The Outskirts of The Outskirts
We’re back with Ep 5 of The Outskirts - our creepy serialized show within the world of The Town Show. Mark and Ryan start things off with a scene between the two undercover cops - Carol and “The Sad Man” racing through the desert on a silent ATV where they encounter a Mad Max-esque encampment. Then they jump over to a scene with our main character Engle - who is faked his death and the man who is trying to change his identity for him - Shadow Spike. And last but not least we end with a very steamy scene with the Pig Man, and we end on a thrilling cliff hanger - all wrapped up in Ep 6 of The Outskirts - the Season 1 finale.
Death, Taxes, and Witches w/ Kayla Lorette
Actor and writer Kayla Lorette (Netflix’s Wayward ) joins Mark and Ryan to talk about growing up in Pamela Anderson’s home town of Ladysmith, BC. She talks about her cool drama teacher, her high school improv team that didn’t wear shoes, and the pseudo science film What the Bleep Do We Know!? She also talks about her deep connection with the goth kids of Vancouver Island. For our town she builds a grocery story with a wine bar call The Spirits of Grocery, a beach where teens hang out, a we see a tax dispute between local magicians and an order of witches.
Grand Prank Revenge w/ Taz Van Rassel
Mark and Ryan welcome back Taz Van Rassel (The Sunday Service), the first member of the Three Timer Club! He talks about the town of Prince George, BC where he used to visit his grandparents. He talks about Mr PG - the famous log statue. Then the conversation quickly turns to pranks of all scales - from a garbage juice prank to the infamous Boner Satan Statue of Vancouver. In our town he builds a credit union, a very suggestive sculpture, and we follow a very elaborate prank that plays out for years in our town.
