Episode 422 – Wizards of the Neflix – I am Serious
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.
We end the episode with the anti-corporate Serious from our latest release Bros Before Gin – The Kitchen Sink.

Episode 421 – Organically Grinding Out and Hacking Ethics
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.

And we end on the excellent run of Excalibur by Tini Howard. (36:40) How well does Betsy Braddock bear the mantle?

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

Episode 412 – Breaking Social Media with Brenda’s Backing Tracks
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:
Shockwave – Thunderfunk (self titled release) (4:32)
Rocket Robin Hood Theme – Who knows (58:00)

Episode 411 – The Royal Tone of a Blood Spitting Axeman
Danny Roy, cousin, musician and luthier is back! We start this one mid-conversation with a talk about the Arnold workouts (22:00). Then we dive headlong into a chat about guitars and gear (4:05): What happens when something is priced incorrectly in retail; what the difference is between an Epiphone and Gibson and Squires; Gene’s Ax Bass and how spitting blood makes playing difficult. Danny now runs his own guitar shop called Royal Tone Guitar and Services (19:12). We discuss the ins and outs of the business and he shares some stories behind the bench.
Danny offers his views on studios and home studios (31:29). We talk Chris Jericho’s Kuarantine and bedtime recording sessions during the pandemic.
Tracks we hear this week include:
Untitled – Thunderfunk (from their cassette tape release) (17:48)

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

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
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
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 401 – When Chadwick Ginther Comes Looking for You
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.

Episode 399 – The Boundary of Space between the Hook and Culture
In another episode of Music That Broke Me, we move on from Pump Up The Volume and into the harder edge of The Pixies. Trompe Le Monde opened up a whole world of music for me and Less Than Zero and Bright Lights Big City opened up the possibility that I could harness my own voice into my first serious novel. The books and the music brought out PJ Harvey, Beastie Boys, Radiohead, and introduced me to punk rock. Different music was everywhere, including the magazine CMJ Monthly and I took it all in. Come take a listen to some music broke boundaries.
In this episode:
Subbacultcha – The Pixies
Space (I Believe In) – The Pixies
Hook – PJ Harvey
Innercity Boundaries – Freestyle Fellowship
So Wat’cha Want – Beastie Boys

Episode 398 – Everybody Loves a Sound Wave
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

Episode 396 – Canadian Rock – Bouffants, Housecoats, and a Canadian David Lee Roth
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

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.

Is Ezra the new Robert Downey Jr.? We also talk Prey and Jordan Peele’s Nope.

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.

Episode 376 – From Infinite to Infinity – A Tribute to George Perez
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.

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.

Episode 370 – The Goodwill of that Shelf Monkey Moon Knight
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?

We take snow shoveling techniques, warmdowns and segue into (21:12) the Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum podcast.

(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.

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.

Episode 362 – Part Two with Darrell Dwarf Millar
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 Wi…

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).

For our 350th, 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.

Episode 345 – Robin Colored Eminems Charge my Northern Lights
(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.

that make up the different types of windshield wiper fluid.

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

* What do we think about Mumford and Sons (with an appearance by and some updates on Elly’s dentist trip)

Episode 342 – Kiss My ***tList
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.

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.

(3:24) Comparisons to Logan’s Run and the mad dance on the train. They talk about their mothers and we really get inside both of their heads. The Time Loop and we get to see Sif again! There are some great interactions with Mobius and he leans the truth. And we see that moment that Loki and Sylvie fall in love, and just what does that mean.
(16:28) Episode 5 really shows off Loki’s glorious purpose and we get to meet many more variant Lokis. There is so much to see in this episode, and we learn how Classic Loki’s history might teach how the present tense Loki might still be alive.

(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.

In this Podbit, SeanGeek goes 1st Season and records from the car. It’s FastFret’s birthday and he is going to buy him Wolfgang Van Halen’s debut, you know the one everyone has been talking about, the one that was #1 in the world. Just how hard is it finding a copy? Weaving the inability to find a Music CD that is NOT being supported by the industry, in a world where actually owning music seems frowned upon, by businesses being blocked from actually selling music, in new(ish) corporate setting that blocks artists writing THEIR own music. SeanGeek’s story of creating a memory for he and his brother to share teaches a lesson to us all in how and where to secure music and support non-corporately sponsored artists, the story of Mammoth WVH is one we all can learn from.
And yes, Maroon 5, shame on you.

