Episode 19 - Leigh Whannell

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE ON ITUNES HERE

In this new episode I talked with writer, actor, and producer, Leigh Whannell.


Leigh is best known for his work writing and acting in the Saw and Insidious films. 









I talked to Leigh about his new film "The Mule" that is premiering at SXSW on Sunday, March 9th.


The official new poster for the film, "The Mule"

Here is the synopsis for the film: It's 1983. A naive man with lethal narcotics hidden in his stomach is detained by Australian Federal Police. Alone and afraid, ‘the Mule’ makes a desperate choice; to defy his bodily functions and withhold the evidence...literally. And by doing so becomes a 'human time-bomb'; dragging cops, criminals and concerned family into his impossible escapade. Inspired by true events, THE MULE is directed by Angus Sampson and Tony Mahony, with a darkly comic screenplay by Sampson, Leigh Whannell (Saw, Insidious), and Jaime Browne. The film stars Hugo Weaving alongside Sampson and Whannell with an ensemble cast including Ewen Leslie, Geoff Morrell, Georgina Haig, Noni Hazlehurst and John Noble.

It was great to talk to Leigh about The Mule. Leigh and I also talk about the direction we see filmmaking going and how we see Cinema evolving in the future.

Leigh also let's us in a a new film that he's working on, but you will have to listen to the episode to find out what that is.

A special Thanks for Leigh Whannell for taking the time out of his busy schedule to talk with me about "The Mule".  Get out and see it at SXSW this weekend and when it comes to a town near you. As soon as the trailer is released, we will share the trailer with all of you so you can see just how great this film is going to be! Thanks again, Leigh!

You can see "The Mule" premiering this Sunday March 9th at SXSW as well as the following screening times:

Episode 18 - Oscar Edition with Jimmy Martin

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE ON ITUNES HERE 

This episode of On the Mic is a special Oscar edition!


I sat down with President of the Utah Film Critics Association, Jimmy Martin. Jimmy is also a member of the GeekShow Podcast Panel, as well as one of the co-hosts of Big Movie Mouth-Off on Comcast. 


Jimmy Martin

Jimmy and I went through all of the Oscar categories and made our winner picks. There was a lot that we agreed on, but a lot that we were totally opposite on. It was great to talk through all of the nominees and dig into the technical aspect of movie making. 

Jimmy and I also talked about his time at the Critics Choice Awards, and how he managed to share a beer with Tom Hanks!


In case you're living under a rock and hadn't heard, Ellen DeGeneres is hosting this years Oscars! I am really excited for Ellen to be hosting this year! I absolutely love Ellen and know she is going to kill it! 

I was really bummed to not be out in LA this weekend for all of the Oscar festivities. It's always such a great time and I'm really missing LA right now, but I can't wait to be back in the next few months. 


If you are in Salt Lake City like I am this Oscar weekend, get out to Brewvies Cinema Pub and join Jimmy and Jeff Vice to watch the Oscars for their Oscars Extravaganza!

Follow our picks below! We will up date these following the Oscars with the winners. 


Enjoy the episode!
