Reginald the Vampire Is Here for a Good Time: Review
The Pitch: Lonely, unfulfilled, and too insecure to tell his cute Slushie Shack co-worker, Sarah (Em Haine) that he’s into her, Reginald Andres (Jacob Batalon) is coasting through his twenties terminally disappointed with where his life has taken him. But while taking out the Slushie Shack trash at the end of one particularly long shift, Reginald stumbles into a hypnotic new friendship with a smooth operator named Maurice (Mandela Van Peebles), and everything changes. Overnight, and at the most inconvenient moment imaginable, Reginald finds he’s been turned into a member of the undead. This proves to be problematic for more reasons than just can’t go out in the sun, have to drink blood to survive — in Reginald the Vampire’s world, creatures of the night are vain, status-obsessed perfection...
NNAMDÏ’s Not Weird — He’s Wonderfully, Amazingly, Authentically Himself
On Friday (October 7th), pop experimentalist extraordinaire NNAMDÏ will unleash his newest album, Please Have A Seat. The record, his debut for Secretly Canadian, features some of his poppiest, most ear-worm tunes to date while remaining within the weird, outsider approach NNAMDÏ has become known for. But, is it really that weird? For years NNAMDÏ himself would say so, prefacing his music with a quick “it’s kind of weird” whenever sharing it. He even named his 2014 release Feckin Weirdo, and the branding stuck. The word would pop up in interviews and reviews, following the Chicago artist as he continued to make art that was true to himself. “It was kind of like, not a palate cleanser, but something preemptively being like, ‘Okay, it’s weird,’” he tells Consequence. “Just so they go in and ...
‘The Masked Singer’ Has a Very Brady Reveal: Watch
The Masked Singer is well and truly hitting its groove, with another bunch of celebrities unmasked and sent home Wednesday night (Oct. 5). Episode 3 was “TV Theme Night.” And there was twice the fun, with a double hit of reveals. The first act sent home, the Mummies, were nothing short of “TV royalty,” in the words of host Nick Cannon. Status doesn’t count here. After performing the theme from The Monkees, the Mummies unraveled with the viewers at home. It wasn’t just one Mummy, it was a Brady Bunch. The ancient trio was none other than the Mike Lookinland, Barry Williams and Christopher Knight — better known as brothers Bobby, Greg and Peter of 1960s and ‘70s sitcom The Brady Bunch. Nicole Scherzinger guessed right. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, cha...
