JOE ROGAN PODCAST: Shock Circus of Minds & Mirth
August 14, 2024 in PODCAST

Ah, the Joe Rogan Experience, that sprawling digital podcast universe where the only thing more diverse than the guests is the sheer volume of questionable opinions on alien life. If you’ve ever found yourself tuning in, you’ll know: it’s like spending three hours in a bar with the smartest and strangest people you could ever imagine—but without the awkward silence after someone brings up their new essential oil journey.
With over 11 million viewers per episode—yes, you read that right—Rogan has effectively become the mad hatter of the podcasting world. One minute, you’re pondering the existential musings of a scientist discussing the mysteries of the universe, and the next, you’re listening to a mixed martial arts fighter explaining why he believes the moon landing was staged. It’s the ultimate intellectual buffet! You can feast on knowledge one moment, and then choke on a conspiracy theory the next—it’s all part of the experience, folks!
From the likes of Entrepreneur Elon Musk, who once sipped whiskey and puffed a little weed while musing at length about artificial intelligence’s potential takeover of humanity, colonizing space, and love to the legendary Bernie Sanders, who somehow manages to sound both like your favorite grandparent and the embodiment of all things we really wished we had but somehow just don’t. Rogan’s roster reads like an SAT prep book’s A-list. In one episode, he’s grilling a UFO expert about government cover-ups, and in the next, he’s chumming it up with a comedian who claims he’s mastered the art of Time Traveling via deep meditation. Who knew enlightenment could be achieved with a side of laughter and a dash of recreational substances?
And let’s not forget the recurring theme of fitness, which seems to be a staple of Rogan’s discussions. Between sips of high-quality, mushroom-infused coffee (yes, that’s a real product), guests like Jocko Willink and Tim Ferriss extol the virtues of operating at full physical capacity. Meanwhile, we’re sitting on my couches in sweats, contemplating the near-synonymous relationship between six missed gym days and the all-you-can-eat pizza special. All of this, while Joe enthusiastically promotes the benefits of cold exposure therapy like it’s the hottest new trend in cardio—who knew that shivering could be a workout?
Of course, what would a Joe Rogan podcast be without the quintessential “Bro Science” moment? You know those snippets where a guest articulates some wildly courageous theory followed by Rogan saying, “I can see how that might be true!” So, if you’re itching to enrich your life with an abundance of knowledge and “scientific” tidbits on why you should only eat raw meat—well, it’s all just another day on the JRE.
At the end of the day, the Joe Rogan Experience is not just a show; it’s the chaotic tour bus of human thought, whims, and laughter. Each episode feels like a spontaneous holiday party where the guests just might turn out to be geniuses, skeptics, or sometimes, just that one guy who insists his cat can predict the weather. So, if you’re looking to have your mind expanded, your beliefs challenged, and your funny bone tickled all at once, buckle up and tune in—it’s going to be a bumpy ride!

BADBOYS: RIDE OR DIE – Will Smith, Martin Lawrence Return in Comedy/Action Thriller
June 20, 2024 in MOVIES & FILM, NEWS
The wait is finally over! After almost 30 years, the dynamic duo of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back on the big screen with ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die,’ a highly anticipated sequel to the iconic action-comedy franchise. Picking up where the last film left off, Smith and Lawrence reprise their beloved roles as Detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, respectively, as they navigate a new investigation that tests their unbreakable bond and threatens their very existence.
‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’ sees Lowrey and Burnett facing their greatest challenge yet. Mike, still reeling from the loss of his partner, is more reckless than ever, while Marcus, now a family man, is determined to retire from the force. But their peaceful lives are shattered when a mysterious new threat emerges, forcing them to put their differences aside and team up once again to save the day. Fans can expect the same fast-paced action, hilarious banter, and unforgettable chemistry that made the original ‘Bad Boys’ films so beloved.

With the return of director Michael Bay, known for his over-the-top visual style, ‘Ride or Die’ promises to be a visually stunning and action-packed experience. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence bring their signature charm and comedic timing to the roles of Mike and Marcus, creating a dynamic that is both hilarious and heartwarming.
The film also features a stellar supporting cast, including Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, and Paola Nuñez, who add depth and intrigue to the narrative. ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’ is more than just a sequel; it’s a celebration of the enduring power of friendship, family, and the thrill of a good old-fashioned action comedy. Get ready for a wild ride, hilarious moments, and a dose of nostalgia that will leave you wanting more.
Witness the return of one of cinema’s most enduring duos as they embark on a dangerous mission that will put their bond to the ultimate test. Prepare for a wild and action-packed ride that will redefine the meaning of ‘bad boys.’
The death of Captain Howard in Bad Boys for Life was a shocking loss to one of the franchise’s key characters. Joe Pantoliano first played the character in 1995’s Bad Boys and stayed in the role for the first three movies alongside stars Smith and Lawrence. While the latest trailer for the fourth movie, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, shows that Howard will appear again, it will be in a much different capacity as he was assassinated as a message to the heroes in the third movie. Howard, the rage-filled yet caring mentor to the two cops, was a highlight of the first three movies. Although it is sad to lose his character, he is not all gone and appears in this new BadBoys film via videos he made before his untimely death.

