I have gotten a plethora of cool press releases flooding my inbox recently that you may find interesting. This post includes blurbs on The Mighty Nein, Hazbin Hotel, Great Lake Swimmers and Sofia Camara.
- Prime Video released the official trailer for the highly anticipated new series, The Mighty Nein, from Critical Role and Titmouse. The dark and edgy animated series revealed “a homeless wizard”, “an inebriated goblin”, “a shipwrecked sailor”, “a cocky ringmaster”, “a temperamental monk” and “chaos incarnate”. The Mighty Nein follows a group of fugitives and outcasts, bound by secrets and scars. But when a powerful arcane relic known as "The Beacon" falls into dangerous hands, they must learn to work together to save the realm and stop reality itself from unraveling. The series will premiere on November 19 on Prime Video, in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
- At the packed Hazbin Hotel New York Comic Con panel, Prime Video unveiled an exclusive new clip from Season Two, as well as a new single and music video for “Gravity,” performed by Jessica Vosk and Alex Brightman. Listen HERE and watch the music video HERE. The exclusive clip features Vox explaining his master plan to The Vees, whether they understand it or not.

- Toronto-based indie folk band Great Lake Swimmers share their much anticipated ninth studio album Caught Lightout now. Alongside the full project, the group shares soothing live footage of "ForYouToComeAround" from Odd Fellows Hall in St. Catharines, Ontario.The band will embark on a lengthy tour beginning October 15 through Canada and the U.S. with support from Elliott BROOD, Rita Visser,JustinWells and AbePartridge on select dates with several dates sold out or with few tickets remaining.See all dates below and find tickets and more information via greatlakeswimmers.com/shows. Frontman and founder TonyDekker shares, "'For You To Come Around' is about being stuck at the station, in a state between being and becoming. It's about the baggage we carry and the emotional lifting it requires for us to endure, and ultimately, it is about loneliness and longing, and the inability to truly know someone. It might be 'Waiting For Godot,' if that were a 1970s country-folk inspired story song." Watch: "For You To Come Around" (Live At Odd Fellows Hall)
- Rising global pop star Sofia Camara releases her second EP of the year, Hard To Love, via 21 Entertainment Group and Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company, with international support from Mercury Records in the US and Polydor Records in the UK.

Task:Um, what
happened to the phone and when did it get swapped?And who was Grossanova texting with?I guess it is very obvious that Martha Plimpton
is the mole at this point and she did something with the phone.Now the question is: does she have any help
on the inside.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon:There is no why that did catch up to the
carriage.So, what did that and what
happened to him and who he was looking for.
Only Murders in the Building:Between Loretta’s apartment being burned (the
window being broken makes it seem like it was not an accident), Oliver’s
backstory, and Mabel reconnecting with Thé, this felt like a very special
episode.But two lines really stood out
to me.The petition guy talking about
turning buildings into casinos.So, are
the billionaires paying off the mayor to make this happen?Is that who Oliver’s buyer is?Are they trying to turn all of the Arconia
into a casino.But if Oliver is going to
sell his apartment, my guess is that he will sell it to Rainey.
The other line that stood out was Sofia mentioning her husband had
many businesses at The Arconia.“Many”
seems to imply more than the two we know of.I wonder what other businesses he had.But it looks like we will be going back to the billionaires as suspects
next week.Though, with all the
businesses that Bash Steed has, I doubt he know everything that is going on
with them and someone else exploited the footage and was catfishing Charles.
Chad Powers:So,
did they have to get permission from Tesla to have Chad drive one of their
trucks to show just how big of a douche he is? But overall, the first episode
was kind of dumb, but I will admit I laughed multiple times.But it feels like the blind chick from the
show where she solves crimes with her dog is doing the same thing, just she can
see.Did no one tell her this is a
comedy.
The Lowdown:Um, so did the Wildlife guy never look for his jacket?And what did the dudes who kidnapped Lee have
to do with that boat?And is Lee going
to get kidnapped every episode.
Survivor:Oh
wow, two of the most annoying players when home the first two weeks.Though I did not understand the theory of
voting out your ally’s number one in hopes they become your number one.That would just be annoying them and turn on you.
The Challenge: Vets and New Threats:That new stake a claim twist was
confusing.I guess I have to see it in
action to fully understand it.But I felt
bad for Tay, how about take her mask off once she ran out of balls. And to add
insult to injury, she had to sit there blindfolded having to only hear that the
other team won.
Peacemaker:So
white supremacist Auggie actually did not like the Nazis in his world?Was the guy to a contrarian is every
universe.But just how is Peacemaker
going to fit into the finale if he is in prison? Will he get a cell next to
Lex?How will his imprisonment effect a
third season?Will we have to wait another
three and a half years for a new season?

I could make a river, wouldn’t even matter.” BENEE shares, “I wrote ‘Underwater’ about that disconnect between how effortless you seem and how heavy you really feel. I think a lot of people will recognise themselves in that.”

The episode notes the song’s nods to John Lennon, most prominently the piano riff inspired by ‘Imagine’. The music video, directed by Nigel Dick, features the band being chauffeured by renowned British actor Patrick Macnee, known for playing John Steed in the classic 1960’s TV series The Avengers. Released as the fourth single from Oasis’ landmark album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, the track became the band’s second UK #1 hit and has since become a powerful anthem of resilience and unity.

"Working on ‘The Last Frontier’ was an absolute blast,” shares Marx. “I got to collaborate with Inuit throat singing duo PIQSIQ, evoke the Alaskan wilderness, and really play with expectations of an ‘action’ score. Thanks so much to Jon Bokenkamp (series creator) and Apple for encouraging all the experimentation and fun!" Listen to “Classical Gas”, the main title from the “The Last Frontier”

As Smith puts it:“The 4:30 Movie is an ode to lifelong love of not just movies but movie theaters as well. Anything important I ever learned about myself wasn’t discovered in a classroom or church — I learned it in the same movie theater where we shot this homage to the 80’s. And since it’s so heavily biographical, it’s almost essentially the prequel to Clerks. I hope the Pluto peeps love it as much as I do.”
