My brother graciously laced up a mask to star in what (I think) is our best episode so far.  It was hilarious to edit and discover all the scene-stealing shenanigans going on behind my back.  What’s more, the twist at the end (Jarito’s idea), sets us up with plenty of gags upon his (hopefully soon) return.

It’s exciting to look back and see the growth the show’s had in three months.  I know it’s only an internet cooking show, but it’s one with its own story-world, which grows with every episode – new characters, catchphrases, callbacks, sound and visual motifs.  Can’t wait to witness what directions the next seven episodes take!

Big shout-out to our executive producer (and camera operator) Louise – each shoot gets more elaborate, but she’s climbing that learning curve like a drug-pumped Lance Armstrong up a French hill.

After a two and a half week hiatus (brought on by guest chef cancellations, and a desire to perfect our cookie recipe), episode six is here.  This is the first to include Miguel in anything other than the post-episode sting.  Now he’s had his official “coming out”, expect to see a lot more of him – it’s fun to have jokes you can bounce off someone… even if that someone is a creepy hand-puppet/cameraman.

What better performer for our second night shoot than cultured vampire Marc Robertson? We had heaps of fun testing some mood(y) lighting.  Watch out for the glimmer of keyboard that flashes up in the back window around the 1.20 mark – pure cinema.

BMA cover-boy and chief Cracked Actor Sebastian Field joined us for a lazy drive down by the lake.  To me this song sounds like Marc Bolan transmitted back from Mars.  Can’t wait for Cracked Actor to release the band-assisted version.

A new Slimer Sessions is now up.  One of our personal favourites – The Cashews performing Tuggeranong Parkway… on the Tuggeranong Parkway –  a stroke of genius I wish I could claim credit for (it was Alison’s idea).
