Red Sonja

On March 24, journey back to the time of swords and sorcery when the fantasy epic Red Sonja makes its 4K UHD world premiere. From the legendary producer Dino De Laurentiis and director Richard Fleischer (Conan The Destroyer) comes a female hero created by writer Robert E. Howard (Conan The Barbarian). The limited edition release includes a 4K restoration from the original negative with new HDR grading by Arrow Films, hours of special features, and newly commissioned extras.

Red Sonja (Brigitte Nielsen, Cobra) has her life, family, and home torn apart by the evil Queen Gedren (Sandahl Bergman, Conan The Barbarian) and her ruthless soldiers, driving Sonja to pray for revenge. A spirit blesses her with the strength of a great warrior, and she trains until her master can teach her no more, leaving her ready to exact revenge. Can Red Sonja save the world from the Queen and her powerful relic, and will Lord Kalidor (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Conan The Barbarian) convince her that he is worthy enough to be her partner in this epic battle? The clanging steel of Red Sonja’s epic battles is accompanied by a rousing score from Ennio Morricone (The Good, The Bad And The Ugly).

Special features include a 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible); Original lossless mono audio and optional DTS-HD MA 5.1 surround audio; Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; two brand new audio commentaries; newly filmed interviews with actor Ernie Reyes Jr. and others; an archival unreleased interview with poster artist Renato Casaro; an archival featurette on Arnold Schwarzenegger; an archival interview with assistant director Michel Ferry; the original theatrical trailer; image gallery; a collectors’ perfect-bound booklet; double-sided foldout poster; and six postcard-sized reproduction artcards.

"We Got The Beat"

The Go-Go's

"Go-go music really makes us dance

Do the pony puts us in a trance
Do the watusi just give us a chance
That's when we fall in line

'Cause we got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat, yeah
We got it" - The Go-Go's, We Got Beat

The Go-Go's is one of my all time favorite bands. Their Freshman album Beauty and the Beat 1981 contained the fun times anthem We Got The Beat. It's still a dance staple today.

Get the beat this weekend...TGIF!

Hump Day & Chill

Sean Penn

Here is a face only a mother could love...It's Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw from Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another.

Lockjaw is played in the film by Sean Penn who recently won a BAFTA (British Academy Of Film And Television Arts) Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal.

So I thought a Hump Day & Chill celebration should be the order of the day. 

Pick your poison and your reason, his performance was terrific as was the film! 

Chill Minions, chill...

Remington Party

Winona Ryder

"I brought you to a Remington party and what's my thanks? It's on a hallway carpet. I got paid in puke." - Heather Chandler, Heathers

While surfing the WWW I came across this fun find, a polaroid image BHS from one of my favorite movies: Heathers

I saw it in Los Angeles when it hit theaters in 1988. So I was ahead of the curve of the masses that would come to love and appreciate it over time.

Thus I gave it a watch again recently and it still holds up. The satire and dark humor are as razor sharp now as they were then.

Not to mention the terrific cast lead by Winona Ryder.

If you have yet to see it, get it!

Tequila!
Michael Shinafelt

Pssst! Did you know it's National Margarita Day?! Well now you do!!!

Thus to commemorate and celebrate this hallowed concoction here I am with, "Yes" a margarita.

I have a twice weekly routine where I make my way to HomeState in Hollywood for a breakfast taco and a margarita in the am.

Sitting out on the patio first thing in the morning with those two things is a great start to any day. It's really chill and quiet, thus setting the tone for the rest of it: Good Vibes Only. 

Join me in celebrating won't you? I know you want to, everyone is doing it, all the cool kids are...

Tequila!

The Sh-Booms!

Photo: James Hand

Orlando’s premier soul-rocking nonet The Sh-Booms return on February 18th with “This Is a Test,” their first new recorded music since 2019 and the title track from their forthcoming EP This Is a Test. The EP will be released digitally and as a limited-run 12” vinyl, available at the band’s upcoming Florida release shows this March and everywhere else on March 10.

“This Is a Test,” says bandleader and bassist Alfred Ruiz, “is a sci-fi vision of two astronauts on a collision course in the cosmic ocean. As they delve into the great unknown they enter euphoric intergalactic love — but a treacherous mission may lay waste to the path forward. This is a test… now hold your breath.”

Clocking in at over six and a half minutes, the title track signals a bold creative shift. Blending New Wave textures, post-punk lock-grooves, funk-driven vocoder passages, and widescreen space-rock builds, the song captures the emotional push and pull of new love with cinematic scale and dancefloor urgency. Produced by Grammy-nominated engineer Alan Armitage (Boyz II Men) at his Orlando studio The Snake Arcade, and mastered by Grammy Award-winner Emily Lazar (Beck, Vampire Weekend, Minus the Bear) at The Lodge Mastering in New York, the single marks a major sonic expansion for the band.

