God Friended Me: Behind The Scenes (Series Teaser)
Hmm. “God Friended Me” seems intriguing, but I was on the fence. But hold the phone: I now HAVE to watch this… Because my cousin Michele shared it in her timeline like ‘recommended’… AND because this is a Greg Berlanti production (like Arrow, Flash, DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow… you get it). THIS is exactly why I watch credits!!
A young atheist is sent on a series of adventures after accepting an unexpected friend request from God. Take a peek behind the scenes at CBS’ new fall drama, God Friended Me.
Ah, Joe Morton has this new gig. Moving on since Scandal. Cool.

Dave Chappelle Gets Back Into Movie Acting In ‘A Star Is Born’ (Trailer)
“A Star is Born†stars Bradley Cooper (“American Sniper,†“American Hustle,†the “A-Team†movie) and pop music superstar Lady Gaga, in her first leading role in a major motion picture. Cooper also directs. In this tragic love story, Cooper plays seasoned musician Jackson Maine, who discovers—and falls in love with—struggling artist Ally (played by Gaga). The characters start building a relationship, but as Ally’s career takes off, the relationship starts breaking down, as Jack fights his inner demons.
The cast of “A Star is Born†also includes shock comedian and actor Andrew Dice Clay, movie vet Sam Elliott, and Dave Chappelle. Chappelle plays Noodles, a close friend of the film’s main character Jackson.
New ‘Bumblebee’ Transformer Movie Features Iconic Yellow Volkswagen Beetle Vehicle Form (Trailer)

Not mad at this at all. Feels like this flick’s storytelling will move closer to the comics and old cartoons. Good stories, maybe enough to pull a good movie from. When the Transformers emerged from 4 million years stasis on Earth, Bumblebee was a key figure. Though not the biggest or strongest, he was often entrusted with important spy missions, with protecting the Witwickys (Sparkplug, who helped discover a fuel conversion process for the Autobots, and his son Buster)… plus he could SWIM (comic fact-checking by ojones1, so y’all can ‘at’ him if you wanna argue, hahaaaa)!
Of course, Hollywood won’t stick to the 80s story too tight, but this still could make for a good holiday film.
Watch The Latest Teaser For ‘The Equalizer 2’ (Trailer)
Saw a bit on ESPN (I think) where Denzel Washington was talking to some pro athlete (I think) and was saying, “I don’t do sequels.” And I thought… wow, he really doesn’t. I cannot think of a sequel that Denzel has done… until now!
Robert McCall serves an unflinching justice for the exploited and oppressed, but how far will he go when that is someone he loves?

#Equalizer2 in theaters July 20th, and it’s gonna be DOPE! Just look at the latest trailer.

Event: Hip-Hop Stew Launch Party
Was checking out Techniques Radio on WREK.org last night and they got the word out on this Hop Stew Launch Party. Looks like a good look for the long weekend. Consider chilling and partying with a cause for at least part of this party weekend. More, much more, at HopStew.com but here’s a good blurb on the event…
Hop Stew Launch will be a fun-filled day party with performances from Hip-Hop legend El Da Sensei of The Artifacts, Shabaam Sahdeeq, John Robinson, Beneficence, Stahhr and Phoenyx. It’s going to be a boom bap extravaganza for true Hip-Hop lovers! Our launch will be hosted by Fort Knox! Music will be provided by DJ Dug Boogie and DJ Fudge. Patrons can enjoy an amazing art exhibit. Hop Stew will be donating a portion of all funds raised at launch to the Kidney Foundation. In 2016, our beloved Dug Boogie was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) which there is no cure for. Boogie needs a kidney transplant. So, one can only imagine why The Kidney Foundation is a cause dear to our hearts. The launch is geared towards raising funds and awareness. Hop Stew is Hip-Hop for a cause!

Queen’s New Biopic, “Bohemian Rhapsody” (Trailer)
Okay, so we can mark one dope film coming out in November. Looks like the film will be an epic retelling of the come-up story of Freddie Mercury and Queen.
“Bohemian Rhapsody” is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music, and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury, who defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound, their near-implosion as Mercury’s lifestyle spirals out of control, and their triumphant reunion on the eve of Live Aid, where Mercury, facing a life-threatening illness, leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. In the process, cementing the legacy of a band that was always more like a family, and who continue to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.

