Gina Carano joins Hunter Biden biopic, ‘My Son Hunter’

written by Ruben Jay

Former Mandalorian star Gina Carano has been announced as one of the stars of My Son Hunter, a biopic on Hunter Biden.

Carano announced the news in a Youtube video. The film will follow the life of President Joe Biden’s youngest son, Hunter. Carano will play the role of a secret service agent. Other cast members include Laurence Fox (Lewis, Victoria) who plays Hunter Biden and John James (Dynasty) who plays President Joe Biden.

“She is a world-weary secret service agent present at most of the Biden family’s dodgy dealings. She provides a voice of truth and Sardonic comedy over the absurd dealings of the Biden family and various Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian oligarchs,” said the pic’s producer Phelim McAleer. “She is present throughout the film – commenting and sometimes narrating the absurd life and party lifestyle of Hunter Biden and the dodgy dealings of his father.”

Carano was one of the stars of Disney+’s The Mandalorian before being cancelled by the streaming platform. Within a week of her firing, Carano was hired by The Daily Wire.

[Editorial] Apple Music’s new “Voice Plan” is stupid

written by Ruben Jay

Apple has introduced a new Apple Music plan – The Voice Plan, for $4.99 a month.

According to TechCrunch, Apple unveiled the new plan at their Apple Event in which users can pay $4.99 a month to be able to listen to commercial-free music streaming using their AirPods and HomePods sounds fun. However, users will only be able to access the streaming service via voice activation – hence the name.

Users will have to use voice commands to start, pause, skip, and replay music. They will also be able to create playlists and listen to curated playlists via their Pod devices. The idea is stupid.

Why Apple’s new plan is stupid? 

While I like the idea of a cheaper Apple Music plan (The current plans start at $9.99), this limited access service just seems like a bad idea.

Listen, I understand that you need to limit the service for users who are paying less (Spotify has a free and cheap option that are ad supported as does Pandora), but to make it exclusively for voice activation alone is just dumb.  I don’t see the service being very popular at all.

I can see this being a really cool idea for those who are visually impaired. Having a voice activated service for those who need the extra help would be a great idea – but across the board for users who either can’t or don’t want to pay $9.99 a month is stupid.

Apple could have easily made this cheaper plan better by allowing users to use it on their phones, tables, etc. without the AirPods and allowing full service access while maybe limiting some features.

Apple could have easily made this service the same price and made the $9.99 plan full service by limiting the amount of skips you get on curated playlists, or limiting the amount of curated playlists you have access to. Apple could have also introduced ads on curated playlists.

What is next for Apple Music?

Apple Music is launching the Voice Plan later this fall. I just hope that they decide against making it only voice activated.

written by Ruben Jay

Reynolds announced on Instagram that he has wrapped production on Spirited and is taking a bit of a break from acting.

Reynolds wrote “That’s a wrap for me on Spirited. Not sure I’d have been ready to say yes to a film this challenging even three years ago. Singing, dancing and playing in the sandbox with Will Ferrell made a whole lotta dreams come true. And this is my second film with the great @octaviaspencer Perfect time for a little sabbatical from movie making. I’m gonna miss every second working with this obscenely gifted group of creators and artists.”
