Video of the Day – ‘Right Here (Human Nature Remix)’
Hard to mess up my favorite song ever. But honestly, this remix works, because it works. On its own. Enjoy!

‘The Front Runner’
Like Jason Reitman, I’m old enough to remember hearing the names ‘Gary Hart’ and ‘Donna Rice’ on the news, but way too young to have any context for it at the time. ‘The Front Runner’ makes its case as one of those ‘pop culture turning points’ where our obsessions with the personal lives of […]
Cover of the Day – ‘Prototype’
The weekend is here, and I’ve been blown away. The Gram, THE GRAM! of all places put this cover on my radar. 3000 is one of my all time favorite lyricists, and I’ve always loved this song. As a singer though, I say with no arrogance we’re in the same league: ‘actor singers’. People […]
Video of the Day – ‘Gangsta Gangsta’
It’s been said but it’s worth repeating: there’s a lot of ways ‘Straight Outta Compton’ could have gone way wrong, but it’s still a supremely watchable movie. And I know I’m not the only one who was all in when this instant classic scene started. You have he’s now known as ‘Chad’ from Insecure […]
Video of the Day – ‘Ocean’s 11 Ending’
It occurred to me today that this will (probably) be the first year in at least a decade that I don’t hit up Vegas. Two things: At this point, I’ve done ‘Vegas Birthday’, ‘UFC Fight Weekend in Vegas,’ ‘Hangover in Vegas’, ‘New Year’s in Vegas’… there’s not really any all new variations I haven’t […]
Video of the Day – ‘What Don’t You Want?’
Taking you into this weekend with one of my favorite scene stealing performances in recent memory… I rewatched ‘No Country for Old Men’ last night and forgot Margaret Bowman played a motel clerk in that one. Not a hugely memorable role, but it made me go back and look up her one scene in […]
Coming Soon – ‘Best. Worst. Weekend. Ever’
One of my favorite Golden Age stories I took to heart comes from Karl Malden. When Brando was putting his directorial debut together, he called Malden to see if he would be interested, and Karl just said ‘Yep’, without knowing what the part was, let alone seeing the script. I’ve heard it repeated in […]
Video of the Day – ‘Imagine’
Happy Birthday John. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB0vN1qGKCU
Video of the Day – ‘Creed 2 Trailer’
I think this has been forwarded me to about 20 bazillion times in 2 hours, and I still can’t get enough of it. Can’t wait. Can’t wait… Have a good weekend!
Video of the Day – ‘You Make My Dreams’
First song this week is a Hall of Famer. A filmmaker friend is trying to recreate the sequence from ‘500 Days of Summer’ (what triggered the song in my mind). But I’m old enough to be connected to this song to this cheesy ass video. 3 minutes of perfection here, I smile wide every […]
