Legitimacy goes a long way when telling a story. Whether the tale being told is grounded or just plain tall, it is much more impacting and engaging when they involve tangible elements. Even far-fetched ideas like teleportation and space battles can feel real when they are based on, well, real things. While no one has figured out how to open a worm hole (that we know of anyway), the idea that a team of Special Missions Unit operators can warp to any point on Earth to deal with conflicts or terrorism can seem unbelievable.

Interview…Nolan Gould on ‘The Liars of Black Mountain Road’

The main and most obvious reason for it is that we are often times treated to fun or interesting stories of creative struggles/triumphs. Those behind-the-scenes looks at how the tiniest decisions contribute to the whole are inspiring on a number of levels.

Interview…Oded Fehr Faces Fierce Fuzzy Frights in ‘Grizzly Night’
If you go down in the woods today, as the saying goes, you’re sure of a surprise. And that surprise comes in the form of a 9 foot tall brown bear. Suffice to say, staring down this fuzzy wuzzy is enough to make your hair stand up. All of them. And that is why Grizzly Night succeeds; it’s tale of just how scary nature can be, and in a true story no less. Oded Fehr is one of the stars in Burke Doeren’s film and it’s good role for him (even if he doesn’t have a majority of screen time). Playing a doctor on vacation with his family, he joins…

Exclusive First Listen: Michael Abels and Robert Wallace’s Bring Suburban Normalcy and Creeping Paranoia To ‘The ‘Burbs’
Today, we’re thrilled, delighted and super excited to exclusively premiere the main title track taken from The’ Burbs—Original Series Soundtrack with an original score by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Michael Abels (Get Out, Nope), and composer Robert Wallace (The Acolyte). Abels’ and Wallace’s lively score is both mischievous in accentuating the comic moments, and joltingly sinister when the tone of the series turns dark. Peacock will debut all eight episodes of their Original Series on Sunday, February 8 and Lakeshore Records is set to release The’ Burbs—Original Series Soundtrack digitally on February 6. Sometimes you just have a feeling that something is going to be good. Call it a sixth sense, but I think it’s an intuition…
