9to5.cc Podcasts: Including Go Plug Yourself (GPYS) & 9to5 Entertainment System (9ES)

We talk a lot about a lot of things in this episode of 9to5 Entertainment System. We break down the reddit blackout news, Conor McGregor knocking out a mascot and we maybe even figure out why Ridley Scott movies suck after a certain point. But we also talk about whether or not Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 might be a metaphor for James Gunn’s relationship with Marvel/Disney. But don’t take my w...

Why is the weather always terrible when we record these? It’s June! It’s cold and raining! That means it’s time for another Osheaga podcast! To get ourselves (and you!) hyped up for one of our favorite weekends of the year Sarah and I do what we do every year: listen to the whole dang lineup and make an impossible to follow schedule for all 3 days by falling in love with a dozen artist...

The Montreal podcast that asks owner of TurboHaus Sergio Da Silva: What’s your favorite place in NDG? We also ask him if he’s seen Ted Lasso. Both of those questions were submitted back in Episode 277 by Walter J. Lyng and Troy Stark respectively . We’ve had Sergio Da Silva on the show before. A few times actually. The last time was right before the pandemic in 2020. So let&#8217...

The St-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival is back! That means our Fringe podcast is back! Sarah and I are super excited for this year’s Fringe lineup and to celebrate we sat down with the artists behind 3 incredible sounding shows that will be happening as part of the 2023 editions of the Montreal Fringe Festival. They are (and click the links for more info and tickets!): 01:32: 9 Lives, 8 Ne...

There’s a point in this episode of 9ES where Jon finds out that Keith went to Disney World and simply asks: “Why?” I think Jon is probably the least enticed by extravagant consumerism of the three of us so I understand why he might question the reasoning of spending three days and a pretty exorbitant amount of money just basking in all the glory of The Mouse. However, it must be clearly stated tha...

Sure it snowed last week but that doesn’t mean that summer isn’t around the corner, does it? And one of the best parts of summer in Montreal is Osheaga weekend. That means it’s time for another Osheaga podcast! To get ourselves (and you!) hyped up for one of our favorite weekends of the year Sarah and I do what we do every year: listen to the whole dang lineup and make an impossi...

Part of me loves the fact that other podcasts try their best to stay up to the minute with pop-culture references and current events and our podcast sometimes talks about movies like Meet the Spartans for 20 minutes. And it’s not like this show is JUST a bad-movie podcast or something, so who even knows why any of this resonates with our audience. But every month we get a good little number of peo...

In celebration of the NDG Comedy Fest that is going on  right now we are turning the clocks back to when Derek Seguin had just SiriusXM Top Comic back in 2015. Why? Well Derek Seguin will be closing out the festivities this weekend at The Wheel Club this Sunday, May 2st ( get your tickets now ). It’s crazy that we recorded this nearly 8 years ago. This city has been through quite a bit and I...

Our Unofficial Osheaga Podcast is back for 2023! We’re kicking things off with our first look at Friday’s lineup! Every two weeks Sarah and I will be digging into the entire lineup of this year’s Osheaga to give you music recommendations all summer long. We’ll be picking ten acts from each day, talking about them and playing clips of their songs to give you a feel for their...

The Montreal podcast that asks Walter J. Lyng and Troy Stark (of The NDG Comedy Fest) not one, but two questions: What is your favorite Montreal thing that isn’t around anymore? What is your dream vehicle that is also a Transformer? Those questions asked by Yannick and Alex ( Les Voyeurs de Vues ) back in episode 276. My former (and sometimes still) co-host Walter J. Lyng can never be faulte...

Picard Season 3 apparently doesn’t suck – I don’t know why but out of all the nostalgia that is being thrown at me these days “Picard” just doesn’t seem to cut it. Maybe I like the fact that Star Trek just kind of lives in my childhood and I don’t need to revisit it all the time? Maybe I just feel badly burned by Star Wars. We talk a little bit in this episode about how droids get their desi...

Montreal podcast Go Plug Yourself asks Yannick Belzil and Alex Rose (of the “ Les Voyeurs de Vues ” podcast) not one, but two burning questions: Where do you go from here? AND Who is the most fuckable on Lost? Asked by Andy Belanger “The Animal” (creator of Mother Trucker). Yannick and Alex are co-hosts of a podcast called “ Voyeurs de Vues “. As I understand it...

