From acclaimed director Shannon Kohli, and starring Raylene Harewood in an unforgettable performance, the exceptionally inspirational All Joking Aside – coming this November from Quiver Distribution.
CHARLENE MURRAY (Charlie to her friends) isn’t your average twenty-one year old. Inspired by her late father’s unrealized ambitions, she wants nothing more in life than to be a stand-up comic, and is equal parts thrilled and terrified by the fact that she’s finally old enough to get into a comedy club and actually try her material in front of paying customers. So with a fistful of jokes, and her stalwart friend KIM there to get her back, she heads to the LAUGHING HYENA, one of New York’s faded comedic hot spots, to hit her first ever open mic night. Glued to his barstool at the back of the room, with his fourth whiskey of the night in hand is BOB CARPENTER, and he’s not going to stop heckling until Charlie gives up the microphone. It doesn’t take long before he gets exactly what he wants, and Charlie, chastened, flees the club with Kim on her tail. When she later returns to the Hyena to talk to the manager DENNIS, he tells Charlie that if she really wants to learn the craft, then she’s got to be writing all the time, and studying people who know what they’re doing; people like Bob who, before his marriage and career collapsed and he became an alcoholic heckler, used to be one of the top touring comics in the country. He pulls out some old VHS tapes of the young and energetic performer, first showing him own the crowd with his raw, edgy material, and then in a different clip from his final performance a few years later, literally attacking them. Impressed by this new side of him, and with Dennis’ encouragement, Charlie decides that Bob is going to be her mentor whether he likes it or not, and sets about winning him over. As the two slowly feel each other out, what develops is an unlikely friendship based on broken families, a healthy appreciation of sarcasm, and the undeniable rush of making a whole room full of people laugh.
Brian Markinson (“Angels in America”), Tanya Jade and celebrated comedian Richard Lett co-star in a Shannon Kohli (“You”, “Riverdale”) film, scripted by James Pickering. Produced by Jon Ornoy.
Says Shannon Kohli, “There are certain jobs on film sets that have traditionally been crewed by men and others that are usually filled by women, and it was very clear from my first days working in the lighting and camera departments that I was always going to be in the conspicuous minority in a world where nudie magazines on the camera truck are still sometimes a fact of life. But as much as there were men who stood in my way, it was also the confidence and guidance of one DP, an older guy who was i

Here was the line at 10AM on 1/17. By noon the Figment popcorn bucket had become scarce. Castmembers were telling guests that being in line no longer guaranteed you a bucket.

Jeffrey Combs has been a horror icon for as long as I've been alive. In 1986 I got to see 'Re-Animator' in the backroom of a VHS rental shop, and the following year I dressed up as Herbert West for Halloween. To say that I was excited to speak with Mr. Combs about his newest project is a vast understatement. Combs has appeared in nearly every aspect of geek culture from some of the best horror films of the '80s to nearly every recent 'Star Trek' series. He is as engrained in the sci-fi and horror genres as the tropes that made them dear to our hearts.
Today Jeff Combs and I spoke about a winter-themed horror film called 'Holiday Hell'. Written and directed by Jeff Ferrell and Jeff Vigil, this festive flick is, in fact, an anthology tale. Combs portrays a shopkeeper who's various curiosities each contains a story. Those stories unravel as individual parts of the anthology. We won't spoil anything, but Jeff did tell us that not everything is as it seems in the store.
'Holiday Hell' will be available via on-demand and DVD November 11th, but you can stream it as early as October 15th exclusively on Tubi! The film will also have three screenings in LA, Portland, and Seattle over the next month. If you happen to be near Tarrytown, NY next week, be sure to check out Combs one-man stage show as Edgar Allan Poe at Sleepy Hollow International Film Festival.

Remember Matty Collector? Ah, those were the days when it was exciting to be a toy collector. Mattel was hitting home run after home run with DC Classics, Ghostbusters, and Masters of the Universe figures. The renowned toy company even produced excellent replicas like the Ghost Trap, Neutrona Wand, PKE Meter, and Marty McFly's Hoverboard.
Scott 'Toy Guru' Neitlich of Spector Creative is the man we have to thank for quite a lot of Mattel's collectibles from the late 2000s and early 2010s. Scott was a brand manager for Mattel, and in his own personal time, he helped He-Man establish a foothold in the collectors market after having been dormant for many years.
We spoke with the Toy Guru about his experiences in the toy industry and where it could be headed in the future. Check out our interview here:

Scott has many videos dedicated to not only the Masters of the Universe and DC Classics lines, but he also covers Mattel's Ghostbusters figures and toy trends. Wonder why so many pegs are empty at your local retailer? Mr. Neitlich has an answer. There are hours and hours of information to be found at the Spector Creative YouTube Channel.
