Toronto Zombie Walk

October 17, 2008April 17, 2009 Doug Groves 1 Comment

This Sunday, October 19th marks the 6th annual Toronto Zombie Walk, the one that started it all. As chance would have it, the rgbFilter gang were having a ‘meeting’ at a local pub when the topic came up. Sitting at the next table over was Thea Munster, the creator of the now global phenomenon. We asked her to come by the studio for an interview segment, but what we’ve decided to do is bust out it’s own segment, the first half is what you’re seeing here. Enjoy! The walk starts…

September 3, 2008July 25, 2009 Doug Groves Conventioneers, Fan Expo, FXC 2008, interview4 Comments

Outside the entrance to Fan Expo there was a table, a couple of guys in waistcoats and their crew. They were The Conventioneers, a show found on bitetv.ca that covers conventions of all sorts. A while ago, the irreverent commentators were banned from getting inside. Alex and Ryan ask them why. **Please excuse the audio issues. Our mic was acting up **

Fan Expo: Kevin Eastman Interview

August 27, 2008December 6, 2010 Doug Groves Fan Expo, FXC 2008, Heavy Metal, interview, Kevin Eastman, TMNT6 Comments

As Ryan mentioned before, sat down with Kevin Eastman, co-creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles during Fan Expo. They about leaving Mirage, starting Tundra Press, running Heavy Metal magazine and his disappointment with the second Heavy Metal movie after losing creative control. He also talks about the third movie, which will be an anthology like the first, with animation done by blur.com. David Fincher is executive producer and plans on directing a segment. During the interview, Eastman also mentions directors Zack Snyder, Guillermo Del Toro and Gore Verbinski all want…

Fan Expo: Aaron Douglas Interview

August 26, 2008July 25, 2009 Doug Groves Aaron Douglas, Battlestar, BSG, Fan Expo, FXC 2008, interview4 Comments

Alex talks with Aaron Douglas, who plays Chief on Battlestar Galactica. It starts off as a mutual Ricky Gervais / Stephen Merchant / Karl Pilkington fan chat (Aaron want to work with them, hint hint), then turns to discussions about the announced BSG TV movie being directed by Edward James Olmos and his roles in The Bridge and Blood: A Butcher’s Tale and what it’s like to work on a fully green screened set. NOTE: This is a repost because the earlier version contained an error.

Fan Expo: Rick Green Interview

August 26, 2008July 25, 2009 Doug Groves Fan Expo, FXC 2008, Hoverboy, interview, Rick Green1 Comment

Ryan talks to Rick Green about the hilarious history of Hoverboy, and Doug pops in to find the truth behind the fate of the Prisoners Of Gravity chair. “The chair ended up in our garage after the series ended and I just knew that someday it would be worth something as a collector’s item, but, you know, raccoons pooed all over it and it went in the garbage eventually…” Rick summarized. A sad end to a beloved prop indeed.

Fan Expo: 4 Interviews In 8 Minutes

August 26, 2008August 31, 2015 Doug Groves Buzz Aldrin, Fan Expo, FXC 2008, Henry Winkler, interview, Kate Mulgrew, Wes Craven0 comment

Ryan and Dave spent part of the day Saturday hanging in the Media Room area, and managed to have some brief chats with Wes Craven, Kate Mulgrew, Buzz Aldrin and Henry Winkler, in no particular order. Buzz describing getting the shot of the earth rise is a particular highlight, in the science fact department. NOTE: The end credit in this video is wrong. It’s Ryan on the mic, and Dave (mostly) shooting. He vanished before the Kate Mulgrew interview, so Kate’s assistant Holly deserves a thumbs up for taking over…

Fan Expo: Tobe Hooper Interview

August 25, 2008July 25, 2009 Doug Groves Fan Expo, FXC 2008, interview, Tobe Hooper2 Comments

Dave sits down with legendary director Tobe Hooper, who clears up his inspiration for Texas Chainsaw Massacre (hint: it’s NOT Ed Gein). “It occured to me if I start one up, you know that the people would part like the waters… that’s the true story.” Put that line in context, and you’ll get the point. Beyond that, he also discusses his influences, why torture porn has seen such a rise in popularity, and has a tip for budding film makers.
