What To Expect On Qwest TV Africa In July 2023?

JAMES BROWN – LIVE IN PARIS Chorus remains a reference point in the French audiovisual landscape as a rock show to be reckoned with. Known for its incredible line-up (thanks to the Bazooka collective), the program (ran by Antoine de Caunes and the facetious Jacky leaves) left its habitual l’Empire venue in February 1981 to stage James Brown at the Hippodrome of Porte de Pantin. An intense performance, the recording reveals a Mister Dynamite driven by lower currents of disco. We feel this perceptible influence via "Rapp Payback," a hedonistic remix of his 1973 funky manifesto, and again with "It's Too Funky In Here," a theme punctuated by haunting female choruses. Dedicated to Godfather classics, the second part of the set is notably punctuated by "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag," a sequence during which James Brown unveils his signature moves. Yet the highlight of this concert remains the incantatory version of "It’s a Man's Man's World.

What Happened To Trace Sport Stars?

Image
Trace Sports Stars is a lifestyle channel that celebrated the life of sports through factual entertainment, reality shows and gossip similar to E! operated by NBCUniversal. The channel supplies various originals such as Up Close, Bad Boys In Sports and Football Stars. The channel was added in 2011/2 on Sky UK and MultiChoice's DStv across Africa as Trace Sports. Two years later, it went dark in the UK which coincides with the rebrand to Trace Sports Stars as they didn't offer live sports and the name didn't coincide with the offering. When looking at a brand name like Trace Sports, one would assume they'd play actual sports like English Premier League, La Liga and WWE and although the content is focused solely on that topic. It just didn't really stick with some consumers. In general, Trace Sports Stars was a wreck not because the channel couldn't get fresh content as it did possess potential but likely due to the fact that this type of content promoted by

New Movie Alert: Seconds Currently Streaming On Amazon Prime Video And Soon On eVOD

Image
In the film, Seconds, a boxer, has to fight until he dies so as to repay a man who has given him a place to stay, a job and even taken his son to school. Though his aging body is no longer allowing him to fight, his boss keeps demanding more in the ring from him.  Kuhn said: “In Seconds, the team delves into the complex dynamics of the Khumalo family and the Van Tonder family, for whom Seconds has trained as a boxer while working at their family butchery. “As the narrative unfolds, long-buried secrets and unresolved traumas begin to surface, causing tensions to rise. As Seconds’ son, Lukas Khumalo, embarks on a promising political career,his aspirations unknowingly strain his father’s relationship with Pa Van Tonder, the patriarch of the family. “What follows is a journey of self-discovery as Seconds fights not only for his boxing career but also for the restoration of his family and reclaiming his own life.” One of the executive producers of the film, Vuyelwa Booi, said: “We

Disney Planning To Restart The Pirate Of The Caribbean's Franchise

Image
Sean Bailey, the president of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production, recently spoke with the New York Times to talk about Disney’s live-action projects and one of those projects was Pirates of the Caribbean. Bailey says restarting the Pirates franchise is a priority at Disney. “We think we have a really good, exciting story that honors the films that have come before but also has something new to say” For those unaware, Disney is actually developing multiple Pirates projects and we highlight each project and share everything we know so far. So let’s set sail and get into the nitty-gritty. Pirates Project #1 Back in 2018, it was reported that Deadpool and Zombieland 2: Double Tap writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, were brought on to write Pirates 6, but would drop out months later and were replaced by Chernobyl and The Last of Us creator Craig Mazin and Pirates alum Ted Elliot. While there have been no story details or massive updates on this project, it is still the main Pir

CG 'Dora The Explorer' Reboot Now Set For Spring 2024

Image
Last February, it was announced that the long-running Nick Jr. series Dora the Explorer would be getting a 3D CG reboot on Paramount+. While initially set for sometime this year, it will unfortunately not be the case. The June 2023 issue of Toy World Magazine declares that the new series with the Latina heroine will arrive next spring. The series, tentatively titled ¡Dora!, is described as a reimagining of the classic show which “promises to strike the perfect balance between the comfort of the familiar and the excitement of the fresh.” It will feature the notable characters from the original series, with not only Boots and Swiper but as the only released art shows, Isa, Tico, and Benny too. A key modernization to the storytelling is also teased, unclear as to what (could it be the fact that the series was originally in the world of a point-and-click PC game?). While Toy World is a British magazine, that only makes the difference of a day or so based on recent releases rather than be a

Confirmed: PBS Kids To Close In Australia By The End Of June

Image
PBS Kids is an educational brand operated by the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) targeting children aged 2-8 years. It operates as a programming block on PBS in the United States and also a linear channel currently viewable on MultiChoice's DStv and GOtv in Africa. Last month, Foxtel in Australia sent out a notice to consumers that they would be losing out on shows such as Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, Donkey Hodie, Wild Kratts and Hero Elementary as the PBS Kids channel would be going dark by the end of June after 2 years. It means that Africa would once again be the only international territory to package PBS Kids as Australia was one of the few territories to actually offer a 24 hour service. Foxtel highlights viewership as one of the contributing factors to the channel's demise. “We constantly review the performance and popularity of this content and have made the decision to close our PBS Kids channel. PBS Kids will be available to customers until 30 June 2023.”

The Simpsons: A Tribute To Hollywood's Finest Actors, Phil Hartman

Image
Later episodes of The Simpsons tend to unfold like Radiohead songs, starting off one way before taking an abrupt left turn. In stark contrast to this style, the plot of Season 2 gem “Bart Gets Hit By a Car” is thrust into motion within its first minute… when Bart gets hit by a car. Immediately afterward, the boy’s soul sheds its mortal shell and ascends the escalator to heaven, guided by a voice that is both pleasant and firm. It’s the kind of voice designed to convey trust during a commercial, and also the kind used during a fake commercial to mock such naked appeals for trust, perhaps on Saturday Night Live. If this hauntingly familiar voice wasn’t one that viewers recognized at the time of the original airing, it was one they would soon know very well: this was the first Simpsons appearance of Phil Hartman. It is an honor to be invited as a guest voice on The Simpsons. Only after you’ve “made it” in some way within your chosen field will this gesture be extended. Athletes, actors, a
