I think calling this an interview is a stretch, but here's a chat I had with two of the stars from the new film, Juno . This conversation with Ellen Page, (of Hard Candy & X Men fame), and Michael Cera, (of Fox's Arrested Development & Superbad ), meandered from sandwiches to on-set illness to chugging water. We also talked about Bat Mitzvahs in Halifax, though that didn't make it into the final piece. They were both very nice, and after the interview we...
One of the greatest things about talking to Del was that I had the opportunity to ask him a question that's been with me since the early 90s. What is the origin of his hit song Mistadobalina? The answer covers the Church of the SubGenius, the Monkees,...
Del Tha Funkee Homosapien shows an example of the type of dance music he's creating for his side project, "Broken Glass." This is an outtake from my Del Tha Funkee Homosapien Interview.
Del Tha Funkee Homosapien's rhymes are recognized the world over from his phenomenal work on the Gorillaz song, "Clint Eastwood," as well as his many solo projects. Paul Gude sat down with Del to talk about The 11th Hour (Def Jux, 2008), Deltron Event...
I got a chance to catch up with some of the cast of The Golden Compass at the New York premiere, including Eva Green, Sam Elliott, and the young star of the film, Dakota Blue Richards. It was a cold rainy night, but when you pack a tent with...
Grace is Gone was one of my favorite movies from Sundance last year, so I was really excited to talk to John Cusack about the movie. He gives a great performance as do the two young girls playing his daughters. Since I saw the film last...
Chris Jericho shows Paul Gude a little-known wrestling training technique: the hack squat.
Paul Gude sat down with New York Times bestselling author Chris Jericho to talk about wrestling, his budding acting career, and the supernatural powers of Kenny Rodgers. Imagine that This is Spinal Tap was about wrestling—and true...Heavyweight...
Boaz caught up with director Jason Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody in New York, and talked with them about their new film- Juno. What was their first meeting like? How many countries had Diablo visited in the past 36 hours? What...
This was probably one of the most pleasant premieres I have ever covered. We're usually stuck at the end of a line of twenty-some media outlets, where we're easily snubbed by publicists and ignored by their clients. At the Golden Compass...
Just finished the junket for Revolver. After reading more about this movie, and talking to the people who made it, I really want to see this one again. But first, the juknet report: So I got there at 10:30AM, ready to talk to Vincent...
Saw Juno and Revolver last night. They were back to back screenings, which can be exhausting, (though at Sundance I often do back-to-back-to-back screenings), and I think my experience at the second screening may have suffered becuase of it......
I just saw Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova of The Swell Season, (and the movie Once), at the Union Square holiday market. I went up to them and had this slightly awkward conversation: Me: Hey, you're the Swell Season. Them: Yeah. Me: I just saw...
The Tiger Lillies have made deals with major record lables. They have been praised by critics and nominated for a Grammy. Still, finding their CDs in your local record store may prove a difficult task, and you're not likely to hear them on...
Went into starbucks this morning, looking for a place to set up my laptop. See an open seat, head over to it, and then a big guy sits down in it. Alec Baldwin just stole my seat.
