Nick takes the mic tonight to tell us his views on interactive web advertisements, the definition of web series, if our audio engineer should join us on the podcast, and more. Eventually he lets Candice join the conversation.
In our newest, jam packed episode we review Gold The Series and Night of the Zombie King, both created by David Nett, and also both available at the same website! We are very busy people, one less click means a lot.
But before that Nick mentions this article written by J. Warren "What is a Web Series?" Some great points are brought up. We want to talk about it, so please share your opinions with us.
But wait, that's not all! We also have a brief addendum to our heated debate about Ruby Skye P.I. You'll have to listen to find out what else Nick needs to say about what so far has seemed to be his least favourite show.
That's still not everything! We saved the best for last and make a revisit to CELL: The Web Series now that Nick has watched the final episodes of this award winning show.
You can have all this and more for the low, low price of absolutely nothing! We accept payment by comment, Facebook, Twitter and email at limitedreleasepodcast at gmail dot com

Congratulations to some of our favourite shows!
The Second Annual Los Angeles Web Fest happened this past weekend and it appears they really liked all the shows they aired! And a number that we have reviewed and loved here at Limited Release.
Some of our favourite shows, including The Virgin Mattress, CELL: The Web Series, Out with Dad, Ruby Skye P.I. and Night of the Zombie King (reviewed in our upcoming episode) were all awarded Sunday night.
The accolades were many including Outstanding Lead Actor and Actress in a number of genres, Outstanding Writing, Cinematography, Directing and a number of awards for score.
There are too many awards to list them all, but our brethren across the pond, Those Video Guys, have done a good job of posting them all on their site.
Have a look and discover many new web series!

Episode, the Eighth
Ah, sweet darkness of night, how we missed you. Never again will we record during the day, and I think you'll be able to tell the difference in this week's episode. Step inside our cushy womb and join us!
In my search for something new, something yet undiscovered (in my books), I scoured the internet for a noteworthy documentary web series. Ironically, my search ended with another man's own search. Jean Baptiste is chronicling his manhunt for a con artist who took him with sob story. This becomes the story for Where is Gary?, a documentary series with a look into the game of con artists.
Then the gloves come off. My co-host suggested something lighter this time around, Ruby Skye P.I., the self-described "comedy web series for tweens" (that should say enough about it). It should be pointed out that in the conceptual days of this podcast, the two of us discovered that when discussing movies, tv shows, anything really, we disagreed...a lot...no bullshit, a LOT. Constantly. Loudly. And to our friends' astounded amusement usually. Sometimes it would get ugly. This is a taste of that ugly. Enjoy!

Update: Since the recording of this episode of Limited Release, Candice and I have resolved our differences. We are currently working on strengthening our friendship and look forward to many peaceful, sensible discussions on independent entertainment for years to come.
...nah, total bullshit. We continue to irritate the crap out of each other.

Episode, the Seventh
This episode is as different from the rest as day is from night. Mostly because we had to record during daytime hours like normal human beings, unlike the usual vampire-like schedule we tend to keep. We've got sunshine, loud neighbours' music and cookies! Never again though, we'll try to do it in the evening from now on.
We bask in the aftermath of the great awards show...no, not THAT one. The 2nd Annual Indie Soap Awards went down this past Monday, with shows like Out with Dad and Pretty each going home (coming home?) with a win. Before they were famous, they were first on LR. Coincidence? By the way, the advantage to an awards show being focused on web series rather than Hollywood is that there's less importance placed on what everybody's wearing and more on, you know, the talent.
Speaking of the show, we're now available on iTunes. So you Apple tarts out there can easily pick up the latest episodes, toss 'em on your iPod and thereby take us wherever you go in your pocket. Creepy, eh?
A while back we noted a film-turned-web series, No Clean Break, which could be a sign that even Hollywood's future lies in web series. With big names like David Carradine and Michael Madsen attached, we take a look at how the production is making the jump from small screen to...smaller screen.
Next up on the block, something with a little more scramble to the egg: Cell. A bit of a mind-bender to a somewhat familiar story, it finds its character waking up caged, confused and held prisoner by a madman. But who hasn't had a Saturday night go that route, am I right?...Right?
Now that we're on iTunes, we are in need of a logo. A singular image to sum up our thousand words, so to speak. If you feel artistically-inclined, you too could achieve infamy like we have through LR. At the very least, give us your suggestions so we could can use them as input for the design. Or include a sultry photo of yourself in lingerie. All are good suggestions.

