If you haven’t see Run Lola Run, you . [...]
Rewind by Seth Walker

Seth Walker is a different point of blue in American music. His songwriting draws from the entire spectrum of the roots canon and infuses it with a wellspring of [...]
Bride of the Gorilla (1951)
You would figure that a film with Raymond Burr and Lon Channey Jr. in it called Bride of the Gorilla would have to be pure cheese fun. No so much in this case. Wow, was this a borefest to the extreme!
The basic plot is this, Burr punches his boss in the jungle because he’s in [...]

White Rabbits are known for their energy onstage, their switching of instruments, and cover songs, notably Bob Dylan’s “Maggie’s Farm”, which was also covered by one of the band’s main influences, The Specials. Typically they will put their own twist on cover songs by playing them in a style/genre different from [...]

Death of a President & What Dreams May Come
One of my favorite podcasts, “Double Feature” talks about two films this week. First Gabriel Range’s 2006 Death of a President, the fake documentary about fictional assassination of George W. Bush. Next, the Robin William’s 1998 film, What Dreams May Come. These two do a different style of review that you’ll have to hear [...]
Kong Island (1968)
OK, there is a problem with this film, actually two problems, no Kong and no Island. Besides that, the title is 100% accurate. What is amazing about this film is its skillful use of stock footage and we crafted padding. If you don’t know what padding is, it’s a scene of like people walking or [...]

There a “acoustic rock’n’roll, alt-country, folk and blues” , featuring Tony Rose – guitar, vocals; Matt de Harp [...]
