Between bands like Duran Duran, Guns N’ Roses, New Edition, and many more, the 1980s became one of the most memorable eras within the medium of music. While the vocalists themselves were temporarily honored with bedroom posters and magazine clippings at the epitome of their popularity, the albums they released will forever hold a place not only in fans’ minds but also in history.

Just between the aforementioned groups, many accomplishments include a plaque on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and over thirty various accolades in the industry. While it is quite a time-honored tradition to give out awards and nominations to those musical icons who have strived for success, a new documentary being shown at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival will highlight an infamous duo who also achieved greatness during that era but also shortly thereafter, stepped into one of the quickest downfalls ever seen.

As the Hollywood blockbuster machine continues to dust itself off and release some early winter hits, Hulu is going in a bit of a different direction with its list of new releases for November 2021.

There are no big Hulu original films of note this month. Instead there’s a whole host of original series. The TV parade starts on Nov. 5 with the release of Animaniacs season 2. Also getting a second season this month is monarchal comedy The Great on Nov. 19. The most intriguing series, however, is animated Marvel comedy Marvel’s Hit Monkey. As its name so graciously implies, this is a show about a hit monkey…as in monkey assassin. Naturally the hit monkey is haunted by the ghost of Jason Sudeikis because it’s important that everything make sense.

Though Hulu doesn’t have any original movies in November, its list of library movie titles is quite vast.

"Can't stop now, it's the role of a lifetime." Vertical Ent. has released an official trailer for an indie comedy titled Playing God, a film from writer / director Scott Brignac. It's debuting in August despite not showing up at any festivals before. A brother & sister con-artist duo find themselves scamming a grieving billionaire by convincing him they can introduce him to God, face-to-face. They recruit their mentor, and together the three of them attempt the biggest con of their lives. The film stars Hannah Kasulka & Luke Benward as the con siblings, also joined by Michael McKean, Jude Demorest, Marc Menchaca, plus Alan Tudyk. This actually looks like a great heist film, might be an undiscovered gem. Especially with the tease when he finally sits down with "God" - yeah this film seems much more clever and grand than I was expecting at first. Here's the official trailer (+ posters) for Scott Brignac's Playing God,...
