Greetings, programs and welcome to a special bonus episode of the Awesome Friday Podcast. In our main episode this week, we asked over fifty of our friends to contribute their top ten Marvel Cinematic Universe entries and used those to establish a consensus top ten.We also asked everyone if they would be willing to record a short audio clip about their favourite with the intent of sprinkling those into the show. Well, we didn’t get one from everyone, but we did get a level of response that made that plan a little untenable. So we used them to build this special bonus episode.We’d very much like to thank everyone who contributed to the project and to this episode specifically. It has been a lot of fun and really rewarding to see our community come together.We’re going to start with Simon, and I speaking about our number one Marvel movies from our recent episode and then jump right into our friends speaking about theirs. We hope you enjoy it.THIS EPISODE FEATURES: Austin Belzer, AustinBMedia Brian Skutle, Sonic Cinema Craig McKenzie, KneelBeforBlog.co.uk Dakota Arsenault, Contra Zoom Pod Don Shanahan, 25 Years Later Jay Cluitt, Life vs Film, Deep Blue Sea The Podcast, The LAMB Jeff Bulmer, Classic Movies Live!

Greetings, programs, and welcome to our first anniversary! It's hard to believe we relaunched the podcast a year ago to the day, but here we are a year later. We are so grateful for all of you, for your listening and engagement, and for the community that we're starting to build. It's fitting that this week saw the release of two new Marvel Cinematic Universe entries because that's how the show began. Last year we covered the Disney+ series Loki and the film Black Widow. We decided to make an event of it, so this is a super-sized episode. Not only do we discuss the new Disney+ series Ms Marvel and the new film Thor: Love & Thunder, but we also break down both Simon and my MCU top ten lists, and then we asked over fifty of our friends to contribute to a consensus top ten list. That's right, the top ten MCU entries as decided by over fifty people.Visit this episode's homepage for streaming links powered by JustWatch for both of the new entries we discussed, a breakdown of the methodology used to determine the consensus top ten, anda. complete list of the more than fifty friends who contributed their own top ten lists. There is also a list of over 30 podcast networks you can find us on: https://awesomefriday.ca/2022/07/podcast-marvel-extravaganza/A bonus episode is also coming soon, featuring audio clips from some of our friends detailing their favourite MCU films; look for that shortly. Join us!There will also be a bonus episode coming soon with audio clips from our friends about their favourite MCU entries.

It’s back! New year craziness and some technical issues brought the game podcast to a halt, and life found a way (to get in the way), but it finally feels like a good time to restart!You’ll notice that the games podcast is going to have shorter episodes from now on, both to help make it fit into my schedule, and also because I’m only going to talk about one game at a time. However, it’s now fully scripted, so you can read along if you please! Bonus article!This week, I’m trying to put into words the greatness of a new music-based block matching game called ‘Red White Yellow Cruising’ on the Nintendo Switch.

Salutations applications, and welcome to an Awesome Friday Interview with actor Shawn Doyle! A native of Newfoundland, Shawn has been working steadily in film and television since the early 1990s, and in just the last few years has racked up an impressive filmography that includes recurring appearances in The Expanse, Hannibal, Cardinal (for which he won a Canadian Screen Award last year) and most recently Star Trek: Discovery. This year he has two films in the Canadian Film Festival, Ashgrove and The Last Mark. It's the former of these two that we sat down to talk about, and it was a genuine pleasure. And yes, because I am huge nerd, I also asked a few questions about his time on Star Trek Discovery. There are streaming links for the movie as well as all of our other content on this episode's homepage. Meanwhile, relax and enjoy your flight. CONNECT WITH US:Homepage: https://awesomefriday.caTwitter: https://twitter.com/awesomefridaycaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AwesomeFridayInstagram: https://instagram.com/awesomefridayca/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJbgpYeyK4b_JH7H8P8INKAEmail: https://awesomefriday.ca/contact-us/SUPPORTPatreon: http://patreon.com/mcsimpsonKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/matthewsimpson

Greetings programs! Katie Boland is a Canadian actor, writer, director, and producer. She is probably best known for her television appearances and the web series she created, Long Story Short. However, this year, Katie made her feature film directorial debut with We’re All In This Together, a story about a dysfunctional family brought together by absurd events. Not only is she the film’s director, though, but she also adapted it from the best selling book, produced it, and starred in it as estranged twins. A few weeks ago, Katie and I sat down after the Whistler Film Festival –where the film premiered– to talk about the film, which is now playing as part of the Canadian Film Festival. Streaming links, as well as an embedded player and links to other podcast platforms, are available on this episode's homepage. CONNECT WITH US:Homepage: https://awesomefriday.caTwitter: https://twitter.com/awesomefridaycaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AwesomeFridayInstagram: https://instagram.com/awesomefridayca/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJbgpYeyK4b_JH7H8P8INKAEmail: https://awesomefriday.ca/contact-us/SUPPORTPatreon: http://patreon.com/mcsimpsonKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/matthewsimpson
