Boom Bye Yeah by Sean Price
Written By: Julian Enghauser Boom Bye Yeah by Sean Price feels like a visceral declaration of war. The track unleashes violent bass and relentless energy, sounding like the perfect soundtrack to a fight between someone wearing brass knuckles and a rabid, chest-beating gorilla. That savage image also matches the song’s cover art from Monkey Barz.
Are you financially prepared for hurricane season?
As we enter what’s predicted to be a dynamic hurricane season, many East Central Florida residents may have an emergency plan, but it’s just as important to make sure you are financially ready.
New rules help address oil and gas pollution, fall short of adequately protecting Colorado communities
Press Contact: Angela Simental, Vice President of Marketing & Communications | 303-605-3483 | angela@conservationco.org Seguido en español DENVER — Colorado’s air quality has ranked among the worst in the world, and this past summer was particularly dire. A staggering 40 days saw our state’s air quality exceed EPA ozone standards, making it one of the most polluted summers in recent memory.
The Meaning Behind The Song: By the Way by Sean Price
The Meaning Behind The Song: “By the Way” by Sean Price “By the Way” is a soulful and introspective song by the late rapper, Sean Price. Released in 2012, this track showcases the artist’s unique storytelling ability and his raw lyrical talent. The song delves into deeply personal themes, addressing issues such as perseverance, street life, and the struggles faced by individuals navigating challenging environments.
I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson makes us stay a little longer with sketch comedy gold
Season 3 may not be as consistent, but it still brings plenty of hilariously weird and uncomfortable situations. It’s difficult to explain to an average human the madness that is I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson. You could say it’s a sketch comedy show that combines surrealist imagery, social satire, and existential dread into tiny bursts of joyful chaos. Or you could point to the title.
Succession ends as it should, with no one happy
One of the best series of the 20s closes on a realistically somber note, where even winning feels like losing. So it was a tragedy after all. Any idea we ever had over the four seasons of Succession that the Roy children could pull this off on any successful level was hilariously misplaced. This was always how these un-serious people would end up: broken, defeated, cursed to the end of their days (or, in Roman’s case, sipping on a martini, alone in a swanky bar).
Logan is sent off in typical Roy fashion in "Church and State"
Shiv & Kendall are still making deals while Roman falls apart as they bid their father a complicated farewell in the penultimate episode of Succession. “Things do happen,” according to Shiv (Sarah Snook) in last week’s tremendous episode, “America Decides.” But do they? For the Roy siblings, the history of Succession tells us that no, nothing will happen to them.
Succession hits uncomfortably close to the real world in "America Decides"
The Roys are all too willing to sacrifice democracy for their own benefit as election returns come in. After living through two traumatizing elections in our real world, “America Decides” may hit closest to home of any Succession episode.
For Succession, it isn't a "Tailgate Party" without explosions
As the election looms, the Roys and their circle try to celebrate. Naturally, it does not go as planned. It’s the eve of a high-stakes presidential election. If the reporting about a firebombing at a campaign office in Phoenix is accurate, it could be a potentially catastrophic day. The United States is on the brink of violent mayhem, and the people running the show are eating beef sliders with American flags sticking out of them.
Succession peddles immortality while Logan's departure still looms large
Kendall struggles to land “Living+” as humiliation threatens to overwhelm him. Succession has frequently received the label “Shakespearean.” In many ways, it’s a term that has lost some significance. If you squint hard enough, one can even compare Bluey to Hamlet. Still, there’s nothing more Shakespearean than a hero confronting the ghost of his father.
Succession pits the Roys against Mattson and, as always, each other
The Roy siblings try to move forward without Logan, starting with the sale to GoJo. In the middle of another excellent on-location Succession episode, Shiv (Sarah Snook) wearily says, “Everything was better a week ago.” It comes off as a line that shows how much she misses her deceased father, but she’s really lamenting the loss of a North Star.
