Another fine edition of What’s Hot! As the subject line says, there will be spoilers in this post, so click at your own risk!
New releases out this week on DVD include the box office flop Speed Racer (with Matthew Fox and Christina Ricci) and the 25th anniversary edition of Risky Business, the movie that propelled Tom Cruise into the spotlight and inspired millions into dancing to “Old Time Rock and Roll” while wearing their tighty whitey’s and Ray Bans. On the television side of the DVD aisle we have some good picks. There is the first seasons of Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money and this bloggers favorite Chuck (if you like spies, comedy and eye candy [hello Adam Baldwin and Zachary Levi] then Chuck is for you). Also coming out is the second season of the Doctor Who spinoff, Torchwood. The season finale of this season had your entrepid blogger crying like a baby.
Santa is going to be very good to Stephen Colbert this year. Comedy Central announced yesterday that the comedian will be hosting his own Christmas special. The musical special will feature John Legend, Elvis Costello, Toby Keith, Willie Nelson and Feist. Joining Colbert for a duet will be Daily show host Jon Stewart. The one hour special will air on November 23.
Michael Ausiello gives us Supernatural spoilers straight from producer’s Eric Kripke’s mouth. In midseason there will be an episode titled “Afterschool Special” that is going to feature a haunting of one of the high schools Sam and Dean attended. “As they investigate, we’ll see flashbacks to what high school was like for Sam and Dean.” Teen Winchesters! Sounds like it could be fun. Not so says Kripke “It wasn’t pretty.” But first, Dean needs to get out of hell. Tune in Thursday for the Supernatural premiere to see how that’s going to happen.
More news and gossip tomorrow!
