Writer-director Alison O’Daniel’s The Tuba Thieves is inspired by a spate of thefts from Los Angeles-area high school marching bands between 2011 and 2013, though the details surrounding the incidents are only acknowledged in occasional title cards. O’Daniel instead uses the real-life tuba thefts as a springboard to explore, and in artistically fertile ways, how the removal of an integral part of a structure affects the larger whole.
The Tuba Thieves is specifically concerned with the experiences of being a member of the deaf and hard of hearing community. O’Daniel, herself a member of that community, distorts and manipulates image and audio throughout the film, sometimes even dropping out the latter, to fascinatingly reflect the disorientation that one can experience with the loss of hearing.
O’Daniel’s approach to narrative isn’t so much casual as it is coolly ambivalent. There’s a wisp of a plot, and...

We smell what The Rock is cookin’ – and that is a Ric Flair biopic, a long-awaited project about the stylin’ and profilin’ icon of the squared circle, the news of which can make us say only one thing: Woooooo! That’s right, Dwayne Johnson’s Seven Bucks Productions will send a Flair biopic to the ring, with Johnson himself issuing a statement on the film.
Johnson unveiled the biopic earlier this week while also paying tribute to Flair, stating, “As a kid who grew up in professional wrestling, I idolized, ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair. He was a hero to me. And once I broke into the wrestling business and began to spill my own sweat and blood – my reverence for Ric turned to respect. Because I realized just how rare and impossible it is to disrupt the wrestling business, culture and truly change the game – and that’s exactly what Ric Flair did.

Long before A24 produced Sean Durkin's emotionally obliterating drama "The Iron Claw" (read our review here), the stars at the center of the story, The Von Erichs, were wrestling royalty. It's difficult to fully encompass just how huge the Von Erich Boys were, both in size/stature and popularity. These were wrestlers so famous they appeared in commercials, had their own comic book series, and were known the world over without the assistance of national television or the internet. In fact, Durkin grew up watching old VHS tapes of Von Erich matches that took place in Texas while he was living in England. This is to say that if you know where to look, there's a hell of a lot of Von Erich merch floating out there. Autographed photos, T-shirts, bandanas, trading cards, posters, magazines, replica belts, and even the World Class Wrestling Von Erich-themed board game, are ready...

While The Iron Claw is earning high marks from critics and viewers alike (with an enviable A-Cinemascore rating), wrestling fans – who mostly love the film – have one issue with it. They don’t like the way wrestling legend Ric Flair was depicted, with many saying he came off as cartoonish. It’s not that Flair is depicted in a negative way; it’s just that fans feel the actor, Aaron Dean Eisenberg, wasn’t able to capture the legendary wrestler’s charisma in a way that makes sense.
“Well, look, what he (director Sean Durkin) should have done is use archival footage of Ric Flair and then have this guy maybe come in and do the mannerisms of Ric Flair in the ring,” said our own Travis Hopson (who also has his own site), who gave the film a very positive review but noted that as his only problem with the film.

Wrestling icon Ric Flair’s final match in the ring was last July, and the Nature Boy reportedly got some shut-eye between swinging punches.
Flair, 74, linked up with his son-in-law Andrade El Idolo to go fist-to-fist with Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett, the match being his first in over a decade since his stint at Tna/Impact Wrestling and over 14 years since his retirement finale against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 24.

While reassessing the match on “This Past Weekend” podcast with Theo Von earlier this week, the wrestling legend said staying awake during the battle was a fight in and of itself, stating: “I got light-headed. I actually fell asleep on the apron… Manny [Andrade El Idolo], my son-in-law, is going, ‘You have to wake up, sir. You have to wake up, sir.”

“The Tuba Thieves” director Alison O’Daniel took inspiration for her feature film from a series of tuba thefts from local LA high schools that she heard about on the radio. But instead of investigating the questions of who the thieves were and where the tubas ended up, she decided to make a film about the impacted band students and directors. Motivated by curiosity of peoples’ experiences with sound, she focused on creating a listening project.
Manuel Castañeda, who plays himself in the film, was one of the first people she contacted about the project. Geovanny Marroquin, one of the main characters, and Aija Jones play themselves as Castañeda’s band students. She also enlisted Nyke (Nyeisha Prince) as a main character, with whom she had worked on a previous film, after remembering Nyke’s experience with drumming. 11 years later, the film premiered at Sundance 2023.

There is so much talk in pro wrestling these days about a “Forbidden Door,” the unexpected collaboration between companies or when a star crosses over from one place to another. We’ve certainly seen our fair share of this in 2022. However, Conrad Thompson is taking it to another level with the card he has put together for Ric Flair’s Last Match. A celebration of the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair, Thompson’s father-in-law and arguably recognized Goat. WWE gave Flair a sendoff in 2004 at WrestleMania 24, but that didn’t stop the legendary 16-time champion from getting into the ring since then. Now, 73-year-old Flair will walk the aisle one more time teaming with another son-in-law and All Elite Wrestling star Andrade El Idolo to face WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett and Aew/Ring of Honor Jay Lethal. Much like this main event, the undercard in Nashville very much spotlights...

Retired high school principal Harold Diamond may be hearing, "I told you so," from his wife for the rest of his life. Diamond's wife, Carol, 74, urged him to stop at a Valero's gas station in Middleton, New York, Nov. 4 to wait out a storm. To pass the time, Diamond, 80, purchased 10 lottery tickets for $10.