EAST END STUDIOS- Breaks Ground on NYC Studios
November 16, 2023 in TV/INTERNET
NEW YORK – Surrounded by labor leaders and partners from the film and TV industry, New York City Mayor Eric Adams today was joined by New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) President and CEO Andrew Kimball, Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME) Commissioner Pat Kaufman, and East End Studios to break ground on a film and TV-ready production studio in Sunnyside, Queens that will create nearly 1,000 construction jobs and roughly 750 permanent, full-time jobs. The city’s film and TV production industry employs more than 185,000 New Yorkers.
The start of construction — which follows a similar milestone at another campus at Pier 94 Manhattan — kicks off the return of the city’s film and TV production industry, after the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and Writer’s Guild for America (WGA) ended their respective strikes this fall. It also marks a key stop on Mayor Adams’ “Working People’s Tour,” continuing to create jobs and power New York City’s economic recovery after the city set an all-time high job record with 4.7 million total jobs, recovering the nearly 1 million jobs lost during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Thanks to SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America securing fair deals for their workers, film and TV production is back in New York City — helping more than 185,000 New Yorkers get back to work,” said Mayor Adams. “New York City is back, but our work is not done until every New Yorker has a pathway to success. We’re thrilled to see East End Studios bringing more than 1,500 jobs to the city and joining the ecosystem of successful local production spaces that are continuing to elevate Western Queens as a worthy rival of Hollywood.”
“As we continue our Working People’s Tour in celebration of hitting a new all-time job record in New York City, we are thrilled our unions and studios have reached agreements and we welcome the return of film and TV production — a vital component of New York City’s Economy,” said Deputy Mayor for Housing, Economic Development, and Workforce Maria Torres-Springer. “The East End Studios Sunnyside Campus will build on New York City’s strong foundation of local production facilities that keeps world-leading productions and a family-sustaining jobs in New York City.”
“NYCEDC celebrates the East End Studios Sunnyside Campus groundbreaking and is thrilled with the progress made on this new state-of-the-art film- and TV-ready production studio that was just announced over the summer,” said NYCEDC President and CEO Kimball. “With the development of the new East End Studios facility here in Queens, and the recent groundbreaking of Sunset Pier 94 Studios — the first purpose-built studio campus in Manhattan — last month, film and TV production continues to be a huge driver of New York City’s economy, providing good-paying jobs for New Yorkers across the five boroughs.”
“Today’s groundbreaking at the new East End Studios Sunnyside Campus is not only an indication of this city’s commitment to the future of our world-famous film and TV industry, but also a moment to celebrate the historic resolution of the 118-day SAG-AFTRA strike,” said MOME Commissioner Kaufman. “Combined with the recent expansion of the New York state film tax credit, today’s groundbreaking will serve as an economic driver for local businesses, create jobs for New Yorkers, and further our city’s reputation as a global creative capital.”
“New York City has profound unmet demand for best-in-class, fully integrated stage campuses. Our Sunnyside Campus will provide an elevated standard of workflow that doesn’t exist in any New York City stage at this time,” said Jonathon Yormak, founding partner, East End Studios. “East End Studios is exceptionally proud to participate in the city’s ever-growing place in the production landscape. We are honored to acknowledge today’s milestone with our valued partners at the New York City Economic Development Corporation, the New York City Industrial Development Agency, and the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment.”
Rendering of the East End Studios Sunnyside Campus, set to be complete in early 2025.
The East End Studios Sunnyside Campus will be a 340,000-square-foot, Class A facility with three full-service, ground-floor soundstages totaling 75,000 square feet. The project also houses a 15,000-square-foot rooftop flex-stage that offers sweeping views of the Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan skylines. The stages are supported by 125,000 square feet of production, office, and mill spaces. Like all of East End Studios’ projects, the Sunnyside facility will be fully integrated with extended reality and virtual reality infrastructure, including the capability to shoot on a virtual stage and high-speed fiber connectivity with scalable production-level internet.
The project — with a total cost of approximately $275 million — is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2025. The New York City Industrial Development Agency— which supports business growth, relocation, and expansion across the five boroughs by lowering the cost of capital investment — provided financial support.
New York City’s film and TV industry has grown significantly over the last decade, supporting 185,000 jobs, generating over $18 billion in wages, and contributing more than $82 billion in economic impact. After struggling during the pandemic, the city’s arts and entertainment sector continues to show positive momentum in its jobs recovery under the Adams administration — growing nearly 16 percent between May 2022 and May 2023 — and recovering nearly 46,000 jobs since the start of the pandemic.
“The WGA East is committed to supporting a film and television community that can thrive and create jobs here in New York,” said Lisa Takeuchi Cullen, president, Writers Guild of America (WGA) East. “Now that writing services are a qualified, covered expense under the New York State Film Tax Credit Program, we are hopeful that more writers’ rooms will be located in New York, bringing more productions and filling soundstages like the new East End Studios Sunnyside Campus.”
“Theatrical Teamsters Local 817 is excited about East End Studios coming online,” said Tom O’Donnell, president, Theatrical Teamsters Local 817. “Its opening further cements New York City as the go-to location for episodic production.”
“I’m a proud graduate of the ‘Made in NY’ Production Assistant training program, which opened the door for me 11 years ago into New York City’s film and TV industry and I have never looked back,” said Julian “Jay” Montoya, graduate, Made in NY. “Thank goodness that the strikes are over so that this new studio, located right here in Sunnyside, Queens, can provide opportunities for me to work.”
