Why We Loved Foghat’s Night Shift Album

In 1976‚ Foghat was riding high on the popularity of their massive hit single “Slow Ride.” The band’s Fool For The City album helped the band capture a whole new audience of young rock and roll fans. Released in 1975‚ Foghat’s Fool For The City became the band’s first album to go Platinum in sales. So‚ how does a band follow up their most successful album to date? The answer is simple: release an even better album to follow up their biggest seller. That’s precisely what Foghat did with the release of Night Shift in 1976. I was 16 when The post Why We Loved Foghat’s Night Shift Album appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Everyone Has Questions in the Teaser for Interview with the Vampire’s Second Season

News Interview with the Vampire Everyone Has Questions in the Teaser for Interview with the Vampire’s Second Season The vamps go to Europe in season two of AMC’s Anne Rice adaptation. By Molly Templeton | Published on February 7‚ 2024 icon-comment 0 Share New Share Twitter Facebook Pinterest RSS Feed Pause Play The first teaser for the next season of Interview with the Vampire‚ AMC’s adaptation of Anne Rice’s beloved novel‚ is very brief‚ but packs a lot in—especially for those who might have thought they’d seen the end of a certain blond vamp at the end of the first season. No‚ no: Lestat (Sam Reid) has so much more to get up to! But first‚ Claudia (now played by Delainey Hayles) has a question for Louis (Jacob Anderson): Who would he be‚ without all this? The teaser offers no answer‚ just a series of scenes that remind us who the main characters are to each other‚ and how much drama unfolds around them. And then‚ at the end‚ interviewer Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) asks one more question: “What happened next?” Seems quite relevant that when the camera cuts to Louis‚ Armand (Assad Zaman) is sitting right beside him. Here’s AMC’s summary of season two: In the year 2022‚ the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) recounts his life story to journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian). Picking up from the bloody events in New Orleans in 1940 when Louis and teen fledgling Claudia (Delainey Hayles) conspired to kill the Vampire Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid)‚ Louis tells of his adventures in Europe‚ a quest to discover Old World Vampires and the Theatre Des Vampires in Paris‚ with Claudia. It is in Paris that Louis first meets the vampire Armand (Assad Zaman). Their courtship and love affair will prove to have devastating consequences both in the past and in the future‚ and Molloy will probe to get to the truths buried within the memories. This is not very revealing‚ unsurprisingly. Season two includes a whole bunch of guest stars‚ including David Costabile (Suits‚ Breaking Bad) as Leonard‚ Roxane Duran (The White Ribbon‚ Riviera) as Madeleine‚ and Bally Gill (Sherwood‚ Slow Horses) as Real Rashid. The second season of Interview with the Vampire premieres May 12th.

Don’t Touch That Dial: Can’t-Miss TV For Your Watchlist

Column Don’t Touch That Dial Don’t Touch That Dial: Can’t-Miss TV For Your Watchlist The Brothers Sun‚ Monarch: Legacy of Monsters‚ and the new Mr. and Mrs. Smith are among this season’s best new series. By Alex Brown | Published on February 7‚ 2024 icon-comment 0 Share New Share Twitter Facebook Pinterest RSS Feed Several years ago‚ I used to run a column here called Don’t Touch That Dial‚ where I’d talk about new or returning shows. Mostly it ran over the fall and spring premiere seasons and covered speculative broadcast and cable TV shows. And then came the tidal wave of streaming shows. I tapped out of the column in 2016‚ mostly because I couldn’t keep up with all the new shows. That year alone‚ more than 450 scripted shows aired in the US. Trying to cover even just the speculative ones became an impossible task.  