Hey there, Spoiler Show fans, this week I talked to film buff and general Renaissance Man Brendan Brown about the new film Star Trek Into Darkness. We both had some issues with the film, which provided a great jumping off point for discussion about what everyday life would be like in the Federation, the lackluster roles for women in the new series and more. We also spoil the new movie quite heavily, so be warned. In the second segment, we talked about our upcoming project at Metro Cinema at the Garneau Theatre, Shots to Kill! The Sixties Cinema of Seijun Suzuki. We`re both really excited to let you know about the new film series, which can be found online at http://suzuki.heliotropia.net/. The excellent trailer Brendan`s gotten together can be found at http://vimeo.com/67429851. There were a few technical difficulties in getting this episode together, so please bear with us. Thanks for listening!

Hey everyone, this week I was joined by local filmmaker Simon Glassman, who is the man behind the puppets at FELT UP! The show is a way for Edmontonians to get strange, awkward and hilarious true stories off their chest by means of reenacting them with puppetry. It's a pretty great show, which you can check out online at http://www.bite.ca/show/felt-up/.

Hey there podcast friends, this week we talked about the second entry in our book club series, Isaac Asimov's seminal sci-fi work FOUNDATION! To look at this book, and its wide scope of future history, we were joined by gentleman farmer, scholar, and barber Mark Hayes! Does this classic work of mid-century science fiction still hold up today? How does the writing style of the book influence our readings? Listen and find out!

Hey there Spoiler Show fans, this week marked the return of Mark Hayes to the program, as he discussed adventures he's gotten up to in Cuba on behalf of Solidarity Rock! Solidarity Rock is an organization that helps Cuban citizens get ahold of musical instruments and other supplies that are almost impossible to find in the isolated country. Great stuff! Just a reminder that the Spoiler Show Book Club episode is going to be a little delayed, so if you'd like, keep pushing on ahead through Issac Asimov's FOUNDATION.

Hey there folks, here's an extra-special delayed episode of Spoiler Show! This week, Marcus and I discuss our February Book Club selection, Naomi Novik's HIS MAJESTY'S DRAGON! We know you've all read the book, so massive SPOILERS are to be found throughout. We both really enjoyed reading this book, though and would recommend it to readers. Next month, we are reading Isaac Asimov's seminal work of early science fiction, FOUNDATION! Start your reading engines ... now!

Hey there Spoiler Show fans, this week I flew solo, talking to renaissance man Devin Bruce from the local comics/scotch podcast called, oddly enough, SCOTCH AND COMICS! As you would expect, our conversation steered towards those two delicious topics, but we also found time to opine on the future of digital distribution, the nature of adaptation, and many other things. We also talked at length about February's Book Club outing, and had a very interesting SELL ME ON IT. So enjoy yourself some single Spoiler Show served neat!

Hey there Spoiler Show fans, this week we turned the tables on hometown heroes The Movie Jerks by having them on our show this time! J.P. Fournier and Shawn Gramiak (who appeared via satellite) sat down to talk about how their podcast came about, movies they actually did like watching for a change, and what is it about some films that really get under your skin. In our SELL ME ON IT segment, we feature two wildly different podcasts, a book on horror movies, and more!

Hey there Spoiler Show fans, we're back! In this very special season opener, Marcus and I give you the rundown on what you can expect in the coming weeks from the show, and lay down some guidelines for new listeners. This week also marks the inauguration of the SPOILER SHOW BOOK CLUB, so make sure to listen along for all the details. It's going to be fun! There's also a pretty weird SELL ME ON IT.

Hey there Spoiler Show fans, this is our last episode of 2012, and we decided to end the year with an hour devoted to the most wonderful time of the year, Gift-Buying Time ... I mean Christmas! To celebrate in true Spoiler Show fashion we had on the Batman of Morrissey facts himself, Torrey Dance! Did we find the true meaning of Christmas? There's only one way to find out ... We'll see you all in the new year with fun new Spoiler Show episodes, that promise to be bigger and better than ever before!

Hey folks, Matt here with a supplemental Spoiler Show episode for you. This week, I had the privilege of sitting down on the couch at The Lobby and talking to Kevin Martin, owner and operator of that fine establishment. He's also half of the dynamic duo that run Dedfest, Edmonton's yearly horror film festival and monthly retrospective screenings at the Metro Cinema. We talk at great length about the state of movies these days, how to run a successful video store, things we're looking forward to in genre cinema and the Disney/Lucasfilm merger, among other things. Plus, we've got a (predictably) film heavy SELL ME ON IT to cap off the interview. Check it out!

Hey there! Very special episode for you this week, what with the Apocalypse on the way and all, Marcus and I decided to do a public service announcement concerning all the myriad ways we might snuff it. I ranked 10 of my favorite Apocalypses by their likelihood of happening, and Marcus and I reasoned through them. We also let slip which ones we think are the most entertaining (in theory, always in theory). In our SELL ME ON ITs this week, I bring up a fantastic new novel while Marcus reinvents the way you ingest liquids.

Hey folks, this week Marcus and I talked to Petros Kusmu, who among other things is the current VP External of the Students Union at the University of Alberta! We got an update at what's been going on at the old alma mater, and talked about the habits of highly effective trolls, space, and who at the table is secretly a lizard-person. Combine that with one of the strangest SELL ME ON ITs in recent memory and you've got yourself a podcast, mister.

Hey there folks, here's a new Spoiler Show comin' at you! This week, Marcus and I talked about all kinds of stuff today, from the current state of the Movember project to the release of the new GTA trailer. Speaking of Movember, here's the link to Marcus' Mospace : http://ca.movember.com/mospace/2538046

Hey there folks, another episode of the Spoiler Show coming at you! This week is another supplemental episode, as I was exploring parts unknown this week, but Marcus stepped up to the challenge in my absence. With the return of fan-favorite guest Jeff "Old Man Japan" Turner, Marcus talked about cats, the entirety of human civilization up to this point, the American election, and also cats.
