Show Notes

Josh Stafford is co-owner and geek-in-chief of the Mayfair Theatre in Ottawa, a classic single-screen independent cinema that opened in 1932. He co-hosts the popular weekly Mayfair Theatre Podcast, which passed 300 episodes at the end of 2020.

He is also the writer of Zomkeys, which has 3 issues of self contained stories published from Winter Star Comics. He had a story (co-written by Howard Wong) published in Hogtown Horror, and a story included in the digital anthology Strange Romance.  He also wrote the DC Super Hero Girls episode titled #FlashForwardFlashBack. Current comic book projects includes the story Red Giant in the anthology Flip, Volume 2, and the five issue horror miniseries Damned Cursed Children (co-written by Howard Wong), published by Source Point Press.

Josh chose a fantastic Canadian horror flick, that neither Julia or Teri had seen, called Ginger Snaps (2000). It's the coming of age story of two death-obsessed sisters who have to deal with more than just puberty...when one of the sisters, the red-headed one aptly named Ginger, gets bitten by a werewolf. Will she snap or can the sisters survive!?

We are thrilled to have Josh on our show, and are proud to help shout out his wonderful theater, comics and podcast!
