The Creative Imbalance

Today we are joined with one of the greatest in tennis, fashion icon, and accidental legend in hip hop culture Stan Smith. His brand new documentary "Who Is Stan Smith?" was produced by Lebron James and features iconic figures in sports and music (Pharrell Williams / RUN DMC) talking about his impact that goes way beyond the tennis court. Around winning the US Open and being responsible for the standard design of Adidas shoes, Stan Smith was a humanitarian who changed lives during his tennis tours in countries affected by poverty and war. There are so many layers to his story and in this recorded conversation we take a moment to take a deeper look into the heart and soul of this man.

You know our guest today from his iconic timeless hits "Sugar, Sugar" (Candy Girl), "Be My Baby", "Baby I Love You", and what brings us together today, the 50th anniversary of "Rock Me Gently". He is the one and only Andy Kim! The beautiful thing about this conversation is beyond Andy telling us his origin story into music and how the tracks came to be, he takes a beyond the surface perspective to genuinely talk about life, finding yourself, the importance to embrace the time we have on earth, and truly leaves us with one of our favorite segments we ever recorded.

Today we are joined with the lovely Georgia Lock around her latest movie "Strictly Confidential" by Lionsgate Films. From her past on the Disney Channel to this extra spicy Rated-R drama she gives us her perspective of making the film, the art of dramatic acting, her life as a poet/spoken word artist, a teaser of what is next for her career, and leaves us with advice for any aspiring actors trying to step into the film industry.

Today we are joined with director Kimo Stamboel featuring his new film that is prequel to what was the highest grossing movie in Indonesia! The North American title for this flick is "Dancing Village: The Curse Begins" and it has just hit theatres this weekend. He tells us that ultimate pressures, challenges, and fun he had taking on such a huge task. His dedication to honor the first film "KKN di Desa Penari" while taking the supernatural elements to a grander level. How he made one of the most technically impressive shots we have ever seen, and leaves us with advice for any aspiring filmmakers wanting to step into the industry. Kimo had such a radiant vibe and I hope you enjoy listening to this one as much as we had talking to him.

Today we are joined with Guinness World Record holder and social media superstar Funky Matas. Famously known for his back tattoo of hundreds of celebrity signatures, Funky has captured the eyes of millions on the internet from his hilarious and reckless stunts that reminds us of a Jackass/CKY spirit for the modern era. He is also joining us to tell us about his brand new docuseries titled "WHY?" where he takes controversial deep dives and questions the social norms adapted by society. He says this show will get him into a lot of trouble, and around that tell us a lot of fun stories about celebrity encounters, the stunts he has done, getting tattooed by a monkey, and much more.

Today we are joined with Sam Hugé of Belgium's electronic/dance duo Ultra Sunn. They have just released a brand new album titled "US" that incorporates some familiar sounds of the late 80's and early 90's while incorporating a fresh modern take on the genre. Around hearing about how the group came to be, we dive into the deeper beyond the surface meaning of the bands name. Ultra Sunn is here to illuminate positive energy and bring light into the hearts of the listeners.

Today we get a behind the scenes look into "With Love And A Major Organ" with the star of the film Anna Maguire. This interesting comedic drama has an otherworldly feeling to it's universe that is also connected to reality with layers of metaphors about society and the struggles of human emotion. Around the film we also pick Anna's brain about her long time career wearing many hats in the film industry. From her first role as a kid in "Saving Private Ryan" to currently still acting, writing, producing, and much more. She is a well of knowledge that aspiring filmmakers can learn a lot from.

With Love And A Major Organ is now playing in theatres across Canada.

Today we get a behind the scenes look into the brand new creature feature STING with director Kiah Roache-Turner and young rising star Alyla Browne! What's cool about this horror/comedy is that it takes a nod at some of the greatest action, sci-fi, and horror films of the 80's and 90's. Also we catch Alyla in such an exciting time of her career. Around Sting she was recently in Children of the Corn remake, The Secret Kingdom, and will be co-staring alongside Jim Carrey in Sonic The Hedgehog Part 3 this coming fall. Even though she is still a kid she is a master of her craft, and is full of fun stories such as telling us how she is pals with Sigourney Weaver and was calling her on the set of Sting to channel her inner "Ripley".

Sting is now in theatres everywhere across North America!

Today we are joined with Jason Evans of INGESTED for a very soulful conversation about their new album "The Tide of Death and Fractured Dreams", his connection with the metal community, the cathartic nature of turning life struggles into art, his hilarious personality off stage, and leaves us with advice for any aspiring bands trying to take a step into the music industry.

Today we are joined Chris Monroy who is the front man of one of the leading death metal bands of the modern era "Skeletal Remains". We reflect on his history of being a fan to touring with his idols, their new album "Fragments of the Ageless", talk about the insane amount of muscle memory you need to build to play in this kind of a band, and HOT SAUCE!
