Trailer Park Boys

Trailer Park Boys

While you weren’t paying attention, Bubbles, Julian and Ricky, the reprobates that make up the Trailer Park Boys, have gone international.

Thanks to a new deal with Netflix for multiple seasons and a cussin’ movie called SwearNet the boys are poised to critical mass. That, or at least get the opportunity to get drunk and stoned in strange places.

With this in mind I had the opportunity to talk about music with the Boys for AUX. Some of the topics covered: Rush, Loverboy, Shania Twain and the trailer park hip-hop genre.

Not included in the interview: my attempts to get them to compare Joel Plaskett to Groot.

The cast will include the likes of Guardians Of The Galaxy breakout wrestle-star Bautista and Canada’s favourite MMAer Georges St. Pierre, amongst others.

Because we don’t really trust Hollywood, Sarah checked out the martial arts creds for some of the other cast members to make sure they’re going to bring the real. It turns out this film could be seriously legit.
