Podcast appearances and mentions of liam creswick

We've talked about mediocre X-Men films before, so for The New Mutants we decided to try something a little different. Returning guests and X-Men experts Robyn Slack (Quantuum Kickflip) and Olav Rokne (Unofficial Hugo Book Club Blog) face off against seasoned movie punch-up veterans Scott C. Bourgeois and Gregg Beever in an epic movie pitch battle. Liam Creswick judges this winner-take-all I Have Some Notes slugfest. What spoils await the victor? I donno, pride or something.

Liam Creswick choose easily the most colourful and frenetic movie we've attempted to rewrite yet for his first episode as host: Speed Racer.  We spend the bulk of the episode exhausting Lana and Lilly Wachowski for their ability to make interesting choices. Whether they are good choices is up for debate, but they are never boring.  But, with great respect for wild choices, Gregg modifies the mystic surrounding Racer X, Liam cuts the amount of Chim Chim to just Chim and Scott expands the concept into an 8-part mini-series, because Speed Racer is a drug he can't get enough of.

The Green Lantern has got Blake Lively in it and not much else. We're used to watching some colourless DC comic book movies around here, but Green Lantern might be the drabbest. However, the blander the script the greater the challenge, Right? And we've got Edmonton comedian Liam Creswick aboard to light the blackest screenwriting. This episode is bittersweet for us, as it is Colin's swan song as host of the show. As a founding member of I Have Some Notes, Colin helped shape our movie fixing podcast into the hilarious, insightful show it is today. I've always felt Colin's positive energy and brilliant sense of humour set the tone for the show, and probably prevented Scott and I from downing ourselves in the obsessively nerdy details.  We wish Colin and his wife Crystal all the best as their family expands by one more. The show must go on, but there is only one Colin MacIntyre. Thanks for everything buddy, we'll see you again soon, because you are now top of our guest list.

Back in May we played a game attempting to predict the Rotten Tomatoes scored would be for each 2018 summer movies. We played The Price is Right rules, so who ever was closest without going over took the point. All the contestants are back – Colin, Gregg, Scott and Liam Creswick* – to tally up their points and see who best predicted the quality of this year's summer blockbusters. See all the results and follow along with this handy-dandy spread sheet (visit ihavesomenotes.com if you can't use the link in your podcatcher). Weirdly in the episode we kept calling the prediction episode "The Price is Wrong" instead of "Rotten", but I now realize we should have called it "The Price is Ripe" which would've been aces. *The part of Liam Creswick will be played by Danielle Newman

Summer blockbuster season is upon us and we decided to play a game of movie prognostication. We looked at the remaining blockbusters to be released this summer and tried to predict what Rotten Tomatoes score each movie would receive from critics. The rules: be the closest percentage without going over, Price is Right style. You can play too, just send us a message on Twitter or Facebook with your own predictions. We'll return to this episode in September to find out how we all did. Judging by the early buzz from the Solo: A Star Wars Story premiere, we're already VERY wrong. We are once again joined by comedian Liam Creswick for our game of The Price is Rotten. As always, we are a proud member of the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB.

The wait is over. I Have Some Notes is back for its 3rd season of movie improving and we're returning with a series of firsts for the show. The first first is our first Bond film: Moonraker. Yes, the Bond movie that never heard the phrase "less is more." Italian murder caskets? Sure. Super boats? Two please. Space? You bet your ass! Second on the list of firsts is no Colin. Mr. MacIntyre is off being a new daddy and will miss a few episodes, but the talented Scott C. Bourgeois has volunteered to sit in his chair and keep it warm. The last, but probably most important first is that this is our first episode as a member of the Alberta Podcast Network powered by ATB Financial. We're stoked to be joining the Network and its fleet of amazing shows sailing through the digital airwaves. Big thanks to Karen Unland for all her hard work putting the network together and helping to make our passion project more sustainable. Alright, enough preamble. Please join Scott, Gregg, Anita and the hilarious Liam Creswick in fixing James Bond: The Moonrakening!

This month we're wading into the rebellious waters of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. A controversial pick, to be sure, a lot of you love this movie, but that doesn't mean we can tighten the screws a little bit. Plus comedian Liam Creswick joins the cast, and that alone is worth the price of admission. The price is free, by the way, cause we're a podcast. Making money in radio is for chumps! Where was I? Oh yes, the Star War. We examine the which candy the pips on Tarkin's uniform most resemble, lament the missed opportunity that was Saw Gerrera and quibble about the inclusion of past princesses. Enjoy!

We welcome comedian, Liam Creswick, onto this hilarious episode!  Liam tells us stories about working at a comic book store and teaches us about "Magic, the Gathering". We also answer some listener sex questions and invent some new belts. Find Liam at www.liamcreswick.ca

It's Season Finale time, everyone! We recorded this episode live in front of about 50 people in the back room of Happy Harbor Comics in downtown Edmonton. We had a great time doing the show thanks to our outstanding guests. You can actually see the full recap of the show thanks to the work Sandra Der did on Storify. I'm not going to give you the full episode breakdown with time codes and such... Just discover it for yourself, my friends (oh and sorry about some of the sound levels — it was our first live show, after all)! Huge thanks again to Jay and the crew at Happy Harbor, to Owen and the crew at Guru Digital Arts College, and to all our fabulous guests: Dana DiTomaso, Erica Viegas, Liam Creswick, Todd Babiak, Apocalypse Kow and Trent Wilkie. The show was a success because of you. The podcast will return on September 12, with our season four premiere! Click here to download the season finale show directly to your desktop.
