Dan Mace At The Top Of His Game With His Most Creative Smash-hit ‘The Bru Show’

Released in 2022, ‘The Bru Show’ by Dan Mace is currently streaming on Discovery+ and has garnered a huge round of applause by the audience and critics a like. In the first episode of the show, Dan attempts to turn a box truck into a giant drivable camera to capture the beauty of Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa. In the second, he creates the wildest daily vlog you’ve ever seen with a 16mm Cinema film camera. And in the third he makes a film with 100 people from all over the world. The ideas just get crazier and more entertaining from there.

In recent years, Dan’s YouTube channel has grown to over 770,000 subscribers and currently has over 35 million views. Dan is an award-winning filmmaker, YouTuber, and founder of JOE Films. His bio states that over his 10-year career in the industry, he has directed over 100 commercials, music videos, documentaries, and short films across four continents.

“I’ve decided to pour every ounce of creativity, combined with a hell of a lot of planning, and develop a twelve-part show. The final chapter, if you will.”, Dan explains in his video ‘The beginning of the end’. 

“In this show, I do everything I’ve always wanted to try. Everything I’ve never had the resources or time to attempt. Everything that’s now been made possible by partnering with discovery+. I really want to go out with a bang”, asserts Dan. His partnership has allowed him to merge the creative freedom of YouTube with the production quality of more commercial media to bring the audience the best of both worlds.

Dan is also challenging the mainstream by releasing each episode of ‘The Bru Show’ on his own YouTube channel just a few weeks after its launch on discovery+, allowing anyone to enjoy the show even if discovery+ isn’t available to them. Big-name YouTube stars like Logan Paul and Casey Neistat – who recently released a documentary on influencer David Dobrik – also appear throughout the episodes.

‘With YouTube I started this thing called a ‘Bru Community’. It’s a term here in South Africa for a like minded friend. […] If I wanted to leave something behind, I would want to leave a community of people that think a certain way. I think creativity is the ability to create long-term conversations with people that stick with them forever, and that helps people to grow and to believe in themselves’, says Dan.

‘The Bru Show’ is actually the third season of Dan Mace’s YouTube series “Not Normal”, which saw him travelling the world to help others complete their ideas. The show ramped up the collaborative relationship between YouTube creators and viewers, really securing a sense of community in his audience.

Dan has also received various accolades for his work including three Young Director Awards at Cannes Lions, an African Cristal Film Grand Prix, Bronze Loerie Awards, Ciclope Africa Editing Craft awards, and Creative Circle ad of the month, amongst others.

Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby Comes Together Again in the Upcoming Show “Our Flag Means Death”

Two personalities from New Zealand, Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby, are about to sail their ships.

In a new trailer for HBO Max’s comedy series set in the 18th century, the two actors ride the tide and follow a pirate story, “Our Flag Means Death.” 

The tale circulates the journey of a real-life nobleman named Stede Bonnet, who left his wife and family to attempt piracy but soon saw the struggles behind running an entire ship as captain.

When the “Gentleman Pirate” encounters mutiny, wreckage, and a knife-wielding Leslie Jones, his best mate may be none other than the notorious Blackbeard himself, played by Waititi. 

The “Gentleman Pirate,” as he is called, encounters mutiny, wreckage, and a knife-wielding Leslie Jones. He, however, gains a surprising ally: the infamous Blackbeard, played by Waititi. 

The new trailer teases “Our Flag Means Death” as the type of comical duo Darby and Waititi are distinguished: they are friends and associates for a long time now, teaming up on several shows, including “Flight of the Conchords,” and movies such as “What We Do in the Shadows.” 

“They are like an old married couple in certain ways,” said filmmaker David Jenkins in an interview. “If a scene isn’t quite working, Taika will be able to grumble about Rhys, and vice versa, in the way that only friends can. And then, when it is popping, they know how to get the best out of each other. There’s a generosity and a real sweetness between them that you wouldn’t get if you weren’t using those two friends.”

The show “Our Flag Means Death” will pilot on March 3, and it is set in a post-apocalyptic world where people still remember their old flags. The cast includes  Jones, Nathan Foad, Samson Kayo, Vico Ortiz, Ewen Bremner, Joel Fry, Matt Maher, Kristian Nairn, Con O’Neill, Guz Khan, David Fane, Rory Kinnear, Samba Schutte, Nat Faxon, and Fred Armisen.

“The Batman” Director Matt Reeves is Looking to Expand “Bat-verse”

With the upcoming installment of “The Batman,” American filmmaker Matt Reeves wants to create a new ‘Bat-verse’ as an offshoot of this world he has materialized.

The film follows Dark Knight’s second year – portrayed by Robert Pattinson – a murder mystery that involves familiar characters from the canon: the Riddler (played by Paul Dano), a serial killer that preys on Gotham’s corrupt aristocrats; Selene Kyle (portrayed by Zoë Kravitz), who will later set off as Catwoman; and the Penguin (played by Colin Farrell), aka Oswald Cobblepot, who is just a mid-tier mob lieutenant in the film and has not even reached a good enough villain achievement. 

