Logan Paul and Ksi are stepping up to the plate. The two influencers, who put aside their differences to form the beverage brand Prime Hydration, have secured a partnership with the second-most valuable franchise in Major League Baseball. Prime is now the official sports drink of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Thanks to the deal, Prime will now be available at concession stands throughout Dodger Stadium. To christen the partnership, Paul and Ksi (real name J.J. Olatunji) took a trip to Chavez Ravine to throw out the ceremonial first pitches at a Dodgers game. They also stepped into the batter’s box to take some swings. The video footage from that experience suggests that influencer baseball may not catch on in the same way influencer boxing did.

Updated, 8:58 Am: Chavez Ravine is getting Fluffier. After becoming the first comic to sell out Dodger Stadium in its 60-year history, Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias has added a second show at the yard. The newly set “Fluffy on the Field” show is set for Friday, May 6, but this one only will have seating on the field for a more intimate experience.
As with May 7 show that was announced last week, this one also is part of Netflix Is a Joke: The Festival and will be recorded for the Mr. Iglesias alum’s third Netflix special, which will premiere this year.
Previously, March 15: The biggest draw of the massive 11-night Netflix Is a Joke festival which begins next month in Los Angeles is not Kevin Hart, not Dave Chappelle and not Pete Davidson, but Southern California’s own Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, at least in terms of seats filled in one night.

Exclusive: The epic, years-long battle between Al Capone and Eliot Ness, who clashed on the biggest stage in the world on their way to becoming ultimate American enemies, is the subject of a new TV series in early development at Showtime, from Alex Kurtzman’s Secret Hideout, run by Heather Kadin, and CBS Studios where the company is based.
Written by Ben Jacoby, the project is based on Max Allen Collins and A. Brad Schwartz’s nonfiction book Scarface and the Untouchable: Al Capone, Eliot Ness and the Battle for Chicago.
A Chicago Public Library Best Book of the Year, Scarface and the Untouchable, published in 2018 and optioned by Secret Hideout, chronicles the lives of gangster Al Capone and his lawman nemesis, Eliot Ness in Prohibition-era Chicago.

Exclusive: Chris Pine is attached to play iconic CBS newsman Walter Cronkite in Newsflash. This is the Ben Jacoby-scripted drama that takes place on November 22, 1963, the day President John F Kennedy was assassinated in Texas. Similar to the cultural atom-splitting moments captured in films like The Social Network, Newsflash covers the day that television network news came of age, and that Cronkite became the most trusted TV newsman voice of America. Even if he wasn’t first to announce the president had died (NBC did that).
Mark Ruffalo is still attached to play Don Hewitt, who was Cronkite’s producer and helped navigate the chaos in an unimaginably tragic day in America. The drama is being mobilized for a January start Greg Silverman’s Stampede, with Silverman producing with Adam Kolbrenner. Jacoby wrote a much admired script called The Ravine, a Chinatown-like look at how landowners were pushed...

Exclusive: Netflix has acquired the Michael Lewis bestseller Flash Boys, and Ben Jacoby has been set to adapt it.
The nonfiction bestseller is about a group of Wall Street guys who grew frustrated by a loophole that gave traders the opportunity to game the stock market. They banded together to reform the financial markets by creating an exchange that rendered impotent the act of high-frequency trading, a growing form of trading that gave insiders an advantage. Lewis wrote The Big Short, and Flash Boys was viewed as the antithesis of the practices that created the 2008 financial crisis. The Flash Boys walked away from huge-money jobs to use their expertise to investigate big banks, stock exchanges and high-frequency trading firms. They peeled back the layers to bare why many feel that Wall Street is such a rigged game.
The book was originally bought at auction by Sony in 2014. It comes to...

Vin Scully, the voice of the Dodgers, is calling it a career this weekend after 67 years in the booth. If you will indulge me, I’d like to tell you about one of my favorite moments from Scully behind the microphone, and about one night at Dodger Stadium that will make me miss him even more.
But first, a little background. I was never a big baseball guy growing up, even though I played a couple of seasons on a local Little League team. (Our squad was called the Firemen.) During those days, when I wasn’t playing the game, either in Little League or somewhere on my grandma’s farm with my cousins, the presence of a baseball broadcast usually meant that something I’d rather have been watching on TV was unavailable to see because someone else wanted to watch the damn game. (I tried to sit down,...

