I was going to try and come up with a clever title or gimmick for this, like Sue’s Top 12 of 2012, or something. But I didn’t want to restrict myself with a number, and the fact is, one of the reasons we started the Mind Reels was because we felt that things we loved…

On the Set – Bomb Girls
If the fire of excitement were to be transmuted into light, then Sue and I would be as stars in the firmament, turning night into day… We’d been invited for a visit to the Bomb Girls set, and Sue and I were over the moon! Bomb Girls burst on the scene in January of this year,…
Back Alley Films
We love Bomb Girls here at The Mind Reels, and we’ve been very lucky to interview a number of the creative folks who have been involved with it, Jodi Balfour, Ali Liebert, Charlotte Hegele, Meg Tilly, and Michael MacLennan. Now we can add two more wonderful people to that roster – co-creator/co-show runner/producer of the series…
Michael MacLennan
It’s no lie that Sue and I were completely enchanted with the series of Bomb Girls. We’ve had some wonderful chats with the cast of the show, and now we’re taking a look behind the show with one of the show’s co-creators, the awesome Michael MacLennan. We met Michael for a couple of drinks and…
Bomb Girls: Episode 6 – Element of Surprise
Knowing that this episode was only the end of Season 1 and not the series certainly made it easier to get through. If this had been the last time I was to find myself in the company of Betty, Gladys, Kate, Lorna, Vera, Bob and Edith then I’m not sure I would’ve watched the episode…
Meg Tilly
Sue and I couldn’t believe our good fortune. We have had a great deal of success in chatting with a number of the wonderful and charming cast of Bomb Girls. We decided to take a chance, and approached our wonderful contact at Shaw Media with the idea of one last interview to tie in with…
Bomb Girls: Episode 5 – Armistice
In watching this episode of Bomb Girls, I was thinking perhaps a sub-title was needed under this week’s title – this is the price we pay. I’m not talking in terms of comeuppance or karma, I’m referring simply to what we pay in lives and emotions, in response to war. And this week, they pull…
Charlotte Hegele
It’s Wednesday, and know what that means? Episode 5 of Bomb Girls airs on Global this evening. That’s good and bad. Good cause it’s a new episode, bad cause when it’s done, there’s only one left. Sigh. Hopefully they get picked up for a second season (and Sue and I will start begging for a…
Bomb Girls: Episode 4 – Bringing Up Bombshell
Episode 4, puts us past the halfway mark, and leads us racing towards the end of the first season (which implies there will be a second season, and personally that’s the way I like to see it). Ali Liebert, in our interview with her earlier in the week said this episode pushes her character…
Chatting with Ali Liebert
Tuesday evening, Sue and I got to chat with the very cool Ali Liebert! We rang her up, and had a great talk about Bomb Girls, her role as Betty, her wardrobe, and her fantastic cast mates. She’s a lot of fun (and just between you and me, seems incredibly cool), and we do hope…
