Music Monday: The End Of The World (Friend of the People Mixtape) by Lupe Fiasco

I posted the awesome M83 track "Midnight City" as a Music Monday song a few weeks ago, and now one of my favorite rappers has used that beat to lay down their rhymes. Two great things together, to make a really fantastic song.

Lupe Fiasco released a new mixtape recently and "The End Of The World" is a highlight! Listen to the song right here:

9 Pop Culture Things I'm Thankful For

While everyone lists the things they're thankful for in terms of family, friends, loved ones, life experiences and all that mumbo jumbo, I need to send out a few thanks for the pop culture, TV, and movie related things that helped make this year awesome.

1. Superhero Movies
I am so glad this trend is still going strong. Even with a couple duds like THE GREEN LANTERN, they're producing some great ones like CAPTAIN AMERICA. Plus, I'm so excited for the upcoming AVENGERS!

2. Revenge
My favorite of the new shows, it's definitely been keeping me on my toes! While the first few episodes were a little formulaic with a "revenge-a-week," it's become more interesting and wrenches get thrown in Emily's plans.

3. Netflix Instant
While Netflix has had a less than stellar year, I'm still thankful for the access to movies and TV at my fingertips. The fact that I've been able to catch up on Parks & Recreation while at the gym still blows my mind. Not to mention the recent announcement that when (if?) Arrested Development comes back, it'll be available exclusively on Netflix. Technology is amazing!

4. The Vampire Diaries
While I haven't been recapping this season, it's still one of the best shows on television! The plot moves at a breakneck pace, and even the exposition/mythology explaining episodes are handled deftly and are engaging.

5. What exactly is a "party pooper?"
This hilarious video is still one of my most popular posts and it's not hard to see why!

6. Saturday Night Live
This season has been fantastic, with a great list of hosts and musical guests. Plus, they gave us this gem:


7. Get Out of There Cat
LOLcats may be a little played out by now, but cats being where they don't belong? Love it!

8. DisneyBound
I love Disney, I'm starting to get in to fashion a bit more, and this is the perfect blend of both. Girly, geeky, and cute - right up my alley!

9. YOU
Of course, I'm thankful for my readers! I love interacting with everyone in the comments, on the Facebook page, and on Twitter. Thanks so much for reading and watching what I post. I really, truly appreciate every one of you and am glad others enjoy Pop Culture like random viral videos and memes, TV and films as much as I do. :)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! What pop culture things are you thankful for this year?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers!

Beauty and the Beast 3D trailer

When Disney re-released THE LION KING in 3D, I was wary because it didn't need to be converted to the new medium to be a good movie. It's a timeless classic that I would have preferred to see on the big screen in 2D, in bright vibrant color. Luckily, there were a few theaters that did that! I'm hoping BEAUTY AND THE BEAST will have the same sort of release in 2012.

It's one of my favorite Disney films and I am glad that it's getting reintroduced to a new generation, even if it means a not entirely necessary post-conversion to 3D. Catch the trailer after the break.

Michael Fassbender Knows His Wangs

This is a slight NSFW video, so if you're sitting at your office desk just bookmark this for later. You don't want to miss it, but you definitely don't want to get caught by your boss watching it!

MTV's After Hours apparently has a segment called "Members Only" where they have celebrities try to guess the male celebs in the movie screen shots, based just off the penis in the frame. Surprisingly, Fassbender does really well! It's the banter and guessing that really make this video. "You know that penis" and pretty much all the comments around Viggo Mortensen's picture are the best!

Watch the video after the break.

Sundance Channel's The Mortified Sessions premieres in December

Sundance Channel's newest show The Mortified Sessions is premiering soon! Check out the official blurb: 

Did you rock a fanny pack in the 90's? Could you have passed for a Chia Pet with your 80's hair do? Remember those days when MC hammer pants were cool? 

Well Sundance does, and on December 5th, hilarious Office actor Ed Helms, Oscar winner Mo'Nique, and star of Modern Family Eric Stonestreet will be recounting those days during the premiere of Sundance Channel's new show The Mortified Sessions. Get to know how your favorite celebrities became who they are by taking an entertaining look at who they were.  From awkward childhood photos to embarrassing poetry, this is one trip down memory lane you have to see!   The Mortified Sessions will premiere in a back to back stacked TV event on December 5th starting at 8PM ET on Sundance Channel!   

Visit http://on.fb.me/SDMortifiedSessions or http://www.sundancechannel.com/the-mortified-sessions/ for more info.

Ed Helms is now the best part of The Office so I'm already interested just because of his involvement!  I'll have to track down what channel is The Sundance Channel on my cable box, just so I can check this baby out. Will you tune in?

Music Monday: My Moon My Man by Feist

Last week I was lucky enough to catch Feist at The Wiltern for The Audio Perv. You can see my full review of the show there. While Feist just came out with a new album, Metals, I still prefer their older tracks - like My Moon My Man. Catch the song after the break.

