Where did the concept and idea for the show come from? Mike Smith: Yeah, we definitely were conscious of asking “How does it work sober?” and “How does it work when you’re really fucked up?” and we had to make sure that it works in both instances.ĭS: It’s pretty trippy stuff to come up with a show that has Maury Chaykin at the heart of it as a mad scientist. Was that balance something that you always had in your mind when coming up with the show?
MIKE SMITH ACTOR MOVIE
While on a recent stop to promote the show’s release in Toronto, we sat down with the guys to talk about how hard the show was to make, the various and strange battles they had with the network, and how the show plays to people who are sober versus those who are incredibly fucked up.ĭork Shelf: So I watched the movie for the first time the other night completely sober, and while I can see where people could really get into it, but there’s almost this sci-fi kind of element to the story that I noticed that works pretty well if you’re not fucked up.
MIKE SMITH ACTOR FULL
After its initial airing on Showcase Action (and offshoot of the same network that cosigned for Trailer Park Boys) the show has finally come to DVD not as a miniseries, but as a full length feature film that stays closer to what the creators had in mind. It’s a surprisingly sprawling vision and a risky gambit for a sketch comedy show with a continuous plotline. What they end up turning in is an almost indescipherable sketch show that the network and test audiences seem to hate almost in equal amount because they got their entire cast a crew hooked on a powerful blue halucingenic that has convinced all the actors on the show that their characters (be they pirates, blatantly offensive radio DJs, mobsters, World War II soldiers, Irish cops, or whatever) are actual inhabitants of the fictional town of Port Cockerton. O’Neill, Jr.In the gloriously titled miniseries The Drunk and on Drugs Happy Funtime Hour, Smith, Wells, and Tremblay play nearly every character on the show (save for some great character/cameo work from the likes of Amy Sedaris, Jay Baruchel, and the late Maury Chaykin) including themselves, but this time they are three actors hired by a network to create a $15 million comedy extravaganza.

In 2019, comedian and actor Volodymyr Zelensky was elected president with 73.23 percent of the vote. As a leaked telephone recording revealed, Nuland had advocated regime change and wanted the Ukrainian politician Arseniy Yatsenyuk to become prime minister in the new government, which he did. Nuland and Republican Senator John McCain participated in antigovernment demonstrations. The new government in Kiev was pro-Western and anti-Russian to the core, and it contained four high-ranking members who could legitimately be labeled neofascists. . Instead of waiting around for the next election, Yanukovych fled to Russia on February 22, 2014. That decision gave rise to antigovernment demonstrations that escalated over the following three months. Yanukovych rejected a major economic deal he had been negotiating with the EU and decided to accept a $15 billion Russian counteroffer instead. In 2014 the US led a coup that displaced a “democratically-elected” president, Viktor Yanukovych. Case in point: US involvement in Ukraine.
The more powerful a government, the more likely it is to engage in war and conquest. The possibility of the Ukraine-Russia war going nuclear is not trivial.