“The Batman” was created as a separate entity from DC’s already existing universe (DCEU); director Reeves has been thinking of ways to expand this outside cinema screens.

Two new series set in the iconic Batman universe have been announced, one being a police drama for Gotham City. The other follows Penguin’s rise to power. It will be executive produced by Reeves himself. 

“What I really wanted this movie to do is create a Batverse,” Reeves told a media outlet. “You don’t do a story and go, ‘This is Chapter 1’ because you might not get to do Chapter 2. So, the story had to stand on its own. But the thing about it is that the Bat world is so rich with character that as you’re starting to come to an end, you can already start thinking about the next thing. Because the idea, of course, is that Gotham’s story never ends.” 

According to Reeves, the Penguin show popped out of the discussions with HBO Max, which wanted more than sideline characters from the film. 

“I was thrilled by that,” Reeves says. “I said [to HBO Max], ‘To be honest with you, the thing that was going to be the seeds of what I thought the next story could be in terms of the Penguin is that I saw there being this kind of ‘American dream in Gotham’ sort of story, almost like “Scarface;” the rise of this character who we all know will achieve mythic status.’ He is underestimated, and he’s like a time bomb … They were like, ‘Oh my God, we’re in!’ And that was really exciting because, by that point, Colin had already given life to this character.”

We can’t wait to see what these projects have in store for us. From the sounds of it, they are going to be pretty interesting.

“The Batman” will premiere on March 4.

‘Sherri’ Set to Replace ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ This Fall

Photo: The Associated Press

“Sherri,” hosted by Sherri Shepherd, is set to replace “The Wendy Williams Show” this fall following Williams’ prolonged health-related absence, Shepherd confirmed Tuesday. Shepherd is the producer of both TV programs.

Producer and distributor Debmar-Mercury said that the new daytime show “Sherri” will take over “The Wendy Williams Show” on Fox owned-and-operated stations that have aired Williams’ talk show since 2008.

“Since Wendy is still not available to host the show as she continues on her road to recovery, we believe it is best for our fans, stations and advertising partners to start making this transition now,” Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein, the company’s co-presidents, said in a statement.

“We hope to be able to work with Wendy again in the future, and continue to wish her a speedy and full recovery,” the two executives said. They added that they have “great love and affinity for Wendy” and admire her success.

There was no further comment on Williams’ recent health issues, a topic that Williams herself has not discussed outside of general information.

Williams’ spokesman Howard Bragman explained in a statement that it has been a “challenging time” for the media personality as she deals with her health. Bragman also stated that Williams is grateful to Debmar-Mercury, Shepherd, and other supporters of her show.

Bragman continued that Williams knows “the reality of syndicated television — you can’t go to the marketplace and sell a show that’s the ‘Maybe Wendy Show.” He added that he understands the decision from a “business point of view.”

As in the company’s statement, Bragman said that Williams has been assured to be “back on TV” if her health rebounds. 

The stability represented by Shepherd as she takes over Williams’ time slot is essential as changes in daytime TV near, according to Debmar-Mercury. “The Ellen Degeneres Talk Show” is also set to end this season, which leaves its viewers to search for alternatives over the fall, including Drew Barrymore and Kelly Clarkson-hosted shows and another one led by Jennifer Hudson.

In a statement, Shepherd, an actor-comedian and a former co-host of “The View,” said she is excited to “have my dream come true” and to debut her very own talk show. She said that “Sherri” will be a blend of her love for “pop culture, talk, entertainment and comedy.”

Shepherd had also been one of the guest hosts on “The Wendy Williams Show” when the talk show began to rely on a string of guest hosts at the start of its 13th year last fall. It was built on Williams’ popularity as a bold radio host, and it has been a success for Lionsgate-owned Debmar-Mercury.

The show’s ratings held up during Shepherd’s appearances, and Debmar-Mercury deemed her fit to take over Williams as she proved to be the most popular sub on the show. Production of “The Wendy Williams Show” will continue through the current season. It will feature Shepherd and other rotating fill-in hosts.

Frank Cicha, an executive vice president of Fox Television stations, said that Shepherd is the “perfect choice” to have a show of her own. He added that she has already proven her appeal to the Fox audience, and he also thanked Debmar-Mercury for going through “an extremely trying situation.”

Shepherd will remain as a co-host on Fox TV stations’ “Dish Nation.” She previously appeared on “The View” before becoming a co-host from 2007-2014. From the start of her entertainment career, Shepherd has acted in various TV programs, including “The Jamie Foxx Show,” “Everybody Loves Raymond,” “30 Rock,” and, recently, “The Sex Lives of College Girls.” Shepherd has also made a mark in movies with “Beauty Shop” and “Who’s Your Caddy?”

She will co-produce “Sherri” alongside producing partner Jawn Murray and David Perler. Perler has also previously worked in all but one season of “The Wendy Williams Show.”

Williams’ ‘break from New York’

Williams last taped her show with the wrap of season 12 in July 2021. The show explained that production on the current season saw some delays last September because of Williams’ “breakthrough” case of COVID-19. However, her continuing absence afterward was not explained.