SNL Highlight: Really??!?! with Seth & Kermit

One of my favorite segments of Weekend Update has always been "REALLY!?! with Seth & Amy" so I was super excited to hear it would be back on the show. Then you add in a Muppet and it just skyrocketed to the top of my list of awesome things that happened this weekend. Watch Seth and Kermit take down the whole "pizza is a vegetable" nonsense that happened in Congress last week:

SNL Highlight: Jason Segel and Paul Rudd make out!

Everyone was expecting the Muppet cameos in the show, but I was pleasantly surprised when Paul Rudd showed up for the Kissing Thanksgiving sketch! It was a brief cameo, but hilarious thanks to the ferocity that they just went at it! There was just so much tongue, I don't even know how they were able to stay in character and just go with it. Watch the entire family be way too affectionate after the break.

SNL Highlight: Jason Segel and THE MUPPETS Opening Monologue

Please tell me you're excited for the new MUPPETS movie! If not, I don't know if we can be online friends. Jason Segel took the Saturday Night Live stage this past weekend and did an excellent job hosting, along with some stellar cameos from Muppets, Paul Rudd, and a politician. Check out the great musical opening monologue after the break.

Jizz in My Pants: TWILIGHT Edition!

In "honor" of BREAKING DAWN's release tomorrow, enjoy this hilarious video of The Lonely Island/SNL's "Jizz in my Pants." I love the facial expressions they got of Bella and Edward! Are you planning on seeing TWILIGHT this weekend?

The Small Screen Podcast: Episode 11 (COMMUNITY's future is GRIMM)

This week's big news is definitely NBC's release of their midseason schedule. Including some time shifts and premiere dates, the biggest news of all that sent shockwaves (shockwaves!) through the internet television community, was the disappearance of Community from the schedule. Listen as we dive in to the news, as well as talk about the People's Choice Awards, the Oscars drama, and what we've been watching this week.

Download and subscribe on iTunes.

Catch the full breakdown and listen to the episode after the break.

Goodnight iPad: Goodnight Moon for a new generation

I remember reading Goodnight Moon as a kid. It looks like it's getting a funny, modern update to include all the technology that distracts us from sleeping night after night. I know there are plenty of nights (and mornings!) where I just lie in bed on my iPhone, catching up on tweets and Facebook, instead of sleeping.

Music Monday: Midnight City by M83

This may be in a Victoria Secret commercial, but it's still a pretty awesome song! Have you discovered any other great tracks from commercials and television?

SNL Highlight: Everyone Cries to Adele's "Someone Like You"

The best sketch of the night was definitely the last sketch, so if you couldn't stay up to watch the cast cry together to Adele's soulful ballad "Someone Like You" then you can watch this shoddy pirated version right here. Unfortunately, because of music streaming rights this sketch and my other favorite sketch "Les Jeunes Des Paris" aren't available on Hulu.

Watch them cry after the break, quick before NBC takes offline:

SNL Highlight: Emma Stone's Opening Monologue with Spider-Man

Emma Stone did a fantastic job as host of this week's Saturday Night Live. This was her second time appearing on the show, and I hope she comes back for many more.

She's been busy joining the exciting world of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN with (rumored beau) Andrew Garfield. Check out her hilarous opening monologue where Andy Samberg takes on the role of Spider-Man and rehashes the same monologue from the 2001 Spider-man monlogue with Kristen Dunst. Watch the full monologue after the break.

IMMORTALS is the best new release this week

Today is 11/11/11 and there was a big marketing push around that for a few movies, particularly IMMORTALS. But what else came out today? Apparently, not much in terms of quality...

J. Edgar has the pedigree with Leonardo DiCaprio and Clint Eastwood involved. However, the reviews have been pretty mixed, given that caliber of talent.

Jack and Jill is so obviously terrible that I really don't need to get into it here.

And that leaves IMMORTALS. I saw it a couple weeks ago and while it's not a great Greek epic and certainly doesn't live up to 300, it was definitely an enjoyable watch thanks to some stellar visuals, amazing 3D, and visionary fight scenes. You can ready my full review on NapiersNews.com. 

And for those of my readers who are also fans of The Vampire Diaries, the evil king's sniveling sidekick is TVD's Klaus! He's way better at being evil than being evil's sidekick though. I was pretty disappointed he didn't get a chance to really shine - he was basically the movie's punching bag throughout.

If you see IMMORTALS this weekend, let me know your thoughts in the comments!

The Small Screen Podcast: Episode 10 (Is PSYCH better than COMMUNITY?)

We tackle that question and more in this week's episode of The Small Screen Podcast! Check below for the full breakdown, then be sure to follow me (@kristal_bailey) and my co-host (@poppas2cents) on Twitter and his blog www.poppas2cents.com.