Succession Recap: Hard Goodbyes & Harder Decisions
Unexpected news comes to one of the Roys as the family attempts to move forward. It’s the day after the passing of Logan Roy, and the premise of this whole show truly begins. Who will get the keys to the kingdom of Waystar Royco? Will there be any empire left? Will Karl finally be able to cash out and buy that island with his brother? The cold open gives each of the Roy siblings a moment to themselves.
Succession pulls the rug out from under the Roys & the audience
Logan is gone, but the damage lives on in a lockdown for one of the best TV moments of 2023. Just like that, the king is dead. Not with a dramatic speech or even a glorious, final “fuck off!” Media titan Logan Roy (Brian Cox) takes his last breath on a toilet. It’s so unceremonious it doesn’t even happen on camera, which is the point. Most of us don’t have a satisfying ending or get to say the perfect thing to our loved ones before they pass, even billionaires.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie plays on easy mode
Nintendo collaborates with Illumination Entertainment for an animated Super Mario film that’s faithful to the look of the games, but not the fun. It’s been almost 40 years since that little plumber in the red hat jumped into a warp pipe and into our hearts. Super Mario Bros., released for the original Nintendo system in the US in 1985, is still the perfect video game.
The Roys say it with music in this week's Succession
Cards are laid on the table as Connor’s big day draws near. Succession loves a wedding, but it loves the night before the wedding just as much. The latest episode, “Rehearsal,” is similar to season one’s “Pre-Nuptial” and last season’s “Chiantishire,” not only because they center around a wedding that no one wants to be at (especially the people actually getting married) but also perfectly sets the table to get us salivating for the full buffet ahead.
The Succession season 4 premiere sees the kids banding together against a flagging Logan
The era of The Disgusting Brothers has begun. Facing the end is tough on the soul, even for people who don’t have much of one. We’re at the beginning of the end for Succession, and two of its characters are staring into the abyss during incredible scenes in the show’s final season premiere. Logan Roy (Brian Cox) ponders the afterlife over some cheap food in a nondescript diner, while Shiv Roy (Sarah Snook) faces the disintegration of her marriage with ascendant Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen).
Shazam! Fury of the Gods curses us with another numbing spectacle from DC Studios
DC hopes lighting strikes twice with this sequel to their hit 2019 film, but this is more of a light drizzle. If only there were a word I could scream that would turn me into a superhero. I wouldn’t fight crime or fly in the heavens above. Instead, I would run really fast until time went backward. Then I would sprint into the DC Film offices circa 2020 and yell, “Please do not make Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Nobody needs this!” Alas, I have no such power. So, here we are. Director David F.
Wahlberg gets it
Shyamalan’s eco-horror misfire almost ended his career, but 15 years later, the film comes off more as a goofy cult classic than box office bomb. The say goes: fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. But they forgot a couplet: fool me three times, I’ve just watched The Happening. After going 0-2 with critics and audiences with The Village and the insane mermaid mythology that was The Lady in the Water, M.
Jesus Revolution Review: The Rapture is a Chore
The latest faith-based film looks & sounds great, but has the dramatic weight of a Time-Life music infomercial. We’ve all been there. You turn on the radio and an incredible song is playing you’ve never heard before in your life. It’s a soaring rock anthem that chills you with goosebumps and makes you feel alive. Is this an Unforgettable Fire-era U2 song? Is this my new favorite band? The music ends, and the DJ jumps in with something like, “Praise be to God.
a Fun Concept That Never Leaves Orbit
Sci-Fi legend Dean Devlin returns to television with an uninspired crew. A saying goes for bad thespians: “They can’t act their way out of a paper bag!” When it comes to the ensemble for the latest Syfy channel original series, these people can’t act their way out of a deep space cryo chamber. The Ark, also streaming on Peacock, is an intriguing science fiction premise in search of capable hands that can live up to the material, but there are none to be found in this part of the galaxy.
Gerard Butler grabs the stick, saves the film
Gerard Butler pilots a new January dump classic with this brainless but enjoyable action-thriller. What a stupid title for a movie. It’s only one letter short from the straight-to-DVD Cars spinoff, Planes. At least that made sense, though, since small children who are really into airplanes were its key demo. Yet, it’s the perfect title for this movie.