And this brings up, after you have had kids, do your tastes change? Are there certain types of movies and TV that hit you differently, do somethings push you away? Between being dad and being stuck at home, how are my tastes flavoured?
And as a special treat, we tacked on Abby’s favourite song from dad and Uncle FastFret, Dome’s Breakdown, written by Alex, Sean, Todd and Ole.

On The Road Episode! Because you have asked for it, Seanorama is on the road. And to prove how dynamic the show can be in this format, two incidents happen during the Podcast at (8:44) and (13:36).
We provide a Manitoba Podcast Festival update (this was recorded between Day one and Day Two of the Festival) (1:04), when my Manitoba accent kicks in (3:48), and the device I am using at home to record podcasts: the Behringer 302USB (5:20).
What are your September struggles through COVID and back to school? Seanorama covers his own (7:12).

Episode 286 – Take It Off, Threatin’ing Kiss
Today’s episode was recorded from Silver Moon Salon.
(1:00). Because you have asked for it, we provide updates on FastFret’s cat Wynston’s surgery and his recovery.
(5:01) Did you know you can play with a member of Kiss and post those videos online? But can you? Should you? During a recent rabbit hole on YouTube, Phil Proietti came on our radar and we try to analyze who this guy is. Is he really playing with members of Kiss or is this some kind of bamboozle to snag views on his channel? We are asking you the listener to provide some input on this guy, who he is and what level of connection to Kiss that he actually is. Or even better, we’d love to talk to the guy to find out. Is he legit because we really don’t want to be Jared Threatin’d.

Episode 275 – Marvel’s Union Jack
Seanorama’s favorite all time comic book character is Marvel’s Union Jack, a hero with a legacy, with 3 different people donning the famous union jack flag. Always severely under-represented in the comics, the character’s few appearances always straddled the line between grounded stories and the supernatural. I explain away why I was drawn to the character, the retrofitted history of the character, the treasure hunt search for all of his appearances, the blue collar aspect of the character, the script for the comic I wrote, and the various action figures released.

Seanorama and FastFretFingers chat about self checkouts and bagging your own groceries. Does having self checkout save you--- the consumer--- money, or simply put people out of work? How does Costco fit into this with designated cashiers and employees that pack your shopping cart? The second half discusses Ikea, the Swedish phenomenon and their checkout process and their other innovations. And in another bit, the both talk about Canada’s conversion to the Metric system. And finally, Seanorama talks about his impending arrest.
Teases: The boys offer a hint for an upcoming episode about the Mandalorean and Star Wars and a tease for a guest spot on someone else’s shows. And a shoutout to James Beaver (@BeaverDoes) and Roger Boyer (@kojbfilms) for an amazing episode of Beaver Does Movies.
All of this was recorded during a cold spell in Winnipeg. They slip in winter talk, shovelling driveways, and slippery streets.

As always, recorded live and in the raw (sorry about the quality on this one). Seanorama talks history with Spider-Man. What is it about the character that makes him remain so popular almost 60 years later? This brings up talk of bullies and jocks, the relatability of Peter Parker, and the life lessons he gave me. He also talks about Spider-Man on the small and large screen including all its iterations from the 60’s cartoon, to Nicholas Hammond’s live action version, to the 90’s Spider-Man cartoon, leading up to why we were lucky enough to get Sam Raimi’s 2002 Spider-Man.
He also addresses WHY “comic-book” movies like Spider-Man ARE cinema and are so important to the world and WHY they changed the game, probably more so than those other “real” cinematic films.

Now imagine being trapped in a place that is completely unfamiliar, a cave deep in the Earth. You've been abandoned there by your fellow humans and left to die. Your only companion is an ancient, powerful monster with skin of solid rock. Is this monster here to harm you, or could it be your only chance of surviving this place and reaching the surface?”

