Watch The Hatchfund Campaign Video For “Yasuke: Birth Of A Samurai” (Trailer)
September 27, 2017
Dude. DUDE! It’s legend meets line-and-ink in this animated Black Samurai joint in development. Gotta make this happen! If Tom Cruise can be “The Last Samurai,” can we please get the first Black Samurai project greenlit & funded… please?
(Watch above and see how YOU can help, too.)
Good feeling about this. Lionsgate Films AND the dude that brought the Kitana blade-swinging, head-decapitating ‘Duncan MacLeod Of The Clan MacLeod’ to life (Gregory Widen) are already attached. Dope!

Now THAT’S how you use your platform! Salute to JJ Watt of the Houston Texans and to Jimmy Fallon. That fund Watt has going to aid victims of Hurricane Harvey keeps growing a million bucks at a time, and The Tonight Show just added another million!
On top of that, Jimmy invited a Houston area Gospel choir to come take his audience to church in less than 5 minutes flat. If you’ve never been ‘full’ from some good church singing… get ready for that and press play above.

Clinton Cash (Documentary)
August 6, 2016
Okay. Hillary Clinton is the Democratic candidate for President of the United States. If elected, she will be the first woman to ascend to the Office. She has, and will, make history. But there is more than an ‘upside’ to the whole truth about Clinton. Watch the over an hour strong documentary above to get the other side. We MUST have the whole truth about our leaders.
Clinton Cash, is a feature documentary based on the Peter Schweizer book that the New York Times hailed as “The most anticipated and feared book of a presidential cycle.â€
Clinton Cash investigates how Bill and Hillary Clinton went from being “dead broke†after leaving the White House to amassing a net worth of over $150 million, with over $2 billion in donations to their foundation. This wealth was accumulated during Mrs. Clinton’s tenure as US Secretary of State through lucrative speaking fees and contracts paid for by foreign companies and Clinton Foundation donors.

The Kickstarter Fundraising Campaign For ‘Stretch And Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives’ Is Going On Now (Video)
September 9, 2015
A chance to contribute to the film that documents the contribution of two Hip-Hop radio icons. Man, Scarface was just talking about Stretch & Bobbito during that last radio interview we just posted here. Talk about full circle!
Peace! Stretch and Bobbito here, 25 years after our first WKCR broadcast. We’re amped to share the history of our landmark show in a feature length documentary titled STRETCH AND BOBBITO: RADIO THAT CHANGED LIVES (www.stretchandbobbito.com). The film, produced by Omar Acosta, was co-produced by us with Kool Bob Love directing and Stretchy music supervising. A classic combo, yo!
The documentary film is all but a reality, having surpassed its fundraising goal. But we linked the Kickstarter… still got a few days to kick in on it. The film is due out October 2015.
(Whew! Do you see all the folks that fell through the show back then??? History!)

‘Reading Rainbow’ My A$$… Star Trek’s LeVar Burton Reads “Go The F— To Sleep” (Video)
October 28, 2014
This post is funny AND touching. Gather ’round kids and get your funny first… Uncle LeVar aka young Kunta Kinte (‘Roots’) aka Lt. Commander Geordi Laforge (Star Trek: The Next Generation) is going to read one more nighty-night story. Just ONE more, and y’all are really pushing it.
For reaching our stretch goal, LeVar Burton sits the Rooster Teeth employees down for a reading of the popular “bedtime story.” This was done as part of Rooster Teeth’s 24-hour live-stream for Extra Life. Consider making a donation to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital of your choice. Visit http://www.extra-life.org/ to find out what you can do to help.
Well, done Commander. Well f–king done! Info on the very worthy cause for which Mr. Burton willingly stepped far outside his public persona to read, Extra Life, is included after the jump.
(Warning: Get some tissue.)
