Hey all! In case you haven’t got Smithee.TV bookmarked, we thought we’d just leave this awesome little chat we had with Lauren Lee Smith right here for your enjoyment! She’s so much fun, hopefully we can convince her to come back!

Lost Girl S03E04 – Fae-de to Black
First off… Poor Kenzi (Ksenia Solo). She gets the worst of it this episode, as she keeps trying to tell people about the infection/wound on her arm, but no one seems to have time for her. And then the episode’s ending! I thought it was especially cold when Trick (Rick Howland) says that everyone…
Iron Sky (2012) – Timo Vuorensola
I remember first hearing about this film when it was just a fun little trailer on YouTube. It just looked so terribly goofy, and yet the computer generated effects looked pretty damned good. And how does this not sound like B-movie goodness… Nazis on the moon with flying saucers?!?! It practically writes itself! This would…
The Perils of Pauline (1914) – Louis J. Gasnier & Donald MacKenzie
The serial. Without it, we wouldn’t have films like Star Wars or Raiders of the Lost Ark, which are filled with call backs to the serials of yesteryear. The 101 Action Movies brought me one of the first, The Perils of Pauline. Unfortunately, the entire serial no longer exists. It was apparently composed of 20…
Catching up with Ali Liebert
Back when Sue and I were so lucky to visit the Bomb Girls set (man that was a fantastic day!), we were also lucky enough to be able to chat with some of the cast who were around that day. We were introduced to the amazing Ali Liebert, who we had only spoken with…
Bomb Girls S02E04 – Guests of Honour
One of the best shows on television continues to call it like it is, refusing to pull their punches, making sure that the characters that inhabit this recreation of 1940s Toronto are suitable reflections of real-life. There is no good guy or bad guy, they are all painted in shades of grey, and we…
Solaris (1972) – Andrey Tarkovskiy
Often referred to as Russia’s answer to Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, this entry on the 101 Sci-Fi Movies list is given the short shrift with such a comparison. Yes, they are both epic science fiction tales dealing with humanity, but that I think is where the comparisons can be brought to an end. Where…
Lost Girl S03E03 – Confaegion
James Thorpe pens this weeks episode, which may be my fave episode of the season, and probably in my top 5 of the series. Confaegion sees the return of the Morrigan (Emmanuelle Vaugier), she’s still determined to get Bo (Anna Silk) out-of-the-way once and for all, and has a plan which sees her recruiting Vex (Paul…
A Tale of Two Sisters (2003) – Jee-woon Kim
For me, there has always been something creepy and disturbing about the horror of Asian cinema, it has the ability to get under my skin and have moments that can actually earn a jump or two from me, so it was with equal parts excitement and trepidation that I turned to the next title on the 101 Horror Movies…
Got It, Need It, Got It…
I can remember the waxy feel of the paper as you opened up a fresh package of trading cards, and shoved the cardboard-like stick of gum in your mouth, it would be good for a couple of chews and then it would just lose all taste and just take up space, but I still love that smell….
