Introducing John Legend: How a Voice Breaks Through from Before The Moment with Nile Rodgers. Follow the show: Before The Moment with Nile Rodgers John Legend has always been ahead of the curve. He started playing piano at 4, graduated high school at 16. He grew up with a family surrounded by gospel music, and became a prodigy. After graduating from UPenn, he did what so many aspiring artists do - he hustled. Working a consulting job during the day, singing in clubs at night. Hoping to get someone to notice, to believe in him and to cut him a record deal. Funny to think about because it’s hard to imagine a world where John Legend isn’t a household name, but just goes to show that even the greats started somewhere.

THE DEADITES HAVE LEFT THE CABIN! 🩸🏢 It's Night 15 of The Geekz 31 Days of Horror, and tonight we're reviewing EVIL DEAD RISE (2023) — the brutal modern chapter that takes the Evil Dead franchise out of the woods and drops the nightmare into a Los Angeles apartment building. Written and directed by Lee Cronin, Evil Dead Rise follows two estranged sisters whose reunion turns into absolute horror after the discovery of another Book of the Dead unleashes a terrifying demonic force. What follows is a relentless mix of possession, gore, family horror, practical effects, and some of the most disturbing Deadite moments in the franchise. But did moving Evil Dead away from the cabin actually work? Is Evil Dead Rise one of the scariest entries in the series, or does it miss the charm of the originals? Join The Geekz as we break down the story, Deadites, Book of the Dead mythology, apartment setting, best scares, brutal kills, practical effects, the Marauder, and the unforgettable finale. 🎃 31 Days of Horror – Night 15 🩸 Movie: Evil Dead Rise 📅 Released: 2023 🏢 Genre: Horror / Supernatural / Demonic Possession / Gore We also discuss Alyssa Sutherland's performance as Ellie, Lee Cronin's direction, how the movie compares to Evil Dead (2013) and the Sam Raimi classics, and where Evil Dead Rise ranks in the franchise.

BLOOD. GORE. DEADITES. 🩸🌲 It's Night 14 of The Geekz 31 Days of Horror, and tonight we're reviewing EVIL DEAD (2013) — the brutal modern reimagining of Sam Raimi's horror classic.

When Mia and her friends discover the Book of the Dead and accidentally unleash an ancient evil, the weekend quickly becomes a fight for survival. But does Evil Dead (2013) live up to the original films? Is it the most brutal entry in the franchise? And does its darker tone make it one of the best modern horror remakes?
