If you’re going to have an Amp House Massacre, first you need to have an Amp House. Mario Stillwell, the biggest YouTube influencer in the world, provides that. Having made millions with his videos, he buys a mansion for himself and Janelle and dubs it Amp House.

Now they, along their entourage of famous for being famous internet celebrities including, Hunter, Tiffany, and Lonnie have a place they can use for filming all their obnoxious videos, of which we see as seemly never ending montage of leading up to a lavish first anniversary party. A party that ends with Mario floating face down in the pool, dead from an overdose. And then another montage of tribute videos following it. This may be the...

Exclusive: Erik Osterholm, longtime Bourdain producer/director and Down To Earth co-creator Michael Simkin launch Ultra Boom Media. The two producers are joining forces to create Ultra Boom Media alongside Oscar/Emmy nominated filmmaker Omar Mullick and veteran media and creative exec Carrie Kaylor.

Osterholm previously served as director/producer on both iconic unscripted series, Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown and Vice’s Emmy-winning HBO series. As a former SVP of development at Zero Point Zero, Erik developed and produced a number of series, including The Business of Drugs, Emmy Nominated Connected with Latif Nasser for Netflix, and the CNN original series Nomad with Carlton McCoy.

As the Co-creator and showrunner of Netflix’s Emmy award-winning documentary series Down to Earth with Zac Efron, Simkin also steered Zac Efron’s production company, Ninja’s Runnin Wild, producing scripted films like Extremely, Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile, That Awkward Moment and Dirty Grandpa with Robert DeNiro.

Though his days as the boss of True Detective are behind him, Nic Pizzolatto has other things to focus on. Prime among them is his directorial debut, Easy's Waltz, which has snagged Al Pacino, Vince Vaughn, Michelle Monaghan and Simon Rexto star.

Pizzolatto also wrote the script for the new drama, which Deadline has heard is a mix of Swingers and A Star Is Born, as the film follows a down-on-his-luck comedian-crooner navigating modern Las Vegas with old-school Vegas personalities.

Vaughn (who appeared in Season 2 of Detective) is back working with Monaghan again after they both just worked on Ted Lasso boss Bill Lawrence's new Apple TV+ series Bad Monkey. Pacino last shot Knox Go Away, directed by Michael Keaton, and Rex most recently worked on My Dead Dad and Mack & Rita.

Easy's Waltz doesn't have a release date on the books yet.

This June on HBO and HBO Max will play host to a new season of “Westworld,” a new adaptation of “Father of the Bride” and much more.

The big new Warner Bros. release on HBO and HBO Max this month is “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore,” which actually debuted on the HBO Max streaming service on May 30. The third film in the Wizarding World prequel franchise first hit theaters in April, and is now available to stream in 4K.

With its list of new releases for June 2022, HBO Max is joining in what should be a TV summer to remember.

Not content to let Netflix’s Stranger Things or Prime Video’s The Boys to dominate the summer TV landscape, HBO is coming through with a new season of one of its big hits. Westworld season 4 is set to premiere June 26 on both HBO and HBO Max. What will this season of the increasingly confusing sci-fi drama be about? Per HBO’s synopsis it will be “A dark odyssey about the fate of sentient life on earth.” So you know, only that.

Irma Vep is the only other Max Original of note this month. Based on a 1996 cult classic of the same name, this limited series stars Alicia Vikander as a disillusioned movie star looking to remake the early 20th century French silent film serial Les Vampires.

Norm Macdonald: Nothing Special (Netflix)

The world lost a good one when Norm Macdonald died, but he was still fighting to the bitter end and thought to record a one-take video of his latest comedy before he...

"I feel like everybody knew him except me." HBO has unveiled an official trailer for an indie film titled My Dead Dad, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Fabio Frey. It's co-written and produced by Pedro Correa, who also stars in it as the main character. It premiered at the 2021 Woodstock Film Festival last year, and screened at numerous other fests including Austin, Mill Valley, and Filmocracy Fest where it won the Audience Award. A burnout discovers his estranged father has died, leaving him the responsibility of managing an apartment complex. With hopes of cutting ties, he's forced to grow up, learning about the dad he never knew through the eclectic tenants. Starring Pedro Correa with Raymond Cruz, Courtney Dietz, Simon Rex, Booboo Stewart, Steven Bauer, Chris Pontius, Nicholas Duvernay, and Nate Jackson. This would probably be a bit better if it had more humor in it, as this trailer seems so depressing.

Exclusive: Fabio Frey’s feature directorial debut My Dead Dad has been acquired by OneFifty for HBO Max where it will premiere on June 1st.

The film stars Pedro Correa—who wrote the project alongside Frey— as young burnout Lucas who, after hearing his estranged father has passed away, undertakes the responsibility of managing an inherited apartment complex in Los Angeles. Determined to sell off the complex without a second thought, Lucas meets the eclectic tenants and soon discovers his father was a different man than the one he knew.

The film also stars Simon Rex, Chris Pontius, Booboo Stewart, Courtney Dietz, Raymond Cruz, and Steven Bauer.

“HBO Max has been a dream platform for us since we first started writing this deeply personal story. To see it come to fruition and be available to U.S. audiences is everything we could have asked for. We are grateful to the...

The festival will take place September 29 to October 3 in three Hudson Valley communities about two hours north of New York City.

The festival will kick off with Fanny: The Right to Rock, a documentary about a pathbreaking Filipina-American garage band, with a performance by some of the band’s members following the screening. Music is an annual touchstone for Woodstock’s lineup,...
