Based on the ESPN 30 FOR 30 documentary podcast THE STERLING AFFAIRS, the six-part miniseries CLIPPED chronicles the 2013-2014 debacle surrounding the Clippers basketball team. This resulted in the Clippers’ then-owner being banned for life from the NBA. The first two episodes premiere on FX on Hulu on Tuesday, June 4, with subsequent episodes dropping on consecutive Tuesdays.

Truman Capote was an author, screenwriter, playwright, and actor probably still most known for his nonfiction bestseller IN COLD BLOOD. The novel itself has been adapted for film, and several films were made about Capote’s writing of the book and the lingering effect it had on him. But Capote is also famous for, among other things, his unfinished novel ANSWERED PRAYERS. Capote had entered a charmed circle of New York society women, whom he collectively called “the Swans.” These women included Jacqueline Onassis’s sister Lee Radziwill and Babe Paley. Capote kept putting off finishing the work, but sold four chapters […]Read On »

CANDYMAN has a long history, both on and offscreen. Originally a short story by Clive Barker, “The Forbidden” was adapted into the 1992 movie CANDYMAN by writer/director Bernard Rose. Rose moved the story from Barker’s London to Chicago’s then-infamous Cabrini-Green low-income housing projects. Here, it was learned that Daniel Robitaille (played by Tony Todd), a Black man murdered in the 1800s by a white mob, had become the hook-handed spirit Candyman. Anyone who says his name five times into a mirror invokes a visitation and very bloody consequences. The original CANDYMAN film had Candyman kidnapping a Black infant, who was […]Read On »

Unlike the abruptly pulled-from-release THE HUNT, though, it’s unlikely anybody is going to worry about READY OR NOT making some kind of political statement.
