The Black Dog Video Newsletter: Nice to See You Edition!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Had a very nice time at the big yard sale this past Saturday. It was great to see so many familiar faces from the days of yore (last year etc). Sold off a lot of films and T-shirts and mugs and socks. I still have a few left and these will be the last of them. Forever. Promise. Hit me up at if yer interested.

With summer finally here, we thought it would be appropriate to release out latest podcast! Join Dylan, Alex and Darren drink and discuss Cape Fear (Can you hear the theme music in your head?) in all its incarnations… and drink. Digressions include Darren’s obsession with salted peanuts, Alex’s habit of breaking up fights and what it’s like to get shot in the dick. And, of course, Sideshow Bob vs Max Cady. Listen in here.

That’s about it for this session. I hope everyone is doing well out there (I’m still trying to find a good job!) and are ready to enjoy this summer (please no smoke, heat, snakes)!

The Black Dog Newsletter: Looking for a Quick Change Edition?!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hello, my lovelies! Just dropping a quick note to tell you about our latest podcast episode!

The Black Dog gang drink and plot the perfect heist while discussing the underrated 1990 Bill Murray crime comedy Quick Change…and drink. Alex recounts the time he met Randy Quaid and Charlie Sheen at the heights of their public insanity among other interesting and hilarious moments. Tune in here!

Also, as mentioned in last week’s post, I will be participating in the neighbourhood yard sale next Saturday, June the 17th. 10am-2pm. I have lots of films (among other things – records, clothing, books, a BBQ, lawnmower) that I will be putting up for sale. Cheap! Like real cheap! If it’s raining, I will more than likely bail, so I’ll send out another reminder next week to see where we’re at.

And one last thing – our good buddy Dylan is off to Scotland this summer to participate in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He’s trying to raise a bit of dough to help him live while he’s there. He set up an IndieGoGo dealie. Please chip in if that is what you’d like to do!

That’s all. Nice talking to you. See you on your computer next week!

The Black Dog Video Newsletter: Army of Kindness Edition!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hey! So it seems I forgot to send out a newsletter last week telling you about our Army of Darkness podcast! Well, let me tell you…
Hail to the King, baby! The Black Dog Video Podcast is joined by Vancouver musician and hair-cutting master Jeff (Steele) of Those Things/Jefferson’s Barbershop fame to drink and discuss Sam Raimi’s medieval mayhem that is Army Of Darkness…and drink. Digressions include remembering Casey Siemasko, the Wizard of Oz and hair. Lots of hair. Tune in, drop out, get involved!

Huge news! Black Dog’s own Dylan Rhymer has been accepted to the world famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival with his new comedy show!

Time. Money. Insanity. Brains in jars. Flying saucers. Breakfast cereal. There’s a little bit of everything. THE DARK SIDE OF THE ROOM is my full length stand up comedy show to be premiered in Edinburgh Scotland this summer. It is the culmination of over 20 years’ experience as a working comedian right here in my home of East Vancouver.

However, self-producing a comedy show for 21 nights is a daunting task and I could use a little help from my friends. The Edinburgh Fringe is a major undertaking that requires resources. By donating to this campaign you’ll be helping a working artist (me) stay afloat and focus on the most important thing: the show. Your contribution will help cover the basic costs, accommodation, food and travel. I am now halfway through my campaign with only a few weeks left to fund raise. Help me get across the finish line!

Please have a look at my Indiegogo campaign for more information!

Also wanted to let any of you movie collectors out there that I will be participating in the upcoming Great Grandview Garage Sale (June 17th I believe)! I’ll have piles of DVDs and Blu Rays up for grabs for cheap (think starting at $1 cheap!). More details in the next newsletter!

I hope y’all are being good to each other out there! Take care and talk at ya soon.
