So The Flash solo movie is still a thing? Not going to lie I totally forgot about that one. In the typical DC fashion, there has been a decent amount of action attached to the project. People have come and gone. Scripts have been written then scrapped. But through a series of trials and tribulations, things may be coming together. First, let me update you on the most recent dose of DC drama… the project’s creators, John Francis Daley and Johnathan Goldstein have moved on to greener pastures. Ezra Miller and Grant Morrison wrote a treatment which turned out to…

Oh the fifteen year old me was in heaven this past Saturday night as the Misfits brought another one of their ten court ordered performances to the City Of Angels. It was Glenn Danzig, Jerry Only, Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein, and Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo on stage for just shy of two hours playing the better part of their catalogue to a seventy percent full venue on a beautiful night in the Banc Of California Stadium. While the image of former punk rockers turned parents dancing to “Hybrid Moments” with their kids in the stands of a twenty two thousand…

For a moment I was thinking this whole Bill & Ted Face The Music thing was an elaborate internet prank designed my some evil super-genius with a liking for 80’s and 90’s nostalgia. Even though the script has been written, actors have been cast, financing has been secured, I thought this whole project would never actually make it to production. But I was wrong, and I’ve never been more happy about it. The folks at ComicBook.com found a tweet from Ed Solomon, he’s a dude is a writer of BT3 as well as the first two movies that provided a…

The record store is a dying beauty of Americana while this article will close with the slightest dash of optimism, everything you read between now and is something that I’m not happy to be writing about. Amoeba Music on Sunset Boulevard is closing. ABC7.com reported that on June 25th the Los Angeles City Council voted to approve plans demolishing the iconic store to build a 26-story apartment building. The property will contact 232 residential units, with 10 of them reserved for low income families. There will also be commercial space, open space, and I’m sure I won’t be affording it…

If you’re the Cartoon Network, it’s either the most on the nose thing ever to schedule a band that was the central focus of one of your shows, to headline your own music festival… or it’s a marketing genius! Let’s hope for the latter as the lineup for the second installment of Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim Festival dropped today and right at the top of the bill are the Deathklok. You might remember them as the stars of Metalocalypse, a classic animated series about an ungodly successful death metal band. Yes, after recovering from what I’m assuming is the biggest…

Get ready indie-rock music snobs (myself included)… 2019 is going to be the year that our beloved darling of non-mainstream ska pop bliss called Vampire Weekend will chart a course to soon be the biggest band in the world. Yes, the days of you and only a couple of your cool friends knowing about Vampire Weekend are gone. Personally I’m surprised because I knew they were good, I just didn’t think they’d get this good. The difference between their self titled debut and Father Of The Bride is astronomical. It’s almost two different bands except for the fact that under…

No, Jason Momoa and Peter Dinklage are not actually twins separated at birth… but what if they were? Kind of sounds like the premise of a 1988 movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. Two dudes, completely different, including size, appearance, yet they are twins. Then, in your typical Hollywood fashion, the brothers are reunited and go figure, each one is able to help the other, which leads to a blossoming relationship. Yes, that is a brief, but surprisingly accurate three sentence description of the classic comedy. Though the wheels of production haven’t started spinning yet, the Aquaman studhorse expressed…

So the Halloween franchise got a fresh shot of success with its most recent installment.. even I was surprised at how well David Gordon Green and Danny McBride handled rebooting my favorite of all the slasher series. Apparently a whole bunch of other people thought the movie was pretty good. I don’t remember reading any scathing reviews, seeing Rotten Tomatoes kill the opening weekend, plus my buddy Jason liked it and he hates everything. I should probably add Halloween made $255 million dollars worldwide. And when you are hot, you ride that son-of-a-bitch for all its worth. Which brings me…

If you’re reading this I would like for you to either get down on one knee, bow your heads, whatever bodily position you usually take, and give a shout out to the higher power that’s above, below, or surface level. Why acknowledge our deities now? To put it in the simple King’s English… the Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie will be rated “R”. Collider.com along with various media outlets reported on this recent development which has me excited well beyond the obvious reasons of “F” bombs and more realistic violence. Of course “F” bombs are great in movies, I’m sure we’ll…

Since 2016 I was seriously under the impression that Glen Danzig and Jerry Only squashed their beef and reunited The Misfits to be a regular touring band again. Maybe make a new record, or at least be a group who plays a couple shows and festivals every year from now until Danzig’s voice could no longer pull off the opening verse of “Last Caress”. As it turns out, I was wrong. Dead wrong. In a June 12th article from ConsequenceOfSound.net we now know the reason behind the recent wave of Misfits concerts and go figure, it’s pretty much the only…
