9to5 Entertainment System (9ES)

It’s after dinner! Which means it’s time for 9ES! That only make sense if you follow us on Facebook, which is a thing you should be doing. I had a bunch of things to do tonight, including recording next week’s[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9to5 Entertainment System 55: Open the Gates! appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

Ok, so no lie but we really do talk quite a bit about the massive battle that just occurred in EVE Online. Known then only as the B-R5RB battle it was a huge part of our day as all three[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Sophie's not around so you know what that means? We talk about SPORTS! Not the whole time mind you but it does come up a little more when it's just the boys. This is actually a great episode. Jon starts by openly admitting that his new prison is shame. Why? You will just have to listen to find out. You know the drill, like it, share it, upvote it or something.

Agree with us? Disagree with us? Let us know jerks. If you listened to last year’s year in review it was a little dark in terms of where everybody was “at”. But 2013 was a year on the up and[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9to5 Entertainment System 52: 2013 Year in Review! appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

In case you were unaware, 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the X-Men franchise. A few months ago we got together to record our special little tribute to those uncanny men and women. The idea was to keep it in the bank for a week when we couldn't get together. However, we also realized that this will be the last episode in 2013 so if we didn't use it this week we wouldn't really be celebrating th...

Here it is guys, the moment you've been waiting for: the 50th episode! However, as certain very astute listeners have pointed out, there is no Episode 17 or 18. So, umm... PSYCH! Maybe we'll do something special for episode 52 or maybe not. We're winding down 2013 people, do you know what we want for Christmas? We want you to like and share the podcast and the website. It's free. Just like this po...

First off, full disclosure: I have no idea where the echo in the audio came from and I don’t have time to tweak it the way I usually do. I figured “hey, I’m giving you this for free, deal with[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9to5 Entertainment System 49: He Doesn’t Even Run a City appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

Welcome back to the best podcast that nobody is listening to! Due to the massive storm last week in Montreal we a) lost power so couldn't record and b) couldn't record because I somehow forgot to work the recording software. As a result we had to record early Sunday morning without Sophie. We make it work so you never miss a chance to hear us ramble on about whatever is on our mind. Anyhow, we're...

Look right up there! Yeah! Up there! The iTunes thing, subscribe and comment and like us and all that shit. Anyways, yeah, someone, and I'm not going to name names but you know who you are, is a heavy breather. We're working on it guys, we really are. You may have noticed that those pesky echoes are just about all the way gone. It's almost as though after nearly 50 episodes of this show we're star...

Jono was up North communing with nature so Scott, Sophie and I hold down the fort with our wide variety of super powers. Sophie is a little sleepy on this one guys, cut her some slack. However, here's a picture of her psychedelic anthill butt. Isn't that something? The post 9to5 Entertainment System 46: Gamma, Erksine, Super Soldier, Extremis appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

It's Thursday which means it's podcast time. Last week was Go Plug Yourself which means that this week is... 9to5 Entertainment System! Yay! Seriously, let us know what you think motherfuckers.

Look at that image, do you know what that is? If you don't know what that is you have to listen to the episode to find out. Sophie, Scott and I sit down and talk comics, movies, tattoos and a Cleric named Moustache. All this and more.

I'll tell you what Sophie thinks. Sophie thinks that storytelling is NOT art. There, I spoiled it. She doesn't think writers are artists. Send all hate tweets to @9to5Sophie folks. Why is the intro segment weird and where is Jon? He's there, he's just on mute. As a result I just cut him out of the conversation. It felt so goooood...

The moment you've been waiting for all year has finally arrived, here they are, your winners of the Fantasia 9to5sies! The post The Second Annual Fantasia 9to5sies! appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

Note: The 9to5 crew in no way endorses dropping babies on their heads. Our feelings about sexual violence in fiction, advertising to children and sexism in comics are much more blurred. We talk about all of those things and more in this week's episode of the 9to5 Entertainment System. Yeah, I realize that we talk about some gender charged issues while our resident Sophie is not on the episode and...

So we didn't quite get to the same number of films as we did last year, but hey, we had more written reviews this year (not to mention our interview with Lloyd Kaufman and upcoming interview with Kane Hodder) so deal with it. It was closing night so I checked out the big closing film of Fantasia Edgar Wright's The World's End and Jono went the indie route and watched Mexican slow paced zombie dram...

What we've got here is probably the second to last in our Fantasia review series of podcasts, we're gonna try to whip up another edition of the 9to5sies by the weekend, but we're almost all done here. Tonight's episode takes us to the latest entry in the Chucky series along with a 85 minute Nightwish music video. Listen to see what we thought of those two things.

Walter J. Lyng, who you might know from that OTHER podcast joins us to talk about two standout films coming from deep in the "B" category of cinema. 1989's terribad action blockbuster Samurai Cop and the latest offering from Troma Films (and the fourth film in the Nuke Em High series) Return to Nuke Em High.

I got together with Sophie and watched After School Midnighters while Jon decided he wanted to give a second opinion to Scott's take on the film Vessel. What did we think about them? Listen now! The post 9to5 Goes to Fantasia 8: After School Midnighters and Vessel appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

Due to some sort of technical tomfoolery, the little intro ramble was lost to the sands of the internet. Which is a real loss since Sophie said “Russia is being homo about the gays” which, in my opinion, is comedic[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

So Jon and I both watched Rewind This and then I stuck around da Seve for The Dirties (which we give yet another glowing shout out to) and Jon huffed over to The Imperial to watch Bobcat Goldthwait's found footage sasquatch horror film Willow Creek. We 're about to get Fantasia'd up in this bee-yotch. The post 9to5 Goes to Fantasia 7: Rewind This and Willow Creek appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

We're hitting our stride here at 9to5 (dot cc) as keep going to see movies at what has so far been an incredible edition of the Fantasia Festival. Today, Jon and I talk about the social networking horror thriller Antisocial and Danny Trejo kicking some serious zombie ass in Zombie Hunter.

What’s on the show tonight? Is it a film about an obsessives terrifying (and also Mormon) man who falls for a recently separated woman and a movie about a brilliant but trouble scientist who happens to create a sophisticated AI[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Jon and Keith again tackle two wildy different films with Go Down Death and OXV: The Manual. Go Down Death is a black and white tribute film to the strange absurd film making of yesteryear and OXV is a mathematical, philosophical romance story about measurable luck. These sure do sound like Fantasia Festival films don't they? They sure do! The post 9to5 Goes to Fantasia 4: Go Down Death and OXV: T...

For the third episode of our ongoing Fantasia series Jon and Keith saw two wildly different films. Described (by Jon and Keith) as a "kilometer long and high obsidian wall" and "a buddy comedy with zombies that gets dark" respectively, Thanatomorphose and The Battery are both prime examples of what makes a festival like Fantasia great. Did we like them? Listen now! The post 9to5 Goes to Fantasia:...
