YouTubers trying their hand at music is a tale as old as time, and Matt Watson is no different as he just released his debut album on November 7th. Watson’s claim to fame is being one half of gaming duo SuperMega alongside Ryan Magee and getting knocked out in 22 seconds in a celebrity fight. But the difference between Matt Watson and most YouTubers who try to make music is Watson's experience.
I have a confession to make: I’ve never liked the Oscars. I like the concept of an award show that celebrates the best films every year, but I don’t like the Oscars. I don’t like the idea that one committee of a bunch of rich Hollywood executives can decide which films are the best films of the year and which aren’t. Especially when the academy is swayed by studios spending millions of dollars on gifts to try to get the academy members to vote for their movie. With that being said, I have never watched all the films nominated for best picture before the awards show. Maybe the academy is right in what they choose every year. So I'm going to take the next month and a half trying to watch every film nominated for Best Picture.
Johnny Manchild and The Poor Bastards are the greatest band you’ve never heard of. The band consists of a piano, trumpet, saxophone, guitar, bass, and drums create a sound that you can’t here anywhere else. They mix jazz, rock, punk, alternative, and more. The Oklahoma city band has up to ten members or “bastards” that can rotate in and out. They have produced 2 studio albums with a third that arrived today. They are even innovative in their approach to releasing music. They released a single a month in 2019 until ultimately compiling all the songs together on “One Big Beautiful Sound”. At the start of this year, the band had a crowdfunding effort for their new album which raised $36,000. At the forefront of it all is Johnny Manchild. Johnny is the guy who writes the lyrics and helps compose a lot of the music. The band started because Johnny decided he wanted a band and picked guys from his college to be in it. I got the pleasure of interviewing Johnny on the morning before the band’s new album, “We Did Not Ask For This Room” released. This is the result:
No Time To Die is the 27th film in the james bond franchise and Daniel Craig’s fifth and final time as James Bond. Craig’s tenure as Bond has been as one of the most successful runs of any actor to play James Bond in cinematic history by grossing over $3.2 billion in four films and having the highest grossing bond film in Skyfall. His fifteen year tenure as bond is the longest of any actor to play the role without the role being recast in between films. The film was delayed over a year because of the pandemic, so anticipation grew to an all time high.