I cannot stress this enough: watch John Wick 4. It is unparalleled as an action film.   So, peeling back the curtain a little bit, let me tell you that I (Keith) normally write these blurbs and then Jono posts them.   However, this week Jon sent me a blurb about the LCS Spring playoffs and I thought I would share:   “Who caught LCS finals this weekend? GG smashed FlyQuest in a hilariously un...

Ice Storm 2023 means that your favorite Montreal arts and entertainment podcast that doesn’t have a guest this week! Nobody had power last week and we’re all kind of recovering! So yeah – instead of a regular episode featuring a guest this episode features the wonderful Chris Venditto and myself just hanging out and shooting the shit like those kids on That 70’s Show. I kee...

I apologize in advance for how conceited this next bit will sound.   If there was a late-night college radio show that existed in the 90s when I was in high-school (and before podcasts existed) where the hosts just shot the shit and talked about comic books, video games and obscure shit from the 80s it would be my favorite thing.   Now I get to make my favorite thing. But you get the ple...

The Montreal arts and entertainment podcast that asks freelance comic book creator (and pro-wrestler) Andy Belanger: “What is your favorite childhood book?” – asked by comedian Elie Gill back in episode 274 . “I want to be a comic book creator by day and a pro-wrestler by night” sounds like the kind of thing you would say to a high-school councilor right before they y...

The Montreal podcast that breaks down every Montreal location in Scream 6 that they are pretending is New York City is back for episode 282!   As you may have seen on this very website , Scream 6 was filmed mainly in Montreal. It is so clearly (to a local) Montreal that it almost seems preposterous to imagine it is taking place anywhere else.   The characters of Scream 6 continually draw...

The Montreal podcast that asks comedian Elie Gill: What is your ideal sandwich? That question asked back in episode 273 by t he hot dog loving Amanda McQueen (we also ask the insane secondary question: What tattoo would you let Keith give you?) Elie Gill is a Montreal comedian and independent journalist who just got back from London to do this show. That’s right, we flew her in from London j...

The Montreal podcast that provides hot takes on HBO’s Last of Us, Ron DeSantis and Terrifier 2 all in one place is back!   I think the hottest take is when Keith posits that Aliens might actually be a zombie movie. It’s not a great take but it is certainly hot and spicy.   I think we can summarize our take on Ron DeSantis as “wut.” From the outside looking in you can’t help but wonder ho...

The Montreal podcast that asks comedian Amanda McQueen: “What’s the most interesting place you’ve had sex?” – asked by our last guest Pat Hickey back in episode 272 . If you’ve never had the chance to hear Amanda McQueen perform standup then you’ve just run out of excuses. That’s right, Amanda has released a brand new comedy album called “A Hot...

The Montreal podcast that talks about Nope, Elvis and The Last of Us has a hard time sleeping because they are pretty sure mushrooms are now flying aliens from Graceland returns. Listen now! Why is this show 3 days late? Here’s what happened:  We all ended up at a cabin over the weekend and none of us had our computers. Sorry! (Note: If you subscribe to our  Patreon you probably noticed that...

The Montreal podcast that asks legendary Montreal Gazette columnist Pat Hickey: “What is the most memorable commercial you’ve ever seen?” That question asked by the one and only Josh Clarke back in episode 270 . To say that Pat Hickey has had a tremendous career would be an understatement. If you listen carefully to this podcast you might hear my mind explode several times. Pat H...

The Montreal podcast that is coming to you directly from a spy balloon right over your house is back for our historic 279th episode. So last episode, for a laugh, I asked chatgpt to write our blog post for us but I only shared it with the other hosts of the show. This time I share it with you: Montreal, get ready for a ride on the wild side! Join [Podcast Name] as we dive into the strange and surp...

The best Montreal podcast that realized that it was way too snowy and cold to attract a guest is back baby! But listen up – our host depth chart is  so deep that it doesn’t even matter that we don’t have what some would call a “guest” on this episode. Top Montreal comedians Lawrence Corber and Chris Venditto join my wife and I to talk a lot about snow. Seriously, half...

The Montreal podcast that would easily collect an entire deck of cards in Alice in Borderland Season 2 is back with another podcast for your ears. I’ve always had a soft spot for some deathmatch based fiction. From Running Man to Battle Royale to Death Race 2000 (to name some of my favorites). There is something immediately gripping about watching contestants face off to the death. There’s somethi...
