Living Under Marshall Law 3/21/08: Welcome to Llakor Lane

Michael Ryan, known in some circles as Llakor, is a man of many interests.  In addition to being one of the folks behind the Young Cuts film festival in Montreal, he's also a long-time fan of comics who owned his own shop for five years.  These days, in addition to the film festival, Ryan works for the International Wrestling Syndicate out of Montreal as a ring announcer, on-air personality, and writer...among other things.  For almost two hours, Mike talks (a lot..wink) about film, comics and wrestling.  He provides advice for young filmmakers, takes me to task for not knowing Princess Projectra (seriously), seeks solace for the guilt Canadians feel over Obama's loss in Ohio (seriously), and also touches upon his time in IWS with some absolutely wonderful stories - particularly the one involving Sid and a little person.  For those worried, the wrestling talk focuses more on the business end of things and what a company in the industry seeks to do to put people in the seats rather than just geeking out over the world of fake fighting.  (Size:  37.2 MB; Runtime:  1 hour 48 minutes)