It wasn’t until 2017 that Williams’ health intruded on her TV work. She fainted during the show and took leave for three weeks. In 2018, Williams said that she had previously been diagnosed with Graves’ disease, an autoimmune condition affecting the thyroid.

Not one to shy away from being blunt, Williams also said that her longtime cocaine use that began in college turned her into a “functioning addict” before she managed to stop. However, on a March 2019 episode of “The Wendy Williams Show,” Williams tearfully explained that she was living “in a sober house” and had a 24/7 sobriety coach. She no longer specified why.

In a video posted last week, Williams is spotted strolling on a beach in Florida. An off-screen interviewer, whom she identifies as her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., asks how she’s doing and what her activities are, including plans to go to the gym.

William replies in the video that while she’s taking “a break from New York” – the filming site for the show – she will be coming back “stronger.” She also vaguely referred to “things that happen to you” at around the age of 40 and that “they go on from there.”

Questions arose regarding some of Williams’ references in the clip, such as stating that she is 56 when she is 57. Williams’ spokeswoman clarified that she merely misspoke.

Bosco Says Kerri Colby and Kornbread Played a Huge Role in Her Coming Out

RuPaul’s Drag Race star Bosco has revealed herself as Seattle’s “demon queen.” In coming out on an Instagram post on February 11, the drag performer placed herself with Kerri Colby and Kornbread’ The Snack’ Jeté, one of season 14’s trio pioneering for transgender rights. The three continue to represent how much work needs to be done in establishing queer equality. 

Bosco talked about how her companionship with Kerri and Kornbread helped strengthen her confidence in revealing herself to be trans in an interview. In addition, she spoke out about the struggles that trans people continue to undergo. 

When asked about how her life has been affected by her recent announcement – coming out – she replied, “It’s been lovely. Somebody described it as “taking the plunge,” which felt accurate. I’ve been fortunate; I’ve been out since the summer in Seattle, which lives in its own bubble. It never came up nationally. It would feel weird to not talk about it at this point, so I was grateful for the reaction.”

When asked about her identity, she said that it was apparent that she was always “gender-fluid” at a young age. “I was afraid of my family’s reaction if I wanted to pursue things further,” she continued. 

She had to think things through before deciding on her next step. However, right now, with the support she’s receiving, she told herself, “I can do this.” 

Talking about financial instability and anxiety over acceptance, she says, “It felt important to me to highlight that being a trans person, even in this time of extreme visibility, is really f——ing hard. I’m crazy privileged to have this queer platform and be known to the queer community in a way that allows me to feel safe, but I have so many trans women and trans men as friends who don’t get to navigate their life with the power that’s RuPaul’s Drag Race helping them. It felt necessary to talk about that. It’s fun for pop culture to look at it as this beautiful swan tale, but for a lot of people, it’s bumpy, scary, and financially perilous.”

Though Kornbread and Bosco didn’t come out during this season, they have planned to reveal their identity within the year of concluding the show. She then added, “Kerri and Kornbread’s presence helped center me. They’re really cool people.”

Adam Scott Stars in the New Series Severance

Adam Scott has been patiently waiting for almost four years to get a lead role in “Severance.” He never thought that he would ever be given the opportunity, but it looks like his time has come.

“I just figured, somewhere along the line, someone else is going to want to do this, and this is going to slip away from me,” the comedian said in an interview. “All along, I was hoping that I would get to be part of it. It sounds corny, but it really is the kind of role I’ve been waiting my whole career for.” 

“Severance” premieres on Friday on Apple TV+, where Scott plays a rare and chunky, leading-man role, portraying a sorrowful and office-drone protagonist, Mark. 

“I couldn’t stop thinking about it,” Scott says, recounting the moment he first heard about the project. “It’s just a fun, hooky idea, but then there are all of the possible implications of it, which is what made me continue to come back to the idea.”

“Severance” is a movie about an office where employees are set apart by their work life and personal lives. The characters have 8 hour periods without knowing what goes on outside that period. While their “innies” – what the employees inside work are called – continue to complete their tasks, the “outies” – the one from outside the company – does not know what’s going on in the job; therefore, there are no risks of taking their work home with them. 

While it indeed sounds ideal, the implications are pretty alarming and stimulating. In Mark’s case, he underwent this process following his wife’s death in an automobile accident, striking his family as an unhealthy way to cope with his grief. 

“Mark has made a conscious decision to not move on from it,” Scott revealed. “He doesn’t want to heal because I think healing would mean saying goodbye forever, right? So rather than sit in it and feel it, he’d rather just switch off for eight to ten hours a day.” 

In 2017 (January), Scott recounts that he was initially attached to “Severance.” Then, at the Sundance Film Festival in the middle of “standing in the snow,” he got a call from Ben Stiller, who had read the pilot script by Dan Erickson. 

When he read the script, Stiller knew that Scott was just what they needed to make their show a success. So, Scott’s doubt was not necessary.
