Whether it was a talk show (which we have many, many podcasts released) or just a basic music show dedicated to my favorite genre of music (metal/rock/heavy metal). I struggled with what I wanted to do. Like, what do I love? What do I REALLY want to do.</div><div>I love the '80's. It was the decade that I grew up in, it was the decade that really molded my outlook on music, movies, and culture. It was a magnificent time, before the internet, before DVRs, when cartoons were pretty awful, but we loved them, movie studios took actual risks on directors and music was amazing.</div><div><br /></div><div>I struggled with adding in an "intro" to each of these shows, but ultimately decided against it. I think that doing that sort of thing really interrupts the flow of a good play list. I just want you to sit back, close your eyes and just listen to the music. Let it soak in, feel it, fall in love with it again. This isn't a specialty list of just one genre or another, it's every album released for January. I will be doing the same thing for each month of the 1980s, all the way through to 1989.</div><div><br /></div><div>Please enjoy this.

Tyson had a brief conversation with townsend and everything seemed cool, until Tyson asked him to stop talking to him but according to reports Melvin Townsend III "was extremely intoxicated ... and wouldn't stop provoking Tyson." and allegedly threw a water bottle at him</div><div>But that's not all - Melvin reportedly has a lengthy criminal history and was listed as a "habitual felony offender" in 2019 after he received a 25-year sentence for grand theft. Townsend has also been convicted of identity fraud, trafficking in stolen property, use of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription.</div><div><br /></div><div>After punching the man several times in the face, witnesses claim Tyson then walked off the plane. Townsend got medical attention and went to the police regarding what happened. Tyson was in San Francisco on Wednesday to attend the city's 420 cannabis festival in Golden Gate Park and was supposed to speak at the event that day, but his speech was pushed back.</div><div><br /></div><div>While San Francisco Police declined to immediately name the individuals involved in the incident, it said two subjects were apprehended at the airport and later released, per ESPN. One of those subjects received treatment for non-life threatening injuries at the scene but gave "minimal details" of what happened and "refused to cooperate further with the police investigation."</div><div><br /></div><div>Retooled PlayStation Plus Sets Launch Dates</div><div>Friday, April 22nd 2022 1:42 pm</div><div>Sony has announced a release date schedule for its new three-tier PlayStation Plus subscription service.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div>The rollout will begin in Asian markets (excluding Japan) on May 23rd followed by a Japanese launch on June 1st. It will then hit the Americas on June 13th followed by a European launch on June 22nd. No word on Australia/New Zealand release dates yet.</div><div><br /></div><div>Additionally, Sony will be expanding its cloud streaming access to multiple European countries including Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Republic of Cyprus, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia.</div><div><br /></div><div>The new features will allow players to access modern titles through the subscription service, as well as catalogue titles from past PlayStation platforms depending upon which tier you’re after.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sony will offer markets without cloud streaming availability a separate third tier at a lower price that does not include any cloud streaming options.</div><div><br /></div><div>Also, Gematsu recently revealed that four “Syphon Filter” games have been rated for the PS4 & PS5 – suggesting these might be some of the titles of that ‘back catalogue’ on the premiere tier.</div><div><br /></div><div>The news comes as it has also been revealed Sony will follow suit on Microsoft’s recently announced plans to incorporate in-game advertisements in free-to-play games. Sony is reportedly exploring the idea of adverts that would appear in-game worlds “like they’re part of the game” and, like with Xbox last week, comparing them to billboards in sports arenas. Both companies appear to have been working on the idea for over a year and it’s not clear who is further ahead in terms of implementation.</div><div><br /></div><div>Schwarzenegger Spy Series Fills Out Its Cast</div><div>Friday, April 22nd 2022 1:30 pm</div><div>Netflix and Skydance Television have locked in the major cast for the upcoming Arnold Schwarzenegger-led spy adventure series which would mark the actor’s first TV series role.