Bodybuilding Legend Rich Gaspari Talks About His New Documentary 'Gaspari' from Generation Iron Available on VOD November 3, 2023. Bodybuilding Legend Rich Gaspari took the time to talks to us about his new documentary 'Gaspari' from Generation Iron. The son of Italian immigrants, Gaspari understood the definition of hard work having watched his father, who came to the United States with a third grade education, make a better like for him and his siblings. Originally going to school for engineering, Gaspari realized that his father's dream was not his own and went out to forge his own path. Nicknamed, "The Dragon Slayer," Gaspari finished second in the IFBB Mr. Olympia and was the first ever winner of the Arnold Classic. As Gaspari's career ended following a neck injury, which resulted in a only recently going through a new, revolutionary disc replacement, Gaspari pivoted from the world of competition into supplementation with Gaspari Nutrition. Directed award-winning filmmaker, by Frank Zarrillo ('Candyman's Gold', 'The Wrestler: A Q.T. Marshall Story', 'Gaspari' follows the life of a man who transcended not only the sport of bodybuilding but the world of fitness as a whole, remaining relevant in a world of, here-today-gone-tomorrow sports heroes, continuing to reinvent himself from athlete to entrepreneur.

Co-Executive Producer, David Knight talks about 'Remembering Gene Wilder', Winning Best Overall Documentary at Newport Beach Film Festival (NBFF), tying with 'The Disappearance of Shere Hite'. David Knight along with his wife Julie Nimoy are the executive producers behind 'Remembering Gene Wilder', a wonderful documentary written by Glenn Kirschbaum detailing the life of the comedic genius who we lost to Alzheimer's.  A true labor of love from Executive Producers David Knight and Julie Nimoy, who first collaborated with Ron Frank on, ‘Remembering Leonard: His Life, Legacy and Battle with COPD‘, in 2017, which also screened at the Newport Beach Film Festival. That documentary lead to Nimoy reaching out to Karen Wilder, Gene’s widow about doing a similar documentary in his honor. Once word got out, Frank had only one person in mind to write this love letter to one Gene Wilder and that was Kirschbaum. Through the ‘Remembering Leonard: His Life, Legacy and Battle with COPD‘ documentary, Knight and Nimoy reached out to Karen Wilder, Gene's widow and with her blessing began working on 'Remembering Gene Wilder'. Knight details the love he, Nimoy and Kirschbaum have for Wilder, what it was like working with Mel Brooks on the documentary and being able to share stories of an actor that needs to be preserved for future generations.  Knight also answers the question, "Which is the better film? 'Blazing Saddles' or 'Young Frankenstein'?" The answer will not surprise anyone. ‘Remembering Gene Wilder‘ is currently on the film festival circuit and will land a theatrical run in the near future.

In 'Upload' Season Three, we pick back up with Nora and freshly downloaded Nathan as they navigate their relationship, while racing to stop the mysterious conspiracy that threatens to destroy millions of lives. Can they shut down Freeyond, and finally have a real life together? Or is it just a matter of time until Nathan’s head explodes? Meanwhile, in Lakeview, a backup copy of Nathan has been activated and Ingrid’s not about to let this second chance at love slip away. Back in the real world, Aleesha rises through the ranks of Horizen by managing AI education, and falls into a new romantic relationship.

