Cooking With Gerry – Episode #2: Poutine

Jay C. — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 07:59:29 +0000

Seeing as Film Junk is single-handedly responsible for the rise in popularity of poutine in North America, we figured we should finally lay out the ground rules on how to make the ultimate poutine dish. For those who don't know, poutine is a delicious French Canadian delicacy which consists of french fries topped with cheese curds and brown gravy. Who better to demonstrate the best method of preparing this traditional Canadian treat than our own Reed Farrington! This weekend was a monumental occasion as Reed resurrected his 20 year old cooking show Cooking With Gerry, the first episode of which aired way back in 1989. This could be a record for the longest length of time between episodes of ANY show. Check it out after the jump!

Video Podcast: A Trip to the Drive-In

Sean — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 15:18:42 +0000

As most of you know, we're big fans of the drive-in here at Film Junk, and during the summer we usually see a lot of movies there. We're fortunate enough to have a drive-in fairly close by where we live, but I know some people aren't as lucky, and many haven't even been to one before. So when we went to the drive-in a couple of months ago for a four-movie marathon, I decided to bring along a camera to document the occasion. Now before anyone says anything, I should point out that unfortunately I did not capture the ritualistic eating of poutine on camera. I know, it's inexcusable. I'll get it next year. Also, another quick disclaimer: don't expect the quality of this video to be as good as any of the stuff Jay has shot and edited for Film Junk previously. I shot it on a Flip and edited it with Windows Movie Maker, so it's pretty rough around the edges. Deal with it!

Our Short Horror/Comedy ‘Colore non Vedenti’ is Officially Online!

Jay C. — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 19:11:01 +0000

It's way overdue, but our short film project 'Colore Non Vedenti' is now officially complete and online! What started off as a ten minute Film Junk short for Halloween of '08 slowly grew into something a little bigger than expected, resulting in a months long process that was definitely a fun learning experience. A big thanks to all of those who helped get this thing finished -- be sure to read the end credits! -- and a big thanks to the Film Junkies who waited patiently for this to finally come to fruition! I hope you guys enjoy it. You can check out the final film embedded below or head to www.colorenonvedenti.com, where you'll also find multiple commentary tracks -- featuring Jay, Sean, Reed (Gerry), Tom Baychuck, Roman and star David Tompa -- and some behind the scenes video diaries! This whole thing was basically an exercise in no-budget filmmaking that gave us an opportunity to be creative and experiment, and I love the idea of throwing these things up online for everyone to see. I hope you enjoy!

Cantankerous Episode #7: Reed’s House – A Video Tour

Jay C. — Mon, 11 May 2009 17:32:12 +0000

It's been a long time coming, but you guys are in for a real treat. Last weekend myself, Sean and our good friend Roman paid Reed Farrington a visit to the Shatcave (a.k.a. Reed's House). We brought some gear and decided to lay down a very special VIDEO edition of Cantankerous, giving you all what you so badly need: a tour of Reed's House. What ensued was an intimate look into the soul of a man whose on-camera downward spiral into the realm of insanity left us questioning both his motives and our own universal relevance. Initially, Reed came across as an endearing and gracious host, but gradually his charms receded, letting his dark side seep through. Hoarding stuffed creatures for his own amusement. Single-handedly destroying entire colonies of lower life forms, simply to prolong the existence of his precious First Contact chocolate bars. A self-admitted psychopath and megalomaniac, 'Reed's House' provides a candid and disturbing portrait of one of the 20th century's most notorious (action) figures. Enjoy! Like what you see?

Sundance Video Podcast #4: Brooklyn’s Finest, Burma VJ, Big River Man and Paper Heart

Sean — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 04:29:24 +0000

Hey guys, here's the final video podcast that Jay and I recorded from Sundance. I couldn't post it right away because it was too long for YouTube, so I decided to re-edit it and add in a little bit of b-roll footage as well. It would have been up sooner except YouTube also objected to my use of copyrighted music, which seems like a joke considering all the other videos I've seen out there using unlicensed tunes. Whatever. I suppose the Spin Doctors have to get paid somehow.

Sundance Video Podcast #1: En Route to Park City

Sean — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 21:12:01 +0000

The Sundance Film Festival kicks off later today, and Jay and I are here in Utah ready to take whatever she's willing to give. Unfortunately we're only going to be here for a short time, but we're determined to get the most out of it. Regular posts will probably be sporadic for the next few days, but look out for some reviews and video podcasts coming your way real soon. To get things started, here's a video of me on the drive in to Park City talking briefly about some of the movies we're looking forward to at the festival.
