Episode 233: Richard Harmon, Emilija Baranac, Jennifer Tong and David Turko
Fakes is the story of two best friends – played by Emilija Baranac and Jennifer Tong – who accidentally build one of the largest fake ID empires in North America. Friend-of-the-podcast Richard Harmon is Tryst, who might or might not be something of a dirtbag. There’s a lot to love about this comedy-drama, the 10 episodes of which hit CBC Gem (in Canada) and Netflix (outside of Canada) earlier this month. It was filmed and set in Vancouver, and it’s rich with Metro Vancouver talent. It’s funny and exciting, smart and well-acted, and moves really fast. It’s well-titled; fakes aren’t just the titular IDs, but also the fronts we put up to protect ourselves. It’s big stuff for 21-minute episodes!
In our Fall 2022 season opener, Fakes stars Emilija Baranac, Jennifer Tong, and Richard Harmon, and showrunner David Turko join Sabrina Rani Furminger to talk perception, deception, and all the fun stuff that makes Fakes so addictive.
