Join us each week as celebrity guests pitch an idea for a film based on one of the SUPER niche sub-genres on Netflix. From ‘Steamy Crime Movies from the 1970s’ to ‘Australian Dysfunctional Family Comedies Starring A Strong Female Lead’, our celebrity guests will pitch their wacky plot, their dream cast, the marketing stunts, and everything in between. By the end of every episode, Jimmy Carr, Comedian by night / “Netflix Executive” by day, will decide whether the pitch is greenlit or condemned to development hell! New episodes on Wednesdays starting May 28th! Listen on all podcast platforms and watch on the Netflix is a Joke YouTube Channel . The Big Pitch is a co-production by Netflix and BBC Studios Audio.…

The title has literally nothing to do with the episode. Well maybe a very little. Mother’s Day tomorrow. Jon came, which is always nice. Seems like a decent day, mid teens temperature wise. Isabelle is going on a walk for Mother’s Day. I’m cooking stuff for Mother’s Day. Isabelle might be going to the Robertson Cliffs.…

Jon came this week! THE TERM IS OVER. THE SHOW IS OVER AT ISABELLE’S GALLERY! So we’re both in good spirits. I’m getting my bike out today! Oddly, no election talk. We saw a plane! Oh, one pic is the plane, the other is plastic making.

This one is not about animal behaviour. I mean really, are any of our episodes ever about anything? THE TERM IS OVER. The show at Isabelle’s gallery is winding down. The snow is gone. Might get my bike out soon!

Brokien Area - Episode 575 - Biosculptures 29:58

5 weeks тому29:58

29:58

This week’s title works on two levels. The stuff Isa is doing for an art project (which.sounds super cool) and the fact that the melting snow has a sculpture like effect, it’s kind of cool. Speaking of cool, it’s cool, but above freezing, so lots of melting. I’m still mad about the USA. I gave an exam on Monday. I have another on Friday. We voted.…

Yup it’s been a while. I was away at a conference two weeks ago, and last week I lost my voice. Of course many of you are saying ‘Oh Dave lost his voice, on hon, anyway…’ The term is winding down. Jon came again, he’s always super helpful. Isabelle’s student presented their work. This city is full of micro climates.…

Yes yes, we didn’t do last week. Lots of stuff has happened. We were to drive to Quebec last week, but the weather didn’t cooperate. Isabelle will head over there next week. The break is over, so I’ll be back teaching. There are Canadian flags everywhere! I’m not going to talk about him.

We skipped last week for a good reason The awesome Noëlla Guimond, Isabelle’s Maman, died last week. She had a huge impact on our lives of course, but, she affected many others. Her work was always about lifting other people up. Remember that. Oh yeah, and the USA sucks. You can take your trade war and shove it. I’ll see Maddie in a couple of months. Hey, maybe Isabelle will go to Germany! Oh yeah, it snows a lot again.…

So, what is the etiquette on saying Happy New Year? Is it too late? If so, screw you, you can’t have a Happy New Year from us! Short one today. We got back on Tuesday from a week in London. London was great, we saw family, we went to a cool café that had board games. We went to the T and T superstore which was awesome. We had every possible type of weather on the drive there. This term is shaping up to be less, oh, let’s go with annoying.…

We went early today to avoid the nightmare that is Christmas groceries. It worked! I cashed in points today, so the groceries cost 9 bucks. We also were going to get our wheels re torqued, but that will wait until Monday. Making more bits and bites this week. I made shortbread this week, its gone. I’ll make sugar cookies this afternoon.…

A little later today. It’s time to make the méli mélo. The streets are still pretty messy. It was a madhouse in the store today. The plumbing thing is basically done, so that’s good. The bits and bites are now in the oven actually.

25 weeks тому37:09

SO yeah, we got 80 cm of snow Thursday night. Needless to say, Friday was a snow day. Of course I didn’t have to teach anyway. Jon and I took 2.5 hr to shovel the driveway. I went from BBQing stuff and hanging laundry outside to, well, this. I think our street got more snow than anyone, somehow.

Nice day today. Indeed, I’d take my bike out if it weren’t such a pain. We watched the Snake River Canyon jump, err, Mike Tyson fighting Logan Paul. It was fun, also Isabelle watched sports. It was brutal. The two middle fights were actually pretty good. Isabelle has lots of art projects on the go.

Hey we’re back! We haven’t been doing things as the Internet Archive was down and that’s where we put the audio. Could one today, though it did warm up. Lots of useless trucks in the parking lot today. I didn’t get one of my favourite cashiers. Work is repetitive currently. Isabelle has projects, as usual. I got my COVID and flu shots and had side effects.…

Broken Area - Episode 559 - Crazy With Fur and Sparkles 50:09

33 weeks тому50:09

50:09

A day late. A day late because the recording screwed up yesterday, well part of it anyway. I don’t even know if the part about crazy fur and sparkles is in the episode actually. Isabelle had her final night of her installation. Our buses here are like Uber aft 6 on weekends, so that was interesting. We seem to keep forgetting things. The wind today is insane.…

OK, like when will summer end? It’s going up to like 28 today. Jon came along, and got the movie you see in the past. Isabelle has a big day, she is presenting an installation today and next week for Ontario Culture Days. It’s a long process, going from the early conceptual days to today. Isabelle takes you through it. I will come down tonight on my bike to help her out. Oh also, I picked up a few season s of the Twilight Zone.…

36 weeks тому36:46

Nice day today, though I think it is going to get hot. I finished my first full week. Getting used to the timetable is the hardest thing. Oh and lecturing for 4.5 hours on Wednesday does not help. We talked to Maddie! They don’t speak Wasabi in Germany. Isabelle is hoping for some news soon.

Nice day today. It is week 2 of our national nightmare, where we don’t have a washing machine. An RV pulling a car was stuck on the road, as you can see in the picture. Oh my god, it’s the last weekend of the summer! OK, not technically, but you know what I mean. Washing clothes by hand has given me Popeye arms.…

Lot’s of technical difficulties in the past two weeks, but we’re back. Where are we back from? We are back from Kingston where we visited Ken and Jackie! It was great. We saw some cool old rare books. We went on a tour of the old Kingston Pen. Generally we hung out with our friends and it was glorious. Thanks Ken and Jackie!…

James Earl Jones had nothing to do with this one. We lamented the news, and the lack of it. We used to read the paper every morning, and while it is now replaced with websites, it’s not the same. Rainy day. About 14C out, no biking weather. Canada won the 4x100m men’s relay, so that’s great.

Very warm today, there won’t be a bike ride. Indeed, I even mowed the lawn early today. I say ‘fair to middling’ a lot. We went to Timmins! Timmins is interesting enough. People were very friendly. Our hybrid car continues to amaze.