Listen to the episode and get the full breakdown of what was discussed after the break.

What is a "Party Pooper" exactly?

The US/English idiom of someone being a "party pooper" has this guy wondering how that is even socially acceptable. Check out this hilarious moment of something being lost in translation!

Music Monday: Block after Block by Matt and Kim

With that extra hour of sleep, I've got a bit more bounce in my step this Monday morning! Listening to this upbeat tune from Matt & Kim certainly helps too.



What song helps you get going in the morning?

SNL Highlight: A Kardashian Divorce Special

This is probably the only time the word/name "Kardashian" will ever appear on this blog. The Kardashian family is a running joke in Hollywood that it seems everyone gets but them. Is it bad that I could totally see this being a legitimate special?

Check the hilarious clip after the break.

Hardcore Geekery: A Legend of Zelda Rap

For those who not only love playing the Legend of Zelda, but also enjoy gangsta rap and the hardcore life of an elf, this track is for you!

Watch the video after the break. 

Spooky Relations: An X-rated Afterlife?

It's no longer Halloween season, but there's still plenty of spookiness and hauntings in the world. This woman and her family claim to be visited by ghosts. We've heard that all before - a small child in a mirror, apparitions in photos, etc - BUT I've never heard of ghosts having sex before. And in front of her 4-year-old daughter, no less! Is this too crazy to believe?

Watch the full interview with the family - including photos to "prove" it - on Fox8. 

The Small Screen Podcast: Episode 9 (Is the new season looking GRIMM?)

There were lots of new season pick-ups, and one last series premiere - GRIMM. We also talk about Chuck's season debut and which of the many new shows we think is the most promising. Check the full breakdown in case you need to avoid spoilers.

2 Years + 288,000 jelly beans = 1 awesome video

Now this is dedication! Instead of doing this video by CGI or taking on a less challenging concept, the artist, Kina Grannis, and director embarked on a 2 year long project to do a stop motion music video for her track "In Your Arms." Using over 288,000 jelly beans, the video shows various scenes of rain and snow, moutains, a journey down a vortex, and more.

It's an adorable song, made all the better by this amazing video! Watch the full video after the break.

Music Wednesday: I Believe in a Thing Called Love Cover by Panic! at the Disco

With all the Halloween excitement, I totally missed Music Monday! To remedy that, here's a sweet cover of The Darkness's "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" performed by Panic! at the Disco. While I haven't been keeping up to date on Panic!, I was a huge fan of theirs back in 2005 (to the point of annoying my roommate with my repeated listenings!) and am glad to see them still working.

Listen to the cover after the break.

Short Film: Trick R' Treat - Making Friends

One of my favorite recent horror flicks is TRICK R TREAT. You should definitely watch it on Netflix Instant tonight if you don't have any plans. Or check out any of the other films I recommended in my Queued Up piece on NapiersNews.com! 

TRICK R TREAT is a great horror anthology tracking a few stories in this one small town on All Hallow's Eve. Check out this great short from the director and then watch it on Instant!



[Via Badass Digest]

Happy Halloween!

Anyone dressed up at work today? What's the best costume you've seen this year?

Netflix Watch Instant: Halloween 2011 Edition

It's Halloween weekend and it's time to watch some scary movies! I just posted a great round up of films over on NapiersNews.com, so be sure to check them out. I also wanted to point out ONE more thing you should look into streaming:

The Vampire Diaries! 

Yep, my favorite current show is on Netflix Instant, both seasons 1 and 2. If you've got some time to kill - check out this teen supernatural soap. While it started off a bit too melodramatic and teen angst ridden, it has grown to be one of the best vampire entities around. I'd say this is better than True Blood because it doesn't rest on just sex scenes and shock value.

Check it out, you'll like it.

But if you swear it's not your thing, you can see all the other films on Netflix Instant that would make for perfect weekend viewing on NapiersNews.com

The Small Screen Podcast: Episode 8 (ONCE UPON A TIME, there were THE WALKING DEAD)

SNEAK PEEK: Watch the first 9 minutes of Once Upon a Time

There's one show left to premiere that I'm super excited - Once Upon a Time! While Jennifer Morrison still leaves a bad taste in my mouth thanks to her stint on How I Met Your Mother, the premise and talent behind the camera places this show right in my wheelhouse of entertainment.

While the show premieres on Sunday, October 23 on ABC, you can catch the first 9 minutes right here. Watch it after the break!

How BACK TO THE FUTURE Should Have Ended

Someone had the genius idea to mash up the worlds of BACK TO THE FUTURE and STAR WARS! I can't get over how awesome this would have been in the movie! Check out how BACK TO THE FUTURE should have ended after the break:

Watch it here and let me know which segment was your favorite. I think mine was the extremely close up interview!