It’s now 2024 and peak streaming has crashed. With the rapid cancellations and killing off shows before they get the chance to premiere‚ I decided to (temporarily) resurrect my old column. There are plenty of speculative and adjacent gems out there but finding out about them before they end up on the chopping block is another matter. To help you out‚ I’ve pulled together one returning and six new shows that premiered either at the end of last year or the beginning of this one. Clear your schedule. The Brothers Sun After his father is gravely injured in a violent attack‚ Charles Sun leaves Taipei for Los Angeles to protect his mother‚ Eileen‚ and little brother‚ Bruce. Years ago she fled with her youngest son‚ a goofy‚ placid child‚ to the San Gabriel Valley for reasons unknown‚ but never let her espionage and subterfuge skills go to waste. Did the killers follow Charles to the states or did he walk right into their trap? All Bruce knows is that his brother and father’s crime business is getting in the way of his faltering attempts at medical school and his improv classes. Bruce likes being soft‚ Charles likes being tough‚ and they both learn a lesson about being a little more like the other. The Brothers Sun is a great mix of tight fight choreography and crackling dark humor. The show is all over the place in terms of tone but somehow it all blends together. However‚ the action and black comedy elements are way more developed than the mystery portion. Most of the time the mystery of who is at the top of the masked assassin gang feels like an afterthought. It’s fun‚ frothy entertainment. Don’t look too closely or the plot holes will seem like black holes. We’re aiming for broadcast TV with slightly more violence rather than plausibility and realism. Justin Chien and Sam Song Li bounce well off each other as the titular brothers‚ Jon Xue Zhang is my new favorite actor‚ and Michelle Yeoh is a goddess divine. If I had one wish‚ it would be no more fat jokes. There are several every episode and each time I hear one‚ my soul dies a little. TL;DR: Michelle. Yeoh. Enough said. Where to watch: Netflix; series premiere Thursday January 4‚ 2024—8 episode season‚ full season release. Criminal Record Yeah‚ I know‚ copaganda is bad. But also‚ look‚ few types of media make me feel more cozy than a good old fashioned cop show. Procedurals are‚ for whatever reason‚ soothing‚ especially when it’s a loner loose cannon versus a wave of bad apples. Our hero is DS June Lenker‚ a London cop who stumbles into what seems like a corruption case a decade in the making that landed a possibly innocent man in jail for murder. She’s up against DCI Daniel Hegarty‚ a veteran officer several rungs up the ladder. Each time she digs deeper to get to the truth‚ he hurls another obstacle in her way‚ from red herrings to actively discrediting her as a professional. The twist is expected but does the job. I appreciated the nuance brought to the topic of race‚ specifically of being a biracial Black and white person living and working in predominantly white spaces. June benefits from her proximity to whiteness while also experiencing anti-Blackness and racism‚ and Cush Jumbo walks that tightrope brilliantly. And as much as I liked him as the Twelfth Doctor‚ it’s nice to see Peter Capaldi being a dick again. He plays charming assholes so well.  TL;DR: Procedural girlies‚ Doctor Who stans‚ and people who love watching other people do paperwork‚ this is the show for you.  Where to watch: AppleTV+; series premiere Wednesday January 10‚ 2024—8 episode season‚ weekly release. Death and Other Details When her mother is murdered‚ Imogene is taken in by ultra-rich family friends. They hire “the world’s greatest detective‚” Rufus Cotesworth‚ but even he fails to solve the case. Years later‚ Imogene and Rufus reunite over yet another murder. Her new family has rented out a gloriously extravagant cruise ship owned by banker-turned-boatmaker Sunil to win over potential investors in their failing company. A loudmouth is murdered‚ and Imogene is the prime suspect. She and Rufus must uncover the real killer—and figure out the connection to her mother’s murder—before Interpol arrests her.   I adore any media about a crotchety old loner genius and their charming companion who everyone underestimates‚ so looking past this show’s myriad flaws is pretty easy for me. The CGI is rough at best‚ but the set design and costuming are soap opera lavish. Each episode is its own little mystery that feeds into the bigger one‚ a gimmick that succeeds as often as it fails. Keeping track of the ever-expanding cast gets complicated the further into the season you get‚ and the pacing of the episodes could use some work. It tries too hard to have Something To Say‚ and what it’s saying so far is neither new nor all that interesting.  Regardless‚ this marks a nice dip back into the blue sky dramas era of television. Vibes-wise‚ it should scratch your Knives Out itch. Mandy Patinkin is as great as always‚ Violett Beane is intriguing‚ and somehow Rahul Kohli gets hotter every time I see him. The costume designer who decided to put him in a cable knit sweater deserves a Nobel Prize. Good lord.  