Is that a play on…?

Yes, yes, it is.

Thinking about how The Ringer's House of Carbs podcast changed its House of Cards-inspired artwork after Kevin Spacey was cancelled, and then was itself cancelled after frequent guest Adam Rapoport was cancelled.

Browsing the 2021 SXSW Film Festival line-up…

We Are The Thousand
A thousand musicians gathered together with one mission—to get the Foo Fighters to perform in their small town.

[pause]

Browsing upcoming album releases…

Ghost of Vroom 1
Ghost of Vroom [Mike Doughty and Andrew "Scrap" Livingston]

You have my curiosity.

DOUGHTY: The short version of the story is, I started writing Soul Coughing music again. I called up Soul Coughing and said, "Do you want to do this?" I got back a hot plate of crazy.

I was like, "Well, thanks, guys" Then I went and just made the album, and Mario Caldato is of that time period, like the Beasties, everything. Their whole universe was my everything, and working with him was incredible.

This is the Soul Coughing stuff that was never made. It's a very specific return to '94, '95 Soul Coughing. I'm getting deep, but the way the band sounded at the end of the Ruby Vroom tour, but before we went in with David Kahne to make "Super Bon Bon" and "Lazybones," all those songs. [source]

Now you have my attention.

Not Solo Coughing, but Soul of Soul Coughing.

Rory: Autotribute band.

I'm trying to think of another frontman who formed a spiritual successor to their own group with no other original members.

Random Idea:

MARRIAGE OR MORTGAGE (NETFLIX)
Premieres Wednesday, March 10

DESCRIPTION:
A wedding planner and a real estate agent compete to win the hearts and budgets of spouses-to-be. Will they pick fairy-tale nuptials or a dream home?

What kinda "lunch with Jay-Z"-ass premise is this? Dream wedding is the Price Is Right showcase with a bedroom set.

Dream wedding or dream honeymoon is equally uncompetitive… Sex or money is Netflix's Too Hot to Handle…

Reality Competition Idea: The Auction. Couples compete for money to spend in an auction at the end featuring a dream wedding, a dream home, et cetera.

Jim Henson's N Word Party

on

DC and Epic Games revealed the crossover, with the project debuting in print and digitally on April 20.

Heh.

The story sees Batman pulled into an unfamiliar world with no memory of where he came from. He must fight to recall his past, while coming face-to-face with Fortnite characters such as Renegade Raider, Fishstick, Bandolier and more.

"This series will reveal things about Fortnite that have never been seen or heard before." [source]

Injustice 3: Batman vs. Fortnite?

Random Idea:

An elections bill that restricts ballot drop boxes, requires ID for absentee voting and cuts back weekend early voting hours, among other changes, has passed the Georgia House and will advance to the Senate.

Video Game Idea: Dead by Daylight, but for voting in a red state.

Asymmetrical multiplayer – four people of colour vs. one Republican.

The people of colour win if they manage to vote before time runs out. The Republican wins if they he manages to prevent all the people of colour from voting.

My Parents Are Yoshi

on

The conspiracy-soaked thriller follows two girls who move into a New York apartment once owned by the convicted sex offender.

There's a scene about two-thirds in where a woman possessed by the spirit of an underage girl aggressively pleasures herself on a bed strewn with photos of Prince Andrew and assorted royal memorabilia.

At one point, to highlight her doubts over the suicide report, Nekrasova's character reenacts her own Epstein-style strangulation using a ripped sheet and a cupboard door. Even though a stunt coordinator was present, she admits she still "burst blood vessels around my eyes."

Women, amirite?

One of the biggest-budget prospects at the European Film Market (initially priced in the $100M range) is the Robbie Williams biopic Better Man from The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey.

We understand that pop star Williams will be portrayed by a CGI monkey in the film. [source]

"Nature" is tenth on the list of categories, probably where music videos would be on an MTV+.

Cooking Channel's Food Jammers isn't on Discovery+, but Science Channel's Race to Escape is, albeit missing episode five.

Episode five is available for purchase on Amazon, though, so it's not because a contestant murdered someone.

Discovery+ Show Idea: Extreme Gender Reveals.

Serious Discovery+ Show Idea: Siblings with large age ranges, like 26 to 74.

Paramount+ could've launched this Thursday with Coming 2 America, but Paramount sold it to Amazon instead, which will premiere it this Friday on Prime Video.

Paramount also sold exclusive streaming rights to Paramount Network's Yellowstone, cable television's highest-rated show, to Peacock.

And Nickelodeon is producing a live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender for Netflix.

Wyd, ViacomCBS?

Peacock or HBO Max could've had Ted Lasso, but NBCUniversal and WarnerMedia, which produce the show and own Peacock and HBO Max, respectively, foolishly sold it to Apple.

^ why Paramount+ can't reboot Wayne's World (Wayne and Garth are black streamers)

How bad must The Woman in the Window be for Disney to sell it to Netflix?

James Watt, the co-founder of Ellon, Scotland-based BrewDog, posted renderings and a video from a future site of a brewery and pub atop the Showcase Mall.

First revealed back in August, but showing few signs of progress atop the Las Vegas Strip's first Target retail outlet, new paperwork uncovers Olive Garden is back on track to bring its eighth local restaurant to Las Vegas Boulevard.

Ahh, Vegas, land of a Scottish brewery with a rooftop pool on top of a multi-million-dollar Olive Garden on top of a Target between a Walgreens and Burlington Coat Factory opposite an Eataly and NoMad luxury hotel.