Welcome to our New Listeners
Judging by our stats in the last couple of weeks we have lots of new listeners! And you guys are going back to the beginning and listening to all of our episodes.
Welcome to all of you. Please let us know what you think of our show. You can email us at limitedreleasepodcast at gmail dot com. Or leave a comment here. Though it seems to be a losing battle trying to stop the texts to Candice's phone! I mean really, just because we know you doesn't mean you get special treatment.
Thank you all for listening. Our list of shows we want to watch just keeps getting longer and longer so we plan to keep podcasting forever, or a while at least. Thanks for coming along on the ride.

Episode, The Sixth
In our newest episode Nick has challenged all of our listeners to let us know what you think he looks like. Yes, we all come to the same conclusion that he has never looked at our page here. Let's not tell him his photo is readily available, let's just entertain him and describe him below in the comments.
We share some feedback this week from our listeners. We want to share more, so please let us know what you think. Comment below, tweet us @lmtdrelease , join our Facebook page and our discussions, or email us at limitedreleasepodcast@gmail.com. Despite Candice's comments, while we appreciate comments by text, please don't make it a habit, go online and tell the world.! Yeah, we're talking to you Kris, Scott and Nathaniel!
This episode we cover a couple of sex positive shows. One about making porn movies and one about a young teenage girl dealing with coming out of the closet to her friends and family.
Blue Movies, while being based on the set of porn films, is surprisingly funny and not nearly as pornographic as you would think! Amazing use of non-nudity in this one.
Big winner of the week, however, and it seems of our entire show so far, is Out With Dad. Hear us, both masculine and feminine, get melodramatic about this teen centred show.
Also, take a quick peek at the shows nominated in the 2nd Annual Indie Soap Awards. Some of our favourites, including Out With Dad and Pretty the Series are up for some awards. Congrats to all the web series creators, cast and crew, and good luck!

Episode, the Fifth
Nick's heart gets stomped on and crushed and before we even start talking about this week's series! He is now taking bids on both his friendship and his heart. Someone please help him out because co-host Candice is cold and just not buying.
We start this episode by chatting about a short film Nick found by a company from British Columbia, Growing Up Julianne.
Moving on to web series we talk The Virgin Mattress a fun little series that lead to a discussion about the how of watching web series.
There are two types of web series watchers, the ones who watch each new episode as they are released and the ones who wait until a bunch of episodes have been released and watch them all in a row. Which are you?
Then we move on to Tyranny a stylistic show with a sci-fi conspiracy. This one really drew the line in the sand. The first show we really didn't agree on. Who loved it and who hated it? Listen and find out. And let us know what you think of the show!
We also discuss the how of storytelling for web series. Web series is a very new medium and people are still testing out how to tell a serialized story over a long time, in short bursts. Watch out, we start dissecting in this episode.
Let us know, how do you watch your web series? And where do you watch them, on their home pages, on YouTube, on web tv networks? We want to know.

Episode, The Third
What happens when you put three Canadian superhero fans in a room together? We talk about Canadian superhero web series. Listen or download now!
But first we introduce our special guest host, Vamp from Complete Geek Radio, aka Lovina. Since we bring her up in each episode we thought we should give her a chance to defend herself!
This time around we watched a couple of homegrown, made in Canada, web series, Heroes of the North and Tights and Fights.
We also spend a considerable amount of time breaking our own rule and talking Hollywood gossip.
Merry Fucking Christmas and Welcome to 2011, Bitches!