12 Angry Men

"If you think great movies require spectacular scenery, nonlinear storytelling, or big action sequences, think again. For this week’s blistering cinematic masterpiece proves the opposite. A courtroom drama that doesn’t take place in a courtroom, “12 Angry Men” is set almost entirely in a single room unfolding in real time, forgoing spectacle in favor of relentless, start to finish edge-of-your-seat tension."

they're multiplying
And I'm losing control
'Cause the power you're supplying
it's electrifying!

You better shape up
'cause i need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up
you better understand
To my heart I must be true
Nothing left
Nothing left for me to do

You're the one that I want
You are the one I want

"Another Gay Sequel"

Breaking Glass Pictures proudly announces the re-release of the cult-favorite LGBTQ+ comedy Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild!, arriving March 3, 2026. Originally released in 2008, the outrageous and unapologetically queer sequel has secured its place in pop culture thanks to its fearless humor, stacked guest appearances, and vivid time-capsule snapshot of late-2000s gay nightlife, celebrity, and sex-positive storytelling.

“The gay community has evolved so much over the past twenty years,” says Rich Wolf of Breaking Glass Pictures, an executive producer on the film. “Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! is a joyful reminder of a pre-Grindr, pre-influencer era—when a wild, party-fueled week at the beach was all about freedom, friendship, and the thrill of letting loose, and what happened there really did stay there.”

Written and directed by Todd Stephens and a follow-up to his 2006 film Another Gay Movie, Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! reunites fan-favorite characters Andy, Nico, Jarod, and Griff, trading collegiate chaos for a sun-soaked Spring Break in Fort Lauderdale. What begins as a carefree vacation quickly spirals into a no-holds-barred competition dubbed “Gays Gone Wild!,” where the rules are simple: hook up with as many guys as possible over the course of Spring Break. The winner earns the coveted and completely ridiculous distinction of “Miss Gay Gone Wild.”

True to its title, Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! doubles down on camp, comedy, and chaos. Andy (played by Jake Mosser), no longer the awkward underdog, finds himself effortlessly attracting attention, but is thrown off course when he unexpectedly falls for Luis (Euriamis Losada), a charming and handsome virgin who challenges Andy’s assumptions about love, intimacy, and emotional connection. Meanwhile, Nico’s (Jonah Blechman, who shared an on-screen kiss with Leonardo DiCaprio in This Boy’s Life) confidence is shaken when he struggles to attract anyone at all, escaping instead into an ongoing fantasy involving a shirtless merman played by adult film icon Brent Corrigan.

 

Jarod (Jimmy Clabots) and Griff (Aaron Michael Davies) face a different dilemma: now a committed couple, they must decide whether entering the contest together is worth the potential strain on their relationship. Adding to the madness is a hyper-competitive trio all named Jasper (played by Will Wikle, Brand Lim, and Isaac Webster) who will stop at nothing to rig the contest in their favor.

 

The film is also remembered for its over-the-top celebrity cameos, many of which feel even more iconic in retrospect. Another Gay Sequel features appearances by RuPaul, Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall), RuPaul’s Drag Race star Willam Belli, and adult entertainment legends Michael Lucas and the late Colton Ford. A particularly notorious subplot involves gossip blogger Perez Hilton, who appears as himself in a surreal storyline that sees him suffer a head injury, transform into a fire-and-brimstone religious zealot bent on suppressing gay debauchery, and then, after another blow to the head, snap right back to form.

 

Upon its original release, Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! found an enthusiastic audience that embraced its raunchy humor, unapologetic queerness, and refusal to sanitize gay sexuality for mainstream comfort. Over the years, the film has gained cult status, celebrated for capturing a specific moment in LGBTQ+ media when camp, controversy, and sex positivity collided without apology.

 

The 2026 re-release invites longtime fans to revisit the film and introduces a new generation to a boldly irreverent comedy that helped push queer cinema further into the mainstream by being loud, messy, and proudly itself.

 

Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! will be available on all major streaming platforms on March 3.

Hump Day & Chill

Kevin Williamson

"Hello Sidney" 

This iconic greeting is now 30 years old! You all know it and you all love it, also perhaps fear it.

Well not to worry as Ghostface and Sidney are facing off again this month February 27th when Scream 7 drops (dead)! 

To celebrate we are going to Hump Day & Chill with the creator of Scream screenwriter Kevin Williamson who is standing proud over the logo for Scream 7 above because he has taken the directing reigns for the first time ever in the series that lunged onto the unsuspecting American Public December 20th 1996.

This is what he has to say about it: 

"It’s been nearly 30 years since my very first script, Scream, was directed by the legendary Wes Craven. I never would have predicted what it would become. Or that I would be directing the seventh installment of the franchise. I am overcome with gratitude and excitement, and I can’t wait to take this journey with Neve and the entire Scream family as we bring back Sidney Prescott in the next chapter of the Scream franchise. Thank you to all the Scream fans. You are the gift that keeps giving. @nevecampbell See you on set. @guybusick @officialxpe @spyglassmediagr" 

As a fan of the Scream series I am counting down the days until February 27th...

Hump Day & Chill and...Scream!!!
