When Joe Keery first moved to Chicago to attend DePaul University’s Theatre School, he had no idea what direction his life would take. After graduating in 2014, the Massachusetts native stuck around for three more years, working at a restaurant, getting small acting gigs, playing in his former band Post Animal, and moving from neighborhood to neighborhood.
“It was kind of whatever would hit first,” he recalls over coffee in the West Village. These days, Keery has settled down in downtown New York between shooting shows like Stranger Things and Fargo.

In the middle of August this year, three legends of the music industry died within 72 hours of each other: founder of A&m Records Jerry Moss; music lawyer Abe Somer; and my father, the “Black Godfather” himself, Clarence Avant. These three men helped define the recording industry of the past six decades, and what’s more, they were inseparable best friends.
Somer, Moss, and Avant met in New York City in the early 1960s, and in the six decades since, never left one another’s side, never once let their “soul contract” expire.

Jerry Moss, who co-founded A&m Records with Herb Alpert and released top-selling albums by The Carpenters, The Police, Alpert and others, has died. He was 88.
Moss’ family said he died peacefully from natural causes Tuesday night at his home in Bel Air. “Jerry was a force of nature,” his wife, Tina Moss, said. “He lived life to the fullest.”
“I never met a nicer, more honest, sensitive, smart and talented man than my partner Jerry Moss,” Alpert said in a statement.
Moss and Alpert were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. At the 1966 Grammys, he won record of the year for co-producing “A Taste of Honey,” sharing the win with Alpert, too. He received four other Grammy nominations and he earned the Grammy Trustees Award — awarded to those who “made significant contributions, other than performance, to the field of recording” — in 1997.

Bruce Gowers, the Emmy award-winning director of “American Idol: The Search for a Superstar” and the original video for “Bohemian Rhapsody,” died Jan. 15 in his Santa Monica home after suffering from an acute respiratory infection, according to family members. He was 82.
Between 2002 and 2011, Gowers directed 234 episodes of “American Idol” over the course of eight seasons, earning him five Grammy nominations and one win for outstanding directing on a variety, music or comedy series in 2009.
Gowers was previously nominated for the same Emmy award in 1998 for his work on the TV special “Fleetwood Mac: The Dance” the year prior. In 1985, he also shared a nomination with the editors of “The Fifth International Guinness Book of World Records” for outstanding videotape editing for a limited series or a special.

It’s been more than three years since Ari Aster unleashed the skull-cracking terror of “Midsommar” unto unsuspecting audiences. The writer/director’s sophomore outing from 2019 — a cult film starring Florence Pugh that’s best remembered for its fiery finale and lush production design — echoed and exploded the finesse of his first: a nasty and spare possession flick starring a career-best Toni Collette and the dauntless Alex Wolff and Milly Shapiro.
Aster’s breakout feature debut “Hereditary” turned the writer/director into one of the hottest indie filmmakers of 2018. Formerly known for his stomach-churning short “The Strange Thing About the Johnsons,” the AFI graduate became the face of A24’s burgeoning art house of horrors just as his work came to shape the so-called “elevated horror” moment of the late 2010s. It’s a fitting arc for a filmmaker who has described a lifelong love affair with the horror genre.

Getting home proves an especially bizarre and danger-filled journey for a paranoid man with mommy issues, played by Joaquin Phoenix, in the first trailer for Beau is Afraid, which dropped on Tuesday.
The teaser for writer-director Ari Aster’s A24 film opens on Beau, played by Phoenix, having a frightening flashback to a family cruise vacation during his childhood. “I’m so sorry for what your dad passed down to you, but I wanted a child. … The greatest gift of my life,” Beau’s mother tells his younger self.
Then, Beau, suddenly fast-forwarded to the present, tells his therapist: “I’m visiting my mother tomorrow.” That unleashes a bizarre and, at times trippy, journey where Beau, at one point escaping the clutches of his doctor, played by Nathan Lane, darts around and over people while madly running in the street, gets hit by a car and even walks through a...

We’ve all seen trailers that begin like this. Before even the studio’s title card shows up on screen, we hear the first bars of a popular song from roughly 30-40 years ago. Instantly, we know that an indie dramedy with big stars is about to introduce itself. There will be drama, of course, and there will be conflict, surely, but as the familiar refrains of a beloved chorus rises, we’re already subliminally conditioned to expect a happy outcome for the star in question.
… Yet this time that star is Joaquin Phoenix, that studio title card belongs to A24, and the film in question is the latest effort from writer-director Ari Aster. At this point, we know about as much on Beau Is Afraid as you do, but it’s still easy to see something is… off.

Netflix released the new original film “Spiderhead” last week, but in addition to debuting a new thriller starring Chris Hemsworth and Miles Teller, the streamer also unveiled a truly killer soundtrack of yacht rock staples – and you can see the full “Spiderhead” soundtrack list below.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski (“Top Gun: Maverick”) and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (“Deadpool”), “Spiderhead” is based on a dystopian short story by George Saunders and takes place entirely at a facility called – you guessed it – Spiderhead. Run by Chris Hemsworth’s Steve Abnesti, this facility is host to prisoners serving long sentences who have agreed to take part in an experimental drug trial in exchange for more freedoms.
But as Teller’s prisoner character Jeff soon learns, there may be more than meets the eye when it comes to the true nature behind these experimental drug trials.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Season 2, Episodes 1-8 of Hacks.] Hacks may be all about the jokes, but the HBO Max comedy wouldn’t be the same without its curated list of music to bring memorable scenes together. Whether it’s the use of Elton John‘s “The Bitch Is Back” to convey Deborah’s (Jean Smart) bold choice to sue Ava (Hannah Einbinder) for breaking her NDA or the bittersweet bite to Supertramp’s “Goodbye Stranger” in the season’s final moments, music supervisor Matt Biffa is responsible for sewing all of these moments together with the scripted footage. “I always start is to think about the characters really,” Biffa says of his process. “I just try and read and reread what scripts I have access to and get those characters in my head and try and work out who they are.” And there was more than enough for him to work with when it came to ...

