If there’s one thing every sporting event needs, it’s a strong playlist. And if you’re here, it means you’re looking for the one from “Running Point.”

Now streaming on Netflix, the series centers on Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson), who unexpectedly becomes president of the Los Angeles Waves basketball team, which her family has owned for decades. She’s the first female president in franchise history, and obviously, there’s a whole lot of pressure that comes with that.

But if you’re here, you know that. What you’re looking for are the tracklists for each episode. And you can absolutely find those, below!

Episode 1 “California Love” by Tupac “That Sound” by Ohmega Watts “You Are My Love” by Kasoma (Feat. Redwood) “Love Survive” by Michael Nau “Hello” by LiTTie x The Mondays Episode 2 “Falling in Love” by Bobby Oroza “Right Here Right Now” by Teeyz...

Kate Hudson helms Running Point, the latest show from Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen as Isla Gordon, an underdog of sorts. She’s the only daughter of Jack Gordon, who had several other sons including Cam (Justin Theroux), Ness (Scott MacArthur) and their half brother Sandy (Drew Tarver).

Isla and her best friend Ali Lee (Brenda Song) are set to make waves (no pun intended) within the professional basketball franchise the Los Angeles Waves, when Isla gets promoted to president of the team. She has all sorts of upstream swimming to do in the role as her brothers doubt her capabilities and the players don’t exactly take her seriously, but she has many tricks up her sleeve, and she has been paying attention to the game since she was a little girl.

Several needle drops accompany big moments in the show, from Tupac’s “California Love” opening...

While Younger was just a little TV series that started on TV Land, it blew up to become hugely popular thanks to the pretty stellar Younger cast. Foster stars as Liza Miller, a 40-year-old divorcee who realizes she can pass off as a 20-something woman and lies about her age to get a job in the publishing industry. She then makes new friends but has to keep lying about her age to protect her job. Some actors have been in the business for decades, and some have lengthy resumes in the theater world.

Hilary Duff may have been the most recognizable name in the cast. Still, fans might recognize other cast members from projects they have been in, with Foster in the lead role and names like Debi Mazar and Miriam Shor in key supporting roles. Many of the Younger cast members have also already gone on to star in other projects,...

Warning: This article contains Major Spoilers in It's What's Inside.Netflix's It's What's Inside includes an interesting soundtrack featuring predominantly instrumental music that helps add tension and shape the plot. The comedy-horror movie follows a group of friends who play a body-swapping game that leads to deadly consequences. After its strong debut, Netflix quickly snatched up the expensive Sundance movie, adding the title to its catalog of exclusive content.

It's What's Inside has gone over well with critics, gaining an impressive 77% score on Rotten Tomatoes before its Netflix debut. Many factors contribute to the movie's success, including the cinematography, the color palette, and the fun premise. Many critics have praised It's What's Inside's engaging characters, who are both flawed and interesting. However, one of the most underappreciated parts of the movie is the fantastic soundtrack. Rather than relying on a score, this movie uses compelling instrumental songs and a...

On Saturday August 3 2024, Fyi broadcasts Andrew Zimmern’s Wild Game Kitchen!

For a horror fan, the month of October is naturally designated for everything related to Halloween. So this month’s installment of Deep Cuts Rising features a variety of horror movies that take place on or around October 31st. As usual, though, these selections can generally be considered overlooked, forgotten or unknown.

This month’s Halloween-themed offerings include zombies, witchcraft, killers, and more.

The Midnight Hour (1985)

Image: The Midnight Club (1985)

Directed by Jack Bender.

The Midnight Hour is a great warm-up for the Halloween season, right before diving into heavier or scarier movies. This telefilm originally aired on ABC, then later showed up on cable. While it didn’t open to rave reviews, it has certainly found an audience over the years. The plot is simple enough: teens fool around with magic and accidentally raise an evil sorceress on Halloween. As the night goes on, the town is taken over by ghouls and monsters.

Tim McGraw will release two deluxe versions of his 2020 album Here on Earth, expanded with new songs and music videos. Here on Earth Ultimate Edition and Ultimate Video Edition will be available April 16th and both include the previously unreleased song “God Moves the Pen.”

The Ultimate Edition of Here on Earth features six new tracks, including the Tyler Hubbard collaboration “Undivided” and “God Moves the Pen.” McGraw’s film soundtrack songs “Keep Your Eyes on Me” with Faith Hill (from The Shack) and “Gravity” (from Free Solo) have also been added as a bonus.

One of the strangest Hollywood franchises ever is the Sister Act series, starring Whoopi Goldberg as Deloris Wilson, a lounge singer turned nun who helps a convent become popular through rollicking renditions of classic hymns. Last year it was confirmed that a third film in the franchise was in development for Disney+ with Goldberg set to return to star and Tyler Perry serving as producer. Kathy Najimy, who featured in both the previous Sister Act movies as the always cheerful Sister Mary Patrick, recently confirmed that Sister Act 3 is still in the earliest stages of getting made.

"[Whoopi's] trying to get that going. I, you know why I like that, no hair, no makeup, no spanks, comfortable shoes. It's a win win for me."

While the first Sister Act was a huge, surprise hit, the sequel was not as well-received. The franchise found a second life on stage through a broadway adaptation.