TL;DR: I cannot tell you how vital it is you hear Mandy Patinkin doing the world’s most ridiculous accent. It comes and goes like the tide. I want whoever develops the next virtual assistant to have it be him doing the Rufus voice. Absolutely incredible. A pure delight. Where to watch: Hulu; series premiere Tuesday January 16‚ 2024—10 episode season‚ weekly release. Echo After Maya’s father is murdered by Kingpin and she‚ in turn‚ shoots Kingpin in the face (uh‚ spoilers for Hawkeye‚ I guess)‚ Maya returns to her hometown of Tamaha‚ Oklahoma. She has one goal: take Fisk’s crime empire for herself. Along the way‚ she learns a lesson about listening to your ancestors and protecting your community. Also‚ super powers. She has them‚ she uses them‚ they’re pretty cool. In terms of tone and violence‚ this is closer to the more mature outings Netflix offered than the family-friendly ones from Disney+. Echo gets that diversity is more than just dropping people with marginalized identities into a scene but actually thinking about how those identities impact the story and how the characters move through it. Having so much of the show revolve around Maya’s identities as being Deaf‚ Choctaw‚ and an amputee was what turned this from a middling superhero show into something wholly compelling. Alaqua Cox shines as Maya‚ and I’m excited to see her eventually step outside the limitations of a Marvel joint and stretch her acting skills.  Structurally‚ what hampers this show is what hampers most streamers: its short runtime. Five episodes totalling under four hours is both too much and not enough. The whole first episode is mostly catching up viewers who didn’t watch Hawkeye or forgot that Clint spent the five years post-Snap murdering BIPOC instead of going to fucking therapy. Echo needed either a longer season where the side characters could have something substantial to do or it needed to be a much shorter made-for-tv movie.  TL;DR: Is it Marvel’s best television show? Eh. But it’s about as unique and creative as you can get under the MCU’s strict guidelines. A solid start for the new Spotlight line of shows. Where to watch: Disney+; series premiere Tuesday January 9‚ 2024—5 episode season‚ full season release. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters This show jumps between the mid 20th century and shortly after G-Day‚ when San Francisco was destroyed by Godzilla in 2014. One of the survivors of G-Day is Cate‚ the daughter of Hiro Randa‚ a secretive member of Monarch. After his apparent death‚ she returns to Japan to clear out his apartment‚ only to learn he had a secret second family. She‚ her half-brother‚ Kentaro‚ and his ex-girlfriend May‚ track down Lee‚ an American soldier who was like an uncle to Hiro. The more about Monarch they uncover‚ the more Monarch tries to silence them. Meanwhile in the flashbacks‚ we meet Hiro’s mother‚ stepfather‚ and a younger version of Lee as they encounter MUTOs (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism). I’m gonna watch anything in the Godzilla universe‚ and I’m gonna love it. Much like the recent Godzilla Minus One movie (which is incredible‚ by the way‚ and easily the best Godzilla movie I’ve ever seen)‚ monsters take a backseat to human drama. Godzilla and his ilk drive the action‚ but the show is more concerned with the people who sacrificed everything for science and discovery only to be punished for their hubris and the loved ones left behind to pick up the pieces. I preferred the 1950s flashbacks to the present‚ mostly because those characters were more interesting and complicated than their contemporary counterparts. Kurt Russell and his son Wyatt play the same character at different stages in his life‚ an clever bit of casting. The Russell men are that particular breed of charming we used to see in action romance movies of yore‚ all-American tough guys who win over the reluctant woman with a wink‚ a lopsided smile‚ and a loaded gun. Where things stalled out for me was how routine everything was. Instead of doing something new with the MonsterVerse or leaning into the television format‚ it runs through a checklist of stale tropes‚ shots‚ and scenarios. I didn’t entirely mind‚ mostly because I just plain enjoy being in this world‚ but it’s also frustrating to see the writers consistently choose the easiest option when it comes to the plot. TL;DR: The show has monsters‚ mayhem‚ and folks fucking around and finding out. What more could you want from a monster movie prequel-slash-sequel? Where to watch: AppleTV+; series premiere Friday November 17‚ 2023—10 episode season‚ weekly release. Mr. and Mrs. Smith John and Jane Smith are two outcasts who stumble into jobs as spies. As part of their cover‚ they’re paired up as husband and wife‚ complete with an ostentatious brownstone and real marriage certificate. The couple quickly fall for each other‚ but the stress of the job wears on their relationship until they’re literally at each other’s throats. The connection back to the original movie is so light‚ I genuinely don’t understand what the point of buying the IP was in the first place. It’s not like millions of people were clamoring for a remake of a nearly decade-old movie‚ especially one known more for the surrounding relationship chaos involving its leads than the actual plot.  The TV version of Mr. &; Mrs. Smith is basically just Atlanta with some action and romance rather than a true action romcom. Meaning a show about people talking to each other in interesting locales. Two people in a destructive marriage emotionally (and physically) hurt each other‚ plus the occasional burst of gunfire‚ fight scenes‚ and kissing. Once I readjusted my expectations‚ I enjoyed myself more. On the other hand‚ I have already forgotten most of what happened. Each episode is more or less in the same format: lots of talking about whatever issue is bothering John and Jane that day‚ then a chunk of intense action‚ followed by a denouement of gallows humor or suspenseful cliffhanger. The show’s greatest crime is that Donald Glover and Maya Erskine‚ while fine actors‚ have absolutely no chemistry with each other. The second worst crime is skipping past the romance. The show jumps from the meet-cute to sex to declarations of love without building the relationship in front of the audience. I keep saying this‚ but streamers really need to start making longer seasons so the audience can get to know the characters and their world. TL;DR: Come for the premise‚ stay for the great stunt guest actor casting.  Where to watch: Prime; series premiere Friday February 2‚ 2024—8 episode season‚ full season release. True Detective: Night Country Ennis‚ Alaska‚ is a town that exists largely to provide workers for a massive mining company. A group of reclusive scientists at a research facility turn up dead‚ their bodies frozen in terror on the ice. Solving the case falls to lead detective Liz Danvers‚ a drunken misanthrope‚ and her ragtag department. When the scientists are tied to a cold case of a murdered Iñupiaq activist‚ agent Evangeline Navarro‚ Danvers’ former colleague‚ joins the team. Mystical‚ surreal events unfold around the women‚ compounded by traumas old and new.  I’m meh on the first three seasons of True Detective. Seasons two and three felt like attempts to make up for some of the worst choices in the first‚ but I mostly kept watching because I liked the actors and the seasons were short. The fourth is the first without creator Nic Pizzolatto involved; Issa López takes the reins as showrunner‚ director‚ and writer. Not coincidentally‚ this is also the first season I’m excited to watch. This season is weirder in terms of pacing‚ tone‚ and content. Don’t come in expecting a procedural formula. López is more interested in pushing her characters to the breaking point and seeing what happens next. It’s meditative and melancholy‚ an entire town full of miserable people barely hanging on because there’s nothing else left. As nice as it is to have Jodie Foster and John Hawkes back on my television screen‚ Kali Reis is the real star here. As Navarro‚ she’s propulsive and riveting. She deserves a long and busy acting career. What worries me is the potential for a bait-and-switch in terms of the speculative stuff. Right now‚ it feels like the characters are in a rural fantasy story‚ but don’t know it yet. However‚ the script keeps dropping hints that whatever is behind the mystery will be something mundane. If it turns out that the whole town is affected by a gas leak or something‚ I’ll be pissed.  TL;DR: More! Indigenous! Stories! Also‚ this season reminds me a lot of Ramona Emerson’s supernatural thriller Shutter‚ which I cannot recommend highly enough. Where to watch: Max; series premiere Sunday January 14‚ 2024—6 episode season‚ weekly release. [end-mark] The post Don’t Touch That Dial: Can’t-Miss TV For Your Watchlist appeared first on Reactor.

