Something has been happening in the seedy underbelly of Hollywood for years. Tim Chizmar calls it “The Game,” and if you know, you know. And if you don’t, you’re about to find out. Is it a conspiracy? A hoax? Is it real? It sounds A LOT like the 1997 Michael Douglas movie, “The Game” and even reads a little like a less-violent “Squid Games.” Tim Chizmar was a player, recruited by a fellow Hollywood professional, and he made some serious cash staging disappearances, kidnappings, and S&M scenes. Tim has no idea who runs The Game or what happened to all of the content he created as a player, but he details his 2-year involvement from the moment he joined to his unceremonious exit. He theorizes on who might be behind The Game, why he believes he was chosen, whether he may find himself pulled back in at some point, and what he fears may happen to him for sharing his incredible tale.   Big thanks our sponsors!

October 2, 1990 is a special day in pro wrestling history! It’s the day that Chris Jericho had his first-ever wrestling match! The big event took place at the Ponoka Moose Hall and it was Chris Jericho versus Lance T. (the T stands for Thunder) Storm! They were third on the card in what ended up being a 15-minute time limit draw. Chris runs down the days leading up to the big booking, the drive to the Moose Hall with Bret Como and Mike Lozanski, the scene at the venue when they arrived, and the locker room celebration and conversation post-match. He details the origin of his entrance music that day (Poison’s “Unskinny Bop”), the gimmick he refused to do, the heat caused by his black wrestling boots, and where he got those super cool black & yellow tights (inspired by Stryper)!  Big thanks our sponsors!

He talks about creating and building the special effects used in the film, designing and applying the makeup effects himself, and what it was like to spend 2 days shooting with fans who contributed to the Indiegogo fundraising campaign. He speaks to writing and filming during the pandemic, the film’s 2-hour plus run time, and one-upping the kill scenes from the first “Terrifier” movie. Plus, Damien shares stories from Chris’ one night on set, and having to rethink and reshoot the ending of the film after another movie beat him to the screen with the exact same idea!
