Parking Lot

Well we’ve made it, the final episode, the final Harry Potter movie. We’ve got a big fight, a broken wand, good versus evil, an evil baby in a train station, and some bad kissing. We watched every single Harry Potter movie and we’re stronger for it. We’re also back with our resident HP expert, Shannon Tigert, to help guide us through this final movie. Drink every time she says, “In the book”.

We’re back with Harry, Ron and Hermione, this time in a tent. We’re joined by very special guest, and resident Harry Potter expert, Shannon Tigert. She keeps us on the straight and narrow as we complete our journey with the Harry Potter series. We laugh, we cry, listen in!

This week Kate is returning from a wilderness adventure, Elise experiences the full spectrum of human emotions while watching Nathan Fielder, and Elliot sits down for the television event of our lifetime (or so he says). Catch up with us, as we go through what we've been doing, watching, and most importantly, feeling. Enjoy! 

She's funny, she's smart, she's a local gal, McGill educated, Second City trained, she sings and writes and acts: the wonderful Ashley Botting. This week we sit down to talk about her start in the Toronto improv scene, her days in the writer's room at shows like CBC's Because News, her experience directing at Second City, and most importantly, her role as Delivery Debbie on the Emmie Award winning show, Odd Squad. We also get her to recommend her favourite Toronto comedy bars, cocktail bars, and icecream parlours. Enjoy! 

From dry shampoo to fruit, we sit down this week to talk about our 10 non-essential essentials. Inspired by the GQ Essentials series, we tell you the brands (and general items) we can't live without. It's not food, it's not water, it's the little things that make our day-to-days better. Enjoy! 

This week: Elliot gets challenged by a pool shark, Elise reunites with high school friends, Kate decides the only way to properly grieve the loss of a loved one is to sit shiva. We also take a deep dive into our PKL newsletter Freespaces and give you a behind the scenes look at how we put together the newsletter, and the journey we’ve taken from the initial concept to where the newsletter is today. Keep your eyes peeled for physical copies for sale, coming soon! Enjoy!

This week we sit down with the funny, talented, and very Tall Boy: Vance Banzo. From his days as a cashier at Safeway, to his comedy troupe Tall Boyz, we discuss his career and inspirations. We find out dinner theatre might be the greatest experience an audience member could ever hope for, and that sometimes comedy is best performed while gently strumming a bass on stage. Enjoy!

Welcome back to another year at Hogwarts! This year we bring you Harry trying to date in an underground coffee shop, young Voldemort, a vat of Gatorade, and most importantly, the love of Elliot’s life, Professor Slughorn. If you ever wished you had been invited to an exclusive dinner for the high school elite, then look no further, this episode is for you.

Here’s the situation this week- we’re back in the studio, we’re Covid free, we went to the beach, we went to a party, all is as it should be in the world. This week we sit down to discuss the famous/infamous doc filmmaker: Michael Moore. From his baseball hats to his leftist agenda, we talk the ethics of documentary filmmaking and the value of entertainment. We had a good time, you might as well…

We're halfway through the year folks, and we thought it was a good time to sit down and check in with where we're at. Are we meeting our goals, is the second half of the year looking good, and most importantly, is Elise drinking enough water? Parking Lot is coming to you, once again, on Zoom, recovering from Covid. Turn down your volume because our excitement levels are hard to contain this week. Enjoy!
