Sunday Dinner and a Movie “Baby Driver” Sunday Dinner and a Movie Baby Driver (2017) takes its name from the Simon & Garfunkel song on the “Bridge over Troubled Water” “Baby Driver” album. Although it plays during the credits, it’s preceded by a brilliant soundtrack with tunes from Bob & Earl, Serves Two, Includes Wine Sam & Dave, Barry White, Beck, The Beach Boys, The 85 Commodores, Blur, Dave Brubeck, Carla Thomas, and more. Lest you think we’re talking about an upscale Order Today; Pick-up music video, it’s not the music that drives this Saturday, March 6th fantastically entertaining movie. Baby Driver is a high- 505-983-2100 concept, stylish action thriller, written and directed by please inform us of any allergies or dietary restrictions Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz), and a joy to watch unfold. Three nefarious types leap from a car outside of a bank. Heat-at-Home Cream of Mushroom Soup The silent getaway driver, Baby (Ansel Elgort) cues up herbs “Bellbottoms” by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, and Pow! Bam! We’re off and running. The heist is Garden Salad masterminded by Doc (Kevin Spacey). He has his hooks radish, carrot, cucumber, red wine vinaigrette in Baby who, unknowingly, once swiped Doc’s car which happened to be full of stolen goods. Baby is pressed Roast-at-Home Organic Honey Mustard ½ Chicken into service until he can buy his way out of a life of crime green beans, dijon pan jus because someone else has their hooks into him. Debora (Lily James), a lovely waitress at his local diner and the Heat-at-Home White Cheddar Mac ‘n Cheese light “when darkness comes, and pain is all around.” love When not on the lam, Baby remixes music, recording bits of conversation on a cassette recorder, mixing them Pineapple Upside-down Cake into songs like “Was He Slow,” taken from a comment rum glaze he overheard about his mental capacities. Like love, the course of true crime never did run smooth. Leon “Bats’ Jefferson III (Jamie Foxx), one of the gang Luli Chardonnay Santa Lucia Highlands 2017 members, has it in for Baby, and there comes a Baby Driver is a high octane movie: killer soundtrack showdown. Yet, refreshingly unlike most Hollywood pumping, daredevil tires squealing. The movie also has movies, the result is not a foregone conclusion. These the comfort of an underlying love story interwoven with bad guys are very bad and perfectly performed by Jon scenes from a diner, that quintessentially American Hamm, Spacey and Foxx. Foxx manages to be both institution. Similarly, the Luli Chardonnay is punchy and funny and uncompromisingly villainous. But the whole exciting while being underpinned with a comforting cast, from bit parts to stars, is one of the films strengths. depth and softness.

    For Immediate Release, April 23rd 2021 The Pioneers Of Outsider Art Rock TODD RUNDGREN & SPARKS Reunite For New Recording Los Angeles, CA - It’s a music hipster’s dream come true, a pairing that will make legions of fans weak at the knees. A recorded collaboration between the ever-innovating producer, songwriter and Rock Hall Of Fame nominee Todd Rundgren and one of the most eclectic, quixotic and highly celebrated musical acts in modern music, Sparks! Not since Sparks’ Rundgren-produced 1971 debut album have these two titanically talented acts worked so closely together. And now Rundgren and Sparks are proud to release “Your Fandango,” the third single from Rundgren’s forthcoming Space Force album, which also features collaborations with Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo and hip hop artist Narcy, and the timing couldn’t be better. Rundgren just recently completed a highly publicized and hugely successful virtual tour, the “Clearly Human” Tour, while Ron and Russell Mael have been generating their own buzz ahead of the Cannes premiere of the Sparks-penned movie musical ‘Annette’ (starring Adam Driver & Marion Cotillard) and the full-length, Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Baby Driver) directed documentary ‘The Sparks Brothers’ about their career. In fact, it was the filming of Rundgren’s interview for the latter that reunited him with Sparks and formed the idea of a collaboration. The result is a masterful piece of polyphonic pop that elegantly layers Spanish music, Neopolitan cantatas, baroque fugues and glam rock for one truly epic composition. “It’s been a truly heartwarming experience to once again be working with Todd, our first-ever producer, after a brief 50-year hiatus.” - Ron and Russell Mael “It’s been a long way since Simple Ballet, but we finally got the old dance troupe back together!” - Todd Rundgren Stream the single: HERE In addition to making the track available on all digital platforms, acclaimed Finnish media artist Liisa Vääriskoski has created a mesmerizing and eye-popping video.