Kathrine Barnes Co-Stars in the New BET+ Series, 'Average Joe', which premiered last night following the BET Awards. The BET Awards aired on almost every single Paramount Global owned cable station, including Nickelodeon, which was quite confusing, but what wasn't confusing is that Barnes had such an impact on the BET executives that her character was extended to 7 or the 10 episodes during the first season. Barnes has been seen on such TV shows like, 'Queer As Folk', 'Candy' and the Sundance film, 'The Glorias', as well as, 'Moonshot: Faceless After Dark and Walden.' She has also appeared on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, Christmas Special, 'Adult Swim Yule Log.' A mega Julie Andrews fan, Barnes was only slightly impressed that I knew of Andrews' film, 'SOB', which shed her Mary Poppins image in the early 1980s. However, she did talk about her architect sister and where she would throw a, "Don't you know who I am?" celebrity style tantrum once she is more readily recognized.  Barnes is also a Co-founder & Producing Partner at Vernal & Sere Theatre, she recently partnered with the Luis Buñuel Film Institute to mount the world-premiere stage adaptation of Buñuel's 1962 surrealist masterpiece, The Exterminating Angel, in which she played Silvia, the Duchess of Avila. In the series 'Average Joe',Barnes co-stars with leading man, Deon Cole, Tammy Townsend, Cynthia McWilliams, Malcolm Barrett and many others. Kathrine plays the recurring role (7-8 episodes out of 10) of 'Arina' which is nicknamed, "The Chameleon," a former KGB assassin and enforcer for the Russian mob who is dragged out of retirement and back into the world of fighting for her life in Pasha Lychnikoff’s world. 'Average Joe', which premiered on BET's new streaming service BET+ last night following the BET Awards. 'Average Joe' will stream once a week for the next 10 weeks on Sunday nights.

Documentarian Ben Berman joined me for a chat about his new two part series on ESPN's '30 for 30: The American Gladiators Documentary'. The 'American Gladiators' was a fringe sport that was shunned by the mainstream media and embraced by the American people. Former professional athletes turned gladiators would face off weekly against contenders trying to upstage the larger than life behemoths with names like Zap, Laser, Dallas, Nitro, Gemini, Thunder, Viper, Siren, Ice and Malibu. However, what we saw on TV was only the tip of the iceberg as behind the scenes, the 'American Gladiators' origin story was not the Hollywood fantasy that co-creator, Johnny Ferraro wanted everyone to believe. Ferraro was an Elvis impersonator hoping to the turn the 'American Gladiators' into a movie about the working man turned hero...or so he claimed. Berman takes us through a two part in depth dive of who the actual creators were, why Ferraro is so secretive about his associates and co-creator, "Apache" Dan Carr was not originally allowed to speak with Berman and ESPN regarding the 30 for 30 documentary. Follow Ben German on Instagram @horse_berman and Twitter @Horse_Berman. ESPN's '30 for 30: The American Gladiators Documentary' airs May 30 and 31, 2023, on ESPN and streaming on ESPN+. Synopsis: From 1989 to 1996, American Gladiators was one of the most popular syndicated programs in television, a competition show that predated the reality TV era but used many of the same techniques to attract viewers. Every week, “amateur” contestants would go up against a cast of “professional” gladiators in a range of physical competitions, setting up David versus Goliath matchups that were popular with big television audiences but also earned considerable criticism for being “crash TV”. The show’s cast and crew look back on it all, with their memories complicated by regret over what it did to many of the gladiators’ lives. And as the behind-the-scenes story of the series is told, from the beginning of the film, the central, most compelling character of the story is clear: Johnny Ferraro, the creator of American Gladiators, a former Elvis impersonator from Erie, PA who came to Hollywood with a dream of putting the show on screen and ended up with a singular success. “We’re very excited to finally get this story out into the world, and you can trust that it’ll take you to some weird places,” said Berman. “Come for the 90’s nostalgia, but stay for the Elvis impersonators, the burps, the mental torment, the murder plots, aliens, and of course the undeniable atrocity of America’s dark history. And sports. It’s got some sports too.” The film features original interviews with Johnny Ferraro, Deron McBee (‘Malibu’), Michael Horton (‘Gemini’), Lynn ‘Red’ Williams (‘Sabre’), the late William Billy Smith (‘Thunder’) and Salina Bartunek (‘Elektra’). The documentary is executive produced by ESPN Films and VICE Studios and produced by Ben Berman, Kirk Johnson, Russell Wayne Groves, Danny Gabai and Andrew Freston. Advance press screeners, additional information, including film clips and director statements and bios, are available upon request.

