Quality Control Chicks

Better late than never!While we’re still operating under our Summer Slowdown, we promised we would still put out our special Madame Web episode!

We decided to take a deep dive into the movie as a whole, so, basically, we watched it so you don’t have to.

Ever wonder where your favourite movies and TV shows are filmed? Ever notice how sometimes New York doesn’t quite look like New York?

In this week’s episode, we review various film and TV examples where you can notice certain details that hint to filming locations being different to the intended story location.

Do you notice things like this?

Audio note: We meant to refer to the Scotiabank Arena as the Rogers Centre. We noted the issue with text visually but know that we caught our mistake in post.

As always, listen to find out out QC levels breakdown at the end!

Another important side to the film and television industry is physical media! We love it, and it includes things such as: DVDs, BluRay, VHS, posters, merch… etc.

We cover everything from Amanda Bynes’ weird thumb to AI generated poster mistakes. Yet again, we ended up creating many cursed images so make sure you keep your eyes peeled for those.

A special shoutout to Dayna, Janae’s sister, for the special “Bet On It” footage.

Being a background actor isn’t as easy as one might think. There’s still marks to hit, cameras to avoid staring into and world building to upkeep. So, what happens when someone in the background ruins a take that ends up in the final project? Or does something to steal the scene??

We’re going to go over some smaller examples and then highlight an individual who has made a career out of being a background actor!

Also Lisa used to do background work so listen for some bts stories of what it’s like to do this for a job.

This week, we welcome our first guests, Sabina Lambert and Marley Kajan! We chat with them about the trials and tribulations of creating a small budget web series, “Like Comment Subscribe”!

We cover everything from a bit of pre-production, production and post-production as well as the importance of catching QC before distribution.

Have you ever been watching favourite movie or tv show, looked closely and thought… WHO IS THAT?

Well, it’s probably a body double!

We breakdown and analyze some different uses of body doubles as well as some examples of times when you can tell when an actor/body double swap out was made.

We’re back to wrap up our coverage of the Scream franchise with the topic of rewrites and how it affects a film as it’s still being shot. Just in time for it’s 25 year anniversary!

We also discuss the impact of a deleted scene still being referenced in a film and it’s merch but never seen. We are, of course, talking about the giant octopus that never saw the light of day in The Goonies!
