Ep 135: Summer Paranormal TV Show Check In

Podcast Powered By Podbean

• We are back, for realz this time. Thank you so much for your patience in our absense and understanding of our absence, those who want to know more about our Mom see here.
• In our return episode we chat about Summer Paranormal TV, some in depth and spoilery (Almighty Johnsons!) and some very briefly (Being Human UK), but we do touch at least on each of our shows that aired this summer. It's a combination of spoiler-free chats and spoiler filled chats (Defiance, The Almighty Johnsons, Under the Doom, Paranormal Witness and Zero Hour), but we do note if we are going to go spoiler on you.
• We hope to be back next week with a discussion on where our fall/winter regulars like Supernatural, Vampire Diaries, Grimm and the like ended and what (if any) predictions we have for the upcoming seasons.

Paranormal Pick of the Week: Face Off Season 5 Premiere

Face Off ~ Season 5 Premiere
Tuesday August 13, 2013 at 9pm on Space

I can't wait for Tuesday! Face Off is easily one of my favourite reality series, I love seeing the inspiration take form in the creative make up that the artist put together. This week we see the series 5 premiere with a special 1 1/2 hour episode.

Here is more about the Season 5 Premiere of Face Off: "FACE OFF returns for a fifth season of mind-blowing special effects ingenuity, offering a new group of rising SFX make-up artists the opportunity to compete and showcase their imagination and creativity. As a member of the multi-generational family dynasty whose name is synonymous with the make-up effects field, actress McKenzie Westmore (Vile) brings expertise to her role as host of the series."

• Heroes of Cosplay Series Premiere Tuesday August 13, 2013 at 10:30pm on Space. Here is a little bit about Heroes of Cosplay: "This tantalizing docu-series lifts the veil on the imaginative world of costume play competition. The series follows cosplayers of all levels, from legend Yaya Han, to rising stars and newbies, as they make a splash at comic book conventions around the country."  
• Whodunnit Season Finale Sunday August 18, 2013 at 8pm on CTV; although not paranormal by any means, I've really enjoyed this murder-mystery reality series all season long. It will be very cool to find out in the finale Who Actually Dunnit.
• Orphan Black Season 1 on CTV starting Friday August 16, 2013 at 9pm.  This home grown science fiction series lands a new spot for even more viewers to enjoy.

Paranormal Pick of the Week: 666 Park Avenue Burns Off Begins on ABC

After some finales and premieres, we've hit a bit of a quiet time for summer TV (but it won't last!), and one good thing about that is we are seeing some of our cancelled shows come back for their burn offs!  I'm really excited to see that we will see the end of many of them, and this weeks Paranormal Pick of the Week is the return of 666 Park Avenue.  They left us on quite a cliffhanger, so I hope there is a good 'previously on' recap! 

666 Park Avenue ~ Remaining Episodes Begin
Saturday June 22, 2013 at 9pm ET on ABC

The slow burn supernatural drama set in a apartment building/once hotel was a big surprize win for us this year, although sadly it seems like it took a little too long to get people hooked and therefore was cancelled.  So far, I haven't seen the burn offs being aired on a Canadian station, so make sure to watch/set PVR's and such on ABC for the show final episodes.

• Whodunnit - Series Premiere Sunday June 23, 2013 at 9pm ET on CTV and ABC; hosted by Gildart Jackson this reality competition show takes 13 guests of a murder mystery to a new level. The series is described as: "Guests will use a variety of crime scene investigation techniques to meticulously uncover evidence in a series of puzzling murders and to ultimately reveal who among them is the killer. Some guests will form partnerships in the competition, while others will choose to go it alone in their quest for the reward of $250,000. The guests will reside on a glamorous estate called Rue Manor with a steward, Butler Giles (Gildart Jackson), and each week must solve a new crime in order to advance in the game. Failure to solve the crime will lead to a guest’s demise, until only three are left. In the final episode, one guest will unmask the killer and take home the $250,000 reward " Sounds interested to me!
• Exploding Sun (Part 2) Monday June 17, 2013 at 9pm  ET on Space; we have the conclusion to the scifi/disaster 2-part movie event that was last weeks pick of the week.
