Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Original Soundtrack by Mick Giacchino It’s hard to know exactly when we need to pull the plug on Star Wars or completely abandon it. I used to be a fan of the franchise, but somehow, re-watching in my old age (30s), it failed to connect with...

“Wuthering Heights” I don’t think anyone was asking for this movie, but we got it. I guess some people were excited, but the “Wuthering Heights” marketing team DEFINITELY insisted we wanted this movie. “This is it!” they told us. “The greatest...

WHO: Brook Pridemore WHAT: Only I Can Prevent Forest Fires WHY: We’ve been singing Brook Pridemore’s praises for years because he’s, in our minds, the most underrated solo musician currently in the biz. His music is a pleasant mix of folk, deeply inspired by punk...
