BAD VEGAN: FAME. FRAUD. FUGITIVES. (NETFLIX)
Premieres Wednesday, March 16

DESCRIPTION:
After marrying a mysterious man who claimed he could make her dog immortal, a celebrated vegan restaurateur finds her life veering off the rails.

Just when I thought I was out on Netflix…

Their undoing? A charge made under [the man's] real name for a Domino's pizza.


The unscripted series will follow Barker's new business venture with "diamond dentist" Dr. Tom Connelly, featuring celebrities and musicians undergoing high-end diamond dental implants while simultaneously receiving full-body tattoos, all while under anesthesia.

This a limited series? How many celebrities and musicians who want both diamond dental implants and full-body tattoos exist?

The series was developed by Lima. His other development credits include TLC's Little Spouse on the Prairie and Discovery's Man vs. Bear.

I Get Knocked Down

20 years after his fall from grace, the former front-man of Chumbawamba is angry and frustrated. How does a middle-aged, retired radical who feels invisible get back up again?

In this punk version of A Christmas Carol, Dunstan is forced to question what he has done with his life and is sent on a search into his past for his long-lost anarchist mojo.

59 is middle-aged?

Lover, Beloved

Suzanne Vega re-interprets two talks Carson McCullers gave at the 92nd St. Y in NYC.

During the first, in 1941, she drinks her way through the lecture, revealing messy romances and illnesses. In the second, 25 years later, she confronts her mortality.

McCullers: Remember me for centuries.

netflix feature film special: adam by eve: a live in animation

[googles "adam by eve a live in animation"]

Music by Eve is woven together with animated scenes and live-action drama to produce a dreamlike sonic experience inspired by the story of Adam and Eve.

Ruff Ryder Eve?!

No, Jujutsu Kaisen Eve.

Serpent: Don't fight that good shit in your ear. Now let me blow ya mind.

The sins of my father?

Even Bruce Willis' film titles have given up.


Ed Pressman's five decades of producing credits include Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant and the reimagining of the same title in another version directed by Werner Herzog.

Now, the Pressmans are developing four new international versions of Bad Lieutenant with filmmakers they expected to announce this year at Cannes.

"We're telling each filmmaker to make it his own," Ed said, adding that a streamer was in talks to finance all versions. [source]

Another feather in your map

Salt Bae is an unserious restaurateur.

The Golden Kafes, an entire rack of lamb covered in edible gold, will run you $1250, while the Golden Burger and Golden Baklava, also coated in edible gold for no apparent reason, are priced more reasonably at $180 and $100. [source]

[pause]

Donald Trump dousing a well-done, $650 steak in ketchup.


Idea: A steakhouse that brands meat you order with NFTs you own.

Who will the film or limited series about the rise and fall NFTs/crypto be built around?

Hornblower: Ryan from The O.C.

Reflect upon your woke sky

Previously on Adam Riff™:

The new show is titled 1932 and "will follow a new generation of Duttons during the time of Western expansion, Prohibition and the Great Depression."


Walker: Independence, a prequel to the CW series Walker, is set in the late 1800s and follows Abby Walker, an affluent Bostonian whose husband is murdered before her eyes while on their journey out West.

They're 1883-ing [the reboot of] Walker, Texas Ranger?!

The Walker Texas Universe: Walkers fighting crime in Dallas, Austin, Independence…

Idea: A cross-over event in which present-day boy Walker Frequencys 1883 girl Walker. Ham radios didn't exist yet, but telephones did. Maybe they fall in love?

Idea: [Yellowstone:] 1997 starring Chuck Norris.

The torture of unwrit youth

Why does "inspired by Taiwan" make me chuckle?

Can you be "inspired by a classic flavor combination found in Parisian patisseries" when it's just said flavor combination?

How is Icebox Cake inspired by Black History Month? Because Nyesha Arrington is half-black and ate it as a child?

[googles "ice cream flavors inspired by black history month"]

The Distinguished Gentleman consists of fresh strawberry ice cream, chocolate creme de menthe pieces and a fresh strawberry swirl. It's named after Augustus Jackson.

"He actually invented strawberry ice cream and mint ice cream." [source]

A black man invented strawberry and mint ice creams – the more you know.

Content Warning: Discussions of Slavery, Racism, Suicide, Alcoholism

Mm.

Some people erroneously credit Thomas Jefferson with popularizing vanilla ice cream in the USA. Thomas Jefferson was not a chef, and he did not have a recipe for vanilla ice cream. He enslaved a Black man who did. James Hemings was the person making vanilla ice cream in the kitchen at Monticello.

A black man introduced vanilla ice cream to America.

February Seasonals: Vanilla (inspired by Black History Month).

James Hemings' impact on American food is still felt today. Mac and cheese and french fries can also be traced back to his legacy.

Dipping fries in vanilla ice cream – black history?

Poppy Corby-Tuech is Vinda



Trying to save failing bars and restaurants as entertainment wasn't enough, so we made it a competition. Who will try to save their restaurant better: the liar or the exploiter?

How do you fairly determine the winner of two separate restaurant rescues? Not sure how it would work, but shouldn't they compete to rescue the same restaurant?

Provided that some are still open, Jon Taffer tries to save restaurants that Robert Irvine couldn't, and vice versa.



Trippy.

If they wanted to attract Instagrammers, they could have just painted angel wings on a wall, maybe install a clawfoot tub.


Oh, ha!
