By Jordan Gass-Poore' I want to start out this post by saying that actor Jeremy Sisto's appearance at this year's SXSW was one of the reasons why I wanted to attend... I'm just not going to lie to myself anymore. I've been a huge fan of the former HBO series Six Feet Under since I was a wee high school freshman and would forgo sleep to watch weeknight reruns […]

By Jordan Gass-Poore' I spoke with some of the cast of Austin-shot movie Two Step during SXSW 2014, including stars Skyy Moore, James Landry Hebert (my fellow French last namer) and recent Austin transplant Beth Broderick of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch fame, which I would watch religiously on ABC's TGIF (remember that?) as a child. I also interviewed former and current Austinites, Two Step star Ashley Spillers and the movie's writer/director […]
By Jordan Gass-Poore' I spoke with New Zealand actress Melanie Lynskey about her role as Devon in the romantic comedy We'll Never Have Paris preceding the movie's world premiere during SXSW 2014. The movie, co-directed by Big Bang Theory star Simon Helberg (making his directorial debut) and wife Jocelyn Towne (listen to my interview with Helberg and Towne), is loosely based on the couple's relationship misadventure. The movie is one […]
Hey people of the world wide web! This is the lovely Lady R reporting to you live from behind the keyboard! During SXSW, I got to interview some pretty wonderful bands. On Friday, I traveled with my loving mother to the Audiotree Showcase to watch The Moth and the Flame play and of course stalk...I mean, interview them. TMTF is trio of handsome men from Provo, Utah. The band includes […]