Now Daredevil: Born Again Is Worth Watching: Karen and Foggy Are Definitely Returning

News Daredevil Now Daredevil: Born Again Is Worth Watching: Karen and Foggy Are Definitely Returning Set photos show Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Hensen filming the Daredevil sequel series. By Molly Templeton | Published on February 7‚ 2024 icon-comment 0 Share New Share Twitter Facebook Pinterest RSS Feed We asked‚ we begged‚ we complained‚ and now we like to think we’ve been heard. After years of uncertainty‚ we finally have confirmation that two key characters will still be in Matt Murdock’s life when Daredevil: Born Again arrives. Variety reports that both Deborah Ann Woll (as Karen Page) and Elden Henson (as Franklin “Foggy” Nelson) have been spotted on set for the upcoming Disney+ series. All the way back in 2022‚ Cox himself was hopeful that the two would return‚ but Marvel just kept not saying anything‚ no matter how many times Woll and Henson were asked if they would be on the show. But it would make very little sense to bring back not just Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) but also the more recently announced Bullseye (Wilson Bethel) and leave Karen and Foggy behind. In Netflix’s Daredevil (pictured above)‚ Foggy was Matt’s best friend and the co-founder of their law firm‚ Nelson and Murdock. He was for a long time unaware of Matt’s other job‚ and the eventual revelation put a strain on their friendship for some time. Karen was key to an investigation in the first season; when it cost her her job (and almost her life)‚ she started working as Nelson and Murdock’s office manager. (Eventually she also became a totally untrained journalist. Don’t ask too many questions.) The relationships among the three characters are the heart of Daredevil as we knew it‚ and it’s such good news that the new series will bring that dynamic back into play. Daredevil: Born Again initially had an 18-episode order‚ but following all of the turnover in the creative team‚ it’s unclear if that is still the case. But eventually‚ some number of episodes will arrive on Disney+.

Seven SFF Stories About Artists and the Creative Struggle

Book Recommendations short fiction Seven SFF Stories About Artists and the Creative Struggle Making great art is never without challenges… By Ratika Deshpande | Published on February 7‚ 2024 Photo by Anna Kolosyuk [via Unsplash] icon-comment 0 Share New Share Twitter Facebook Pinterest RSS Feed Photo by Anna Kolosyuk [via Unsplash] The creative struggle is familiar to anyone who’s ever tried to make anything‚ no matter how small or seemingly ephemeral. Artists‚ cooks‚ bakers‚ writers‚ painters‚ musicians‚ dancers‚ designers—we must all contend with perfectionism and insecurity‚ the desire to make what speaks to us and the need to have our work appreciated by others. It’s a constant battle‚ one that doesn’t necessarily get easier simply with greater skill or experience. Artists share these struggles across time with those in the past as well as the future‚ and this is what makes stories about the challenges inherent in creating art so enduring and relevant. Here’s a selection of some of my favorite examples… “A Conspiracy of Cartographers” by Barbara A. Barnett The composer Guillaume is stuck. His most recent opera was a failure and the reviews were far from kind. But he isn’t entirely hopeless. He has a map he’d bought from the Mist Market‚ a map that promises to solve his problems. He’s convinced it will show him the way‚ literally and otherwise‚ to inspiration‚ and to that one masterpiece he knows he’s capable of composing. But the map’s answer doesn’t come without a cost‚ and the nature of creativity isn’t so simple… “Colors of the Immortal Palette” by Caroline M. Yoachim Mari longs to be part of the art scene in Paris—not by being in pictures but by painting them herself. But she’s a woman from Japan‚ which her peers don’t fail to notice. And Mari’s desires aren’t limited to being accepted and equal with her Western‚ male peers. What she wants is more time than a mortal lifetime holds—time enough to create art that will truly reflect her talents. Yoachim has written an exquisite novelette that explores the struggles of perfectionism and the longing for recognition. I found in it much food for thought about my own ideas around wanting my work to last and the desire to make it distinct‚ creating something that has my own unique touch without the work always being centred around my identity. “Perhaps in Understanding” by AnaMaria Curtis Another tale of a struggling painter‚ this short story by Curtis (who has become one of my favorite short story writers) explores the conflict between living the paths society carves out for artists—to either die broke and alone‚ or bow to the whims of a patron—and choosing one’s own way. What is truly important—freedom‚ recognition‚ validation‚ money‚ or being understood? Curtis explores all these themes beautifully and hopefully‚ in less than 5‚000 words—with a happy ending as a perfect cherry on top.   “The Guardian’s Head” by Tamara Vardomskaya Lumarine and her Master Merlinnet have been tasked by the queen to sculpt a giant statue of the Guardian of Nevarim to protect the city against the upcoming floods. The master and the apprentice cannot dally‚ for this year the waters are rising faster than usual. But completing the statue isn’t merely a matter of speed and skill. You also need the correct intent‚ because if the sculptors’ creation is faulty‚ the Guardian won’t be able to repel the flood. Great artists are known for giving each project the time it demands—but how do you focus and work and create when the lives of an entire city’s people are at stake? “Porgee’s Boar” by Jonathan Carroll Somehow‚ the painter Ruth Russell has found herself an admirer in Andrey Porgee. The gangster’s love of her work has brought her many customers from the underworld. None of them pay the asking price‚ and Ruth knows she’s in too dangerous a position to ask for more. Now Porgee wants her to paint a moment from his childhood‚ based on a photograph he provides. He must hold the memory precious to have it turned into a work of art‚ but what if he doesn’t like Ruth’s vision? A deeply human story about what art means to the artist and to the audience‚ and about the things written and read between the lines—or brushstrokes. “Great‚ Golden Wings” by Rachel Swirsky This is a sweet little story about a cinematographer who’s hoping to find a new patron—now that the older ones have abandoned him—in the king. But it is difficult to find an audience for blurry films of dragons when real magicians can conjure illusions on demand and in greater detail than any camera can. How long can an artist work with hope‚ with no patrons to support him‚ and no one who understands what it means to be able to truly capture the flight of a dragon? “The Passing of the Dragon” by Ken Liu We meet Kay trudging through snow towards the former house of her favorite poet‚ hoping the place will help her find a way out of her creative block and her struggle for recognition as an artist‚ when she sees a dragon. The glimpse only lasts a moment…and despite knowing that dragons are the stuff of fantasy‚ Kay is convinced that she really saw the beast. Its flight provides her with a new energy and she can’t stop trying to paint it. Kay is convinced that this work is her best‚ but does the world care? Putting your art out in the world is a terrifying prospect‚ and dealing with consequences isn’t easy when you are so deeply connected to a piece of art. This story felt like it stepped inside and changed something in me. I felt both relief and extreme recognition‚ and—despite the weight of Kay’s struggle—also an irrepressible hope. Some stories shake you so hard that their effects stay with you for days afterwards. This is one of them—a must-read.

The Trailer for A Quiet Place: Day One Is Here to Explain the Premise of A Quiet Place Again

News a quiet place The Trailer for A Quiet Place: Day One Is Here to Explain the Premise of A Quiet Place Again Do not let aliens hurt cats‚ okay‚ movie? By Molly Templeton | Published on February 7‚ 2024 icon-comment 0 Share New Share Twitter Facebook Pinterest RSS Feed Pause Play There are prequels and then there are prequels and then there are prequels the unnecessariness of which is just astonishing. The 2018 movie A Quiet Place is a science fiction horror movie in which people have to live very very quietly because the world has been invaded by alien monsters that seem really into killing humans. Also they have incredibly good hearing. I have never seen this movie or its sequel‚ because I am a big baby‚ but all the same I understand the premise. But that’s not enough‚ I guess‚ because now we have A Quiet Place: Day One‚ which will explain what led to this situation. What happened is that big aliens arrived and killed people! Why must we spend a whole movie explaining this! Why must we be shown Lupita Nyong’o carrying a cat that she is then not carrying in the very next scene! Listen‚ some of us are very sensitive to bad things happening to cats. And this cat is apparently named Frodo. Please don’t hurt Frodo. A Quiet Place originally came from the mind of writer-director-star John Krasinski‚ who co-developed Day One’s story with the prequel’s writer-director‚ Michael Sarnoski (Pig). There is no summary with the film’s trailer other than‚ “Discover why our world went quiet‚” a question which the original movies answered sufficiently. Nyong’o stars as a woman named Sam‚ who is visiting New York City (with her cat?). When the world goes to hell‚ she reluctantly teams up with a dude named Eric (Stranger Things’ Joseph Quinn) and‚ as we see in the trailer‚ eventually connects also with Djimon Hounsou‚ who was in A Quiet Place Part II. Denis O’Hare (True Blood) and Alex Wolff (Hereditary) are also trapped in this alien hell. A Quiet Place: Day One is in theaters June 28th. If you need a refresher on the many problems with the previous films‚ Leah Schnelbach is here to help.
