  Today, we’re heading straight into the dust, danger, and drama of the wild west with a very special guest—director and writer Brian Skiba—who joins us to talk about his latest film, GUNSLINGERS. Starring Stephen Dorff, Heather Graham, and Academy Award Winner Nicolas Cage, GUNSLINGERS is a gritty, high-octane Western thriller where justice rides on a hair trigger. When America’s most wanted outlaw lands in a quiet Kentucky town, chaos erupts—brothers clash, bullets fly, and vengeance rides hard and fast. In this conversation, Brian gives us an inside look at crafting the story, assembling an all-star cast, and what it takes to bring an explosive modern Western to life.

The blue blur is back, and this time he’s bringing the whole squad—and then some. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the kind of sequel that doesn’t just continue the story; it launches the franchise into even more ambitious, bizarre, and genuinely entertaining territory. It’s a colorful mix of chaotic action, heartfelt character moments, and some of the most gleefully unhinged performances you’ll see in a family film this year. Director Jeff Fowler returns to the helm and shows no signs of slowing down. If anything, he leans into the series' weirdness even harder than before, delivering a film that feels like a sugar rush of nostalgia, 2000s-style action, and cartoonish energy—just with better CGI and more emotional weight. Let’s get the obvious out of the way: Jim Carrey once again steals the show. Not content with simply playing Dr. Ivo Robotnik, Carrey also steps into the role of the villain’s grandfather, Professor Gerald Robotnik. The dual performance could have been a cheap gimmick, bu...

In Hollywood Blackout , author and media commentator Ben Arogundade delivers a compelling, well-researched exposé of the film industry's long and troubled history with race, gender, and representation — specifically through the lens of the Academy Awards. Arogundade traces a throughline from the earliest days of the Oscars to the more recent #OscarsSoWhite controversies, unpacking the institutional biases and cultural dynamics that have kept marginalized voices in the shadows of Hollywood's brightest lights. The book is equal parts cultural criticism and historical documentation. Arogundade doesn’t just call out disparities — he contextualizes them. He walks the reader through 100 years of cinema, highlighting watershed moments where representation faltered or, occasionally, broke through. From Hattie McDaniel’s historic win in 1940 to the delayed recognition of talents like Spike Lee and Viola Davis, the narrative builds a sobering picture of how slowly — and often reluctantl...

Today, we’re diving into LAST BREATH — the sleeper hit that no one saw coming. Directed by Alex Parkinson, this gripping thriller tells the true story of a commercial diver who becomes trapped 100 meters below the surface of the North Sea with only five minutes of oxygen — and no chance of immediate rescue. It’s a harrowing, edge-of-your-seat survival story that’s as emotional as it is intense. With masterful direction, stunning underwater cinematography, and a narrative that keeps you hooked from start to finish, Last Breath quickly built momentum through word of mouth and has become one of the most talked-about films of the year. I had the chance to sit down with Alex Parkinson to talk about how he brought this incredible true story to life, the technical challenges of filming under extreme conditions, and what it was like turning real-life events into cinematic suspense. LAST BREATH  is currently available on VOD

THE AMATEUR , the latest addition to 20th Century Studios’ slate of thrillers, is an unflinching, globe-trotting ride of vengeance, loss, and redemption—anchored by a riveting performance from Rami Malek. Directed with clinical precision by James Hawes and adapted from Robert Littell’s novel by screenwriters Ken Nolan and Gary Spinelli, this espionage thriller smartly straddles the line between cerebral spy drama and pulse-pounding action. Malek plays Charlie Heller, a brilliant but socially withdrawn CIA decoder working in the shadowy corners of Langley—quite literally, as his office is buried in the agency’s basement. Living a life of quiet purpose, Charlie is no field agent—he’s the kind of man whose superpower is linguistic logic and algorithmic fluency. But everything changes when his wife is killed in a terrorist bombing in London, a gut-wrenching sequence that hits like a sucker punch in the film’s opening act. The tragedy pushes Charlie out of his intellectual shell and into a ...
