We are very pleased to share the brand new music video from legendary filmmaker and musician, John Carpenter!

Check out the official description from Sacred Bones Records: Artwork by Boneface. Animation by Liam Brazier. Much has changed in the musical life of renowned composer and director John Carpenter since 2016’s Lost Themes II. Following the release of that album, he went on his first-ever concert tour, performing material from the Lost Themes albums, as well as music from…

Friday, January 8th 2021 marks the airing of the final episode of long-running and respected television gameshow host Alex Trebek, who sadly lost his very pubic battle with pancreatic cancer in 2020. We knew the celebrated personality had been able to record multiple episodes before he needed to step away from the production, and the final of those airs tonight (unless the continual news cycle bumps it). This brings us to a wonderful memory of a prank that Trebek pulled during a Tournament of Champions episode back in 2005, where the host came out for the show’s kickoff not wearing…

We’re still pretty excited that a sequel to Disney’s “Hocus Pocus” is actually happening, and any updates we get about it are most welcome. The original film’s stars are reportedly coming back- Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Doug Jones, and Kathy Najimy- and Adam Shankman is directing.In a recent visit to The Jess Cagle Show on SiriusXM, Najimy (who played vacuum-riding witch Mary Sanderson) gave a semi update on how things are going with the upcoming film. “Sarah [Jessica Parker] and Bette [Midler] and I had like a couple of weeks on the phone talking about the script, and that…

Two stars from STARZ series “Outlander” have a new show on the horizon, one that brings Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish and their travels right to your living room. The very Scottish pair are “Men In Kilts,” which just got a brand new trailer this morning. The 8 episode show will be a true celebration of Scotland, with Heughan (who plays Jamie Fraser on “Outlander”) and McTavish (Jamie’s uncle Dougal Mackenzie) taking viewers on a pretty amazing tour of their homeland.”Men In Kilts” is set to premiere on February 14th, 2021 only on STARZ.

While the world continues to be the chaotic ball of whatever the hell it is right now, it’s nice to have a small bit of pleasant distraction. In this case, a lovely Instagram live conversation between the original “Wonder Woman” Lynda Carter and current Amazonian warrior Princess Gal Gadot.Definitely worth a watch.

Watching the rise and fall of Quibi was a ride. On the surface, the idea was solid enough, considering how much TikTok and Instagram stories have become the norm for attention spans for content. But after a messy rollout, and a fairly expensive and embarrassing shuttering of the Jeffrey Katzenberg company, some of that library may find new life with Roku.After rumors swirled for the last month or so, it was confirmed this morning that Roku has purchased the majority of Quibi’s library. We say majority because some of the daily news shows are not included in the deal.According to…

We are very sad to report the passing of the legendary Tommy Lasorda. Famous manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers for over two decades, Lasorda had an influence on the sport few others in his position ever achieve. He had also been a pitcher and coach, and had been with the team since 1949.Lasorda was 93.He was hospitalized back in November for an undisclosed serious condition, and placed on a ventilator. He was doing better, reportedly, and was sent home earlier this week. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1997.

A personal collection of David Hasselhoff’s various bits of Hollywood ephemera are going up for auction later this month, and one of the pieces is….kind of terrifying. Remember that scene in the “SpongeBob SquarePants” movie where SpongeBob and Patrick ride down the street on a practical-effect sled that is a larger-than-life creation of Hasselhoff during his “Baywatch” heyday? Yeah. That’s one of the things someone could bid on. I think we can all agree one of the most disturbing parts of this is The Hoff’s UGGs. Back in 2014, the Big Dave figure went up for auction to raise money…

We’re pretty excited to see what the upcoming Zack Snyder film “Army of the Dead” for Netflix has in store, and these first look images have some pretty great detail. “Following a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, a group of mercenaries take the ultimate gamble, venturing into the quarantine zone to pull off the greatest heist ever attempted.” Written and direct by Snyder, “Army of the Dead” stars Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Omari Hardwick, Ana De La Reguera, Theo Rossi, Matthias Schweighöfer, Nora Arnezeder, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Garret Dillahunt, Tig Notaro, Raúl Castillo, Huma Qureshi, Samantha Win, Richard Cetrone, and…

In a strange twist of stock market fate, Tesla company founder and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk just passed Amazon’s Jeff Bezos to claim the dubious title of World’s Richest Person. According to a report from Bloomberg, this jockeying for financial positions happened when Tesla, the company named for the brilliant inventor Nikola Tesla, had a 4.8% stock bump this morning. Musk’s worth currently sits at $188.5 billion, which is $1.5 billion more than Bezos.One step closer to being a Bond villain.
