping Tom preaches plastic, Carmine Appice sings Donnie’s praises, and the crew faces freezing temps, strange visitors, and maybe a famous singer slumming it with the workers.

Episode 562: Evan Quiring: Murder City Devil

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 05:00:00 -0500

This episode dives deep into the legend of the Murder City Devil by comic creator Evan Quiring. We explore the city’s eerie and supernatural backdrop for the comic, including some of our weird experiences: secret tunnels, ghost stories, hidden love letters in old walls, and the King’s Head in the Exchange District. We break down some of the inspirations within the comic, based on old lore and stories from yesteryear.

We also dive into comic culture itself — discussing timelines, character progression, and continuity wars: DC Comics vs Marvel Comics, the “Brand New Day” era, Captain Jean DeWolf, and remembering when Marvel “cinema” was “crap” in the ’70s and ’80s versus today. We talk Gregory Chomichuk, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby (as the Lennon & McCartney of comics), Bill Finger finally getting credit for Batman, and how creators are like bands. Plus: who would you cast in a Jack Kirby biopic?

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 05:00:00 -0500

In this episode, we dive into the creative journey of Evan — from punk rock roots to comic books. We trace his early inspirations like The Big Snit at National Film Board of Canada and The Cat Came Back, Sergio Aragonés, Mort Drucker, the training he got through the Manitoba Society of Independent Animators and the Joe Kubert School, his punk rock roots of the Ramones and the Sex Pistols and his early bands.

We also discuss tablets versus paper, blue line work, and some talk on the music of 60’s Spider-Man.

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Sean has just returned from the other side—Shediac—and he’s brought some Acadian Metal back for Rory. As the tracks spin, the two unravel the latest chaos on the plant floor: the fall of the Metal Lorde, the rise of one Donnie Rames Jio, and the mystery artist he wields as his weapon in the battle to purge the Shoppe of metal once and for all.

Episode 557 – Shediac a Palooza with Ronald George Moore

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 05:00:00 -0500

In this impromptu episode, Ronald George Moore crashes the pod to spill some dish on Sam from Witchpolice Radio. Meanwhile, Todd dives into stories from his trip out to the Maritimes. From chaotic flights and the infamous “Todd vacuum seal” to HR mishaps and a Nova Scotia drought, nothing is off the table. Along the way we hit Trailer Park Boys territory, visit Peggy’s Cove, and even grab a coffee at Robin’s Donuts.

The journey takes us through Shediac—home of the giant lobster, endless traffic, and plenty of nostalgia. We reminisce about old haunts like the Pit, Neptune Drive-Way, and Pointe Du Chenes; remember characters like Brigitte and the Shediac wrestlers; and recount late nights, Dixie Lee fried chicken, and a live band at Fisherman’s.

It’s part travelogue, part comedy, and part trip down memory lane—classic SeanGeek and FastFret Podcast chaos.

Episode 556 - Geeking With Karen Bee – Back To The Beginning and Superman

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 16:50:00 -0500

In this episode, we dive deep into Ozzy Osbourne’s “Back to the Beginning” final concert and discuss whether Sammy Hagar was the low point of the show.

Do the old Marvel movies still hold up, or were they just great at the time? We debate how the newer films lean too heavily on cheap pops and flashy money shots. Falcon and The Winter Soldier has aged well, but its follow-ups felt forced.

We also get into She-Hulk, Daredevil, Thunderbolts, and Captain America: New World Order, with a special focus on Ironheart's mishandling by Disney and whether her appearance in Wakanda Forever was a misstep.

We revisit how some older CGI still holds up better than today’s, and compare it to the over-reliance on CGI in modern films.

Finally, we round things off with a look at the new Superman movie, highlighting all the things it got right — from casting, tone, and hopefulness to Lex Luthor, Krypto, and the Daily Planet. A must-listen for fans of both classic and contemporary superhero stories!

Episode 555 – Geeking With Karen Bee: Portals, Page-Turners & Swamp Things

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 13:45:00 -0500

In this episode, we (finally!) settle into our brand new studio setup and catch up on all the books, stories, and strange obsessions that have been filling our shelves—and our heads—lately. From the heartbreak and food memories of Crying in H Mart to the surreal mythology of The Spear Cuts Through Water, we share what’s moved us, confused us, or just totally swept us away. Expect lively discussion about The Midnight Library, The Book of Doors, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow—all rich with time travel, alternate realities, and unexpected doorways.

Things get chaotic with Dungeon Crawler Carl, philosophical with The Poppy War, and delightfully weird with Halls of the Turnip King. We also dip into the strange, mossy world of Swamp Thing—from Alan Moore’s iconic run to the creature’s (sometimes cursed) appearances in film.

Along the way, we touch on I Hope This Finds You Well and what it says about modern workplace culture, gush about using Storygraph, and shout out the haunting track Pinprick by Dome.

If you love books with bite, stories with portals, and a little comic book nostalgia, this one’s for you.

Episode 554 – Lawn Caring for Ozzy, Writing the Songs Of Vinnie Vincent

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 10:45:00 -0500

Wildfires and torrential rains kick things off, giving way to an unexpected deep dive into lawn care—think mowers, stubborn mushrooms, invasive roots, and the perils of septic tanks. The conversation meanders through the joys and woes of home maintenance: unblocking drains, swapping out bathtubs, and the unique challenges that tall folks face in the shower.

Then the real thunder strikes with a full rundown of the Ozzy Finale. We dissect the lineup: who jammed with whom, why Sammy appeared, the mystery guest from that numbered band, whether Ozzy could truly deliver, Sabbath’s chemistry, and Jake E Lee’s elusive presence. Our verdict? Plenty to debate. We pull back the curtain on the business side of Ozzy Inc.—especially those notorious songwriting credits, or the glaring absences thereof. Did the Blizzard of Ozz rhythm section get a raw deal? Where does Jake E Lee fit into the narrative?

Just as Todd’s yard troubles escalate, so does the drama: Vinnie Vincent enters the spotlight and the infamous Kiss contract he refused to sign. We break down the songwriting clauses, ask if Vinnie revitalized Kiss or got left in the cold, and trace his tumultuous ride from joining the band to his final departure. Playing devil’s advocate, we also unpack the broader debate over singers and songwriters—do vocalists deserve the credit, or is the band bigger than any one front person?

Episode 552 – Metal Shoppe 107 – HR Be Damned

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Georgia Lunch has made their return, HR regulations or not! We chat about local Winnipeg breweries and sampling their beers. Morgath and the Silmarion come up, as do musings on Jesus from Lord of the Rings, his skills in Kung Fu, and of course, the infamous ring of fire. Promotions for Sean and Tony are celebrated, and the enduring mystery of Kiss playing "Hell" even once is mentioned—plus a nod to Max Headroom’s possible connection.

Our conversation turns to the Air Guitarists Georgia is up against in competition. We also break down just how unscripted this show truly is, and riff on Tony’s infamous Sham Sandwiches, with a side note about restaurants that dare to offer Spam.

Anne Murray and the rules of Canadian Content step into the spotlight as we get a bit highbrow about Alberta versus Manitoba and the Buckeys chain. There’s even a humorous look at The Donald’s latest scheme to nab some beaver tails.

Gloryhammer and Alestorm, pirate metal, Deadly Sinners, theatrical swordplay with Lee Aaron, Rhapsody, and the legendary Christopher Lee all find their way into the discussion.

And yes, we even talk a little about Taylor Swift.

Episode 550 - Toilet Seats, Fence Fails, and Dad’s Cowboy Dreams: A Canadian Tire Confessional

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 05:00:00 -0500

We get into a lively discussion about toilet seats and bidets, exploring the importance of both height and comfort. Sean shares the saga of building a fence—detailing water retention, swollen wood, and the consequences of overwatering. After hand-augering four-foot post holes, Sean credits DDP Yoga and staying hydrated with saving him from being bedridden. Beds and the quest for a good night’s sleep come up, including what happens to your body when you create a “vapour lock.” We also swap tips on spending wisely and knowing when it’s worth paying more.

