Netflix ‘The Get Down’ Part 2 Review!!
Dust Off Your Turntable, and Groove All Over Again With ‘The Get Down’ Part 2
by Nile Fortner
When I first heard about Netflix The Get Down, I was interested but a little worried. The Get Down is a Netflix original series. The series documents the rise of Hip-Hop and the downfall of disco music in a hardcore, 1970’s chaotic New York. The show was created by 2013 The Great Gatsby director Baz Luhrmann. I was a little worried because I am someone who loves hip-hop and rap music. I love the history of the music genre, and how it grew into the worldwide phenomenon that it is today. I was mainly worried because an Australian director creating and unfolding a story about old school hip-hop doesn’t really come to mind at first. On the other hand, the first season of this show was well done. The first few episodes started a little slow, but it transitioned itself into a very good series. The show is filled with 70s nostalgia, great music, and characters you can get behind. Now we get part two, and part two of this series brings us more story, more music, more drama, and makes the audience want to view more.
Cinephellas Podcast-Episode 4 (Salt and Fire Screening)
A Fluffy Night Out:
The West Hollywood Screening of Salt and Fire
At the end of my interview with Veronica Ferres a few weeks ago, she invited me to the London West Hollywood hotel off of West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip for a screening of Salt and Fire. Instead of writing a review of the event, I wanted to reproduce it. This episode of the Cinephellas podcast is the story my experience and the personal journey it necessitated. I’m forced to confront questions of identity, recognizing the space between the way I see myself and how I’m seen (or unseen) within the Hollywood machine. While those neuroses are being sorted out, I try to pay attention to a David O. Russell-moderated Q & A with Veronica and writer/director of Salt and Fire, Werner Herzog. But the most trying part of the evening is figuring out why Mr. Herzog is as fluffy as llama fur.
STARZ’ Outlander Season Three Teaser Trailer is Released!
In Season Three of “Outlander,” the story picks up right after Claire travels through the stones to return to her life in 1948. Now pregnant, she struggles with the fallout of her sudden reappearance and its effect on her marriage to her first husband, Frank. Meanwhile, in the 18th century, Jamie suffers from the aftermath of his doomed last stand at the historic battle of Culloden, as well as the loss of Claire. As the years pass, Jamie and Claire attempt to make a life apart from one another, each haunted by the memory of their lost love. The budding possibility that Claire can return to Jamie in the past breathes new hope into Claire’s heart… as well as new doubt. Separated by continents and centuries, Claire and Jamie must find their way back to each other. As always, adversity, mystery, and adventure await them on the path to reunion. And the question remains: when they find each other, will they be the same people who parted at the standing stones, all those years ago?
Book Three is set to premiere in September 2017 and will include 13 episodes based upon the third of eight books in Diana Gabaldon’s international best-selling Outlander series, entitled Voyager. Production and filming on the third season continues in Cape Town, South Africa.

You’ll Float with IT in September!
by Kevin Muller
The road for Pennywise to have his day in the sun, or lurking around in the sewers, hasn’t been an easy one. For years, the project had “floated” around with no hope of every gracing the silver screen. After his success of the incredible 2014 “True Detective,” Cary Fukanaga soon boarded the project that he aimed for a 2016 release. Cary and the studio constantly clashed over the tone of the Stephen King novel. Cary wanted to do more of a slow burn film, while the studio wanted to, as Cary put it, make a typical jump scare horror film. In a later article, I will review the screenplay that he originally wrote with Chase Palmer that was a dated 2014 script. Soon after his departure, Andres (Andy) Muschetti, stepped into the director’s chair. His 2013 film “Mama” wasn’t my favorite film but he seemed serious on bringing something good to this material.
Our first glimpse of Pennywise came back last summer with a facial shot of the character. Then a few months later an official full body pose came out. The one thing that stuck out about this interpretation of the murderous clown is that the wardrobe looked like it was from another century. In actuality that is true of the novel’s presentation of him. He has been here for hundreds of years and became a clown during the Victorian age. Muschetti had already nailed the look of the character. Some people were and are still iffy about how the costume will look in motion. Well, the poster and trailer have been released and I think we are in for one hell of a ride