As the final minutes of “Hacks” Season 2 ticked by, it was hard to shake the feeling that they just might mark the final minutes of “Hacks,” period. With Deborah (the incomparable Jean Smart) finally tapping in to a more personal and rewarding vein of her comedy to huge success, before pushing Ava (the underrated Hannah Einbinder) out of the nest to forge her own path in Hollywood, the series easily could’ve ended there. Even Deborah’s CEO Marcus (Carl Clemons-Hopkins) and agent Jimmy (Paul W. Downs) got their versions of a happily-ever-after, with Marcus taking active steps toward balancing his work and personal life and Jimmy quitting his agency to forge ahead with his own.
With so much of the show seemingly wrapped up in as neat a bow as these chaotic characters may ever have, some might have seen its Season 3 renewal as a bit of a surprise.

Jerry Moss, the co-founder of A&m Records, doesn’t like to dwell on regrets and missed opportunities, but that doesn’t mean that there haven’t been promising things that have slipped through his fingers. “I think we had the opportunity to sign Neil Diamond and we couldn’t afford it at the time, but to see Neil flourish the way he has is very heartwarming,” he says during our recent webchat (watch the video interview above). He does enjoy looking back on some of the great music the label produced and singles out albums by Sting, Peter Frampton and Joe Cocker as being his personal favorites that A&m put out.
The story of the label is told in the new documentary, “Mr. A & Mr. M: The Story of A&M Records,” which recently premiered on Epix. It spans from the founding of the label by Moss and Grammy winner...

The only thing editor Tatiana S. Riegel will spill on Hulu’s limited series “Pam and Tommy” is the tease, “It’s going to be good. It’s outrageous. There’s Disney,” she says referring to her latest project “Cruella” (in theaters and streaming on Disney Plus Premier Access). “Then there’s ‘Pam and Tommy,’ It’s a big difference,” she laughs.
The series is a take on the true story behind the release of the first-ever viral video in history — the sex tape of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, who are played by Sebastian Stan and Lily James. She adds, “It’s a surprisingly emotional thing. You end up having a lot of compassion and insight into people that you certainly don’t at the beginning of it.”

Their set mixed songs by the Who, the Eagles, Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers, and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, though the group dissolved after just four gigs in Japan and one in Hawaii.

If you haven’t had your coffee yet, no worries, because the amount of scandal-fueled screaming in the trailer for Apple TV+’s upcoming drama “The Morning Show” should wake you right up.
Released early Monday, the 2-minute, 50-second video opens with Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston), co-anchor of early morning newscast “The Morning Show,” revealing on-air that her longtime co-host Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell) has been fired over “allegations” she doesn’t know the “details” about. And Mitch, watching at home, uses a fire-poker to bash in her face on his TV.
Set to Supertramp’s “Goodbye Stranger,” the rest of the trailer features a great deal of screaming, as the “Morning Show” team struggles to survive in the wake of scandal and looks to replace Mitch with younger reporter Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon) — who might actually be gunning for Alex’s job.

“He had great timing,” says music supervisor Simon Astall. “We got this demo for a song that’s going to be on his next album and it worked in episode seven.”
Titled “That Was Yesterday,” its placement is part of the producers’ use of songs and specific artists as a connective tissue from season to season and even episode to episode. It’s the music of Charles Bradley and Ann Pebbles, the sound of Janis Joplin, and songs such as Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” that work their way into multiple episodes.

The sound and music editor and re-recording mixer behind Bohemian Rhapsody, John Warhurst and Paul Massey came to the project with ample experience on music-based films, and still needed time to get their footing, figuring out how this particular one could work.
Telling the remarkable true story of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, the drama follows the band’s rise from humble beginnings through their iconic performance at Live Aid in 1985. Given the nature of the story at hand, Warhurst and Massey knew the project would be demanding. Mercury’s voice was singular, seemingly impossible to match, and the film would need the right star to channel his charisma.
The pic would eventually find its lead in Rami Malek, who is making his first run at Oscar this year, though there were more fundamental quandaries to confront, in terms of the film’s approach to sound.“There were many discussions, because...

Sunday Soundtrack takes a look at movies that feature memorable sounds that could be heard on the original soundtrack release or in the film itself.
Like Peter Pan or Superman you will come to save me. C’mon and save me. If you could save me from the ranks of the freaks who suspect they could never love anyone. – (Save Me lyrics)
The soundtrack for Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia has the pleasure of being dominated by Aimee Mann, the soundtrack was her first opportunity to release new material for the film as well as get some other tunes heard. The music (each of her nine songs for the film) fit so well together and makes Magnolia feel like a unique,...
