Hump Day & Chill

Somebody's Watching Me
Devon Sawa & Chucky

I don't know about you, but the scene in last week's episode of Chucky where Devon Sawa's Father Bryce gets excommunicated from his chosen profession and then removes his shirt was 100% swoon worthy.

Thus by the grace of, um the powers that be, that being me, we are going to Hump Day & Chill to Devon and behold his masculine glory, amen! 

Mr. Sawa really has cornered the humpy, hunky, manly forty something dude market. Seriously Minions it takes much more than taking off your shirt to crank my shaft and yet when Devon did, well my shaft was definitely well oiled.

Yeah, there's something about Devon and it's the gift that keeps on giving. Hey tis' the season after all.

Tonight is the Season 2 finale of Chucky and "Yes" I will be tuning in to bear witness, hallelujah!!!

Old Friends: A Dogumentary


Filmmaker Gorman Bechard has long expressed his love for man’s best friend in documentaries like A Dog Named Gucci and Seniors A Dogumentary, and for his third venture into the world of animal welfare he has trained his lens on one of the most beloved animal sanctuaries on the planet: the Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary of Mount Juliet, Tennessee. 

Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary was started in 2011 as Zina and Michael Goodin recognized that elder dogs were often abandoned and those in shelters rarely adopted. Much like their human counterparts, seniors often need extra care, extra patience, and extra love. So, the couple set out to save just one dog, and that profound experience quickly led to another. Soon it became their mission.

Old Friends, A Dogumentary follows their story from humble beginnings as a small home-based shelter to the Facebook phenomenon they’ve become, and their move into a brand new 20,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility.

“The film was born at the world premiere of Seniors A Dogumentary in Nashville,” explains director Bechard, whose film A Dog Named Gucci earned the 2015 ASPCA Media Excellence Award. “Zina told me about their new facility, and how they were going to shut down the road, and have a senior dog parade marching the geezers, as the folks at Old Friends call them, from their old home to the new building. As a filmmaker who loves dogs, how could I not film a senior dog parade?” 

Part of what sets the sanctuary apart from other shelters is their extraordinary veterinary staff. The film documents the arrival of dogs Hugh and Sweat Pea, both seniors with severe medical issues. For these two dogs, Old Friends was their last chance. Over the course of six months, we see their progress, their challenges, and ultimately their triumph as their tails begin to wag once again…all because of a group of dedicated doctors, technicians, and volunteers determined to give these dogs a second chance at life. As Zina likes to say, Old Friends is “a place where love never grows old.” 

The feature documentary will be released as a deluxe BluRay/DVD combo and on pay-per-view platforms on December 13th. The physical copy features several extras, including the complete Geezer Parade, opening day ribbon-cutting festivities at the new facility, and the Q&A session with Bechard and several of the film’s participants from the world premiere at the historic Franklin Theatre in April.

Adam In Fragments

 


Adam in Fragments

Dekkoo.com, a subscription streaming service dedicated to gay men, will begin streaming its new original series, Adam in Fragments, on November 17.  The provocative, gritty drama follows Adam (Beau Swartz), a sex worker who has never had to worry about anyone but himself until he meets Lucy (Keiva Bradley).  Adam’s urge to guide the young and naïve aspiring adult film starlet and protect her from their terrorizing handler, Felix (Francisco Antonio), triggers a series of events that sends violent ripples through the Los Angeles underground sex-trade.  Adam in Fragments is produced by Dekkoo Films and The Arbor Company.
 
“Most television shows and films about sex work either glorify the trade or exploit it,” says Omar Salas Zamora.  He wrote and directed the series with Calvin Picou.  “In Adam in Fragments, we aim to examine the profession, not by sensationalizing it, but through exploring the main character and his interactions with drug dealers and johns.”
 
Zamora and Picou drew inspiration from 70’s crime thrillers.  “We incorporated that same coarse-grained aesthetic for a story aimed at a queer male audience,” Picou explains.  
 
Each episode of Adam in Fragments builds a new picture of Adam.  In the premiere, “Crawling Back”, the young man returns to his former life as a sex worker and quickly re-engages with his seedy and often dangerous male clients. In episode two, “Meal Ticket”, viewers are introduced to Lucy and witness the burgeoning relationship between the girl and Adam as they prepare for another night of work.  In the third episode, “One Hundred & Fifty”, Adam is set up on a date where he meets a young hustler who opens his eyes to playing the sex trade by different rules.  “In Through the Out Door” is the fourth episode in the series; Lucy reveals the abuse she’s endured at the hands of their pimp, Felix, and she and Adam begin planning their escape. In the series finale, “Fear Eats the Soul,” Adam struggles with the price he must pay for a safe and comfortable life. 
 
“Throughout the series, Adam remains enigmatic,” says Brian Sokel, President of Dekkoo who executive produces along with Derek Curl.  He selected Adam in Fragments as an exclusive series for Dekkoo.  “The moment viewers think they have a handle on him, they realize that they do not.  Adam’s ability to maintain his anonymity by never getting too close to johns, pimps, drug dealers, and even viewers, allows him some level of control, and it makes the series a fascinating and almost immersive experience for the audience.”
 
“Mainstream society will view Adam and the characters in Adam in Fragments as irredeemable, but these veterans of the underground are, in most cases, comfortable in their skin and together, they form something of a family unit,” Omar Salas Zamora adds.  “It is only when a fresh new face comes along, with unattainable dreams and false illusions about life, that chaos ensues.   Adam’s mistake is that he allows himself to become emotionally accessible to Lucy.”
 
Adam in Fragments stars Beau Swartz, Keiva Bradley, and Ryan Ruffing, and features supporting performances from Jonathan Miller, Francisco Antonio, Nick Flaig, Joe Garcia and Tara Emerson.

“We hope viewers find the humanity in these difficult characters,” Zamora and Picou agree.   “They’re not heroes, villains, or victims. They merely exist.”
 
Filming for Adam in Fragments was done primarily on the streets in downtown Los Angeles. 

Adam in Fragments premieres on Dekkoo on November 17, 2022.  For more information, visit Dekkoo.com.

Creature From Black Lake


A wonderfully old-fashioned monster movie like they used to make monster movies--chills, chuckles and a couple of good screams

     —Paul Beutel, Austin American-Statesman

There's a hairy humanoid beast lurking in the Louisiana swamps, but only trapper Joe Canton (Jack Elam, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST) has seen it and lived to tell the tale, and the other residents of Oil City, Louisiana don't talk about it. But that's not about to stop intrepid grad students Pahoo (Dennis Fimple, HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES) and Rives (John David Carson, EMPIRE OF THE ANTS), who are determined to track down the Bigfoot-like creature. Defying local sheriff Billy Carter (Bill Thurman, THE LAST PICTURE SHOW), the duo trek deep into the wilds of Black Lake, and a series of frightening encounters make it clear the monster is no mere legend. Following in the (big) footsteps of THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK and similar docudramas, 1976's CREATURE FROM BLACK LAKE is a fictional Sasquatch saga, albeit one inspired by real reports. With a colorful cast, also including Dub Taylor (THE WILD BUNCH), and plenty of rural atmosphere courtesy of cinematographer Dean Cundey (HALLOWEEN, JURASSIC PARK), scripter Jim McCullough Jr.--who also co-stars--and director Joy Houck Jr. bring touches of humor and humanity that complement the mystery of the monster, and the terror of its attacks. A longtime late-night TV favorite, CREATURE FROM BLACK LAKE now roars onto DVD with a boatload of special features!
