1 Comment

From me at Blogcritics, based on the Blogtalkradio interview:

  • Rent-a-Goalie Is As Heart-Filled As It Is Fart-Filled
    “Rent-a-Goalie, which just finished production on a third season set to air in the fall, is an ensemble comedy centred around Cake, a recovered-from-every-imaginable-addiction hockey nut who runs his replacement goalie service out of Cafe Primo in Toronto’s Little Italy. Cake lives by The Code, his personal philosophy on life that keeps him out of trouble. Almost.” Read more.