Netflix's Surreal Journey of Revenge
Refn can only use so much style to cover up the lack of substance in this plodding noir-thriller series for Netflix. Episode one begins with a chorus of pig screams. The camera pans through endless cages with the poor little oinkers cramped inside. Then we cut to a woman being strangled. We can’t see her face or who’s attached to the hands squeezing the life out of her. The victim cries out, but we can’t hear anything over the pigs.
Riley Dandy is nice in a naughty film
Shudder’s latest is a heavy metal Christmas album come to life stretched too thin. Shudder’s Christmas Bloody Christmas, about a killer Robo-Santa that wreaks havoc in a small town, is that present that catches your eye under the tree. The wrapping paper is beautiful, and the object hidden within looks big and expensive. You finally get to open it. Alas, the magnificent gift in your head turns out to be nothing more than an Amazon box with an ugly sweater inside.
David Harbour makes glorious XMas violence
Santa Claus gets the Die Hard treatment with this dumb but fun action comedy. It’s Christmas time, and a man at the breaking point finds himself at the wrong place at the wrong time. But he isn’t retired cop John McClane this time. Instead, it’s Saint Nick with a sledgehammer he’d like to swing into your bowl full of jelly. The premise of Violent Night is simple (Die Hard but with Santa), and the filmmakers mostly pull off the kill-fest thanks to some game performers and one inspired sequence.
Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell Open Broken Presents
Not even Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell, and a charming premise can’t save Apple TV+’s overcooked holiday musical spectacle. It’s rare to watch a film adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol that turns you into a Scrooge by the end of it. Apple TV+ pulls it off with their modern, social media-age take on the holiday standard with a bloated musical comedy that features zero memorable musical numbers or laugh-out-loud moments.
Black Adam Review: Dwayne Johnson fails to electrify
DC Films hits another nadir as it drags Dwayne Johnson through a CGI hellscape. We’re officially in the third decade of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson being a movie star. The former WWE legend made his cinema debut in the forgettable sequel to The Mummy, where he’s introduced as the dreaded Scorpion King, one of the most infamous early CGI debacles. Special effects have since improved, along with Johnson’s abilities as an actor and charismatic leading man.
the Netflix Adaptation Drops the Call
The latest Stephen King adaptation, Mr. Harrigan’s Phone falls flat thanks to lifeless acting and lazy screenwriting. Stephen King is best known for his massive novels that require weight training just to hold. Entire forest ecosystems have been destroyed so we can have The Stand on our bookshelves. These epic tales are his bread and butter, but if you want to get a pure distillation of what makes King a gifted horror writer and storyteller, check out his short story collections.
Rob Zombie can't save this family.
Rob Zombie’s latest film looks like a graveyard smash, but he’s the only one having fun at this monster mash. Ever since Rob Zombie dug through the ditches, burned through the witches, and slammed it in the back of his Dragula, it was inevitable his career would lead to The Munsters. It’s where the coffin car originated and feels like the Rosetta Stone for Zombie’s lifelong passions for the weird and macabre.
a humdrum mystery wastes its cast
While impressive to look at, this stodgy attempt at an Agatha Christie whodunnit belongs in a dusty old attic. “You’ve seen one you seen them all,” says the dastardly movie director from beyond the grave. It’s the recently murdered Leo Köpernick (Adrien Brody), telling us early in the film about how stale the murder mystery genre was even by the 1950s, when See How They Run takes place.
TV Review: Legacy: the True Story of the LA Lakers
Antoine Fuqua struggles to elevate the story of an important American franchise beyond a family vanity project. No one mistakes HBO’s Winning Time: The Rise of the Los Angeles Lakers for a 30 For 30 documentary. So why does that series feel more authentic to the Golden Era of professional basketball, and the team that helped elevate the NBA into an American pastime, than a ten-hour documentary about the Lakers?
Film Review: Bullet Train
This action-comedy goes off the rails in a good way, but some riders may get motion sickness. Five strangers with deadly ambitions sit on a train speeding from Tokyo to Kyoto in the middle of the night, all connected by one mystery yet to be solved. It sounds like the setup for a modern Agatha Christie whodunit, but make those strangers dangerous hitmen, and switch out the intrigue with violent mayhem, and you get Bullet Train.
