  • Baroness Von Sketch Show

    Another find through the CBC app (or rather as highlighted in Apple’s Television app) was this all-female comedy series that is currently on its second season. Reading up about it afterwards, it gets described as the best thing in Canadian comedy since Kids in the Hall, and I think I agree. I’ve watched the first…

  • Brand Canada

    With the recent Apple TV update and the release of Apple’s Television app in Canada, I’ve been watching a bit more streaming stuff outside of Netflix. It got me to download the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) app, and I was surprised to see that all of their original series are all available to watch through…

  • More on Dangen

    The Japan Times recently published a piece that gives a nice rundown of what Dangen Entertainment — a publisher+ that wants to be the bridge between Japan and the west — is all about. Glad to see my buddies Ben, John, and Nayan getting so much great coverage for their new business.

  • Gener8ion Continues

    Nothing really to say other than I still really love the Gener8ion Tumblr, even though I know nothing about who is behind it. Love the aesthetic.
