Someone is killing people “like Sam.” It turns out that according to John Winchester’s last whispered secret, Dean needs to watch Sam closely and if it becomes too late, kill him. Dean wants to stay put, out of harm’s way, but Sam wants to find the others like him, so he splits off on his own. Good ol’ no-gray-areas Gordon turns out to be the killer, and he has Sam in his sights. Can a vision from a new third party save Sam from a noisy and bloody death? Find out on this week’s episode.
No guest this week, and we still manage to reveal…
Familiar looking… Canadian looking.
As a mother you have to let your child grow, and develop… and hunt demons… and kill things.
We may be talking about getting drunk at 10:00 in the morning, but we won’t actually get there until 11 or 12.

In the 4th episode of this season’s Bates Motel, frankly- we seem to learn a little more about some characters then we wished to know. Too much about Norman’s quest to make his girlfriend jealous -and we don’t mean Emma- (and while we’re at it: too much about his horrible sandwich making habits!). Too much about Bob Paris and his regard of hookers, and TOO MUCH about Caleb’s feelings about his sister! Despite the over sharing- it was an enjoyable episode (and one Emily didn’t realize was so funny until she recorded a podcast about it with her sister).
Join Em and Sue as we laugh our way through breaking this unbreakable episode down! (While I’m at it: why oh why did Caleb prove to be unbreakable??? He’s alive- dammit!)
Premiering today exclusively on CONtv, Mythica: A Quest for Heroes is the first installment of the Mythica trilogy from Arrowstorm Entertainment. The next two parts (Mythica: The Darkspore and Mythica: The Necromancer )will also debut on the new streaming channel later this year.
The story of Mythica: A Quest for Heroes is fairly typical of fantasy-adventure films: a temple is raided, a woman is kidnapped, and her sister, a healer-priestess, hires a team of would-be heroes to find and save her. Along the way they face dangerous creatures (ogres, orcs, etc.) and learn about themselves.
Here’s what isn’t typical: The first hero to sign on for priestess Teela’s quest is a young woman named Marek, a young magician with a club foot. It is Marek who finds the rest of the group, and convinces them to join the quest, and her story is really the heart of the film.
Marek is played by the incredibly engaging Melanie Stone, who infuses the part with the perfect balance of eager anticipation and fierce tenacity. Her teammates include Adam Johnson as the noble warrior Thane, and Jeremy Stormoen as the delightfully roguish thief, Dagen. Rounding out the party is Nicola Posener as Teela.
All four are relative unknowns, with a few genre credits and bit parts in more mainstream productions, and all four are relatable and watchable, but it is Stone who really grabs the camera’s – and the viewer’s – attention. I enjoyed her performance in this film so much that even when the plot was somewhat predictable, I was never bored.
The supporting cast, including Kevin Sorbo as Marek’s mentor Gojun Pye, is as interesting as the core four. Of particular note are the performances by Christopher Robin Miller as Hammerhead the Innkeeper/Bartender and Sebastian Michael Barr as Marek’s friend Egan.
If Anne Black’s direction feels, at times, as though we are watching a well-plotted LARP adventure, that doesn’t detract at all from the story. (Black is also one of the writers, along with Jason Faller and Kynan Griffin.) After all, the Mythica series was inspired, in part, by RPGs. A combination of digital and practical effects – an impressive array considering the size of the filmmakers’ budget – enriches the film, and Nathaniel Drew’s soundtrack was a delightful surprise.
The creators of the Mythica trilogy have said in interviews that this project was created by fans for fans, but it was also supported by fans: a Kickstarter campaign was a crucial source of funding for the first film, and the Kickstarter campaign for the second installment (link here) was launched yesterday.
If you’re looking for a highly intellectual film, Mythica: A Quest for Heroes isn’t it. If, however, you want to spend an enjoyable hour and a half watching some really likable characters on a journey, not just to save Teela’s sister, but also toward camaraderie, then point your web browser or Roku device of choice toward CONtv, pop some popcorn, and have fun.
Based on Sam’s vision of Dean shooting a guy in a small town in Oregon, what is the best course of action for the brothers? Never going to that town, because then Dean will never have to shoot the guy? Nope, in fact the best course of action is to go there right away. I can’t explain the logic, but perhaps you’d like to know more. If so, watch “Croatoan” and then listen along to this week’s episode!

Well, episode 3 aired this week and it didn’t disappoint (well, it disappointed Sue a little since Chick was absent). Other than that- we had some great stuff: Norma in a morgue, capers with pot plants, hulkified bed lifting and a few plot twists we didn’t see coming. Not to mention Norman’s head mama made an appearance. Join Em and Sue as we (hurriedly) try to make sense of the season so far.
Just so you all know: this is the podcast that almost never was. Emily is putting on a gigantic function this week (almost over- tomorrow night!) so she had very limited time- but who could brush off Bates Motel and this podcast?, THEN the recording mysteriously stopped 30 minutes in- but no fear Sue hopefully recorded a back up. Yep she did, but her computer won’t let the file open. Sue pulled off a miracle while Em was too busy to help her or answer her questions and got it and sent it over. Anyway- here it is… I’m happy to be able to present it to you this week albeit a little late. (It would have been later -like sunday- but I sprained my ankle today and got out of a mid day appointment and viola! Editing time! Now that you know our life story– enjoy the podcast :).
In this episode, The Freaks battle love on all sides, while the Geeks learn a little more then they wanted to know about it (no- Daniel doesn’t supply them with another porno)- but they lose just as much innocence.
Meanwhile, we the hosts of McKinleycast are glad to be back! We hope you join us as we navigate this episode, decide who won, grade it, and read your feedback. Then, if you’re so inclined- join us after the music as we shot the breeze with each other. Our discussion topics include: Sushi, fish pills, exercise, movies and TV (but not freaky storms- I ended up cutting that all out).
In this latest installment, Em and Sue watched some movies and TV shows such as: Gone Girl, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Side Effects, Only Lovers Left Alive, and more. Then we discuss the season 2 episode of Angel “Epiphany”. Luckily, Sue had a bit more fun watching this episode, even if it was pretty much due to redneck Lindsey.
