Matthew returns for our post mortem on Mystery, Alaska (1999), a movie that almost certainly would’ve been better if it had been more depressing. Matthew gives me the hockey fan’s perspective on the gameplay in the movie, and I lament multiple times that no one gets any hot sauce in their jock straps. Also, we spend more time than I usually allow Googling on mic, so... sorry? Matthew runs the Videodrunk Film Festival in Oshawa, Ontario, which is basically Toronto for all us Yanks (do Canadians call Americans Yanks? Eh). If you’re a filmmaker, make sure you listen all the way through, because Matthew has a special treat for you at the end of the chat!

Mystery, Alaska - Part 2 (with Matthew Rooney)

My friend Matthew Rooney joins the podcast to talk about a movie I must have seen the trailer for on a dozen different Blockbuster rentals, Mystery, Alaska (1999). He also explains to me the stereotype about Canadians and hockey, and we commiserate over the plague of deliberately loud cars and motorcycles. I let him in on the secret behind the “Florida man” trope, and we take turns reading the names of Canadian cities off a map. I promise, it’s more entertaining than it sounds (but not by much).  Matthew runs the Videodrunk Film Festival in Oshawa, Ontario, which, I’m told, is in the greater Toronto area. Videodrunk is an indie/underground fest where “amateurs, students, DIYers and pros all are treated as equals” — and their submissions are open right now! Check them out if you have a punk-rock movie, and you’re proud of its rough edges. Also check them out if you have a million-dollar “indie” flick starring Zach Braff. I’m sure Matthew would be tickled to see that.