Sean recounts an encounter with a particularly infuriating Montreal “jabroni,” including a less-than-stellar impression, and we ask: Why do Harleys have mufflers that don’t actually work?

We reflect on Joe Walsh’s comments about how modern music is made and what’s changed in the industry.

Finally, we tell two stories about Dad: Was he ever a real cowboy? And what happened when a middle-aged man (Dad himself) applied for a cashier job at Canadian Tire, only to discover that wages don’t always reflect hard work.

Episode 547 – The Key to the Con of Spotify and the Nostalgia of Video Stores

Mon, 16 Jun 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Sean is running on empty while Todd shares frustrations about emails from Meta and the chaos surrounding people’s photos and videos. They delve into topics like the differences between phone photography and 35mm, space management on services like OneDrive and Google Drive, and maintenance challenges with pre-diagnostics. The episode takes a detour into pop culture with Todd's thoughts on the new Superman, BS raps, and nostalgic tales about video stores.

Keycon 2025 also gets its due: from Doc’s vocals and singing "Kickapoo" to panels, a new venue, and tales of Sean accidentally stumbling into a Live Action Role Play. Music discussions include Ghostfires, Chaz Charles, Jerry Reed, and Sean’s old band Salty Bear on BandCamp. They also dive into the controversies surrounding Soundcloud, Spotify’s treatment of creators, and the broader struggles faced by artists and podcasters in the industry.

Episode 538 – Breaking Volume’s The World

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Volume’s The World EP was a hint of an upcoming release that never happened. One of the best EP’s to ever come out of Winnipeg, nay out of Canada, the majestic sound of Volume spoke to me. With unbelievable live performances this band was set to ignite the world, but fizzled after the band slowly fell apart. Two of my favorite episodes of our show featured Leigh Filbert on episode 270 and Alfie Catolico on 353, which cobbled together the story of Volume. Here are some big songs from what would have been their full length album release, as well as a showcase on Alf’s various other bands.

Episode 537 – Swinging Songwriting with the Ultimate Catalogue Clash

Mon, 07 Apr 2025 05:00:00 -0500

The hosts of the Ultimate Catalogue Clash are back again to dig through some more musical gems. How often do you look at songwriting credits? Do you choose songs based on who wrote them? What type of music listener are you?

We'll discuss the drumming prowess of Ringo Starr and other drummers who bring a unique swing to their performance. We'll also be taking a deep dive into some bands that have recently received criticism from Kevin, as we try to uncover some hidden treasures within their discography.

We'll explore a Kiss song with a bit of swing, and find out which one Sean can't stand. Additionally, we'll review an unusual Def Leppard track and some notorious Motley Crue hits. For the grand finale, we'll challenge Kevin with some Gene Simmons tracks.

We invite the hosts of the Ultimate Catalogue Clash for a discussion on the saxophone. How much is too much and how much is just right? We talk about songs that work and the ones that don’t, the New Jersey boardwalk Sax song, Bruce, Bowie, Floyd, The News, Michael, and the epic cheese of the Lost Boys sax guy, Kenny G, and others.

In our main event, we subject Kevin to Guns N' Roses' epic "November Rain." Long an ear-sore for Kevin, yet a favorite of Todd's, we analyze it for you, the listener.

Episode 534 – The Haute of Wingmen During a Pyromania

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 05:00:00 -0500

The discussion continues as Sean and Todd reflect on the importance of slowing down and appreciating the little things in life, using music as a means to find balance. Todd shares his thoughts on Def Leppard's iconic album, Pyromania, and emphasizes how lasting bands possess certain qualities that allow them to thrive, mentioning Rush as an example.

They reminisce about their time in New Brunswick, recalling memorable bush parties, Haute Aboujagane, and the legendary Vincent. The conversation turns to their teenage years, discussing the challenges of shyness and the ineffectiveness of wingmen, offering advice based on their experiences.

Moving on, they talk about the Neptune Theatre in Shediac, showcase their best Cheech and Chong impressions, and reflect on their early school years, from Grades 1 to 3.

Recorded at Ddoty Studios, we dive into a lively discussion about straws, which somehow leads us to Fergie – both her solo career and her time with the Black Eyed Peas. (4:26) We explore some of her most memorable songs, her impressive vocal range, and her collaborations with icons like Slash, Heart, and Aerosmith. Sean shares his favorite Fergie song to sing along to, while Todd offers an in-depth analysis of her vocal prowess. We also debate whether Fergie should have skipped the Black Eyed Peas and gone straight to rock.

Our conversation then shifts to Miley Cyrus (28:50) and Chris Cornell (36:56). We touch on Cornell's tribute, his vocal technique, and his powerful covers. The discussion continues with comparisons between Chris Cornell, Eddie Van Halen, Gary Cherone, and Steven Tyler.

Episode 532 - Geeking with Karen Bee: AI Movies, Superheroes, and the Fantastic Four

Mon, 03 Mar 2025 05:00:00 -0500

A new episode of Geeking with Karen Bee has arrived! We dive into the Valentine’s Day long weekend, discuss the misfortune of getting sick over the holiday, and share what we’re currently reading. We address the concept of rating things, the 5-star review system, and why not everything should be rated 5 stars. What exactly constitutes a library, and do you have one? We delve into Stephen King’s book, 11/22/63, focusing on its time travel elements. We also discuss The Hellfire Club, both as a political thriller novel and the villains from X-Men. We explore the Storygraph app and touch on Geddy Lee’s My Effin Life, Swamp Thing, and the comparison between Hunger Games and Battle Royale.

We highlight several AI movies including Ex Machina, Wild Robot, Lost in Space, Big Hero 6, and Bicentennial Man. We also talk Superman (1978), the 1960s Batman, and the various incarnations of these characters over the years, including Lex Luthor and the unconventional choice of Jesse Eisenberg. We debate our favorite Batman and discuss the upcoming Flash movie. Nostalgia kicks in as we reminisce about Wonder Woman.

We conclude the episode by talking about the Fantastic Four, especially the new trailer. Do we still need the Avengers when we have the Fantastic Four?

CoreyGeek joins the brothers to talk some about the bromance between Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds (no spoilers at all here, folks). We cover the story about Robert Downey Jr’s return to the MCU, who he is playing, why he is laying it and what we can expect from it. Somehow this all gets wrapped up with Anne Murray, Adam Levine, Kiss, Motley Crue, Johnny Depp, Corpse Grinder, Spider-Man, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Judge Dredd. We spark the Cap vs. Tony debate and dip into the history of Dr Doom.

Episode 497 – BS Raps in the W P G

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 05:00:00 -0500

BS Raps is on the show this week ahead of his upcoming album release. We touch on the creation of his music, samples, and the Canadian talent pool. We discuss Spotify’s Daniel Eck’s comment about music being simply “content”. We talk Yeti, music scores, dryers, Hollywood Squares and BS does a live rap for us. And some love to the Tragically Hip and their once in a lifetime performance on Saturday Night Live.

Episode 495 – Living With Distinction – Geeking out with Ruby P

Mon, 10 Jun 2024 05:00:00 -0500

It was a huge honour to have Ruby from Living Through Extinction bring her geek on the show. We chat all about the circumstances and synergy to various things that all brought her to her love of Harley Quinn. We discuss the origins of the character, and the ties to Days of Our Lives, Labyrinth, and others and some of the best representations of the character.

Ruby grew up in her own version of Bohunk. We each trace our origins from small towns to the big city, and how the world in all it’s flavours and colours opened up to us. We talk of the advent of comic and gaming shops, and some insight and stories on Comic Factory IV, Pendragon, Hemp Rock Cafe and A Muze N Games!

Dungeons and Dragons was a huge discovery in Ruby’s life. We talk about the game, including the satanic pandemic and the gaming groups. She also shares a story about Woody Harrelson and one about the Dust Rhinos. We also hit on crafting and cooking, and children.

Please check out Ruby’s show Living Through Extinction. It is an amazing show. https://sites.libsyn.com/223904/site

We end the episode on a Bros Before Gin song called Serious.

Geeking Out With Karen Bee. We chat about the Crave Canada streaming service and Netflix. What does Amazing Race Canada bring to the table and what education are we getting out of The Circle?