Season 8, Episode 6- Exit Stage Left David Lee
Seanorama and FastFretFingers talk moon cycles, incorrect accents, then swing into FastFretFingers favorite album of all time. Despite his long-standing love for Van Halen, Rush’s Exit Stage Left gets the win. He explains why the album is so great and other great live concert videos. The boys squeeze in some New Brunswick memories of being a young musician living in the middle of nowhere.
In the second half, the boys talk massages and the car accident on Brady. SeanGeek has T-Shirts. They are sold out of them but they are taking orders. Reach out to us at seanmcginity.ca. They talk Keycon 2020 changes and FastFretFingers predicts 2020 will be the big year for a general upswing.
Then they dive into a retrospective on the runner up band Van Halen. He talks about the unique sound and tone that has never been replicated, the brown sound (later replaced when Eddie changed guitars). They talk about the style of the songs between Van Halen, Van Hagar and Van Cherone and why that sound cha…

They get heavy on the local music scene, the health of it and the health of music venues. They talk about the changes in the laws and how that has changed the makeup of how venues make ends meet. What is the future of the scene and the proliferation of original bands playing tribute shows. What is a Tribute show and what does this mean to the scene?
Breaking news: the future of the Disraeli Dreamers and what is next. What are the economics? They break down attendance of these venues and the state of the music industry. What about bands playing covers in their sets? Do Tribute shows have any original material? They discuss pay scales between cover bands, tribute shows and all original shows. Should a cover band replicate what they are covering to a T or take it another direction? And who was that Ozzy Osborne cover b…

Seanorama and Todd FastFretFingers cover the problem that is public washrooms, from one-ply toilet paper, keeping your hands clean, dispensers, sensors on the sinks, change tables and people who overuse the tp. Seanorama shares an impassioned horror story relating to a bad bathroom and his kids.
Then the boys dip into more horror: McDonalds characters, the IT Movie, the current generation of horror movies, morals in scary films, and how they boys lived in their own horror movie.

Season 7, Episode 22 – Cover Songs, the best and the worst and John 5
What is a cover song? According to Wikipedia:
“In popular music, a cover version, cover song, revival, or simply cover, is a new performance or recording by someone other than the original artist or composer of a previously recorded, commercially released song.
In this episode, Seanorama and FastFretFingers talk about what makes up a cover song, and several instances of great ones and truly horrible ones. The question to ask yourself is this: is Baby Hit Me One More Time as performed by Britney Spears actually a cover of Max Martin’s version?
And we talk about the greatness of John 5!!!
Here is the breakdown of the covers we talk about in the episode. Follow along with us:
Dzeko Feat. Veronica – Heaven The real version
Stars on 54 - If You Could Read My Mind The real version
Now on to some great covers: Here is the original, Led Zeppelin’s Fool In the Rain And Mana’s cover:

SEPT. 04, 2019 05:00 - POD OF THUNDER
A podcast was pulled this week and he explains why. Updated and changed to conform, he still has a few things to say about the music industry, the rules and regulations, and being made guilty out of the gate. Will they take down one of his favorite podcasts, Pod Of Thunder similarly?
He explains why the Pod Of Thunder Podcast is owed a thank you for some of Kiss' resurgence, how the industry should thank them and SeanGeek for what we try to do.
Pump Up The Volume invented Podcasting. It was a movie about pirate radio, yet that message has been lost on its studio. Happy Harry Hardon is still out there shouting "Talk Hard", and to the boys on Pod Of Thunder, continue to be the beam of light in a sea of corporate greed.

The Winnipeg Jarvis fire was a horrible mess and a lot of people lost everything. Scott Devine from the The Devine Shirt Company was one of those people. You can donate here to help him recover from the fire.

Season 7, Episode 19 – Spider-Man No More
Disney and Sony are at odds during their negotiations over the character Spider-Man and the rights to him. What does all the legal wrangling, the posturing, and the “leaks” made to the media mean? No More Spider-Man --- at least in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and more MCU in the Spider-Man films? It could be a thing. Who is right and who is wrong in this negotiation? The brothers spare no expense in their feelings on the controversial headline.
