Monarchs Cash In Nine Runs Off a Dozen Hits

Standup is like therapy… when you think about it. In both cases, a person exposes their innermost thoughts. People are given license to be brutally honest, saying things about their loved ones that they probably wouldn’t admit to their faces. Of course, if a therapist laughed at your emotional turmoil, you’d likely ask for a refund. If an audience laughs, you feel strangely gratified. Laughter tells a comedian that the audience has been there too, letting them know they aren’t alone. That said, what happens in therapy stays in that room. When you say something onstage, your thoughts are out in the open. Will Arnett has been one of our best comedic actors for over twenty years, going back to his work on Arrested Development. Anyone who’s seen BoJack Horseman knows that Arnett is also underappreciated as a dramatic actor. No joke, Arnett demonstrated some of the century’s rawest acting chops as a cartoon horse, the episode with BoJack’s eulogy to his mother being a dramatic highlight. Much like how that episode provided an extended monologue for Arnett, Is This Thing On? largely relies on his ability to hold an audience’s attention. Arnett succeeds in a Best Actor-worthy performance. Arnett

The original series helped launch the rapper-turned-actor’s colossal Hollywood career. In the Bel-Air series finale, the new and old Wills share a moment as Jabari Banks’ Bel-Air Will is returning to Philly, where he will attend Ivy League powerhouse the University of Pennsylvania, to take in one last sweeping view of Los Angeles. As he contemplates the many ways living with “his aunt and uncle in Bel-Air” has changed his life, he also worries he might lose the essence of his evolution back in his beloved city. That’s when future Fresh Prince Will Smith appears to reassure his younger self about the future. Nailing that magical ending fell on Carla Banks-Waddles who joined the Bel-Air journey in the first season as a consultant before elevating to showrunner. Putting in extra duty, she penned the final episode titled “The Next Act,” which Bel-Air creator Morgan Stevenson Cooper directed. Tying it all up was more challenging with
Read moreDetailsIf you were a fan of the psychological dread that Josh Malerman brought us with Bird Box and Incidents Around the House, you’ll want to pay attention. After more than two years in the works, the feature film adaptation of his haunting short story, A Ben Evans Film, is now officially in pre-production! This isn’t just standard horror. It is a uniquely unsettling ride that mixes dark comedy, psychological madness, and intimate, gut-wrenching tragedy. The Plot That Crosses the Line Between Art and Decay The story centers on Ben Evans, a “larger-than-life filmmaker.” Ben has one major, slightly inconvenient problem: he struggled to complete his passion project while his parents were alive. His solution? He decides to cast his deceased parents as the stars of his movie. As Ben chases this twisted vision of cinematic bliss behind the camera, his creative process violently spirals into madness, blurring the terrifying line between art, obsession, and death. If that doesn’t sound like the best kind of grotesque, character-driven horror, we don’t know what does! The Star and the Masterminds Sky Elobar plays the titular role of Ben Evans, known for his unforgettable, boundary-pushing performance in The Greasy Strangler. If anyone can handle

Michael Huppe Elliott O'Donovan Trending on Billboard SoundExchange’s CEO, Michael Huppe, has been working towards getting artists paid on terrestrial AM/FM radio stations for the last decade, but he says the effort to get this royalty in the U.S. dates back “much longer,” he explains. “There’s a letter that was issued by Frank Sinatra — I don’t remember exactly when, but I think it was about 30 years ago — to Bruce Springsteen .” Related SoundExchange has collected royalties for artists on digital and satellite radio sources like SiriusXM and Pandora since its formation in the 1990s. However, for terrestrial radio, artists are not required to receive the same compensation — or any at all. Only songwriters do. While many of today’s biggest stars are both artists and songwriters, Huppe still believes this is an unfair practice that demeans the contribution of artists and the record labels footing the bill to take songs to radio in the first place: “We’re the only industrialized country where this is true.” Huppe points to the song “Respect”

Ferrara, has just released the seriously chilling time-loop horror film, Manor of Darkness ! The Desperate Plan and the Priceless Artifact The movie centers on Laura. She is a woman facing desperate circumstances as she struggles financially while caring for her terminally ill mother. Her desperation forces her to reluctantly reconnect with her estranged brother, Chris, for what they hope will be one last, extremely lucrative score. Of course, a “last score” in a horror movie never goes as planned. Their target? A remote, gothic English manor that is rumored to house an immensely valuable, priceless artifact. Posing as a documentary film crew, Laura, Chris, his girlfriend Lisa, and their cameraman Andy gain access to the manor under the guise of filming a historical feature. Once inside, they encounter the manor’s reclusive owner, Lucas, whose cryptic, unsettling stories hint at a devastating, tragic past. And a powerful, lingering supernatural force within the walls.

Read moreDetailsNetflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos extended an olive branch to theater owners on Monday after rival David Ellison and his mega billionaire father, Larry Ellison, launched a $108.4 billion hostile bid that could derail the streamer’s $82.7 billion deal to buy Warner Bros., home of one of the few remaining iconic Hollywood movie studios. Speaking at an investor’s conference Monday in New York City, Sarandos made it clear that Warner Bros. will remain in the business of releasing movies theatrically (conversely, original films made for Netflix will stick to their gameplan). “We have not talked a lot about in the past about wanting to do theatrical, because we’ve never been in that business. When this deal closes, we be will in, and we’re going to do it,” said Sarandos, indicating that all of the studio’s box office this year, including A Minecraft Movie, Weapons and Sinners, wouldn’t have driven the same value without a proper release, with the implication being a robust marketing spend, something Netflix is loathe to do for its fare. “We didn’t buy this company to destroy that value,” he concluded. While Sarandos makes for an easy punching bag because of his long issue with theatrical windows, exhibition sources