Film Review: DC's League of Super-Pets
The animated superhero film is a blast for kids and dog lovers but may be kryptonite to everyone else. Being a pet owner can enrich your life and open your heart to certain movies you may otherwise ignore. If I had watched DC’s new animated children’s film, League of Super-Pets, before being a proud doggy dad, I would have rolled my eyes.
Jurassic World Dominion is a failure on a global scale - The Spool
Colin Trevorrow injects plenty of dinos and nostalgia to the series, but not much else. In the video game version of the original Jurassic Park for the Sega Genesis, you can choose to play the side scroller as either Dr. Grant or a Velociraptor. Of course, you choose the raptor almost every time because dinosaurs are cooler than humans. It’s a great lesson for making a fun video game, but not for making a successful movie franchise.
The Bob’s Burgers Movie is a little overcooked but still tasty
Fans of the long-running animated series will find lots to enjoy in the film adaptation, but casual watchers may find too much patty on this bun. Expanding a television show that usually runs for twenty-five minutes into a full-length feature film can be patty hard. Sorry, I mean pretty hard. After spending so much time in director Loren Bouchard’s colorful, sardonic world filled with enough burger puns to fill a McDonald’s ball pit, it’s hard to resist that sort of thing.
The Takedown takes down French far-right with humor & style
The latest Netflix import provides a lesson in French politics along with some fun action. Action films love using Nazis as the villains because they’re unquestionably evil, wear scary uniforms, and are fun to watch get punched in the mouth. Now that modern-day Nazism hides behind bad haircuts on television and schlubby dudes wearing hunting jackets, it’s harder to achieve that visceral thrill of seeing a Nazi get his ass kicked. The Takedown makes a strong attempt, though.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent review
Nic Cage goes full meta in a silly but fun action-adventure film. Nicolas Cage became a national institution somewhere between stealing Huggies from a convenience store and putting the bunny back in the box. Since then, his career has been a mixture of some highs and many more lows. In the process, he’s gone from one of our most celebrated actors to a self-parody.
COW delivers a thoughtful but crushing look inside dairy farm
Andrea Arnold brings her strong eye and empathy skills to non-fiction with a raw but beautiful documentary about the life of a cow trapped in an industrialized dairy farm. Andrea Arnold has always been a tactile filmmaker. Since her 2003 Oscar-winning short film, Wasp, Arnold can make us taste, smell and hear everything through her protagonists, typically women trapped in socio-economic situations they can’t escape.
TV Review: Winning Time: Rise of the Lakers Dynasty (HBO)
HBO scores with a basketball show that’s more thrilling off the court. We don’t step foot on an NBA court until the final minutes of the first episode of HBO’s new docu-series, Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty. This isn’t an accident; it’s a show with more on its mind than the x’s and o’s of a regular-season game.
Film Review: Uncharted (2022), Starring Tom Holland
Despite a strong lead performance from Tom Holland, this video game adaptation doesn’t fully escape the curse of its forebears. Stop me if you’ve heard this one: A treasure hunter walks into a Papa John’s franchise in the middle of beautiful Barcelona. He’s there to unlock a complicated puzzle in the hopes of getting one step closer to finding the gold lost during the epic journey of Ferdinand Magellan 500 years prior.
TV Review: True Story with Ed and Randall (Peacock)
Ed Helms and Randall Park’s unscripted storytelling series forgets to bring the laughs. Before the Chicago improv theater, iO, closed from the pandemic in the summer of 2020, they used to play a game called “The Dream” during shows. An audience volunteer (usually tipsy) would walk on stage and an interviewer would ask them about their day in detail. The cast of the show, listening intently from downstage, would then recreate their day, beat by beat, with heightened physicality and bits.
