Former Top Gear Presenters Could Reunite on Netflix

By

At the end of March, BBC announced they weren't renewing the contract of Top Gear presenter, Jeremy Clarkson after a physical altercation with TG producer Oisin Tymon, the latest in a string of PR nightmares the outspoken Clarkson tends to create for BBC.

Ever since then, we've all wondered what the presenter of the highly popular motoring show would consider as his next news. We got a piece of the puzzle when Clarkson's fellow host, James May stated at the end of last month that he would not be returning, citing a lack of interest in working with a "Clarkson surrogate." That same day, TG Executive Producer Andy Wilman was confirmed to have left the show. Fellow host Richard Hammond also ruled out returning to Top Gear after his contract ran out at the end of March.

So what's 3 newly out-of-work tv presenters and an executive producer to do? Make a new Netflix version of their widely successful motoring show. According to Mirror, they are in talks with Netflix to create a new show, reuniting the presenters on our computers and smartphone screens who are currently gearing up for a series of live stadium shows simply titled "Clarkson, Hammond, and May Live." 

What will they call this new show? One source said the show, if they move forward with Netflix, the show would will be called, "House of Cars," Get it? Hello? Is this thing on?

Fingers crossed that the name is merely a joke but consider me fully on-board because Top Gear does quite well with their former shows on Netflix so this feels like a logical landing spot for the trio.

Day 5 of Halloween - The Fly (1958)

Jason:  First of all, I hope that everyone watched the right iteration of this film. The one with Vincent Price, not Jeff Goldblum.  Now that we’ve gotten that straight… This movie is considered to be a Halloween cult classic. It doesn’t have a whole lot in the way of scares or terror but it still remains a seasonal favorite. For the time, the make-up effects were decent. The way Andre’s fly head twitches and vibrates makes it look pretty convincing for a 1950’s puppet mask. The story, however, is what is so captivating. I have been reading a lot of Lovecraft stories lately and I couldn’t help but draw a comparison between them and this movie. The plot is very Lovecraftian. Let me explain: The main character is a highly intellectual recluse who spends most of his time in research. He stumbles across some natural secret that ultimately leads to his destruction. As he is trying to rectify his discovery, he slips farther and farther away from his humanity until he is com...

Muppets for Best Song!

What with all the talk about the Oscar nominations getting announced today, one particular nomination has been overlooked. Namely the fact that even though the ENTIRE soundtrack was overlooked by the Golden Globes the Oscars at least did right by the best bunch of original songs this year and nominated Man or Muppet as on of the contenders for Best Original Song. Sure my pick would have been for Life's a Happy Song, but that's not what's important. What is important is that The Muppets got an Oscar Nomination! YAAAAAAAAAY

Top 30 Muse Songs (15 - 11)

We're mere days away from Muse's new album Drones being released and it's time to see which of their songs cracked the top half of our list. If you missed the previous installments or need a refresher:  26-30 ,  21-25 ,  16-20 15. Undisclosed Desires I remember when they first released this song, it had a lot of fans scratching their collective heads because it felt like a vast departure from what we were used to with Muse. In time, we embraced the song because it's Muse and we appreciate the risk. The song ultimately seemed to lay the ground work for Madness on the next album. 14. Citizen Erased It's been a fan favorite for a long time and, according to the band, they're apparently not done with the idea. Bellamy did  an interview  where he said that a song called The Globalist  from their upcoming album is a sequel to Citizen Erased and is "a ten minute prog nightmare - which is about the rise and fall of a dictator." That sounds like it...