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div>Currently untitled, the series begins when Luke (Schwarzenegger) and his daughter Emma (Monica Barbaro) learn that they’ve each secretly been working as CIA Operatives for years. The pair soon realize their entire relationship has been a lie and they truly don’t know one another at all but are soon forced to team up as partners.</div><div><br /></div><div>Nine names have been added as regulars with five more joining in a recurring capacity. Of the regulars, numerous roles are CIA officers including Travis Van Winkle as the wise-ass but sweet Aldon, Milan Carter as the desk-locked loveable man-child Barry, Fortune Feimster as Luke’s sarcastic protege Roo, and Barbara Eve Harris will play the tough regional director Dot.</div><div><br /></div><div>Outside the agency, there’s Jay Baruchel as Emma’s sweet and unsuspecting kindergarten teacher boyfriend Carter, Gabriel Luna as charismatic arms trader Boro, Aparna Brielle as the slightly intimidated NSA analyst Tina on loan to the CIA, Fabiana Udenio as Luke’s ex-wife Tally and Andy Buckley as Tally’s thoughtful current boyfriend.</div><div><br /></div><div>On the recurring front Devon Bostick will play Luke and Tally’s aspiring app developer adult son Oscar with Stephanie Sy as his supportive wife Sandy and Rachel Lynch as his 6yo daughter Romi, David Chinchilla will play Boro’s intimidating first lieutenant Cain Khan, and Scott Thompson as CIA psychologist and therapist Dr. Louis Pfeffer.</div><div><br /></div><div>The series hails from creator, executive producer and showrunner Nick Santora (“Scorpion”) with Schwarzenegger, Adam Higgs, Scott Sullivan and Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Bill Bost also executive producing.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Kurtzman Talks “The Mummy” Reboot Failure</div><div>Friday, April 22nd 2022 12:41 pm</div><div>Five years on, the legacy of the Alex Kurtzman-directed 2017 reboot of “The Mummy” is one of failure.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div>The film was a flop with critics, audiences and at the box-office, in one move torpedoing Universal’s ambitious plans for its larger ‘Dark Universe’ initiative as audiences that Summer opted to stick with Patty Jenkins’ well-received “Wonder Woman”.</div><div><br /></div><div>Over the years, reports have put the blame on the failure of “The Mummy” on both star/producer Tom Cruise who was involved in every aspect of the film’s production, to Kurtzman himself who hasn’t directed a film since.</div><div><br /></div><div>On the just-released episode of the Bingeworthy podcast and whilst out promoting the new “The Man Who Fell To Earth” series launching on Showtime this weekend, Kurtzman spoke about his experience directing “The Mummy” and says its very public failure was a major lesson for him:</div><div><br /></div><div>“I tend to subscribe to the point of view that you learn nothing from your successes, and you learn everything from your failures. And that was probably the biggest failure of my life, both personally and professionally.</div><div><br /></div><div>There are about a million things I regret about it, but it also gave me so many gifts that are inexpressibly beautiful. I didn’t become a director until I made that movie, and it wasn’t because it was well directed – it was because it wasn’t.</div><div><br /></div><div>And I would not have understood many of the things that I now understand about what it means to be a director had I not gone through that experience. And as brutal as it was, in many ways, and with as many cooks in the kitchen as there were, I am very grateful for the opportunity to make those mistakes because it rebuilt me into a tougher person, and it also rebuilt me into a clearer filmmaker.</div><div><br /></div><div>Look, if you look at history and you look at people who’ve made amazing things, every single one of them will tell you the same story, which is that it came after a failure, so I look back on it now with gratitude.

While Holt is the lead composer, she confirmed to Vanity Fair that the one and only John Williams will return to write a theme for the Obi-Wan character:</div><div><br /></div><div>“Obi-Wan is a legacy character that John hadn’t written a theme for because he died quite early on in ‘A New Hope.’ It’s the only legacy character that he hadn’t done.</div><div><br /></div><div>So he spoke to [Lucasfilm president] Kathleen Kennedy and said, ‘I just want to write [an Obi-Wan] theme.’ So who can deny him that? And he did, he wrote the Obi theme, and it just embodies the spirit of the show entirely.</div><div><br /></div><div>Owbviously, I’m just thrilled to be mentioned in the same breath as John Williams. It’s been exciting and overwhelming at times, because I’m such a fan. I want to pay respect to the history of it, and do it justice as well.”</div><div><br /></div><div>Holt, currently at work on HBO Max’s “Batgirl” film, is an avid “Star Wars” fan who first watched the original trilogy at age five.

