Showrunner Peter Mitchell co-wrote tonight’s episode with Paul Aitken and it saw a bit of a crossover between two of Canada’s most successful mystery programs, and saw the naming of Newfoundland (not New FOUND land) rum as Screech, the creation of scrabble, and gave George Crabtree (Jonny Harris) a chance to shine as the…

Murdoch Mysteries S07E07 – Loch Ness Murdoch
Michelle Ricco penned this week’s enjoyable episode of Murdoch Mysteries (wait til you see her interview with us on Smithee.TV!). It takes one of the subjects I`ve always been fascinated, cryptozoology, specifically, lake monsters. There have long been rumors of monsters inhabiting not only Canadian lakes, but lakes around the world, the most famous…
Toronto Theatre – So Much to See!
One of the things I love about living in Toronto is that there is always so much to do, there is always something on the go. Sue and I are huge fans of going to the movies, the zoo, very shortly the Aquarium, even taking in the odd sporting event. Of course there are…
Darknet Episode 1
Webseries are proving to be an awesome thing, as well as using various media platforms to promote your series, or product, and it looks like another brilliantly executed one has joined the already illustrious ranks, in the form of Darknet. Located at Darknetfiles.com the new series promises to be creepy, bloody and filled with names you may…
The Mind Reels chats with Greg Nelson and Adrienne Mitchell – Played
Sue has been championing CTV’s new show Played to me since it has premiered. I’m a little behind, only being two epsiodes in, but I can already tell you that it’s intelligent, engaging, and features some fantastic acting. Produced by Back Alley films, which also oversaw our much loved Bomb Girls, Played is a…
Sue’s Series Squawk – Played
I haven’t had time to get caught up on my weekly TV-watching lately, so this week I am going to talk about just one show – the new series on CTV, Played. This series had my attention right off the bat because a) it’s a Back Alley Films/Muse Entertainment production, and after Bomb Girls,…
Evil Dead The Musical – Toronto 2013
Evil Dead The Musical roared back to Toronto last night, and Tim and I were thrilled to have tickets in the Splatter Zone for opening night! It was my first time seeing the musical (Tim was splattered the first time it was in Toronto, as well), and – though I am loathe to admit…
Evil Dead The Musical Returns to Toronto!
Back in 2007, while I was living in Kingston, I heard something incredible… someone had turned one of my favorite cult series, into a musical with lots of blood… In the space of 48 hours, I had ordered the soundtrack from Amazon, got my tickets for the Splatter Zone seating section, and bought my…
Creation Entertainment Salute To Supernatural Toronto 2013
My first experience with a Creation Entertainment event was back in 2007 for their first ever salute to Firefly and Serenity. I’d tried to go to a different Firefly con the previous year, and it was cancelled the day it was supposed to start, but Browncoats are the shiniest, and out of the ashes…
An Evening With KT Tunstall
The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto is a gorgeously appointed theater that was completed in 1919, and seats under 1500 people, and on the evening of September 20, 2013, I settled into my fourth row seat, putting me in spitting distance of the stage (though why would you want to?). I was getting ready…
