We had the pleasure of speaking with the talented musician I Ya Toyah recently. Her music is a unique blend of electronic, industrial, darkwave, and alternative that is accessible and deeply personal. She is a driven and passionate artist, and her conversation was both insightful and entertaining. I Ya Toyah's music is a reflection of her own unique perspective on the world. Her lyrics are personal yet universal, and her songs resonate with listeners on a deep level. She is an artist who is not afraid to experiment and push boundaries, and her music is always evolving. During our discussion, we talked about what makes I Ya Toyah's music so special, her creative process, influences, and her plans for the future. This episode of True Fiction is a must-listen for any fan of music that is both innovative and personal.

Years ago I had the good fortune and pleasure to work with a local music producer. His work was amazing and through him I met some amazing musicians. Travis Dillon is definitely one of those musicians. He works playing music on cruise ships and all over the place with his wife in their group, The Moon Dancers.

In this podcast Marshall and Pat (sans Norbert) discuss the 2022 film Triangle of Sadness and repeat the phrase "socio/economic" over and over again. We missed having Norbert and even tried to recall bits of his wisdom that related to this film, but I still think we did a pretty good job. This movie is the first English language film of Swedish writer/director Ruben Östlund. The story is labelled as a black comedy and it definitely has some quirks. BUT IS IT ANY GOOD?

In this review we discuss the 2020 film Extraction. Rotten Tomatoes says, "A black-market mercenary who has nothing to lose is hired to rescue the kidnapped son of an imprisoned international crime lord. But in the murky underworld of weapons dealers and drug traffickers, an already deadly mission approaches the impossible." This movie stars Chris Hemsworth as the mercenary. After watching this film I was surprised that I hadn't really heard any buzz about this. For one thing, when this came out, it was the most expensive movie that Netflix had paid for. Maybe you're curious like me and wonder if this is worth seeing. Well, we give you our rundown in this episode. Have you seen the film? Did you like it or not?