With a title like this you know it has to be good. Irvin Kershner got his start directing on this small-scale tale of kids and crime. Jonathan Haze and Abby Dalton are standouts in the cast, while the uncredited executive producer who put up the cash is said to have been Roger Corman. It's a beautiful widescreen transfer -- the film was one of the first features shot by Haskell Wexler, who is also uncredited.

A widow and her two daughters add a Ouija board to their scam séance business, and wouldn’t you know, things go south.

Whether he wins another Emmy or not, there's a good chance that the highlight of Bryan Cranston‘s week will have come Tuesday night. See video: Julia Louis-Dreyfus Tries to Sell Her Emmy to Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul in Pawn Shop Parody Cranston, a lifelong Dodgers fanatic, visited Chavez Ravine on Tuesday night and spent some time in the announcer's booth with the one and only Vin Scully. That's a treat for any baseball fan — the long-time broadcaster is a Hall of Famer and legend — but especially so for Cranston, who grew up listening to Scully's voice through good times.

Turns out the Dodgers did make a major acquisition at the trade deadline: Veteran pitcher Jeff Bridges. For at least one game, anyway. See video: Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges Are Very Serious Enemies in ‘The Giver’ Trailer The Oscar-winning actor appeared at Chavez Ravine on Friday to toss out the first pitch, ostensibly to promote his upcoming film “The Giver” (gotta break through to audiences any way you can these days), and decided to deliver the ball in the style of perhaps his most famous character, The Dude from “The Big Lebowski.” That totes had viral video potential, he must have been thinking — and.

The real fun might not be seeing the La Kings against rival Anaheim Ducks in Chavez Ravine but instead those poor workers and Zamboni drivers trying to keep the ice from melting on a potentially hot La day. That’s what first came to mind when the NHL today announced the Jan 25, 2014, game as part of its expanded outdoor schedule last year. The Stadium Series as it’s now called was spawned by the successful annual Winter Classic game on New Year’s Day, which has boosted awareness of the sport, and provided NBC a killer TV alternative to college bowl game blowouts. Toronto plays Chicago at Soldier Field on March 1, and other matchups are to be announced including likely Yankee Stadium games featuring the NY Rangers, NY Islanders and NJ Devils. We wonder though if anybody in the league office ever asked the players about these extra outdoor games?...

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Fox Sports settlement over the team's TV right was approved Wednesday by U.S. bankruptcy court judge Kevin Gross, paving the way for the expedited sale of the embattled franchise. Dodgers owner Frank McCourt had been seeking to sell the rights before the team so as to enhance the value of his Chavez Ravine properties. In reaching this deal on Tuesday, the Dodgers gave up that pursuit. In exchange, Fox has dropped its complaints about the upcoming sale. "This agreement is a significant step towards a successful sale of...

They drank, fought, chased women and died. But La's Native Americans live on in a lost gem of a film: The Exiles
In Los Angeles Plays Itself, the cult documentary by Thom Andersen about "the most photographed city in the world – and the least remembered", the director heaped praise on an all-but forgotten La movie: Kent Mackenzie's The Exiles, which documented a riotous and boozy Friday night in the lives of several Native Americans, originally from Arizona, living in the Bunker Hill area of downtown La in the late 1950s.
Unlauded and largely unseen in its day, it has received ecstatic plaudits from Us critics ever since. Today it's seen as both a unique moment in the history of Native American film-making and a record of the vanished community (and the beautiful Victorian architecture) that once existed where La's skyscrapers now stand.

Director Walter Hill.
Kicking Ass with Walter Hill
by Jon Zelazny
Action flicks. Two-fisted tales. Guy movies. Whatever you want to call them, writer, producer, and director Walter Hill is one of the living masters, with a resume full of classics from The Getaway (1972), to the Alien series, and the definitive eighties action-comedy blockbuster, 48 Hrs. (1982).
2009 marks the 30th anniversary of The Warriors (1979), Hill’s surreal “street gang on the run” cult classic, and his breakout success as a director.
Jon: A couple years ago, you did an audio commentary and on-camera intro for a new DVD edition of The Warriors. It was the first time I’d ever seen you; is it my imagination, or have you kept a low profile over the years?
Walter Hill: I’d never done a commentary before on one of my films. I don’t like the idea of explaining a movie; I...