Orange County Grappling (OCG) Masters Wrestlers, Dr. Petros Petrosyan and Bryan Jones Defend their U.S. Open Titles on April 19 in Las Vegas, NV. Editor's Note: This article has been updated following the victories of Dr. Petrosyan and Mr. Jones at the U.S. Open, who will now go on to defend their titles at the World Championships. Dr. Petrosyan won gold in freestyle and Greco-Roman at 88 Kilos, while Mr. Jones took Bronze in Freestyle and Gold in Greco-Roman Wrestling in the 130 Kilos weight class. In 2022, Dr. Petros Petrosyan and Brian Jones competed on behalf of Orange County Grappling (OCG) at the U.S. Open Wrestling tournament in Las Vegas. At that year's tournament, both Dr. Petrosyan took gold while Mr. Jones won bronze in their respective weight classes in the Masters Division for Freestyle Wrestling.  Upon entering the World Championships, Mr. Jones had a horrible first round match in Freestyle, where he immediately switched to Greco-Roman Wrestling and became the new World's Heavyweight Champion in the Masters Division. Dr. Petrosyan won yet another world title in the 88 kilos weight class and brought home two championships to the United States. This year, Dr. Petrosyan and Mr. Jones will be aging out of the their divisions allowing them to go one more run as both will be competing in Freestyle and Greco-Roman Wrestling in Las Vegas, NV, on Wednesday, April 26, 2023. Dr. Petrosyan is the head coach for OCG, who hold their practices at Ocean View High School in Huntington Beach, CA. Mr. Jones, an assistant coach with Orange County Grappling has downplayed his wrestling skills claiming to be just an average wrestling, but being able to pivot from a loss at the world championships in Freestyle to comeback and bring home the gold to the good ol' U.S. of A. proves otherwise.  Both men plan on repeating at the U.S. Open, with Dr. Petrosyan competing in both styles will put him at 10 U.S. Championships.  If you live in the Southern California Area and wish to train with two world champions, visit www.oc-grappling.org for their full training schedule from youth wrestling to the masters division.

'God's Not Dead' Filmmakers Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman Talk Their New Film 'Nefarious' in Theaters Friday, April 14, 2023.   'Nafarious' Tag Line: On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer gets a psychiatric evaluation during which he claims he is a demon, and further claims that before their time is over, the psychiatrist will commit three murders of his own. Known for their 'God's Not Dead' franchise, filmmakers Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman face off with the devil in their latest thriller, 'Nefarious' starring Jordan Belfi as psychiatrist Dr. James Martin and Sean Patrick Flannery as the serial killer who identifies himself by the name Nefarious. Shot in a little over two weeks, the 'Nefarious' faced some supernatural events during the short shooting schedule. Belfi became a father 30-minutes before filming began, their exorcist priest who was to bless the set nearly died on set and a whole host of other demonic entities were trying to stop the production of this movie from being completed. However, Solomon and Konzelman remained true to their faith and forced forward continuing with the movie based on the novels by Steve Deace, 'A Nefarious Plot', which was released in 2016, and 'A Nefarious Carol', released in 2020. Playing out like a stage play, 'Nefarious' challenges the viewers own nihilistic ideologies as Dr. Martin must come to terms with the notion that evil may truly exist and that something can be the cause of it besides man's own human tendencies.  Solomon and Konzelman discuss how 'Nefarious' could transition into a stage page after its initial theatrical run in nearly 1,000 theaters, opening on Friday, April 14, 2023 on the Julian Calendar Good Friday, still used by the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches. 'Nefarious' is a film that does not preach to the audience. What it does allow for is a dialogue on the topic of good and evil to be discusses between its viewers.  Follow 'Nefarious' on Twitter @NefariousMovie_ and on Instagram @nefariousmovie.

Ultimate) and animated features for awhile. Clotworthy also voices the other History Channel series, 'The Curse of Oak Island,' which was also featured heavily at this year's AlienCon in Pasadena, CA. The two shows that were never intended to make it have become the foundation of History Channel programing and with that, Clotworthy is a legend within the ancient astronaut theorist communities as the questioning voice without directing anyone's opinion in any particular direction. We caught up with Robert Clotworthy for the first time since AlienCon 2019 after finally being allowed to gather in person after such a long hiatus and seeing Mr. Clotworthy was worth the wait.
