On May 31, 2019, Amazon Prime releases its newest streaming series, Good Omens. The six episode, limited series is based on Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the 1990 novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

Sadly, Pratchett passed away in 2015 but we have Gaiman keeping a close watch on the beloved shared work, penning the screenplay for all six episodes and serving as showrunner. Behind the camera, popular British television director, Douglas Mackinnon (Doctor Who, Knightfall, Outlander), directed all six episodes. The large ensemble cast is led by David Tennant and Michael Sheen, with countless celebrities pitching in recurring and regular roles, including Jon Hamm, Michael McKean, Miranda Richardson, Adria Arjona, Brian Cox, Benedict Cumberbatch, Sam Taylor Buck, Jack Whitehall, and Nick Offerman.

Awesome Con 2019: The Princess Bride – Q&A Panel

The Princess Bride Q&A Panel
Awesome Con 2019
April 27, 2019

Awesome Con 2019 featured a number of reunion panels that would make any Gen Xer squee with joy but having Cary Elwes and Chris Sarandon come together to talk The Princess Bride was simply delightful!

Elwes and Sarandon were as humble and as likable as you would imagine them to be during The Princess Bride Q&A Panel. After coming out on stage, and taking in the crowd, Elwes said, “this is bonkers.”  And he’s not wrong.  The room was chock-a-block with fans, evident when the co-stars of the 32-year-old movie earned raucous applause. The dedicated fan base was excited to see them and celebrate them and this beloved movie.

Radio City Music Hall

When Ticketmaster sends you an alert that THE Tony Bennett is performing in your town, you run right out to catch that performance, no questions asked. Mr. Bennett was coming home to New York and we were going to be there for it! Our reward was that we got to spend an evening with an American icon and were treated to the most charming of evenings.

Spoilers, this evening was a pure delight from start to finish. If nothing else, Mr. Bennett is so genuine in his passion for his music and his desire to make sure the audience is enjoying themselves. And enjoy ourselves, we did.