Film Review: Riverdance: The Animated Adventure Netflix
Too many farts and too much step dancing overshadow the film’s attempts at important lessons. In 1996, a peaceful time of American prosperity between the Cold War and Twitter, music’s biggest things were imports. One was Canadian Queen Celine Dion, with her classic “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now” playing from car radios on constant rotation. The other was Irishman Michael Flatley who came to our shores with the step dancing phenomenon Riverdance.
Film Review: American Underdog
The Zachary Levi-starrer goes little on the message, heavy on cliché. NFL Hall of Famer Kurt Warner started as an undrafted, unwanted quarterback bagging groceries and wound up leading The Greatest Show on Turf with the St. Louis Rams. It’s a true story so improbable that it shouldn’t be believable as a movie. But, now that it’s a real movie in the form of American Underdog, a faith-based biopic, it does seem unbelievable.
Film Review: Ghostbusters: Afterlife
The sequel/reboot is a father-son passion project no one needed. One of the few moments of genuine humanity from Ghostbusters: Afterlife comes before the movie starts. In the press screening intro video, director and co-writer Jason Reitman shows up to tell everyone to please enjoy the movie. Then he briefly mentions the high stakes pressure of taking up the mantle of a beloved film property from his father, Ivan Reitman.
Stallone releases a recut (but surprisingly better) Rocky IV
Mourn the loss of Paulie’s robot, but consider checking out the “ultimate director’s cut” of the most gloriously 80s entry in the Rocky franchise. People think the Cold War officially ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. That may technically be the right answer, but the actual end of the Cold War happened in Moscow on Christmas Day, 1985.
Stallone releases a longer but surprisingly better Rocky IV
Mourn the loss of Paulie’s robot, but consider checking out the “ultimate director’s cut” of the most gloriously 80s entry in the Rocky franchise. People think the Cold War officially ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. That may technically be the right answer, but the actual end of the Cold War happened in Moscow on Christmas Day, 1985.
Demonic accomplishes the impossible: it makes the Devil look boring
Neill Blomkamp suggests that District 9 may have been a lucky fluke in this dull supernatural techno-horror. Neill Blomkamp’s films have always been interested in the ways technology allows humanity to leap forward, but not enough for us to overcome our inherent nature. Demonic is his latest and most perfect example of this. Not because of anything that happens in the film, but because watching this dull movie will test audiences’ willpower not to constantly check their phones.
Jellystone! is a surprisingly fresh take on an old classic
C.H. Greenblatt breathes new life into the Boomer-era world of Hanna-Barbera. The small, fictional town of Jellystone is like other close-knit communities across America. It’s quaint, charming, and filled with jittery citizens on the edge of a nervous breakdown. HBO Max brings back the beloved characters of Hanna-Barbera (the first since their deaths in the 2000s) for a newer, more anxious generation with, an animated show that’s as hilarious as it is self-aware.
Review: Space Jam 2: A New Legacy (2021)
Warner Bros. makes a feature-length commercial for itself that does an adrift LeBron James, and HBO Max’s back catalog of bizarre creations, a grave injustice. Let’s get one thing out of the way: the original Space Jam, released in 1996, isn’t a good movie. It’s an extended Nike commercial with an iconic soundtrack that tricked the brains of ’90s kids into keeping it warm with nostalgia.
A Canadian Bakery Refused To Make A Cake Of A Drag Queen, Which They Then Compared To Pedophiles
A bakery in Windsor is taking heat for refusing to make a cake featuring a drag queen, only to then double down and compare them to pedophiles, according to CBC. Brittany Leroux contacted T. Bear’s Creamery on Thursday to order a birthday cake for her partner. When she requested a cake, depicting his favourite drag queen Jimbo, from RuPaul’s Drag Race, she was refused service. Happy Pride T.
El Chapo's Wife Pleaded Guilty To Drug Charges In The U.S And Is Awaiting Sentencing
The wife of Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman pleaded guilty Thursday to charges in the US related to her husband’s criminal empire. Emma Coronel Aispuro, 31, made her guilty plea in Washington with the assistance of a translator. Her charges include conspiring to distribute heroin, marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamine. She also pleads guilty to money laundering and engaging in transactions with a foreign narcotics officer.