The entertainment industry can work people hard. Expectations are high, and often labour laws are bent and twisted to meet the requirements of producers and investors. We talk on the cases of Britney Spears, Jon Bon Jovi and Brendan Fraser.

We speak on the beauty of ASL, the challenges of epic 3 hour movies like Dune, Oppenheimer and anything Scorcese. We touch on the Oscar movies and Mark Wahlburg’s work ethic.

We continue with our OU812 rankings. (0:55) We touch on lyric writing, James Brown, if the Sammy era songs had happened during Dave’s era, just how amazing Darby Mills is and the greatness of Chilliwack. (9:08) Todd talks shop about Kramer and Steinberger guitar, locked tremolos and other Eddie gear. (19:52) What about Eddie and Sammy’s clothing choices during 5150? (26:32) And what famous shirt did Sean wear hoping people think he was as cool as Michael Anthony? We answer the question (likely incorrectly) of what exactly is the Pleasure Dome and why is Alex so amazing? (33:12) Can Todd and Sean execute poor Sammy lyrics better than Sammy? (44:24)

We get back on track this week and continue along with our rankings of OU812 (paying homage to The Podcast Will Rock). We talk Alex and Bonham and how groovy they both are.

(11:25) How hard was it to discover Van Halen when Anne Murray and Burton Cummings were force fed to you by the media? And how hard was it when Van Halen finally broke through on mainstream media and broke up shortly afterwards for us? Were we resentful when Sammy joined and why? We break down our feelings and emotions as fans during that time period.

(19:12) Van Halen’s breakthrough also broke many other bands to radio, like Honeymoon Suite, Triumph, Huey Lewis & The News and Hall & Oates. We break down how radio would not play something popular until it was safe to do so.

What were the circumstances that were happening to each of us when this album came out and how does this album rank amongst the Van Hagar catalog for us? While talking about the album and it’s ranking with us, we also broke into some other musical discoveries we made at Uncle Paul and Aunt Carol’s house in New Brunswick (16:40). We also talk about Uncle Ronny and Mike (27:58), Rock N Pod and InObscuria (34:59), payola (44:48), and making the perfect “old fashioned” (47:14). The boys also tell the infamous story (within the family) about the time Todd went missing and that was left behind was a shoe (52:48).

The Best of All Worlds tour featuring Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Jason Bonham and Joe Satriani is gearing up soon. We discuss the upcoming tour and what we know about it. (23:47)

David Lee Roth, the man with the mouth and the hyperactive personality may have been the best thing to happen to the Van Halen brothers, but that relationship was full of pitfalls. We dig in deep on Dave. (29:55)

Episode 472 – Pure Arsonists’ Emotions On A Rock Lobster

Mon, 01 Jan 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Where is Rage Rage? Real Christmas tree or fake tree. Simon has his jingle bells snipped. We talk ribs and Tony Roma’s. What are the differences between Maritime lobster and Rock lobster. Who creates podcasts on the road? We explain how to use the Podtrak on the road.

Can you hear the similarities between Jack Black, Doug and Slugs and Jim Croce.

We also play some new tracks from Amplified Emotions, Pure Entry, and Ash & the Arsonists. These are three proofs of how great Winnipeg Music is.

We head on into updates in video games, from console versus PC, GTA VI, 7 Days To Die, Fallout 76, and Elder Scrolls Online.

Episode 471 – Get Burton Cummings Off My Turntable This Season

Mon, 25 Dec 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Todd and Sean are just about ready for the holiday season. Are you? We chat about the rituals and getting ready for the season, customers’ unreasonable demands and the forced upsells in from retail. Current expressions, acronyms and abbreviations are getting lost in translation between generations, and please do be a “Karen”.

Popular music borrows heavily from what came before. We share some examples of music and their origins, or more specifically if you like Ava Max, just go listen to Abba.

Dad was a major musical influence on both of us. His bass playing is a fond memory but something else was his record collection. What was on our turntables growing up? Yeah Burton Cummings was but that Sals-eating grin never worked for me. He ain’t no Beatles that’s for sure.

This week of SeanGeek and FastFret, special guest CoreyGeek joins Seanorama for Breaking the Mold. We touch on our first experiences with the band, the music (including some choice tracks), their music videos, their iconic status, their perseverance, and how nice a band they are.

Episode 463 – Breaking The Hard Blow from E Z O

Mon, 30 Oct 2023 05:00:00 -0500

This week’s episode of Breaking, CoreyGeek joins Seanorama to discuss one of their favorite all-time bands in EZO. The Japanese band began as a punk outfit named Fratvacker (and later Flatbacker), garnering immediate attention while releasing 2 full length releases. This popularity brought the band to America, where they reinvented themselves as E Z O. After two more American releases the band called it quits.

We discuss their beginnings, how they came onto our radar, their look and their sound. Stylistically punk, with bits of hard rock thrown in, the vocal delivery of Masaki Yamada was indeed unique and powerful, the guitar work of Shoyo Ida monstrous, the bass of Taro Takahashi nailed the bottom and the showmanship of Hirotsuga Homma put the drummer front and center.

Sean and Todd have a wheel! Yes this original idea to view their topics on a wheel goes sideways, as things always do on the show. Who is better: Queen or the Reverend Horton Heat? And is it better buying in lots of 4 at supermarkets and who knew how political this topic is? Are Media and corporations trying to control how we eat, breathe and think?

o And what does this have to do with Star Trek? (39:32)

- What does Uncanny Valley mean? Are YOU afraid of robots? (56:56)

o Are you afraid of the Body Snatchers? (1:00:46)

Sean and Todd start off this week with some Mr Robot and Streaming Services. (0:34) Can you cut the cable from cable and if so how to keep up on local news. All of this leads into Todd’s pitch for a new Netflix series.

(15:28) How should we engage on Social Media? Is it better to pay someone? And where does Patreon and Twitch fit into all of this?

(26:22) What is the state of State of Decay 3, and just who is working with the studio to get the game out?

(50:21) We discuss Virtual Reality vacations (like in Total Recall).

This week special shout outs to Witchpolice Radio, InObscuria, Rage Rage and The Manitoba Moneyshot Podcast.

Episode 427 – Mark the Ant, Karen the Conqueror, and the Sean Knight

Fri, 31 Mar 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Karen and I needle Mark Camire from the Podcast Will Rock on Marvel Studios Quantumania. (0:32) We break down the film, from the MCU detractors to what the movie and the Studio got right. What is up with all these Kang variants and where is Kang taking the MCU from here on out? This leads into talk on Victor Von Doom and just where and how we think he is going happen, and Mark brings on a great theory about handling Latveria. (13:38) Marvel Studios have been introducing characters that could make up a team of Young Avengers. (23:28)

Wouldn’t it be nice to see the Invaders? (39:04) We chat about Fant4stic, the very failed Fantastic Four movie, (43:20) which leads us into the worst Marvel films. (46:12) This segues into David S Goyer talk and some hot takes on his Batman trilogy with Chris Nolan. (49:44) With the news of James Gunn helming Superman, what are our thoughts on casting, what Gunn will bring to the table and of course talk on the Guardians of the Galaxy and Peacemaker. (56:32)

Episode 426 – Merging Fsociety, Netflix, All Elite Wrestling with Marvel and DC

Mon, 27 Mar 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Obsessive much? Mr Robot has upturned Sean’s world and he had to talk about it. (0:32) What is the latest with Netflix and we provide an actual example that hit Todd. (2:24) This spins off with the streaming wars as we delve into partnerships between companies, mergers, proprietary cases and the times companies have actually worked together: AEW with Impact and NJPW like AEW, and Marvel and DC Comics working together. (13:42) How do you consume your entertainment? Do you sample before you buy and should you? Does buying a digital copy of something actually give you ownership over something? (29:36)

(17:45) We discuss DC’s overhaul with James Gunn and the whole Black Adam and Shazam debacle. (18:56) And not to be left out, Morbius, Venom, and Sony’s Spider-Man related universe are a mess.