CAR - CONTINUOUS 2 Play is pressed on an iPod Classic. A rock track starts up. It’s very loud. It’s awesome. ‘Bellbottoms’ by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. On high strings and a guitar stab we see the driver. Young, baby faced. Short cropped hair. He wears mostly black. Sports cheap gas station shades. This is BABY. We can’t see his eyes, but his blank expression seems pretty stoic. He listens to the track, stares out the windshield. On a 2nd guitar stab we see a beefy (30s) tough guy in shotgun. This is GRIFF. He too wears shades, black business clothes. On a 3rd stab we see another black clad gentleman. (40s) He’s handsome, but looks like he parties too hard. This is BUDDY. On a final stab we see the last shades wearing black clad passenger, a younger lady (20s) with her hair up. This is DARLING. There’s a hint of trash beneath her business clothes. The high strings crescendo. Griff flings his door wide open. 3 INT./EXT. CAR/PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS 3 The track kicks in.

  • Man up – Biographies
    Presents MAN UP A film by Ben Palmer (88 min., UK, 2015) Language: English Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR 1352 Dundas St. West Tel: 416-488-4436 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1Y2 Fax: 416-488-8438 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com @MongrelMedia MongrelMedia LOGLINE When Nancy is mistaken for Jack’s blind date under the clock at Waterloo Station, she decides to take fate into her own hands and just go with it. What could possibly go wrong? MAN UP is an honest, heart-warming romantic comedy about taking chances and rolling with the consequences. One night, two people, on a first date like no other... SHORT SYNOPSIS Meet Nancy (Lake Bell): 34, single, hung-over, and exhausted by her well meaning but clueless friends’ continual matchmaking. 10 times bitten, 100 times shy, after an especially disastrous set-up at her friends’ engagement party, Nancy is basically done with dating. She’s reached the end of her rope, and is more than happy to hole up, seal up, and resign herself to a life alone. That is until Jack (Simon Pegg) mistakes Nancy for his blind date under the clock at Waterloo Station, and she does the unthinkable and just… goes with it. Because what if pretending to be someone else finally makes her man up, and become her painfully honest, awesomely unconventional, and slightly unstable true self? Best just to let the evening unfold, roll with the consequences, and see if one unpredictable, complicated, rather unique night can bring these two messy souls together.

  • Sparks - This Town Ain’T Big Enough for Both of Us Episode 211
    Song Exploder Sparks - This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Both of Us Episode 211 Hrishikesh: You’re listening to Song Exploder, where musicians take apart their songs and piece by piece tell the story of how they were made. My name is Hrishikesh Hirway. (“This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Both of Us” by SPARKS) Russell: We're big, uh, cinema buffs, so I think we've always had this kind of rationale that in making pop songs, you're able to make the most elaborate movie in your own mind in a three-minute song. Hrishikesh: That’s Russell Mael. He and his brother Ron Mael are the legendary duo, Sparks, from Los Angeles. Over the last 50 years, they’ve released 25 albums. They’ve collaborated with Giorgio Moroder and Franz Ferdinand, and influenced bands like Joy Division, Faith No More, Björk, and countless others. There’s a new documentary about them called The Sparks Brothers made by one of my favorite directors, Edgar Wright. His films include Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Baby Driver, and Scott Pilgrim vs the World. The new documentary premiered at Sundance this year, and comes out in theaters this Friday, June 18th. Here’s what Edgar Wright says in the intro of the film. Edgar: Sparks. How did this glam rock anomaly become a band with a career spanning 5 decades? How can Ron and Russell Mael be successful, underrated, hugely influential and overlooked all at the same time? And where does one even start with 25 studio albums and nearly 500 songs? Hrishikesh: We’re gonna start with just one song.
