The Mind Reels Chats with Orphan Black’s Dylan Bruce
Sue and I had a fantastic time at Fan Expo this year, and shot a bunch of interviews with the cast of Space and BBC America’s hit show Orphan Black, Defiance and Bitten! This is our first, a selfie taken with Dylan Bruce who plays Paul Dierden on the hit series Orphan Black!
Fan Expo Day 4
The great thing about going to cons with Sue Maynard is that we complement each other so well, just like on our show. She’s the schedule, I’m the map, and it works out brilliantly. As we went into Day 4 of Toronto’s Fan Expo, we learned that the key word for this year was…
Fan Expo Day 3
Saturday is undeniably the busiest day of the week at Expo, all those people who couldn’t get Thursday and Friday off work, and all those folks coming in on day passes flood in. The place was full, but for Sue and I, and the fact that the convention is spread over two buildings, it didn’t…

The Conspiracy (2012) – Christopher MacBride
The Conspiracy is a dizzying descent through a glass darkly. A world where black SUVs have taken the place of black helicopters, and the New World Order is risen and installed in every aspect of life. And this world is our own. Or at least that is what conspiracy nut Terrance (Alan C. Petersen)…
The Lesser Blessed (2012) – Anita Doron
There was a moment in Anita Doron’s desolate, poignant and starkly beautiful adaptation of Richard Van Camp’s novel when Joel Evans character of Larry Sole crystallized not only as a real person for me, but as a lens to view my own youth (admittedly nowhere near as troubling, but there were pieces of my own…
