Thanks to Eric Skiff for our intro & outro

CinemaSlice.com and The Farsighted Network present… the debut of the new and improved SLICECAST

On this inaugural episode, Justin talks to indie filmmaker Tonia Carrier as part of Women in Horror Month, whose latest feature Bailiwick is a fringe fantasy drama with horror elements. She’s got more horror in the works, too. Fans of other genres will love her offbeat comedy Selling Stupid, as well.

The audio isn’t great, so please bear with us as we figure out some of the logistics on this new endeavor. Tonia is a delight to hear, however… so that should more than make up for it.

Check our some of her projects and links below:

And check out Jeff Schrems on Bandcamp!

The tracks featured here are “Bath Tub Mary” and “Monster in Me”. The latter was written for Bailiwick and the music video was directed by Tonia.

See you again later this month with more movie talk and more great tunes!

There is quite the variety of opinions and feelings on Christmas/Holiday music. Some people love it all year round while others refuse to listen until December…some just hate it all together. There are those who love the traditional carols and hate the modern songs and there are those who prefer the “classics” they grew up with. I’m definitely in that latter group.

Growing up, my parents had a handful of Christmas records… including a couple I didn’t associate specifically with the Holiday and would listen to throughout the year. In the 90s some of my favorite Christian rock artists put out some more modern takes on the carols and classics of the… and I enjoyed some of them. But this mixtape focuses on the classics… those I grew up with and some I’ve discovered in more recent years. Everything I’ve included comes from my vinyl collection… in fact you can hear the pops and crackle of those old scratched records…and most of it predates the 80s (with a couple exceptions…but one of them is a retro sounding cover of a classic from the 60s and the other was written and performed to intentionally sound like oldies rock and roll).

Things start off with an epic Hammond Organ romp by jazz organist Jimmy Smith. In recent years, I’ve come to really appreciate jazz for Christmas… although I don’t really listen to it at any other time. I think it all started when I purchased the soundtrack to A Charlie Brown Christmas (sadly missing from my vinyl collection and so not represented here in this mixtape) on CD several years back. There was just something about Vince Guaraldi’s piano tinkling and the way the trio took on those holiday tunes that made me want to pursue more of that kind of jazzy seasonal bliss. So over a few years, I ebayed some Christmas Jazz compilations as well as albums by artists like Smith and the Ramsey Lewis Trio.

Something else I only listen to at Christmas time, is the classic crooners/big band singers. It seems to me that the one thing their voices and styles are best suited for, is belting out the traditional hymns and especially their suave treatment of the 20th Century holiday songs that have become standards over the years. But I did try to stay away from the songs we most typica

Hey everyone, one of our favorite events of the year is this weekend and I had the chance to catch up with Madeleine to talk about it! It’s the second annual Philadelphia Unnamed Film Festival (aka Now That’s What I Call a Film Festival… a tidbit I “learned” on I Like to Movie Movie today. Madeleine is one of the founders and she used to write for Fangoria, I could tell you lots more about her, but mostly, she’s just cool people. This is playing on all of our feeds (other than the one for upcoming kids podcast, because it’s not a kid friendly chat) and is the first of hopefully more bonus episodes that will do so. We hope you enjoy listening to our wonderful and talented friend.

Looks like for the second year, my lame ass may not get down there physically, but don’t let that stop you. You can be far less lame than me and get to Philly this weekend (I’m still trying to un-lame-ify myself and get there for a day, but our very own Garrett will be there all fucking weekend y’all).
