What's Streaming This Month? The Spookiest Thing Of All: Puberty!

October 01, 2019

We made it to October, folks! Which means we've got 31 days to indulge our nastiest, scariest, bloodiest viewing inclinations with abandon... or if that's not your bag, I guess you'll be stuck trying to dodge all that horror while waiting for those cheesy Christmas-themed romances to drop. Me? I'll be chugging some spiked mulled cider and watching Creepshow, thanks!

SHUDDER

I'm breaking format to add Shudder here this month, because I feel the need to remind everyone that Creepshow is very entertaining. Why am I stumping so hard for this horror anthology? Three reasons: I'm easily pleased, I have a short attention span, and "stumping" sounds like I got my leg chopped off, which is thematically relevant! Anyway, new episodes drop on Thursdays and there are only six in total so enjoy it while it lasts!

FACEBOOK WATCH

Oh look -- more platforms! Apple TV+ and Disney+ are launching in November, but Facebook Watch has been chugging along for awhile now, so I figured maybe I should start paying attention? That Elizabeth Olsen show, Sorry For Your Loss, returns for its second season today. But the premiere I'm most looking forward to is Limetown, which is an adaptation of the hit podcast starring Jessica Biel and Stanley Tucci. It's about a journalist investigating the mysterious disappearances of 300 people from a research facility, and it launches October 16.

HULU

Phew, alright, I'm back on solid ground. This month Hulu has a season 7 of LetterKenny dropping on October 14, and the debut of the limited series Looking For Alaska on October 18. That one is an adaptation of the John Green novel, produced by Josh Schwartz, all about... teenagers? I'm gonna say teenagers. And emotions. Young, fresh, teen emotions.

But the real news is the return of Castle Rock on October 23! The Stephen King mashup anthology's second season focuses on Lizzy Caplan as wacky ("whacky"?) nurse Annie Wilkes, while Eighth Grade's Elsie Fisher plays her daughter and Tim Robbins returns to the King fold as Pop Merrill. Does Caplan absolutely nail the correct pronunciation of "cockadoodie"? YOU BETCHA!

AMAZON PRIME

The third season of Billy Bob Thornton's Goliath returns on October 4, but October 18 is the date you'll wanna mark in your calendars -- because that's when the new original series, Modern Love, launches. Inspired by the New York Times column of the same name, the series explores romance by hiring ALL THE ACTORS YOU LOVE and putting them in the same damn place. Think I'm joking? Here's the freakin' cast: Anne Hathaway, Tina Fey, Sofia Boutella (as a blonde!), Dev Patel, Hot Priest Andrew Scott, John Slattery, Olivia Cooke, Catherine Keener, James Saito, Cristin Milioti, Gary Carr, and so so so many more. I know I should be listing all the horror movies you could watch on Prime this month, but this is my rodeo and nothing frightens me more than knowing something is going to 100% make me cry. This looks cloying as hell but effective!

NETFLIX

Did I say that crying is scary? I meant puberty. That's the thing that freaks me out. Which is probably why Netflix is kicking things off with the return of Big Mouth on October 4. New cast members include Thandie Newton as Missy's Hormone Monstress, and Ali Wong as a new student whom I'm sure absolutely no one is going to awkwardly hit on. Nope. She'll be fine.

Also arriving on October 4 is the original film In The Tall Grass, based on the novella by Stephen King and Joe Hill and directed by Cube's Vincenzo Natali. It's about some people who get lost in a field of, um, tall grass? BUT SCARY. I dig it already:

Also also on October 4 is "kid with super powers" show, Raising Dion, in which a young mother discovers that her son, uh, has super powers. But seriously, for a familiar story this one at least looks visually marvelous. Alisha Wainwright, Michael B. Jordan, Ja'Siah Young, and Jason Ritter star.

And later this month (October 25, to be precise), Eddie Murphy stars in Dolemite Is My Name, based on the true story of Rudy Ray Moore, the legendary performer who created a Blaxpoitation phenomenon in the 70s. The movie also stars Wesley Snipes, Craig Robinson, Keegan-Michael Key, Chris Rock, Snoop Dogg, Tituss Burgess, and Kodi Smit-McPhee.

And that's it, right? OH NO WAIT -- THERE'S THAT BREAKING BAD MOVIE! Jesse Pinkman is back in El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie on October 11, directed by Vince Gilligan.