Toast To THE Douchebag: Kanye West’s Greatest Songs

By Kevin Taylor

Kanye West is an asshole. There is no need to sugar coat it. He’s a douche bag, and I don’t like douche bags. I don’t like douchebags in real life. I don’t like douchebag drivers, athletes, actors, or singers. But I love Kanye West. It says a lot about his musical talents that I love him so much given his personality. So I decided to create a bracket.

I got the idea after reading a fantastic article, where this guy did a top 64 March Madness style bracket of Jay-Z songs. I’m a huge Kanye fan, so I thought it would be fun to do the same. Me and my buddy A-Rod met up and did our own brackets, and this article is about mine. Alittle background on the bracket before we get started.

We decided on 48 songs. We felt that 64 was too many considering how many songs Kanye has released, but we also thought that 32 was too few considering how many great songs he has. We settled on 48, with the top 4 seeds in each bracket getting a bye. The main drawback of this is that it gives most of Kanye's radio hits byes to the next round while his album songs duke it out early. But the more Kanye, the better. We then ranked the songs by the number of youtube views. Without further ado, here is the official Kanye West bracket.

Album Representation

The College Dropout: 8

Late Registration: 10

Graduation: 11

808s and Heartbreak: 5

My Dark Twisted Fantasy: 9

Watch The Throne: 5

We broke the brackets down by college year, since Kanye’s first few albums were named after college terms. We will start with the senior bracket.

Music Monday: Mind Your Manners by Chiddy Bang

Last week I saw Chiddy Bang and Lupe Fiasco at the Hollywood Palladium and I was really impressed with their show! I had seen Lupe Fiasco a couple times before, but this was his best performance yet. I wasn't too familiar with Chiddy Bang, but realized I had heard a couple of his tracks before. While you may know "Opposite of Adults", I really loved "Mind Your Manners." Watch the video below and check out my full show review on The Audio Perv.

The Small Screen Podcast: Episode 6 (The Schedule is a-changing!)

The fall TV schedule that is! We had some issues with filming this episode since I had a power outage when we were supposed to record originally, so sorry for the delay. Oh well, we finally were able to record and here's the latest! We talk about Glee, American Horror Story, Hart of Dixie, and all the renewal and cancellation news.

Trailer: THE AVENGERS kick butt!

OMG guys, this looks so good! I've been amped for this for who knows how long and just watch it already because it's awesome!

Music Monday: Hey Yeah by OutKast

Last week, VH1 had one of their great retrospectives - the Top 100 Songs of the 00s. My fiance and I love these types of shows and have watched all the I Love The 70s, 80s, and 90s as well as a ton of their other countdowns, so when this was announced we both picked what song we thought would be the tops. He picked "Yeah" by Usher, while I went with "Hey Yeah" by Outkast.

"Hey Yeah" is just such a fun, upbeat track that sticks in your head all day! Well, we watched the countdown and "Yeah" ended up being #27. Where did "Hey Yeah" fall?

Blast from the Past: THE PRINCESS BRIDE Reunion

One of my all-time favorite movies is THE PRINCESS BRIDE. It's just so quotable, romantic, funny, and I truly love everything about it.  It's crazy that this film is as old as I am! The cast reunited on Good Morning America to talk about filming and how fans still approach them about it today. What's your favorite quote?

I'm torn between "Have fun storming the castle!" and "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die."

Watch Carey Elwes, Robin Wright, Chris Sarandon, Wallace Shawn, Billy Crystal, and more after the break.

The ABCs of Death: T is for Trout!

I've been hearing a lot about the horror short film contest The ABCs of Death  and was pleasantly surprised to find out one of my college friends is in the contest to find the 26th director!

Watch the video and please vote for him!

T is for Trout from Daniel Johnson on Vimeo.

Method Man sells out: World Gone Sour Official Video

Method Man, known for smoking bowls in HOW HIGH and rapping with Red Man, has officially sold out to Sour Patch Kids. I find this video and whole thing hilarious! Watch the video and let me know what you think in the comments.

Music Monday: Someone Like You by Adele

This beautifully sad song has been in my head for weeks! Adele, you are amazing.

SNL Highlight: Arlene's sexual harrassment

Melissa McCarthy was a fearless and hilarous host on this past Saturday Night Live! She didn't always get the best material, but she was game for anything - including repeated falling down stairs and dousing herself in Ranch dressing. While those big gaffs were funny, I felt the sketches relied on too one-note a joke to make it into this week's highlight posts.

However, Melissa's Arlene was hilarious not only for her performance and comittment to the joke, but also for the somewhat surprising turn with Bill Hader. Check it out after the break, and let me know which sketch was your favorite in the comments!

NoNo Cat doesn't like children

Happy weekend! Check out this Maine Coon freak out at the presence of a small child.
