If you grew up in the mid-2000s and regularly tuned into the Discovery Kids channel, chances are you stumbled across a niche animated series that took ancient Greek mythology, superheroes, and teen angst, and threw them all into a blender. That show was the cleverly titled “Class of the Titans” — clearly a cute riff on “Clash of the Titans” — and imagined the demigod descendants of the Greek gods as high school students with superpowers. “Class of the Titans” is a Canadian production that originally premiered in late 2005 on the now-defunct Teletoon,…
Michael Wright, who starred as the lead vocalist Eddie King Jr. in Robert Townsend’s The Five Heartbeats and as Wesley Snipes’ brother in Sugar Hill, has died. He was 70. Wright died Wednesday in Los Angeles of heart failure and complications from Marchiafava-Bignami disease, a rare degenerative neurological disorder, TMZ reported. “Our family is grieving an enormous and deeply personal loss,” his wife, Susan, wrote on Instagram. “Michael, your work will live forever, but your love will live even longer in the hearts of those who knew you best. Rest peacefully, my love. You will be missed beyond words.” The…
Getty Hudson Williams is celebrating his girlfriend Katelyn Larson‘s birthday! On Saturday morning (August 22), the 25-year-old Heated Rivalry actor took to his Instagram Story to pen a super sweet tribute to the tattoo artist in honor of her birthday. “My darling you were eternalized when you ran to that sunset up that red dirt road,” Hudson began as he shared a photo of Katelyn on a sunset hike. “I’ve loved people deeply for a day, for a week and some for years but I’ll love her until I die,” he continued. “Not because I’m supposed to, or because that’s…
Picture Credit: Netflix Chompoo: Lost & Forgotten is the first true-crime documentary to come out of Netflix Thailand, covering the case of Nong Chompoo from 2020. The film covers the tragic death of the 3-year-old toddler, who disappeared from her home in Ban Kok Kork, and was found dead on a mountain in Phu Pha Yon National Park three days later. The perpetrator, Chaiphol ‘Uncle Phol’ Wipha, was interviewed throughout the documentary — speaking while he was on bail and still trying to maintain his media persona. Six years ago in 2020, Thailand was shaken by the unthinkable murder of three-year-old…
Let’s acknowledge the Big Tech elephant in the room. Midway through the new play Disruption — now playing off-Broadway through Oct. 4 at the Pershing Square Signature Center’s Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre — one of the characters in Andrew Stein’s timely drama casually name-drops Elon… as in Musk. While the Tesla founder isn’t a presence in the show otherwise, his shadow looms large over any piece of fiction that involves Silicon Valley. And invoking his name did inspire an audible reaction from the crowd at a performance that Gold Derby attended. “It was definitely more about referencing him as a…
Just three years after the allegedly last Insidious film, Insidious: The Red Door, was released, the 16-year-old franchise is back with a new entry: Insidious: Out of the Further. The Lambert family — mom Renai (Rose Byrne), dad Josh (Patrick Wilson) and son Dalton (Ty Simpkins) — are taking a well-earned break this time around. An almost new cast, including Amelia Eve and Nope’s Brandon Perea, is introduced, with one familiar face — Lin Shaye’s Elise Rainier, who, despite dying in the first film, has appeared in every sequel since 2010. Out of the Further is sure to make a…
Movie genres wax and wane over time in a way that can be borderline imperceptible. The Western did its slow fade through the 1960s, but it took a while to realize that it was heading into the sunset (and then, of course, it came back). On a less exalted level, I watched “Spa Weekend” and realized that the genre it’s in — the high-concept comedy with the concept in the title, the movie that puts out a vibe of “Look, I’m crass and dumb and obvious! And that’s why you like me!” — may now be entering its twilight zone. Written…
