This post will include blurbs on Ultimate Factories, Restrepo, Still Bill, Mega Python vs. Gatoroid, Life After Film School, Lizzie Olsen, Operation Repo, One Born Every Minute, Discover and Travel Channel DVD's, and Archer.
- Car fanatics will want to turn into the National Geographic Channel next Thursday at 10:00 for the new series Ultimate Factories. The first episode will follow the making of the making of Dodge Challenger in the first episode and will later feature Maserati, Mercedez-Benz, Dodge Viper, and Bentley. Check out a preview below:
- In other National Geographic Channel news, for those that missed it when it originally ran, the channel is re-airing the now Oscar nominated documentary Restrepo Wednesday at 8:00. You can also go back and read my original Preview of Restrepo.
- One of my personal favorite soul singers of all-time, Bill Withers is getting a documentary treatment on Showtime next month. Next Friday on Showtime, tune into Still Bill will feature concert footage and interviews with music legends, peers, family and his closest friends.
- After all the hype, what may be the greatest movie ever (or the least greatest ever made for basic cable movie) premieres tomorrow. Of course I am referring to Tiffany / Debby Gibson showdown, Mega Python vs. Gatoroid. Below is a preview of the throw down between the former teen idols.