This week we talk all about the crap that both Netflix and Dungeons & Dragons pulled and their completely disassociated relationship with their user base. We use references to what is being done compared to hamburgers, Cocoa Puffs, heroin, catsup, digital music, and radar detectors.

Mon, 27 Feb 2023 05:00:00 -0500

We start our chat with talk on coffee, grinders, Grindr (1:36) and then move onto naming conventions for coffee (and other businesses) that use titles like ethically based, 100% organic, and cruelty free. What do they all mean? (7:07) What does the phrase “honest opinion” actually mean?

What is Mr Robot and why is it so terrifying. (16:00) We offer a spoiler free discussion about the show. What does the “&” mean in the film credits of movies and film? We talk showrunners, J Michael Straczynski, and Spider-Man.

(26:38) We talk music and the bands Nick has been in or been involved with like the Video Brats and Futurekids.

Episode 418 – DC Breaking Their Streak? Flash versus MCU Phase 5

Fri, 17 Feb 2023 05:00:00 -0500

This week Karen Bee is back to talk about the Flash trailer in detail. What did we think? (1:49) The DC has been cursed by their actors and Marvel started the same way when a recovering Robert Downey Jr launched their movies. We also chat about the Super Mario movie and Hollywood’s voice castings in their animated films. (22:50) Guardians Of the Galaxy 3 has a new trailer. As possibly the quippiest of the Marvel Studios brand, how does that humor bleed into the rest of the MCU? (27:18) From humor to pacing, we analyze the movies in the MCU that did it right.

Episode 417 – The Reality is I Crave Cruising with Kevin Smith

Mon, 13 Feb 2023 05:00:00 -0500

We welcome Jarett back to the show! We discuss socializing rules in a society post shutdown. What is the new normal? (0:32) How does getting a new driver’s license work in Manitoba work these days and just how long does it take? (12:40) What is graduated driving? Can you use your car’s cameras to help parallel park?

What is Splat and Bone and what drunk purchase did Sean make? (17:00) Crave TV, IPTV, and streaming TV and the little tricks they play they play on you. (20:16) Will the next big release get your butt in the theatre or will you invest more time at home? (35:04)

Tom Cruise is at the top of the box office with Top Maverick, but is the movie as revolutionary as the hype would make it believe? (36:34) Tom Cruise has had a stellar career and went through a phase when people were tired of him. Which movies polarized people for him or against him? (43:59)

Ben Stiller who parodied Tom so expertly directed and wrote Reality Bites, a 90’s movie that tried to find the pulse of that generation and came with a killer soundtrack. (56:16) Movies such as Empire Records, Threesome and Almost Famous also came at that time. Jason Lee who played a role in the film got his start with the Kevin Smith film Chasing Amy. Soundtracks overshadowed Scores by composers but the ones like Harold Faltermeyer found a way to thrive. (1:13:32) And what about Steven Wright, with a key voiceover part in Reservoir Dogs that shone with such brilliance? (1:31:00)

Episode 416 – We Insure We Drew No Rust on Meeno

Mon, 06 Feb 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Sean and Todd are back together in the studio! And what are we hitting on today? Alec Baldwin is being charged in the on-set death from his movie Rust (1:05). We offer our unprofessional opinion on the story. We talk about the Crow and Brandon Lee’s death (7:31). We dip into the death of Jon-Erik Hexum and reminisce on the show Voyageurs and its star Meeno Peluce and the connection to Ronnie James Dio (19:46). What about insurance on movie sets (27:58)? Just what does that cover and what is it for? Brandon Lee’s death required a whole bunch of work in post to save the film: just what did they have to do (30:36)?

Voyageurs awakened the imagination of many kids in the 80’s: What was this show and whatever happened to Meeno Peluce (32:48)? What were your favorite child actors of that era? (37:44) We talk about ET and it’s impact on films, ensemble casts and Drew Barrymore (42:30). We reminisce about the show Buck Rogers and compare the acting to it to the film was in (48:52).

Mego Toys made the coolest toys in the 70’s. From Star Trek to Planet Of The Apes and various others, they were the top toy maker when we grew up (1:07:07). Others shows that captured our imagination was The Man From Atlantis (1:13:32). Does anyone remember BJ and The Bear (1:16:59) ? What this the inspiration for Trunk Monkey? (1:19:04)

Special shout out to Nicholas Friesen, Ryan Murphy, Brian Cook from WHY, James Beaver, and Eric Senich, and let’s not forget about our own Karen Bee.

Episode 413 – The State of Parenting Your Raging Boss

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Todd and Sean try and fail at Scottish accents in an ode to the Rage Rage Podcast (0:22), sliding into their own accents from the Canadian East Coast and Wynston’s cat claws (4:32). Sean had a bad parenting moment involving the game Dying Light (10:56). The boys discuss Zombie games and fly into a chat about the game State of Decay, and how NOT to last 100 days in the game (18:54). We circle back around to the main event: stealing a topic from the Rage Rage Podcast: Bosses (30:24). We discuss managers without training, using fear to reign people in, bad examples of discipline, training versus experience, and using learning to fix a toilet with becoming a good manager.

Danny Roy is back to talk about social media presence for musicians and why it works differently than personal social media (0:48). Where can we find Danny’s work and why much of it is not online. We talk home studios, future projects, and we go back to Brenda’s collection, dad’s record collection, our “breaking” episodes and Sam Thompson.

We finish the show with a chat about backing tracks and how bad it was at the Motley Crue/Def Leppard stadium tour. (35:12) We talk about improvisation live and how that is what makes live music amazing. And when it doesn’t, in the case of Jon Bon Jovi and Paul Stanley and Lars Ulrich. We discuss the biggest ticket prices.

Tracks we hear this week include:

Episode 408 – Let It Joe, Let It Joe, Vai Never Bothered Me Anyway

Mon, 19 Dec 2022 05:00:00 -0500

This week we discuss Sean’s experience at Disney On Ice and how it compares to Joe Satriani and Steve Vai (15:09). Todd’s mixes up Little Mermaid with Aquaman, how Beauty and The Beast created a zeitgeist, Olaf is the Beatles to kids, comparing Let it Go to Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing, Idina Menzel’s voice is as great Joe Satriani guitar skills, Kristen Bell is a dynamo, Gaston is a dangerous character, and did the pandemic help Disney.

We discuss buildings being named after advertisers (53:14). When the Winnipeg Jets came back to Winnipeg as an NHL team, the building they played in was called the MTS Centre. Now, years later, it is called the Canada Life Centre. We discuss the confusion of buildings being renamed over and over and whether people actually use the building’s new name. Advertising is stuck in everything, digitized on television by region, and paying bills. Should advertising be used when a customer has already paid full price for an event, a show, or a movie? Why are we bombarded by ads, and shouldn’t we be excluded if we paid full price for an event, concert or movie? Is there a danger in all of these ads and should they be regulated?

Episode 407 – Legacy, History and Pill Bottles

Mon, 12 Dec 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Sam is back for Part Two of our conversation recording on the week of his 10th anniversary. Back to the topic board, Todd brings on Why are instructions on bottles so small? We gripe, complain and analyze the reasons behind it and blend that into medication ads on television.

We discuss Sean and Todd’s hometown of Shediac and it’s evolution, from small town to commercial hub. We talk about remembering the past, history and archiving what came before. How has technology changed how we remember things and just how easy is it now to archive everything? We discuss Winnipeg and the music scene and its deep history and legacy.

Episode 406 – Which Police Did Yngwie Sell His Muppet Too

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Witchpolice Radio just turned 10 years old. We bring on its host Sam Thompson to pull a topic from out board. Pop stars have been plucking rock musicians to beef up their live sound and to add some edge to their live shows. Is it selling out for these musicians to take a break from their bands to perform for thousands of fans who have no idea who they are? We cover Fish of Fishbone performing with Justin Timberlake, Nuno Bettencourt from Extreme performing for Rihanna, Chris Shiflett from No Use For A Name performing with Foo Fighters, and Eddie Van Halen playing on Michael Jackson’s Beat It. The convo also covers artists who never would do the deed and a talk of bands who have replaced key members and still continue to tour like Kiss and the Guess Who.

