Spike Lee's newest film isn't getting a huge theatrical release (it's on a handful of screens), but you can catch it on your TV right now. Check for IFC ON DEMAND from your local cable provider's Video On Demand service. Should be around $6 to watch this AMAZING concert film that not only captures the fantastic Broadway Musical, but pumps up the energy with stunning editing and camera work. Don't miss it...

BEWARE OF THE BABYLON
The John Hughes Tributecast


The new podcast is something a little different. As you loyal listeners know, Rachel and Todd were heavily influenced by the films of filmmaker John Hughes. His passing comes as a complete shock to us, but we wanted to share with you an audio memory of the moments and the music that shaped his films.

This is hardly a definitive collection, but we hope it serves as a tribute to the man that so many of our generation related to, laughed with and learned from.

Complete list of songs appearing in the show, and movies they came from:

SIXTEEN CANDLES
• Kajagoogoo - Kajagoogoo
• If You Were Here - Thompson Twins

THE BREAKFAST CLUB
• Don't You Forget About Me - Simple Minds

WEIRD SCIENCE
• Tenderness - General Public

PRETTY IN PINK
• Positively Lost Me - The Rave Ups
• Thieves Like Us - New Order

FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF
• Please Let Me Get What I Want - The Dream Academy

SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL

Make no mistake, Mad Men is one of the best shows on television since The Sopranos advised us not to stop believing.

Even if you've never seen one single episode of the show, I advise you to download the free short compilation from AMC called "The 10 Most Shocking Moments from MAD MEN," in anticipation of the August 16th Season Three launch.