Discovery retools its streaming strategy.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div>Launched on March 29th, the service is set to shut down on April 30th and subscribers will receive prorated refunds for their fees. Employees were informed of the decision Thursday by incoming CNN CEO Chris Licht.</div><div><br /></div><div>WarnerMedia reportedly spent some $300 million on the launch of the service which was heavily criticised for being too little, too late. Then of course came the newly formed Warner Bros. Discovery with mostly new executives in charge and everything is up for review. In a statement, Licht says:</div><div><br /></div><div>“As we become Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN will be strongest as part of WBD’s streaming strategy which envisions news as an important part of a compelling broader offering along with sports, entertainment, and nonfiction content.</div><div><br /></div><div>We have therefore made the decision to cease operations of CNN+ and focus our investment on CNN’s core news-gathering operations and in further building CNN Digital. This is not a decision about quality; we appreciate all of the work, ambition and creativity that went into building CNN+, an organization with terrific talent and compelling programming. But our customers and CNN will be best served with a simpler streaming choice.”</div><div><br /></div><div>Despite the shutdown, it’s expected CNN programming will become an important piece of WB Discovery’s overall streaming lineup.</div><div><br /></div><div>Some shows are expected to find their way to HBO Max which is becoming the centerpiece of the company’s streaming efforts for the near future – at least until a combined Warner Bros.

But as much as I am a fan of that, I am a bigger fan of consumer choice. And allowing consumers who would like to have a lower price, and are advertising-tolerant get what they want, makes a lot of sense.”</div><div><br /></div><div>Hastings adds the fact that AVOD tiers have been embraced by its competitors like Hulu, Disney and HBO which has led to his company changing its thinking as the model has shown to work for those competitors. Hastings adds that when Netflix does launch an ad-backed tier, it would do so as a publisher without the data tracking and ad-matching that some competitors are embracing. </div><div><br /></div><div>The news will come as music to the ears of various top marketers who have been pushing for the streaming giant to let them advertise on the service.</div><div><br /></div><div>SEGA has premiered the trailer and set a June 23rd release date for “Sonic Origins,” an upcoming remastered collection of four classic titles from the “Sonic the Hedgehog” game franchise.</div><div> </div><div>The original 16-bit “Sonic the Hedgehog” from 1991, “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” from 1992, “Sonic CD” from 1993, and “Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles ” from 1994.</div><div><br /></div><div>The pack includes both the original ‘Classic Mode’ releases and full ‘Anniversary Mode’ remasters with upgraded animations and visuals, infinite lives, widescreen support, additional game modes and missions, and allows players to unlock content in an in-game museum.</div><div><br /></div><div>There is also a Boss Rush mode allowing players to battle the games’ bosses back to back in quick succession, and a Mirror Mode in which players traverse mirrored stages.</div><div><br /></div><div>One key defining change is the ability to play as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles through any and all stages of these games, allowing for all-new ways to play in some classic levels. There are also new animated sequences similar to those in “Sonic Mania” and will be played at key moments in the story.</div><div><br /></div><div>Unfortunately, SEGA has made purchasing the game oddly complicated by offering multiple versions and locking off some elements as paid DLC. Head to the official site to figure out which version to buy. From the looks of it, the only way to get everything is to pre-order the ‘Digital Deluxe Edition’.</div><div><br /></div><div>“Sonic Origins” will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC starting June 23rd.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are set to re-team for a drama feature revolving around iconic sportswear giant Nike that has been set up at Amazon Studios, Skydance Sports and Mandalay Pictures.</div><div><br /></div><div>Both will star and Affleck will direct the film which is currently untitled and set in the mid-1980s. Damon will play Sonny Vaccaro, a maverick sneaker salesman who led a fledgling running shoe company called Nike in a longshot effort to sign on the most transformative athlete in the history of sports to endorse their product: Michael Jordan.</div><div><br /></div><div>Affleck will portray Nike co-founder Phil Knight in the story which follows how the endorsement, seemingly impossible at the time, would become the most significant relationship between an athletic brand and an athlete and launched the global, multi-billion-dollar contemporary sneaker industry.</div><div><br /></div><div>Jordan himself is a mythic figure hovering above the movie and never seen. In the film, Sonny tries to reach him by gaining access to those close to him and around him.</div><div><br /></div><div>Alex Convery wrote the original script which was originally titled “Air Jordan” and made the 2021 Black List of the best unproduced screenplays.</div><div><br /></div><div>Affleck and Damon are doing a new pass on the script and will produce.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power</div><div>Amazon has released two more photos from their “Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” series, these ones showing off the characters of Theo (Tyroe Muhafidin) and Bronwyn (Nazanin Boniadi).