For a long time, Tim McGraw thought he could benefit from taking six months off. Even before music became his career, he had always had a job; when country stardom took over, his workload only increased. He was perpetually on the road, supporting his albums and hits like “My Best Friend,” “I Like It, I Love It,” and “Real Good Man.” But when 2020 and the pandemic set in, he was forced to test out his theory.

“I was sort of like, alright, I’m getting a year off without realizing it,...

Tim McGraw has announced plans for his new album Here on Earth, his first solo release in nearly five years. The project, which reunites him with previous label home Big Machine, is due out August 21st and includes the soaring title track, released on Friday.

It’s true: Younger actresses always get the good parts.

Such was the case earlier this year, when A Million Little Things was looking to cast the role of Chloe. Viewers had been told that the character was engaged to Jason Ritter’s Eric but had died in the same accident that left him in need of a heart transplant. Chloe owned a music shop on Beacon Hill in Boston; Eric has been running the business since her death.

Back in 2015, James Roday directed the restaurant-set horror comedy Gravy, co-starring Jimmi Simpson, and for the March installment of Blumhouse's Into the Dark anthology series, Roday is re-teaming with Simpson for Treehouse, which is featured in a chilling new trailer.

The “Bob’s Burgers Music Album” is coming your way May 12, and it’s loaded up with more goodies than a Poutine on the Ritz Burger.

This is not the time to be modern and go the digital route for your music. Hell, even buying the CDs isn’t old-school enough. Instead, if you buy the the “Bob’s Burgers Music Album” deluxe limited-edition gift box, that comes with three LPs (in “condiment-colored” vinyl?!), a Bob’s Buskers seven-inch white vinyl LP, a hardbound lyric book (for those times you need to know more than just “Butts, Butts, Butts”), a sheet music collection, three original posters and a lot more. What is “more” you ask? Take a look at the unboxing video below featuring Teddy’s hairy arms and mumbly narration to see everything:

Of course, the two-cd album is still chockfull of “Bob’s Burgers” audio goodness, which amounts to 107 songs.

Animals live among us, often with us, some despite our interference in their habitats. They’re independent organisms that are often subject to our rules. This is especially true when it comes to television.

How we use and portray animals on TV perhaps reveals more about ourselves than the qualities they contain. Are they brought in to round out a nuclear TV family, or do they have greater narrative significance? Do they have personalities or are they plot devices that advance the story, and then forgotten? Do characters regard them with any real feeling?

IndieWire examined how the animal kingdom fared on our screens this year from a storytelling point of view, and determined which portrayals were the most significant. Because of this narrative aspect, we focused on two types: fictional animals whose characters were created for the purpose of the show, and non-speaking animals.

For the first week of October, genre fans should get those wallets ready because there are seemingly endless horror and sci-fi movies being released on both DVD and Blu-ray.

Sony Pictures has also put together a stellar new release of Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Kino Lorber is showing the cult classic Burnt Offerings some love this week, too.

Other notable titles arriving on October 6th include We Are Still Here, Final Girl, Fire City: End of Days, Children of the Night, June, Pod, Cop Car, Alleluia, Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! and the second season of Penny Dreadful.

Just about a year ago we heard James Roday from "Psych" was directing a horror comedy called Gravy, and that was it... until now. The Sixth Annual Friars Club Comedy Film Festival is opening with the world premiere of the film on April 1st. And no, it's not an April Fool's joke.

There are a few other horror projects like Borgman and Witching and Bitching scattered among the films screening during the Fccff's April 1-5 run, as well as a new one from renowned animator Bill Plympton, so if you're in or near NYC, check out the lineup below.

This week on the couch we have James Roday and Jimmi Simpson watching The Cat o' Nine Tails. James is best known as Shawn Spencer on Psych, which recently wrapped up its eight-year run. He just finished his feature directorial debut, a horror-comedy called Gravy. Jimmi is best known as "that guy who you've seen in everything." Some of his recent projects include House of Cards, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Knights of Badassdom.   The Cat o' Nine Tails was only the second film directed by horror auteur Dario Argento. A rather straightforward crime thriller starring Karl Malden as a blind journalist, Cat o' Nine Tails is considered a giallo film, a sort of stylized Italian mystery film that takes its name from the cheap pulp mystery novels of the first half of the 20th century. "Giallo" is Italian for "yellow," and pulp paperbacks originally used cheap, yellow covers.

Bromance is out, romance in. With USA dramedy Psych wrapping its eight-season run this month, star James Roday has set his followup series project, signing on as the male lead of CBS’ single-camera comedy pilot Good Session. Written by John Hamburg and Matt Miller and directed by Hamburg, the project revolves around a happy couple, Joel (Roday) and Lindsay, who go to a therapist to help them decide if they should have a baby but quickly discover they have more to discuss. Roday’s Joel is a dedicated middle-school guidance counselor who thinks his marriage to Lindsay (Tbd), a jet-setting executive, is a happy one — but when they disagree about whether the time is right to start a family, they begin the painful, funny, embarrassing and, ultimately, rewarding, road of couples counseling. For the past eight years on Psych, Roday played faux psychic detective Shawn Spencer who, with the help...
