Glosslip Interviews Singer Serena Ryder, Actor Nate Hartley, Director Mitch Rouse Today, 2:00pm EDT
For those regulars here at Glosslip, we do a daily radio show on BlogTalkRadio’s BTR Today hosted by Shaun Daily. Well today, while Shaun is busy meeting Democratic Presidential Nominee BARACK OBAMA (yeah, that’s right our potential future PREZ) Eric Olsen founder and publisher of Blogcritics.org and Dawn Olsen of Glosslip will be taking over Shaun’s show and do we have an amazing line-up of guests.
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO SHOW!
First up, young actor Nate Hartley of the hilarious Owen Wilson film Drillbit Taylor. Nate, who was brilliant as the awkward and skinny teen Wade, starred along side Wilson, and fellow teen actor Troy Gentile and Josh Peck (”Drake and Josh,” Nickelodeon) in a comedy reminiscent of the 80’s classic “My Bodyguard.” The film centers around three nerdy boys entering their first year of high school where they are immediately singled out by the school bully Filkins (Alex Frost, who is more than a little creepy in this role) and Ronnie, his side-kick played by the great Josh Peck (we love “Drake and Josh” in our house) and are viciously harassed. The boys, joined by an even geekier kid, Emmet (David Dorfman) decide to hire a bodyguard. Due to financial constraints, they end up hiring “Drillbit Taylor” played by Owen Wilson, an AWOL Army guy who also happens to be homeless. Hilarity ensues.
The film’s release was unfortunately around the time of Owen’s suicide drama and didn’t get nearly the recognition it deserved. We watched it last night and it really is very funny, and Nate, who is definitely the co-star of the film is a up and coming talent, as Hollywood seems to be doing more of these teen-oriented films. Nate’s official website here, and his YouTube page with his video projects. Check it out.
Our second guest, straight off her fabulous performance at Bonnaroo, is Serena Ryder the Canadian songstress whose folk meet rock sound is both timeless and catchy. We will be featuring a couple of Serena’s songs off her latest album, Told You In A Whispered Song. Serena reminds me of a cross between Amy Winehouse and Joni Mitchell. She has the throaty warble of Winehouse (minus the emphysema wheeze) and the story-telling skills of Mitchell. Better keep your eye on Ms. Ryder, she’s destined for great things. Serena’s MySpace page.
And finally, our third guest is actor, director and screenwriter Mitch Rouse, creator of Strangers With Candy and of the dark comedy film “Employee Of The Month” starring Matt Dillon and has appeared on the awesome Reno 911!. Mitch’s new project, Factory premiering on Spike TV on June 29th at 10:00pm, is a comedy about four small-town guys, who drink beer and dream big. Below is a trailer for the show.
