Interview with Toronto Alt-Rocker Siobamm Today on What On What's Good with Jovin Tardif, I am here with Siobamm .  Siobamm is a musician, engineer, producer, and roller derby skater from Toronto, Canada.  Her new single is “ Meat Machine ”.  In our #cinqque5tion interview we discuss roller derby skating, making the music video for “Meat Machine”, her favourite song from her debut EP, Gloom Patrol, and much more. 1. What inspired you to be a musician and why?  I grew up in a really musical family! My grandpa, cousins, and uncles all play in an Irish rock band called “Madd Paddy”, so I just grew up going to those shows and knew that it was something I always wanted to do. I was in a couple of bands in university but nothing really had any momentum. I then found roller derby and threw all my time into that until the pandemic put all my tournament season plans to a halt. 2. When did you get into roller derby skating?  I wanted to play roller derby ever since Whip It (2009), came ou

Barbarian (2022)

Barbarian Regency Enterprises, Almost Never Films, Hammerstone Studios, Vertigo Entertainment, Boulderlight Pictures 20th Century Studios, New Regency Release date  09/09/2022 Georgina Campbell who plays "Tess" discusses Barbarian So I think what sets this movie apart from other horror movies is that it's just got a fantastic script.  It has a fantastic story at its center. It's really well written.  It has something to say which is always kind of exciting when you're watching genre films and it constantly leaves you second-guessing. You just don't know what's going to happen, which is really fun.   I'm so excited to be on a film and working with Justin Long. It was really exciting.  I remember telling my sister, and she was like "Oh, my God, Justin Long...that's so cool" Justin Long who plays "AJ" discusses Barbarian AJ is a real narcissist. He's very entitled and spoiled.  I never played a character who was flawed. Who

Usher as Trevor Kal Penn as Dr. Morgan Desai Rob Morgan Kyle Gallner as Joel Caitlin Stasey as Laura Cinematography Charlie Sarroff Edited by Elliot Greenberg Music by Cristobal Tapia de Veer Caitlin Stasey who plays "Laura Weaver" discusses the smile "The smile was developed just by me, like looking at myself in the mirror and smiling until I freaked myself out.  When Laura is smiling, her eyes wide and unblinking, there's just a cruelty in it...there's a chaotic evil...like totally humanless feeling about it.  It's a really fun role for me, because I'm playing somebody who is like at least appe

Interview with UK-based film director and producer Ginevra Gentili Today on What On What's Good with Jovin Tardif , I am here with Ginevra Gentili .  Ginevra is a British-Italian film director.  Her background is in photography and cinematography.  Previous projects include short films Martin (2020), Tell Tale Signs (2016), music videos, and music documentaries (Eivør Talks Tour).  In our #cinqque5tion interview, we discuss her new short film ' Borrowed Time ', her independent production company, North Harley Films , and much more. 1. What made you decide to pursue a career in filmmaking? It took me a while to get there! I think it's because of where I was born. I spent my childhood in the Tuscan countryside, and it wasn't until I moved away from home that I realized pursuing a creative career was a possibility. While and after studying photography, many little things kept happening that were almost signs, I suppose. When I moved to London, I remember a dear frie