We also talk about Bert and Ernie, Yngwie Malmsteen and the Muppets, Sesame Street Fever, toys and collectibles and just how cutting-edge Stan Lee from Marvel was.

Episode 405 – Breaking Todd… the music that molded FastFret

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Which hammer broke Todd musically. Todd discusses car rides with dad listening to the Sultans of Swing (3:28), discovering records from aunt Brenda and cousin Randy, discovering David Brun’s record collection and the Downchild Blues Band (13:04), learning all about harmonies from The Eagles (17:52), the importance of finding Much Music and hearing Triumph (27:22), finding indie band Flyte (34:00), and then of course, being introduced to Van Halen (40:00). Van Halen for Todd started a whole lifetime of building guitars to find his ultimate setup. His mind expanded with an introduction to Steve Vai’s music and his bit in Crossroads (49:52), and hearing ZZTop and Lynyrd Skynyrd for the first time (1:01:17).

Episode 404 – Your Car was Broken Into by the Blue Tick

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Ever had some bad customer service? Has corporate ever pulled some shenanigans on a retailer? Todd and Sean share some of their woes with stories on St John’s Music and HMV. This brings into focus not just those two chains, but we also talk a little Skinnerbox and King Django, WH Smith and Smithbooks. Does your coffee thermos keep your coffee too hot?

Elon Musk part two, as we discuss that darn blue tick mark on people’s twitter profiles, Stephen King’s beef with Elon Musk, and how Sean may not be the original SeanGeek.

Has your car ever been broken into? You have footage of the thief who broke into your car, and you post it on social media. What happens next?

Episode 401 – When Chadwick Ginther Comes Looking for You

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 05:00:00 -0500

It has been 10 years since the Thunder Road novel came out and Chadwick is back with a new book set in the Thunder Road world, gathering 10 short stories set in the Thunder Road world. We discuss how this came about, writing stories not from Ted Callan’s perspective, the music of the book and its influence, reading it separate from the trilogy, and additional characters from the trilogy. We also tap into Graveyard Mind, the first book in another series by Chadwick, how it would work in a gaming setting and the future of the series. We discuss the Savage Worlds Gaming System, Microscope Game, and Clare C Marshall’s YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/c/ClareMarshall

The book launched at McNally Robinson in Winnipeg. You can listen to the whole thing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdlvyvFUWLU

We also discuss comic books: scripting for comics, artists, different writing styles, and Marvel Comics.

Check up on all things Chadwick over at his website: https://chadwickginther.com/

McNally Robinson is the premiere bookseller in Canada and where you should support your favourite authors. You can visit them here: https://www.mcnallyrobinson.com/

And finally, Chadwick’s publisher is Ravenstone Press (an imprint of Turnstone Press): https://www.turnstonepress.com/books/ravenstone.html

We play several music clips throughout the episode. Music is a key component of Chadwick’s writing. Because I want you to go find the music that inspires his series, here are some of the key songs of Thunder Road.

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Come take a listen to some music broke boundaries.

Subbacultcha – The Pixies

Episode 398 – Everybody Loves a Sound Wave

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Todd is away for the next couple of episodes. He will be back in time for episode 400! This week, Sean delves into the movie that broke him, Pump Up the Volume. Inspired by Eric Senich’s episode (see show notes below for more info), Sean breaks down the movie that changed the music he listened to. Pump Up The Volume was deeply influential musically, thematically, and philosophically and was one of the lynchpins to Leonard Cohen’s emergence as an artist for a younger generation. But it doesn’t stop there, it also brought forward The Pixies and Soundgarden! From the movie that essentially invented the Podcast, let’s hear the movie and listen to some of its songs.

The film is NOT available for proper purchase BUT you can watch it here: https://archive.org/details/pump_up_the_volume_1990

Featured Songs this episode:

Everybody Knows – Concrete Blonde

If It Be Your Will – Leonard Cohen

Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf) – The Pixies

Heretic – Soundgarden

Why Can’t I Fall In Love – Ivan Neville

Mon, 26 Sep 2022 05:00:00 -0500

We love Rush on this show, but we wanted to prove that Canada produces some of the best and freshest rock that isn’t Rush. With special guest Corey and Mark from And The Podcast Will Rock, Sean, Todd and Corey have tabulated a list of great Canadian songs from some great Canadian bands to expose the sole American on the panel Mark to. Quickly and handily this goes off the rails (to the curmudgeons in the audience, bite this), with discussions on Canada, Bob and Doug, bouffants and housecoats, A-Ha, the Charismatic Voice, and the Canadian David Lee Roth.

In Part One, we cover this list of greats:

Triumph – Lay It On the Line

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCWj8Nz5DUg

Devin Townsend – Addicted

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCakibHJo94

Sean and Karen cover Disney’s D23. They cover the Mandalorian, Tales of the Jedi and other Star Wars stuff. Harrison Round and Short Round reunited. Werewolf By Night opens up and connects so much of the MCU. Just how is it going to do that? We break down our theories. We talk Little Mermaid, and some of the other live action Disney movies. Karen hits on the common reoccurring error in these re-creations of the animated classics. Which one worked for each of them? The sequel Disenchanted. Indiana Jones 5. Can this one redeem the franchise and end it on a good note? Thunderbolts and Captain America 4 and how we think they tie into it, what we hoped to see. We talk Andor, Mufasa, Inside Out 2, Percy Jackson, Willow. We dive into Secret Invasion. Daredevil, Fantastic Four, Henry Cavill, Marvel Games, and Michelle Yeoh. How many streaming services do you use?

Mon, 29 Aug 2022 05:00:00 -0500

(0:22) Karen is now a married woman! She shares some stories of her destination wedding in Hawaii, including the ocean, some customs, and flying to the US. (8:56) We dive into Ms Marvel and explains how Marvel Phase 4 IS working and why. We talk Disney’s contracts with their talent and how that ties to the Ezra Miller incidents. Is Ezra the new Robert Downey Jr.? We also talk Prey and Jordan Peele’s Nope.

(33:52) Here is the main event! We have all had time to digest what happened at the Marvel Studios panel at San Diego Comic Con 2022. Just where is everything going with the rest of Phase 4, and we speculate just exactly where Phase 5 and 6 are actually going outside the obvious. We talk Namor, Dr Doom, Kang, Rick Jones (yes we do), who is invading in Secret Invasion (psst, it isn’t Skrulls), do we need Tony Stark back, how the Negative Zone could be the place that joins Phase 5, how vampires will work their way in, Union Jack and Captain Britain. We also cover Severance from Apple TV.

We mentioned 204Comics and you can find them here: https://204comics.com/

Mon, 15 Aug 2022 05:00:00 -0500

(0:23) The boys talk fave podcasts, podcast apps, and the Podcast hosts that intimidate Sean.

(11:10) Posted on Mitch Lafon’s Facebook page, Brian Greenway from April Wine dropped a bomb. We discuss what he said and offer our own opinions on the statement. What controversial thing did their guitarist/vocalist Brian Greenway say. Is it songwriting to use someone else’s samples, riffs, fills, or runs in your songwriting?

(35:02) How did we do in And The Podcast Will Rock Poll? Who is coming back on their show in August? We talk Van Halen, Eric Senich and Kelsey Van Halen and having our faces melted off.

(43:31) What happened on our trip to Edmonton? And just why was this trip important? Here is a little insight into what is happening with our family and some of our struggles we are going through. What was it like not having a phone for a week? We talk cell phones and blocked reception in certain places. And just what happens when two parents get separated from each other in one of the largest malls in the world with one cell phone between them?

(1:00:43) Cable TV brings lots of swap shops, junk collectors, and collectible shops with it. What do we think about these types of shows?

Episode 389 – Wolverine, Your Virtual Tobacco in 3D

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 05:00:00 -0500

FastFret is back! And we open with a new purchase Todd made: VR Oculus Goggles! (1:20) And as always, there is story behind the purchase. We talk all about VR and Viewfinders. The discussion goes into the advent of new technologies, like personal computers, holograms, and how that rings in to the future of Virtual Reality. And what does this have to do with Fried Clams?

