Luca Guadagnino has made several films in recent years I’ve found invigorating & some of the most rewarding but AFTER THE HUNT fails on every level. The performances are solid, but the characters don’t have a foundation to stand on & the overall look & core of this film is brutally ugly. #Filmsky

One of the most incredible things about Chappell Roan’s ascent is that she allows every festival to broadcast her set.
In less than two years she has more than a dozen shows in close to HD quality that you can stream at anytime on YouTube.

Lance Quinn, the producer of the first 2 Bon Jovi albums, passed away.
While the band moved on from the sound of those first two albums, they’re adored by longtime fans.
Lance also provided guitar on 3 songs on Jon Bon Jovi’s second solo album DESTINATION ANYWHERE.

I need to re-write this review but it’s been a decade since Butch Walker released AFRAID OF GHOSTS. Written after the death of his father, he went deep & made some of the most somber songs ever released. One of the best albums this century few talk about.
