Chloe (2022) Mam Tor Productions, Amazon Studios BBC One, Prime Video Social Media #Chloe #PrimeVideo Release date Friday, June 24, on Amazon Prime Video #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) Chloe is an interesting drama.  I wasn't blown away when I was watching it ... but it was fascinating. Becky (Erin Doherty) has a stressful life.  She is struggling with getting work, is low on funds, and dealing with a mother with dementia. In her spare time, she goes on her phone to keep an eye on social media.  She visits Instagram to essentially compare herself to others.  One of her favourites on Instagram is Chloe. One day, Becky (who likes to visit Chloe's Instagram account and is her most dedicated social media follower) finds out that Chloe dies. Apparently, she committed suicide and Becky wants to know why ... She decides to create a fake identity and work with Chloe’s friends (who she never met) to find out what happened.   Can Becky live Chl...

Interview with singer and actor Ian Lake Today on What On What's Good with Jovin Tardif , I am here with Ian Lake .  His latest single is “more” from his debut album  What It Is .  You may have seen Ian as Bolton from Locke and Key on Netflix or Tolor on Star Trek: Discovery on Netflix.  In our #cinqquestion interview, we discuss songwriting tips, behind-the-scenes at Locke & Key, a future short film, and much more.   1. Do you have any songwriting tips for new artists? I think the most important thing when you’re writing any song is just to follow your first impulses without judging if it’s the best lyric or the best melody, even if it doesn’t feel great at the moment. I usually find if I’m trying to come up with the perfect lyric, I’ll usually get stuck and stop writing. But if I just write whatever comes, I can always go back and fix what’s not feeling right after. And don’t worry about structure. Not everything has to follow the traditional, ve...

Three Thousand Years of Longing Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, United Artists Releasing Release date August 26, 2022 Idris Elba ("The Djinn") discusses Three Thousand Years of Longing My first impression was that it was a wonderful, fantastical story. Tilda has been like an incredible partner, just an incredibly fantastic actor, a complete, majestic figure.  Tilda and I were keen to make sure that the language, just the story, really affects the audience in a way that the audience would go...I wonder what I would have done.  Tilda Swinton ("Alithea") discusses Three Thousand Years of Longing Idris and I met once at a party which is a very rare sentence for me to say. I don't go to many parties, but I met him at a party. We exchanged that sort of very banal statement Oh, it would be lovely to work together.  I am a huge admirer of George's cinema. He in so many ways makes a cinema that I respond to like a child.  The shape, of the film, the sort of trajectory arrows...

Interview with   post-pop artist, songwriter, videographer, and Web3 innovator   Amanda Frances Today on What On What's Good with Jovin Tardif , I am here with Amanda Frances .  Her latest single is “ making out with vampires ”.  Frances will be dropping a single as well as a mini film music video NFT each month leading up to the release of her debut EP, “attachment theory,” produced by Juno-nominated producer, Father Bobby Townsend.  In our #cinqquestion interview, we discuss what made her decide to be a musician, musicians that inspire her, indie label Sadboy Records , interest outside of music, and much more.   1. What made you decide to be a musician? I don’t know if I could even say that I decided to be a musician - music, and particularly writing was just always what I was innately drawn to. I think I just naturally gravitated toward spending more and more of my time doing what makes me feel most creative and most empowered in that creati...

Interview with country/pop artist and songwriter Megan Dawson Today on What On What's Good with Jovin Tardif , I am here with Calgary, AB country/pop artist and songwriter Megan Dawson .  Dawson's latest release is "Kissed Me Like That" (Produced by Dan Swinimer and Written by Madeline Merlo, Emma-Lee and Lindsay Rimes).  In our #cinqquestion interview, we discuss her creative process, musical influences, possible future collaborations and much more. 1. Can you tell us about your creative process? My creative process definitely changes quite a bit! A lot of the time, I will jot down any concepts, lines or ideas down to circle back to later. Whether it’s with a co-writer or when I sit down for a solo write. I’m definitely a melody person and find that this is one of my favorite ways to bring a song to life. I find that as much as the songs I write can change so much based on concept and melodies but I love co-writing so much as it can help bring to life a whole new p...