(23:01) When did tobacco enter into ratings for movies and video games? We discuss tobacco ads on TV and in print, and how it is viewed in mainstream medias. And how has it affected Wolverine as a character? We give some history into the character, his origins, and just who was he based on (hint: it was both Clint Eastwood and Paul Damato) and why he stopped smoking and drinking. We explain his healing factor, adamantium poisoning, Old Man Logan, personal hygiene, his height and appearance, body hair, love life, being Canadian, John Byrne, first appearance, the X-Men. We also dive into the Marvel Method, storytelling techniques on the comics page and VR. We also discuss the current wave of audiobooks.

(57:36) What happened to 3D? Are 3D TV’s still a thing. We talk 3D, fake Imax, 4K, 8K, and Avatar. And how does Avatar, food, and coffee apply to the cross platform debate? Whatever happened to that customer that wanted a Starbucks specialty coffee from a regular coffee shop? And we end things on Beatniks and Hipsters.

Episode 388 – Metal For Breakfast

Mon, 01 Aug 2022 05:00:00 -0500

We talked about this quite some time ago and we are back with another metal episode. Still solo, folks, but that will be rectified very soon. SeanGeek takes a walk down memory lane to his first true introduction to metal. Metal For Breakfast, released in 1984 on Attic Records was my gateway. Let’s take a listen, track by track to this classic defining album that opened the metal doors to me.

Here is a nice breakdown of the album here including credits and all that stuff: https://www.discogs.com/release/2914107-Various-Metal-For-Breakfast

And here is the actual commercial for the album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfKxkIaA22I

Episode 387 – Wham, Bam, Covid Spam

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Solo episode, and with good reason! Todd’s Birthday gift is the arrival of his daughter and their family (including his granddaughter). I discuss “Covid fog” and lost focus during the pandemic. How did Darrell Dwarf Millar get me over my fog? And in the same breath, how about some Leigh Bargugo? Whatchanges have happened in the studio, and what is happening with releases of some material from SeanGeek and FastFret?

What constitutes spam? We read through one true spam email that came straight to my junk folder. And what about other types of spam? We talk ads and recommendations on Instagram and Facebook feeds. Are these spam? Which ones are in your feeds? We give one great example of true spam, why it is spam, and what trash really looks like. And why is the code of conduct on Facebook that much different than Twitter. I won’t spoil who I am talking about, you will have to tune in to find out!

Keep listening to the end of the episode for a new musical clip from Geek Boy and Fast Freddie.

Special shoutout to Karen and her now hubby for getting hitched!

And special shoutout to Romulo and his amazing art! https://www.instagram.com/romulobarva_art/

Episode 385 – Obi Wan Clonobi

Mon, 11 Jul 2022 05:00:00 -0500

We have Karen back and we cover a hell of a lot of Star Wars. Obi Wan Kenobi is complete and we have watched it all. How was the series? We talk Ewan’s performance, continuity, aging, whether there will be a reworking of Episode 4 to make things fit, Star Wars Rebels, Kathleen Kennedy and Kevin Feige, and Dave Feloni. We talk rewatches. Sean has finally completed watching the Clone Wars and wants to talk all about it. We hit on some of the big points of the series, what it does for the prequels, Anakin’s character arc into Darth Vader, Dooku. What is coming up for Star Wars and which big name directors are attached.

Mon, 06 Jun 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Live from Keycon. With special guests CoreyGeek (from Geekspin) and Googly Doc (from Creative Conundrums). We start with the opening question: Is it too soon to go back to playing the board game Pandemic. What makes a supervillain? Where is that Kraken sponsorship and what are the best times to hashtag Kraken? Who was Doc rooming with? Who was wearing pants? What happened to facial expressions during the pandemic? Where do Keyconners eat? Wayne Gretzky Red Casket Rye?? The new marketing pitch to Ryan Reynolds and his gin? Virtual tabletop gaming: who is doing it?

We end the episode on the McCauley Culkin Versus game.

Episode 379 – Keycon 2022, Bullet, Bubble, Phone and Starbucks

Mon, 30 May 2022 05:00:00 -0500

On the road to Keycon. We do our regular on route to Keycon, mid Keycon and Post Keycon overview of the Con. What are we looking forward to? We talk all about what is going on with the Bulletboys now, the negative comment we received from a “fan”, and how they recovered their career. What is happening to the Hudson Bay building in Winnipeg? Do they still make phonebooks? Do you like Starbucks? How about some Winnipeg history? Do you know Doc?

Bob and James are some of our longtime gaming friends. Bob shares his dangerous and potentially fatal bubble chamber story (mad scientist anyone?). And why exactly did Sean leave the Panel and the Con in a rush?

How was Keycon? On the drive home, on the road, we review Keycon 2022.

Episode 378 – She-Hulk and The Multiverse of Podcast

Tue, 24 May 2022 05:00:00 -0500

We talk Clone Wars and Star Wars talk (Episode 1, Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Rogue One, Solo), The Boys, Ozark, Keycon, Trivia Jeff, Manitoba Moneyshot, just how cool Todd is, the Pandemic board game, why being square is cool, Game Knight, and what is a nerd Manitoba social.

We talk all about She-Hulk and that trailer that released. Is it any good? We watch along and dig into the character’s history, John Byrne’s run on the comic, her ties to Fantastic Four, and Z-level characters.

And we dig deep into Dr Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. We take the movie apart, it’s director Sam Raimi, the plot points, the big reveal, Wanda, the horror elements and the public’s perception of the film. Who did we think was going to be part of the secret group and who actually was? What did we think of each member? How magical is music? How does this tie to Blade and Werewolf By Night? And what about Dormamu and Rintrah? We blend this into Michelle Yeoh and Everything Everywhere All At Once.

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

Mon, 16 May 2022 05:00:00 -0500

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.

Episode 375 – Putting Fire to Podcasts in the Grishaverse

Mon, 09 May 2022 05:00:00 -0500

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.

This week we have Jarett from Comic Factory IV on our show. We talk about Zoom lags, Internet Speeds, cutting Cable, WWE Network, AEW and wrestling (1:05). We cover the flooding that happened in Winnipeg, with underpasses closed, where does the water go, and auguring tree roots (16:12). Jarett brought in the Captain Britain Omnibus. Just why did it take so long and why has this collection been SeanGeek’s golden goose (31:45)? We discuss the history of the Comic Factory IV, comic conventions, media over comic book personalities. (39:35)

(53:00) Recommendations: This week we geek out on Russian Doll, the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard on Court TV, and of course Comic Factory IV.

Episode 370 – The Goodwill of that Shelf Monkey Moon Knight

Mon, 04 Apr 2022 05:00:00 -0500

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/

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.

Episode 368 – The Fett of Vegan Festivals

Mon, 21 Mar 2022 05:00:00 -0500

(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.

Mon, 14 Mar 2022 05:00:00 -0500

(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. You can find the Carmine Appice book here: https://www.amazon.com/Updated-Realistic-Rock-Drum-Method/dp/0897050126

Episode 366 – Strange Switch to Savage Worlds

Mon, 07 Mar 2022 05:00:00 -0500

(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

Fri, 11 Feb 2022 05:00:00 -0500

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

Mon, 07 Feb 2022 05:00:00 -0500

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.

And then we dive into Pink Floyd’s The Wall. Jarett is passionate about the album(s). SeanGeek took his first listen the week of recording. Within the talk, we throw in talk about Tom Waits, Sesame Street Fever, smoked fish, lyrics you won’t sing out loud, Grinder and vinyl.

Episode 353 – Alf Catolico – Monster Maestro of Music

Mon, 13 Dec 2021 05:00:00 -0500

Alf “Alfie” Catolico has been creating musical soundscapes and played and performed in some of the most seminal Winnipeg bands of all time. Just who is Alf? We dig into his beginnings, starting with the Chocolate Bunnies From Hell (2:37), Dirtbeak (4:36), Buttermilk 5 (also known as Wukepopo) (5:52), Transistor Sound & Lighting (6:41), The Rowdymen (9:29), and how this all blended into the band, Volume (10:10).

