GO-BIG SHOW Extreme Talent Competition To Premiere in 2021

 Go-Big Show is set to be an hour-long extreme talent competition starring celebrity judges Snoop Dogg, Rosario Dawson, Jennifer Nettles and “The American Nightmare” Cody and hosted by popular comedian Bert Kreischer. It will showcases supersized talents on a scale never before seen on television. Featuring monster trucks, alligator trainers, stunt archery and other radical feats, the program celebrates daring acts alongside personal, behind-the-scenes stories from the challengers as they battle head-to-head to impress the judges and advance toward the finale’s ultimate $100,000 prize.

Go-Big Show has begun production on 10 episodes at the Macon Coliseum in Georgia, where contenders and staff are operating under strict Covid-19 safety protocols and isolating together for the duration of production.

While the 7,000 seats within the arena will remain empty during tapings, the show’s lively indoor festivities will extend outdoors to TV’s first-ever, interactive drive-in audience. Spectators will cheer for their favorite competitors in real time during a socially-distanced tailgate party just outside the venue.
“Go-Big Show celebrates unique, nontraditional and unforgettable American talent,” said Corie Henson, EVP and head of unscripted programming for TBS, TNT and truTV. “Each contestant brings tremendous heart and swagger, which also perfectly describes Bert and our judges, a dream team of larger-than-life talent.”

Go-Big Show debuts on TBS in 2021,  and is produced by Propagate and Matador Content, a Boatrocker Company.

Full Frontal Samantha Bee on Covid-19's Politicization

 Sam dons her best lab coat blazer to deliver an in-depth look at the politicization of the COVID-19 vaccine and the history of vaccine science. According to Frontal, It’s not surprising that Trump is pushing for a rushed COVID-19 vaccine in order to gain cheap political points. But good things take time! So plan on taking shots, not getting them, come November.

 Is It Vaccine Season, Yet?
As summer ends and fall begins, nothing sounds better than a pumpkin spice latte and a shot of COVID-19 vaccine! But if we can wait all year for Starbucks to release the PSL, we can wait a little longer for a safe and effective vaccine.

JOHN LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE (2020) - New Documentary Review

On July 3, 2020 I saw a pre-screening of  the new John Lewis documentary JOHN LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE (2020), produced by Magnolia Pictures, I am saddened that my scheduled  review of the film would be released one day after his passing.   Nonetheless, I am honored to have had to opportunity to get up-close and personal with Lewis, via this documentary.   

JOHN LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE (2020) is simply brilliant!  From the moment the film begins and we see Lewis  walk into an almost empty auditorium,  for what would be his private viewing of images and video related to this documentary, we know we are in for a special treat. 

As he gently sits on the stage, looking up towards the black & white images as they flash across the screen, he admits he has never seen many of the images before.  However, you quickly come to understand his in-depth knowledge of the moments the images were captured more than 60 years prior.   He asks the theatre technician to pause an image for a moment.  Lewis then states,  “I’ve never seen this photo before. You see the man standing next to me?  He’s got his hand up to his nose because he knows we are getting ready to be gassed.”  

JOHN LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE fast forward and rewinds us back and forth 60 plus years throughout  Congressman John Robert Lewis’ life.  We are afforded the opportunity to walk with him through the halls of the US Congress, the streets of Washington D.C., his private home, and then back to his childhood farm where, as he says, “As a child, I wanted to be a preacher SO bad, that I’d gather the chickens around and I’d preach to the chickens!”  Lewis laughs and goes on…  “Yes, my siblings wouldn’t sit long enough to listen to me. So I’d preach to those chickens.” He laughs some more.

Through the age of 80 he preached a new message to the world from his seat in the US Congress.  And his message is simple.  “Go out and get into some good trouble!”  Lewis would say.  And with these words, Lewis is told us to not be afraid to speak up and spark the kind of trouble that will cause positive change in our society and world.  

In JOHN LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE (2020) the film’s Director, Dawn Porter (Trapped (2016) - Gideons Army (2013), along with Producers: Erika Alexander, Ben Arnon and  Laura Michalchyshyn, do an excellent job of not only getting up-close and personal with Congressman Lewis,  who represented the 5^th District of Georgia, they are able to capture the true sense of Lewis’ character.  We witness how Lewis sincerely cared, not only for the public, but for those who work for and serve him in private.  We watch the gentle way in which he addressed his personal executive assistants, drivers and staff, giving back to them equal, if not more, service than they render unto him.

JOHN LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE (2020) chronicles Lewis' 60-plus years of social activism and legislative action on issues including: civil rights, voting rights, gun control, health-care reform and immigration. The film co-stars, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Henry Louis Gates Jr. Corey Booker, ILhan Omar, Nancy Pelosi, Eric Holder, Michael Collins, Jamila Thompson, Beto O’Rourke and Stacey Abrams.  Rare  images and video footage of Julian Bond, Lyndon B. Johnson, Malcolm X, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. are also contained within the documentary as well. 

US Congressman and Representative, John Robert Lewis passed away on July 17, 2020, at age 80.  He was a key figure and confidante of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the height of the Civil Rights Movement.  And through this film, we learn the very private details of exactly how he and King met after unknown activist; Lewis wrote Dr. King a personal letter.   King would later invite Lewis for a private meeting eventually adopting Lewis into his inner circle with Lewis ultimately becoming one of Dr. King’s most trusted confidants and advocates of the non-violent philosophy and Civil Rights Movement. 

JOHN LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE (2020) is a great historical film about US Congressman and Representative, John Robert Lewis (February 21, 1940 – July 17, 2020).  It is a documentary people of all races should see along with their children.  It will be the best “GOOD TROUBLE” you’ll ever watch.

Ant-Man + Wasp The Big & Small

 In the aftermath of 'Captain America: Civil War,' Scott Lang grapples with the consequences of his choices as both a Super Hero and a father. Known as Scott Lang when he’s off duty, the Ant-Man's superhero career got off to a shaky start. 

He's an electrical engineer turned thief turned superhero who doesn’t have a mythology, natural powers or a dramatic original story that can be repeatedly retold for eternity. What he does have is a cool suit that enables him to downsize and scale up while having superhuman strength and allows him to communicate with insects that do his bidding. Sometimes, he hitches a ride on the back of a flying ant.

 As he struggles to re-balance his home life with his responsibilities as Ant-Man, he's confronted by Hope van Dyne and Dr. Hank Pym with an urgent new mission. Scott must once again put on the suit and learn to fight alongside The Wasp as the team works together to uncover secrets from their past. 

In this new sequel, “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” is an engaging goof that resists bludgeoning you with bigness and instead settles for good vibes and jokes. Director, Peyton Reed, (Ant-Man-2015, Bring It On, Yes Man), took special care in directing his very first major motion picture sequel.  

"It was great and a different experience for me mostly because I
had never directed a sequel before in my career. I had chances
to direct sequels, but I hadn’t been interested. This one, for
obvious reasons felt like, okay, there’s a lot more story to tell
with these characters that I have a genuine affection and kind of
protective feeling about these characters." said, Reed.

With Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, and Michael Peña returning, plus a new set of characters, including Michelle Pfeiffer as the original Wasp, Janet van Dyne, Reed says he was in a unique Directorial position to do exactly what he always wanted to do with Ant-Man and the Wasp.
