The Blackening Media Rights Capital, The Story Company, Tracy Yvonne Productions, Artists First, Catchlight Studios Lionsgate My Rating   4/10 #whatonwhatsgood Fan Club Rating   64% Description The Blackening centers around a group of Black friends who reunite for a Juneteenth weekend getaway only to find themselves trapped in a remote cabin with a twisted killer.

TV Review: The Neighborhood

The Neighborhood Mud, Blood & Beer Productions/A Bird and a Bear Entertainment/Kapital Entertainment/Trill Television CBS Studios/CBS #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) "The Neighborhood on CBS is about a friendly Midwestern couple (Dave and Gemma Johnson) and their son Grover (Hank Greenspan) who move to a neighborhood in Los Angeles. Gemma (Beth Behrs) got a new job as a school principal in L.A. Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield) is just about the friendliest guy in the world.  I don't think anyone can dislike him.  Well one person can... They have a pretty opinionated next-door neighbor, the grouchy mechanic Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer).  He has a wife named Tina (Tichina Arnold) and two sons Marty (Marcel Spears) and Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney).   Dave is desperately trying to fit in with the community.  Will the Johnsons be accepted by everyone?   The series is quite amusing.  Tina as Calvin's wife is fun as she keeps...

Deadloch Amazon Studios, OK Great Productions, Guesswork Television Amazon Prime Video #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Deadloch is an Australian comedy/crime show. It is set in a town called Deadloch, Tasmania.  In the first episode, Trent Latham (Barry Wheeler) is found naked and dead on a beach.  The question is can Sergeant Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Det. Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) work together to solve the mystery?  It's a whodunnit. Enjoy! Description Deadloch is an eight-part crime comedy. When a local man turns up dead on a beach, two vastly different detectives are thrown together to solve the case. Deadloch puts a comedic spin on the crime genre, completely flipping it and challenging the tropes of the genre.

The series features a large ensemble cast led by Kate Box (Fires, Wentworth), Madeleine Sami (The Breaker Upperers), Nina Oyama ...

Interview with Singer-Songwriter Janel Rae Today on What On What's Good with Jovin Tardif , I am here with Janel Rae .  Janel is a Canadian singer-songwriter from Kelowna, BC. She has been performing and creating music since she was five. Her new single “Sometimes” is available now.  In our #cinqque5tion interview, we discuss making the video for “Sometimes”, her favorite song from your 2022 LP, 'Dinner With Stranger', acting in indie films, her first Poetry book, musical influences, and much more. 1. What was it like making the video for “Sometimes”? Since my latest album Dinner With Stranger, I’ve approached my music videos with the same thoughtfulness and time that I gave the songwriting process. Letting images enter my mind freely and without urgency, building colour palettes patiently, leaning into movies for textures, and trusting my audience more. It all seems to surface right before the sculpting begins. With Sometimes, there came unforeseen challenges that, as t...