(13:52) SeanGeek’s first view of Volume was a show that was plastered around town with the subtitle of the Amazing Spider-Band at Ozzie’s/The Zoo. Alfie fills us in on that show and what happened after this show, in terms of marketing, band plan and everything that revolved around the band at this time. (19:28) There is also the story of how the band flew out The band met up with Ray Ellis, original composer on the old Spider-Man cartoon.

(24:33) We talk about why Winnipeg has the best music in all of the world, his work with Janine Gobeille, (34:24) playing at the Planetarium, (35:20) the unreleased album, (37:52) and how Volume gained Matt Budoloski (formerly of Leaderhouse, Vanderveen, Blackout City Kids).

(46:04) Alfie still sports a large degree of Winnipeg pride. He is still a Jets fame, still loves the city, misses the Zoo, and wants to come back. (52:42) We talk Witchpolice Radio and (55:28) 12/21 and Casati.

Episode 352 – Tony From Restrayned: Guitar Slinging and Kiss Kruising

Mon, 06 Dec 2021 05:00:00 -0500

We welcome Tony the Brick from the band Restrayned to the show. What a blast, what a professional, and what an amazing guest. Thanks, Tony!

(6:38) We break into Tony’s musical journey from his earliest band and starting Restrayned. Just how were these albums put together, from writing and recording, and just how special a band Restrayned is. (33:06) The Shout It Out Loudcast may call him curmudgeon, but we call him the Brick. How did Tom and Zeus and their endless ribbing of Tony get under SeanGeek’s skin and make him a fan.

(35:06) Tony talks all the Kiss Kruise. Tony attended along with the alum over at Shout It Loudcast and the great Pooni brothers and he has some stories to tell. (45:59) We talk team Ace and when Ace let Tony down and when SeanGeek was propped up. (50:03) Brent Fitz is a Canadian treasure and proved his worth yet again during the Kruise. And just what great Canadian bands did the show push onto Tony. (55:00) And how great is Brian Adams? Tony will tell you. (55:52) How elusive was Kiss on the cruise and just how great was Queensryche? (58:04) We talk The Charismatic Voice on YouTube and Helloween. (1:04:32) And we finish the show with: Would Tony ever play with Don Dokken?

You can hear Restrayned on your favorite music streaming service but if you really want to support them, throw some shekels the band’s way over at their store:

Episode 351 – The Volume of McNally’s Talented Yogurt

Mon, 29 Nov 2021 05:00:00 -0500

(0:44) Crazy weather patterns have hit British Columbia as we were recording. We talk about the disaster and it’s impact. (2:29) Do you remember BMX and 10-Speeds? We sure do and offer our own stories from back in the day.

(6:38) Alf Catalico, guitar slinger from Volume, Dirtbeak and the Chocolate Bunnies from Hell will be coming up on a future episode. (9:04) Just how interesting and humorous is yogurt… or is that yoghurt, or maybe yogourt. You think you know yog… well however you spell it. We didn’t either. So we muddle through it’s history, the process of making it. Yes, and learn a whole bunch of new words we apparently cannot pronounce. And this is why two New Brunswickers should never be used to explain things. Can you say Fecundity? We sure can’t.

(20:49) Howard Campbell just released his debut novel Talented. Just how hard was it to get this novel into Sean’s hands? Let us tell the tale of the corporate book chain that does not support authors and how a real bookstore chain, McNally Robinson does.

(32:53) We discuss comic book scripts a la Alan Moore, which comics to read in the can, the alternatives to 7-11, (42:12) the show’s new logo, the latest snowfall, and winter driving. Oh yeah, and Todd goes on a rant about politicians using our tax dollars.

You can buy Talented by Howard Campbell at McNally Robinson

Episode 350 – We Threatin Sam Thompson

Mon, 22 Nov 2021 05:00:00 -0500

For our 350^th, we have brought in Sam Thompson from Witchpolice Radio, the godfather of Canadian Podcasts. We had to have the best topic to spring on him and we found it. Jered Eames was a musician who had a plan to become famous. Redubbing himself Jered Threatin as a solo artist in 2015, he launched his career with his first single Living Is Dying. And from here, things just got weirder and weirder. With a Go Daddy account and Internet savvy, he created a hype for himself on social media, using dummy record labels, booking companies and management companies, and bought “Likes” on Facebook.

We delve into the Eames’ transformation in Threatin’, the media circus he created for himself and just what happened when his scheming was uncovered.

Mon, 15 Nov 2021 05:00:00 -0500

(0:32) SeanGeek is back on the road and they are talking gas stations, gas nozzles, gas tanks and the science of pumping gas.

(9:32) If you have a set top box from your cable company, chances are the settings do not match your television. Does your Xbox settings

match the settings of your television? And was the Xbox the original Smart TV?

Mon, 08 Nov 2021 05:00:00 -0500

SeanGeek here running solo this week. To quote Tom Waits, what is he working on in there? It’s all about Worldbuilding! I started Nanowrimo this year with some world building for a joint novel/gaming supplement. I have seen the Morbius trailer and share my thoughts on that and the whole Venom thing with Sony’s own Worldbuilding. How important is Sam Thompson to the podcast world? Check out his episode called Incognito Johnson for a real trip down the rabbit hole in classical music, murder and mayhem.

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 05:00:00 -0500

(1:52) CoreyGeek is back and talking about his own podcast

called Geekspin, some of the people he has had on the show, and just what he

has been up to.

(8:12) Time for a Poll! We review all of the polls we have put up the last couple of weeks, talk about the contributors and their comments, and offer the results.

- (10:04) Mumford and Sons (and somehow we bring up Jared Threatin in the same breath)

- (12:11) Is a Hotdog a Sandwich?

o (13:51) Mumford the Magician from Sesame Street is now the favorite Muppet and also the exact likeness of someone close to SeanGeek is … (16:32)

- (18:30) Which is your favorite coffee and who was fighting over it and how does this tie in to one my new favorite album listens?

- (29:32) Where do you park your butt, on the bed, the couch, and the dinner table? What about a favorite food prep knife? And just what is a “Portuguese knife”?

- (43:19) Fave X-film between Dark Phoenix and New Mutants

o Our fave Wolverine future casting

o (48:32) Our favorite James Bond and the hidden James Bond film

o Fight Club and Ferris Bueller

o (53:23) some interesting 80’s film talk: Cloak and Dagger, The Last Starfighter, TRON, Night of the Comet, the Wraith.

Mon, 25 Oct 2021 05:00:00 -0500

(0:40) Introductions! Karen is with SeanGeek today. As we

catch up, we talk Winnipeg Fringe Festival, Taxidermy, DND Improv, and Charles

Ross’ One Man Star Wars

(17:04) We discuss Suicide Squad in detail, full of

spoilers, segueing into (26:58) the X-Men films. What did we think of Dark

Phoenix? What was right and what went wrong? And just what do we think about

the use of Mystique in the series, using the Wolverine effect to “carry” the

movies. Who was the better Mystique and why? And what would we have fixed to

make the film better?

(58:31) And what about the final X-film? You know, New

Mutants? What did New Mutants get right and why a more personal film really

suited the film?

Here are some of the Fringe related things we talked about:

Mon, 18 Oct 2021 05:00:00 -0500

(2:00) The boys talk sidekicks, rap and Eminem’s Robin.

(4:54) Do you like coffee? We do some investigation into the

top three brands and whether they are Canadian, giving our vote on our favorite.

Somehow that talk blends in with potato chips, bubble gum and caviar. And lots

of candy!

(21:38) Why are there so many different charging cables and

what is the European Union going to do about it? Is Apple getting nervous? This

takes us down a rabbit hole of companies obsoleting their product ON PURPOSE.

We talk video game systems, phones, and proprietary properties.

(39:31) The boys compare and contrast the various charity

supergroups that exploded during the 80’s such as Band Aid, USA for Africa, Northern

Lights and Hear N Aid. We break down each of them, talk about who was involved,

who wrote what and ultimately which was the better representation of music and

which organization handled their funds the best.

(3:36) SeanGeek turns 50. SeanGeek finally put his car back

on the road post pandemic and there is a story to be told. We talk winterizing

your car, the global Celsius versus American Fahrenheit, and rainbow of colors

that make up the different types of windshield wiper fluid.

