Calling Occupants

Due to the tremendous public interest, Donald J. Trump announced that he will direct the Secretary of War and other relevant agencies to begin the process of identifying and releasing government files related to potential extraterrestrial life, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), UFOs, and any other connected information.

Cheers! It's National Margarita Day!

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.

EP Vinyl Release Shows

March 6 — Orlando, FL @ Will’s Pub
March 7 — Tampa, FL @ Crowbar

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."

"I got chills

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

(chorus)
You're the one that I want
You are the one I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey" - Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta, Grease

"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 MovieAnother 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!!!

"She Runs The Show"

"In Charge"
Sharon Stone

Euphoria dropped the first look at Sharon Stone as a Studio Boss in Season Three of the show yesterday on Instagram.

With the caption: "She Runs The Show"

Clearly this was filmed on the Warner Bros. lot as the iconic tower is visible behind Ms. Stone. For the record Warner Bros. is the parent company of HBO where Euphoria airs.

I'm not even going to speculate how this works into the plot of the season debuting April 12th because if I did I'm sure I would be completely off.

Suffice it to say there is a time jump since last season and the characters are no longer in High School.

I for one love Sharon Stone and can't wait for season three to drop and find out just exactly how she fits in to all the marvelousness that is Euphoria.

That's all...

Finally went to the historic Tam O'Shanter restaurant in Los Angeles, CA. Walt Disney dined there frequently in the late 20' and throughout the 30's so much it was nicknamed "Disney Studio Commissary. It takes you to a different time and place, not to mention the food was delicious!

Man Crush Monday

Bad Bunny

"The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. If we fight, we have to do it with love" - Bad Bunny on stage at the 2026 Grammys

Bad Bunny looking dapper and oh so yummy took to the Grammy stage and made his acceptance speech for Best Musica Urbana Album for his acclaimed work: DeBi Tirar Mas Fotos. 

He seized the opportunity to denounce ICE and to promote love & unity over hate.

I don't know about you, but that is what I call a man! Good looking, sexy, intelligent with a lot of heart.

Can't wait to see how he "dresses" for the Superbowl half time show this Sunday (if  you get my drift)!
