Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth (Trailer)
October 24, 2013
“I know many are wondering ‘what the hell is Mike Tyson gonna do up here on this stage tonight?’ And you know, frankly, I’m wondering the same thing.”
– Mike Tyson
If you spent the 90s spending money to watch Iron Mike Tyson perform live on pay TV (in the ring, one 90-second knockout at a time)… but didn’t get a chance to this century… we got you. Here’s the scoop: You can watch the former undisputed heavyweight boxing champion, main event on pay TV again soon; as his one-man stage show “Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth” will broadcast on Home Box Office (HBO) Saturday, November 16, 2013, at 8PM EST.

VICE: Chicago’s Gang Problem & The Inequitable Sharing Of Nigeria’s Oil Resources (Video)
August 28, 2013
YES! Damn smart move by VICE: posting its HBO shows online for their fans who don’t have premium cable.
“Don’t nobody wanna talk no more. It’s so easy to get a gun out here. Everybody wanna shoot it out.”
Wow. Remember how we posted on ‘Chi raq’ (Chicago being a war zone akin to Iraq)? Well, VICE addresses that in this episode’s first half. For the last half, VICE documents Nigeria’s oil industry – oil theft, financial and social costs, and more.

HBO Films: Muhammad Ali’s Greatest Fight (Trailer)
August 14, 2013
“Muhammad Ali’s Greatest Fight” premieres Saturday, October 5, 2013 at 8PM Eastern Time on HBO. This documentary has all the indications of greatness. An epic true life story: the then Heavyweight Champ Muhammad Ali refusing to enlist and go fight for the USA in Vietnam when he is drafted, a crisis of faith (his objections to the war), prison time, appeals taken all the way to the highest court in America… star power: Danny Glover, Christopher Plummer, Ed Begley Jr., Barry Levinson… and playing Ali… NO ONE! No one plays the Champ better than [stock footage of] the Champ!
HBO Films can pull it off though; as the documentary will focus more on the Supreme Court judges, their rulings and places in history, rather than on Ali himself.

VICE: Russian Billionaire Sergey Veremeenko is Russia’s 0.00001% (Video)
July 12, 2013
“We’ve been flying all over this land, and you’re like, ‘Okay. When do we get to Sergey’s place?’ This is Sergey’s place. This entire f#king place is Sergey’s. He owns pretty much the entire north of Russia!” – Ryan Duffy, Vice
Remember the 1% we were supposed to hate on as the Occupy Wall Street movement gained traction? Well, how much hate do you think a country’s .00001% can stir up?
After the collapse of Communism in Russia, as state assets were divvied up and privatized, a few individuals stepped in to take the reins of this entrepreneurial experiment. Rewarded with massive fortunes and fame, they came to be known as “the oligarchs.”
To see how the .00001% lives, we met up with infamous Russian oligarch Sergey Veremeenko and spent quality time hog-hunting and helicopter-joyriding at his private estate outside Moscow.
– Vice
Connections in the country’s steel, mining, and banking industries… and the MOVIE industry… and a fine a$$ 20-something model/actress wife (Sofya Skya, Miss World 2006). Man.
Click play. Let the hating begin.

HBO’s Hardknocks: Miami Dolphins Episode One (Video)
August 12, 2012
With the recent arrest of Chad Ochocinco Johnson for allegedly headbutting his wife Evelyn Lozada following an argument over a receipt for a box of condoms, I couldn’t help but think of the first episode of HBO’s Hardknocks series covering the Miami Dolphins this season. Chad Ochocinco was picked up by the Miami Dolphins after having an off year with the New England Patriots last season. With his month long marriage to his wife & joining the Dolphins in his hometown of Miami, it felt like it would be a positive new start for Chad to get back to being the premier wide receiver he once was in the NFL. Chad has been in the league for years now, but he’s rarely ever had any off-the-field troubles that put him in negative light until now. Ironically he predicted he would be arrested in this episode of HBO’s Hardknocks around the 40:25 mark.