Due Out Mid-Summer, An Epic Bio Film Will Tell Us All “Whitney” (Trailer)
Hours before the film's World Premiere at Cannes Film Festival, experience the official U.S. Trailer for #Whitney. The voice. The icon. The untold true story. #ILoveYouWhitney pic.twitter.com/63aJEQsu41
— Whitney (@whitneythefilm) May 16, 2018
This July 6th in U.S. theaters… there will be tears. Man, oh, man. They got commentary from Bobby, best friends, family, and insiders who KNEW “Whitney” for real. The film promises to tell all, ALL of it! Sure you want to know it ALL?
Really think about that. The answer is ‘yes’ of course. But if you murmured the words, “I Love You, Whitney“ at the end with the cat in the trailer… just saying, everything about the ‘beautiful people’ in our lives wasn’t beautiful. Prepare for that, but certainly keep the love. Always.
Watch The Red Band Teaser For “Sorry To Bother You” (Trailer) [NSFW]
Well, damn. ‘Weaponized hilarity’ for a film about telemarketing though? Okay. The jury was kinda out with us on this flick, but Lakeith Stanfield gets a nod for his work in “Atlanta” to be certain. He and Zazie are on to other screens with their careers since their Fx breakthrough. Good looks!

It stars Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Jermaine Fowler, Omari Hardwick, Terry Crews, Patton Oswalt, David Cross, Danny Glover, Steven Yeun, and Armie Hammer.

Red Band trailer. Always a good look ahead for a movie that is gonna go raw. Speaking of going raw… Maybe don’t play this at work.
Latest Teaser For John Travolta’s “Gotti” (Trailer)
“Gotti” comes to the big screens on June 15th, and the flick is looking pretty damn tough. Travolta has played gangster roles before, but they were nowhere near as heavy, or REAL, as the head of the Gambino Crime Family. Take a peek.

Fantom Of The Beat – “Autobiography” feat. Rhymerecka (Trailer)
Took off the music scene for a good while to meet life head-on and handle it like an O.G. Now Rhymerecka is back to being that dope emcee. How do we know? Well, the homie hit the inbox and leaked a visual sneak peek of what he and Fantom Of The Beat have in store… that he okay’d our sharing with all y’all. You’re welcome!
Grammy Nominated, R.I.A.A. Double Platinum and Gold Certified Mega-Producer, Fantom Of The DOPE Production Unit, Fantom Of The Beat drops the long-awaited video for his Third Single, “AUTOBIOGRAPHY.†“AUTOBIOGRAPHY†drops Spring/Summer 2018 and features Rhymerecka. Both the Song and the Video continues to give us that New York Hip-Hop sound that is sorely missing from today’s so-called Rap music scene. Recka conjures visions of inner city life and illustrates the path to the forest beyond the trees with every pen stroke. Bar for bar Rhymerecka navigates an emotional ti-raid of lyrics over Fantom’s cinematic landscape and newsworthy vocal assistance of the spirit of Malcolm X. Take a trip through the mind of an early 90’s evolution into manhood through the right of passage through the streets of New York.
Eljay Williams Presents “Pathways” (Trailer)
Put the soundtrack on here a while back. Now we post more movement on Williams movie project. Peep the “Pathways” trailer.
Concert promoter Sean Pathways is searching for answers to his failures while carrying the pressures of everyone’s chance at success. He attempts to balance a stagnant career and relationships with his music producing girlfriend (Beautiful) and his ex-girlfriend Ann. Ann is the leader of an all-female rap group he is promoting and Beautiful, under Sean’s influence, produces the group. He finds himself wanting and expecting too much from every aspect of his life and something has got to give.
The film is loosely based on the Independent Hip Hop Scene in Atlanta and features many of the artists, promoters, DJs, and producers that thrive there. The look, sound and feel of the film is directly influenced by Eljay’s years of covering the scene for his documentary series The Stand. The film’s soundtrack, which is dominated by Atlanta’s indie artists, authenticates the Emmy Nominated/Telly Award Winning Producer/Director’s vision.

Is Marvel trying to take DC out? Asking for a friend (who may or may not be worried about DC’s survival in the coming months). Check it. “Black Panther” was the Spring face smash across the movie industry… Then “Avengers: Infinity Wars” followed up with the heart stomp… and they still have “Deadpool 2” and “Ant-Man & The Wasp”. Plus all the Marvel TV series coming back and coming soon this summer and fall AND the Netflix game Marvel is killing.
Oh wait, I’m sorry. DC had a good debut season for “Black Lightning.” Respect. But that about it.
Just watch the trailer. And somebody tell DC to step it up over there!
