So you may have heard of this guy…Scott Pilgrim and he may have to defeat some girl’s 7 ex evil boyfriends?
Yeah, you know the one with the kid from Super bad right?
In this August topic show, we bring you our thoughts and feelings on the Scott Pilgrim franchise from someone who got to experience being in the movie first hand (Pierce is in the movie!) and Laidman and Birdman too! Scott Pilgrim has really put the geek spotlight back on Canada as more then just the lair of Smallville and Battlestar galactica but also home to one of the biggest pop culture phenomena in the last few years with Bryan Lee O’Malley’s fantastic graphic novel series come to life!
The TWIG boys talk about the books and the deeper meaning behind the crazy cast of characters, the film and it’s attempt to cram six books into one feature film shorter then “Inception” and lastly the kick ass video game adaption from Ubisoft (This game makes up for Just Dance, BTW)
Its time to go out and defeat our own 7 evil ex’s and get ready to rock out with Sex-bob-omb!

Toronto opens its warms wide open to welcome to geek community from all across Canada and the US with TORONTO FAN EXPO 2010!
Movies, video games, anime and so much more available to patrons who showed up and endured lines and more this past weekend in Toronto. The TWIG crew grabbed microphones, cameras and hit the con floor with as much force as they could muster to bring you the con experience that was Fan Expo 2010. In this special event coverage, we have a chance to speak with some people like Jim from Udon Comics and famous director Charles Band from Full Moon entertainment and a special preview of the Tron video games from Propaganda games. However what else happened on the con floor to make the TWIG guys so disappointed in this year’s Fan expo? What almost made Birdman walk off the con floor in frustration and why was the fire marshal called and what one disappointed con goer had to say..
All this and more in this special event coverage inside!

Filed under Interviews, Recent Posts
Who doesn’t’ enjoy a good night’s sleep? We all do…but how do your sleep when you know a man in a dirty brown hat and razors for fingers is waiting for you when you close your eyes?
In today’s very special interview, Birdman talks about Freddy Kruger and his legacy to Elm Street with the two of the great people behind…Never Sleep again:The Elm Street legacy!
Producer Thommy Huston and director Dan Farrands talk with Birdman about what it took to make this labor of love comes to life on the screen and what is like to bring together the Dream Warriors of Elm Street to speak about their experiences! The Elm street documentary crams over 4 hours of documentary and HOURS of bonus material into one great DVD package that is narrated by Heather Langkenkamp herself aka Nancy from Nightmare 1,3 and Wes Craven’s New Nightmare.
Birdman was right in his element talking with two of the masters of horror who also gave us “His name was Jason” and its one interview you cannot afford to miss if you’ve ever wanted to visit the world of horror movie slashes and those who stand against the villains of our nightmares
Now buy this DVD….or else 1,2,…Freddy’s coming for YOU!