(19:00) We take some listener questions! This week, we have

a question from Sherrie Sigurdson from Giving Up The Ghost and Michael Petrow

from The Reel Debaters:

What do we think about Mumford and Sons (with an appearance by and some updates on Elly’s dentist trip)
Are hot dogs a sandwich?

(36:27) Do you always take the same spot in your bed, your couch, parking, and dinning table? Are you a creature of habit or do you jump spots?

Episode 342 – Kiss My ***tList

Mon, 04 Oct 2021 05:00:00 -0500

In this episode we file through the first three Kiss Studio

Albums and pick the worst song… or the skipper, from each. Each is peppered

with some Kiss trivia, our personal discoveries of the band, and some rumors

about each.

(13:04) Kiss

(29:12) Hotter Than Hell

(46:00) Dressed To Kill

This episode was spurred on by a rejuvenation into Kiss

spurred on by the Shout It Out Loudcast. Their unequivocal enthusiasm for the

band spurred this idea and brought Danny back for a guest spot on the show.

Thanks, guys!

Danny Roy is a Kiss fan, plays in a cover band called the

Love Guns (as their Gene Simmons) and is also a luthier. You can check out a

Rob Kristjansson is back.

(0:53) You know that decal of that little kid taking a piss on the Ford, Chevy or “insert brand name here” company logo on the back window of people’s trucks was never legally licensed? That image is from the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip created by Bill Watterson. It was never approved, Watterson has never been paid, and companies continue to take advantage of the image to diminish someone else’s brand.

(16:01) We also discuss Canadian sitcoms Kim’s Convenience, Corner Gas, Trailer Park Boys, Schitt’s Creek and continuations of shows with animated follow ups.

(28:09) When we were younger, certain things trended hard in the age before the Internet. We cover some of these worldwide trends: Red Rose Tea miniatures, yo-yos, Rubik’s Cube, Hacky Sacks, and Super Mario.

(43:15) We do Podcast Introductions, our skit where we read your Podcast description in a character voice of our choosing. This week we do up Living Through Extinction and Giving Up The Ghost.

Episode 340 – We Overanalyze Gene’s Bank shot on Paul

Mon, 20 Sep 2021 10:00:00 -0500

We welcome Rob Kristjansson for the first time to the show! This week we are doing a little nostalgia, comparing pronunciations, and getting caught up.

(12:16) Today’s topic centers around recent news between Gene Simmons and David Lee Roth with a sprinkling of Paul Stanley. In brief, Gene made some disparaging comments about Dave that spiraled into multiple news headlines that had Kiss fans talking. What the hell is going on between Gene Simmons and David Lee Roth. We share Gene’s original statement (16:08) and Dave’s response to it, followed by a “statement” by Paul Stanley (26:08). And then Gene apologized (29:57). The question we pose is: who put Gene up to apologize?

This all rolls into Paul Stanley and his vocal struggles (40:32) and we discuss a rather bad performance of Love Gun in Barcelona (43:53). (51:52) We finish off this episode with some “Farewell Tour” talk and how, literally Keith Richards is out of his tree.

(5:43) We start off the show with some talk on Peggy Carter and What If? We introduce today’s topic, Disney+’s Loki and explain why we delayed this episode and what that means to our analysis.

(12:10) We begin with our initial reactions to the show coming, our expectations, and other thoughts, then dive right into (21:12) Episode 1. We comment on the introduction, the characters, and veer off with a big chat about Thor The Dark World and Age of Ultron, the mess with Marvel Comics at the time, and that original casting of Emily Blunt as Black Widow. Then we launch into Episode 2 (1:03:48). Loki’s intelligence really shines through here and provides probably the best sound byte for the entire series.

Be back next week for our conclusion…

(1:08) FastFret Needs a new game to play so we talk World War Z and Left 4 Dead. (And an emergency happens during the introduction – we kept it in). (7:48) We also talk Wrestling and MMA games, including UFC, AEW and WWE. WWE2K16 is broken and SeanGeek explains why. (19:28) We take a peek at the Back 4 Blood trailer and look at Sandbox games, Saints Row, The Division, Conan Exiles, Fallout76, and Elder Scrolls Online.

(26:10) We talk about the Website update (and when Castos can get us up). We talk our show numbers and what the top episodes are.

(30:14) Podcast listening habits over the last few weeks. I offer an apology to the Casts following us that are True Crime (and why SeanGeek can’t listen to them). Why the Kingsmen and John Wick soured SeanGeek, and how misunderstood Keanu Reeves is in Hollywood. Don’t call his “resurgence” a comeback!

(38:34) We talk about some upcoming episodes. We also talk Stefan Richards and his working punch.

(8:56) We discuss the Thunder Road 10^th anniversary. A discussion on Corey Toews and his form of immortality in other people’s works, as well as Corey’s Geekspin Podcast.

(11:12) And here is the main even: Soundtracks. We discuss our favourites that include a discussion on all of the following: The Crow, Top Gun, Pump Up The Volume, Twister, Trent Reznor (social Network, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), and the Pulp Fiction/Reservoir Dogs duo. We discuss the “olden times” when the only way to record was using a tape recorder and what we used ours for as it related to Film and TV. Then we are back to the Soundtracks: Rob’s Going to Japan from Cloverfield, Buffy The Vampire Slayer (and the great Nerf Herder theme). Then we lead into a segment on Weird Al and Ghost, the Masked Singer, and the film Better Off Dead.

(24:20) Mellow Yellow: Butter VS Margarine, how do YOU “butter” up your food?

(35:04) Bueller? Who is the better character from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off: Ferris or Cameron? We talk character, morals, spin-offs and sequels (think Karate Kid and Cobra Kai or was that Fight Club?)

And a congratulations to The Reel Debaters on their 100the episode. (13:04) And a special shout out to Em from Verbal Diorama who just turned 100.

(16:32) This episode we play a game of Versus. We explain the rules to this edition of the game and it’s the point scoring system (no it doesn’t really matter).

(18:00) Best of the Superman songs. It’s a fight between Three Doors Down’s Kryptonite and the Spin Doctors and their Jimmy Olsen’s Blues. They review the videos of each song, the lyrical content, and which video did Michael Shannon’s appear in.

(43:12) We continue the game of Podcast Introductions where we take the description of various Podcasts and read the copy in our best silly voices. This segment we cover Beaver Does Podcasts. (47:06) Michael Does Beaver. (47:39) Todd Does Beaver. (48:12) Sean Does Beaver

1:00) Have you ever had a professional massage? The brothers have and they share their experiences on the massage table. What are the therapeutic effects and why should you go and support professional licensed Massage Therapists? Massage is so much more than a physical fine tuning. (20:04) And what about Reiki? Just how is your body’s energy tied into your physical health? (25:30) And taking it another step further, we talk DDP Yoga.

(28:08) And as far off on the tangent as we get, we tie all this into a dream and get an update on the book series SeanGeek is working on and how this all ties into it.

(33:40) They boys cover the elephant in the room: the sale of the Podiant Podcast Platform to Castos. Many of our group of local podcasters were with Podiant and it has spawned massive debate. The sale accompanied by a system hiccup at the 11^th hour created a lot of talk. Just what were we talking about and what are our real feelings on the matter? This is honest conversation about the impact and effect of such a sale on a group of hardcore independent creators can have.

You can read the press release here: https://castos.com/welcoming-podiant-to-castos/

(51:48) Just who does listen to our show? And just who is listening in Niverville?

(1:07:12) Once upon a time, SeanGeek was a rookie pining for a spot on the Rum Powered Review show in YouTube. We showcase that test video he made, reviewing Kraken Rum. We talk about the show, how times changed and why the show is not on anymore.

(1:12:48) What were you favourite spots on the ALF TV show. And just how horrible a Gordon Shumway can we get away with?

(1:16:16) Xbox Game Pass has unleased the Conan Exiles game and it is glorious! And speaking of the cannibals in Conan, (1:20:51) we also talk about the cannibals in State of Decay 2.
