So something kind of wonderful happened on last night’s Tony Award telecast. Amidst the wonderful opening number and raucous atmosphere, history was made: two women (Pam MacKinnon and Dianne Paulus) won the directing prizes, Cyndi Lauper became the first woman to win for Best Original Score without a writing partner, and four out of the eight acting winners were African American. Wait, what? Yes, the Tonys became the anti-Oscars, with women and minorities just winning every damn where. It was a wonder to behold not only for the sheer weight of the occasion, but because it didn’t feel out of place or momentous, just felt like the right people won. After doing the latest Awards Circuit podcast where in the subject of race came up and spurned on by a colleague’s great analysis of sexism within the Academy, I wanted to share my thoughts on why I think Hollywood is severely behind in terms of equality.
It seems like forever since we’ve heard anything from Nine Inch Nails despite numerous rumors of them getting back together and Trent Reznor’s great successes scoring films. But thankfully they’ve come back to grace us with some new music. Debuting on Youtube and EW, Came Back Haunted is the first song of their new album, Hesitation Marks, which will be released on September 3. On the 28th of September, they’ll kick off their new tour but till then check out the song!
It has come to my attention that we have reached a critical juncture in our society. People, and by people I mean celebrities, have been engaging fans and haters alike on social networks to some foolish to disastrous results. From the Ian Bohen tomfoolery to Dylan O’Brien casually replying to a fan who said they wanted to rape him if The Purge was real, things have just gone to shit (well not really but go with me here). I found myself the past two days, wanting it to go on forever cause I found it hilarious and wanting it to end out of mercy for their mentions. However, I’m a giving person, so I decided to help these social network challenged celebs out with a few tips to maximize your potential.
So Micah and I did a thing…welcome to the Demon Wolfcast, our podcast about MTV’s Teen Wolf! We decided to try our hand at doing a podcast specifically for the show, recapping last night’s episode, offering some theories and talking about news. Tonight’s episode we tackle the season premiere titled “Tattoo” where we return from a 4 month time jump where a new Alpha Pack arrives to wreak havoc on Scott’s life while Derek and Isaac struggle to locate Erica and Boyd. We also talk about the new opening credits, fan girl over the new additions to the cast, some news regarding 2 (TWO!) possible love triangles and we may or may not still be depressed about the Red Wedding on Game of Thrones. Check it out!
Teen Wolf has mercifully ended it’s 9 month hiatus to bring us the first episode of the highly anticipated 3rd season. Titled “Tattoo” the show refocuses us on the lovable characters in Beacon Hills and establishes that this will be one epic season. I wrote in my official review that this was the show’s most wolf-like season and this episode is just a great start on the journey. Let’s dig in shall we?
