It’s the Groundhog Day edition, as Kent and Michelle curse the little rodents and their unwelcome extended winter. Take a front row seat as Michelle gives a rundown of some of the Oscar nominees; Kent talks about stuff that costs way too much; reflections on the 1996 live-action version of 101 Dalmatians; the Dixons fight over the films of James Cameron; and Kent eats his first Twinkie ever… seriously!

Spirituality and media relations

I’m in media relations full time as my career and I also have a strong personal faith. But…YIKES!!

This video, from Ragan Communications, demonstrates an oddly obtuse way to dodge a reporter’s question. He gets full point for creativity, but doesn’t fare as well on the public stage.

It’s time to Couche diem. Join Kent and Michelle for a half hour of marital bliss, as they look back on the last decade in film, entertainment news, and milestones in their own lives. Michelle takes the driver’s seat from a slightly sluggish Kent to recap highlights from the Golden Globes; take a look at the Disney family gem Bridge to Terabithia; hang out with Kermit and the gang as they search for Muppets From Space; and share first impressions of Fox’s new series Human Target.

It’s a new year which finds Kent and Michelle inventing new words, opening a dojang, undertaking behavior modifications, catching up on holiday movies — (Avatar, Fantastic Mr. Fox, 2012, The Hangover), Glee marathoning, making fun of Mike Tyson, and recovering from a kick to the Christmas testicles.

Goodbye 2009…it’s been fun!

It was stinking cold but that didn’t stop folks from turning out en masse to check out the fireworks in downtown Edmonton.  Well hello there 2010…looking forward to getting to know you.