Public Support for Impeachment Grows: The Latest on the Impeachment of President Donald Trump

October 01, 2019

The impeachment news cycle has finally slowed down a bit. I mean, just look at yesterday: All that happened was that we found that Donald Trump was also using the power of his Presidency to pressure Australia's Prime Minister to find information that might help him personally; William Barr personally asked British and Italian intelligence officials to try and discredit the Mueller report; and Giuliani's Ukraine records were subpoenaed. In 1974, that's three months of news. In 2019, that's a slow-news Monday.

There has been no big breaking news today yet (it's only 9:30 a.m.), but I think below is another attempt by Trump to scare away Democrats by threatening some kind of Civil War by pitting large landmasses against densely populated centers.

pic.twitter.com/dOta1Z9gtZ
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 1, 2019

Cool, cool. Because what I see is a map where Donald Trump lost by 3 million votes. Also, where is St. Louis on that map? Is it red, too? Because The St. Louis Dispatch -- a Midwestern newspaper -- just called upon the Republicans to dump Trump.

Meanwhile, several more polls have surfaced, each showing growing support for impeaching the President (despite the fact that 60 percent of Americans still believe that "impeach" means "remove from office.") According to Reuters, support has risen 8 percent in the last week; a CNN poll shows 47 percent support; and a CBS polls shows 55 percent support for the impeachment inquiry. This one is from Quinnapac. It shows a 20 point swing:

New Quinnipiac poll

IMPEACH TRUMP?

47% of Americans say YES
47% of Americans say NO

That's a net 20-point swing in one week

Last week: 37% impeach, 57% don'thttps://t.co/UpfqM8pTYo
— Sahil Kapur (@sahilkapur) September 30, 2019

Again, polls do matter here, because Senate Republicans will base their decisions on those polls. Also, the more people that turn against Trump, the more insane the man gets, which creates an insanity-spiral, which leads to more Americans turning in Trump.

Finally (for now), the Democrats are weighing now releasing another whistleblower complaint from another federal official alleging that Trump used "inappropriate efforts to influence" the IRS in its audit of his taxes.

The Hollywood Gossip

Dancing With The Stars Recap: ANOTHER Contestant Injury!

October 01, 2019

Last week, it was a bit of a shock to see who went home on Dancing With The Stars.

This week, Ray Lewis had to sit out from dancing, as training had awoken an old sports injury. He has to have surgery on the tendons in his foot.

Producers were able to scramble and come up with a substitution, but that wasn't the night's only surprise. ...

DWTS night 3 - Rashad Jennings (substitute)

Former winner Rashad Jennings stepped up to fill in for Ray, performing a Cha Cha with Cheryl Burke.

This special substitution presented their best interpretation of what had been planned for Ray.

Honestly, producers have to fill timeslots right down to the second.

Then came Lauren Alaina and Gleb Savchenko performing a Tango.

Lauren moves well, but she is not super confident or giving off the right vibes. It seems to be a mental thing, rather than physical.

The judges decreed: 6 7 7

Hannah Brown and Alan Bersten were a joy as they performed the Rumba, and not only because of their choice of music. But also that.

This was a surprisingly sub-par performance for Hannah, but only because Hannah is a great dancer. It was still very good.

The judges agreed, handing out: 7 7 7

Karamo Brown and Jenna Johnson did not exactly wow the panel with their Jive.

Remember, even the most fun formal dances are about controlled movements. Karamo's were a little erratic, which was disappointing.

The judges want to see better from him, and awarded him: 5 5 6

Ally Brooke and Sasha Farber performed a Rumba.

This was a jarringly good performance and showed noticeable improvemen. Ally's movements were beautiful and a pleasure to watch.

The judges felt the same way, doling out: 8 8 8

Kel Mitchell and Witney Carson also came in with a Rumba.

Kel's dancing was a little stiff. It looks like he really just needs more experience with dance and he can improve -- which is the point of the show.

Though he ended up in the danger zone by the episode's end, Kel received a 7 6 7

James Van Der Beek and Emma Slater were nothing short of majestic as they danced a Rumba.

At this point James at least has some competition, but he continues to bully everyone with his graceful dancing and his charisma (despite one slip up).

The judges ruled: 8 7 8

Kate Flannery and Pasha Pashkov continued their marked improvement since the first episode with a Quickstep.

She really did well, with only one slip up. In fact, Kate seems to have an instinct for dance that makes her a joy to watch.

That's how the judges felt, too, as they handed her: 8 8 8

Sailor Brinkley-Cook and Val Chmerkovskiy danced a Tango.

Sailor treated audiences to an almost too dazzling smile and moved with the grace of a professional. This is where you really see dance as an art form.
