Canadian actor-brothers Shamier Anderson ( Wynonna Earp ) and Stephan James ( If Beale Street Could Talk ), alongside their youngest brother Sheldon James, have co-founded Canada’s first Black-owned venture capital firm dedicated to BIPOC entrepreneurs. The Bay Mills Investment Group will support and mentor young entrepreneurs in the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color) community in building profitable businesses through its Bay Mills Diversity Fund. The company will accept pitches from all industry verticals but said it is paying close attention to entertainment, real estate ownership and management, cannabis production and distribution, and education. The team said that they have raised $15M CAD of an initial round of $25M CAD, en route to complete three planned additional rounds for a total fund size of $100M CAD for the Bay Mills Diversity Fund by June 2021. They are actively seeking corporate partnerships and accredited investors.

Steven Soderbergh on the Gore, the Grind, and the Glory of Making ‘The Knick’
Steven Soderbergh has directed award-winning films like Traffic and Sex, Lies, and Videotape , as well as crowd-pleasers like Out of Sight and Ocean’s Eleven. He’s gone back in time with The Good German , and looked unnervingly prescient with Contagion . No job in his long and distinguished career, though, may have brought him more fulfillment than the 20 episodes of television he directed over two seasons of The Knick , the period medical drama that aired on Cinemax from 2014 to 2015 and has just come to HBO Max . “My wife has told me many times,” Soderbergh says, “‘That’s as happy as I’ve ever seen you working on anything.'” Set at a fictionalized version of Manhattan’s famed Knickerbocker Hospital at the turn of the 20th century, The Knick was created by Jack Amiel and Michael Begler, and starred Clive Owen as chief surgeon John “Thack” Thackeray, who used cocaine as an anesthetic on his patients, then got hooked on the drug himself.

‘Too Long; Didn’t Watch’: A New Rolling Stone and OBB Sound Podcast With TV Critic Alan Sepinwall
“I want to watch that, but who has the time?” Like the personal injury lawyer ads ask, has this ever happened to you? In the age of Peak TV, it’s hard to imagine that it hasn’t. When there are more scripted TV shows each year than even a professional TV-watcher like myself can get to, what hope do civilians — or even the people responsible for making these shows — have to keep up with it all? That’s why Rolling Stone has partnered with OBB Sound for a new podcast that hopes to take a sharp blade to the Gordian knot of 21st century television: Too Long; Didn’t Watch . In each episode, I sit down with a celebrity guest — including Kumail Nanjiani, Paul Scheer, Lena Dunham , Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally — who has identified a famous, culture-shaking television show they just never got around to watching, from the explosive character drama of Breaking Bad to the small-town political satire of Parks and Recreation . We watch the very first episode of the show … [Read more...] about ‘Too Long; Didn’t Watch’: A New Rolling Stone and OBB Sound Podcast With TV Critic Alan Sepinwall
‘El Camino’ Cheat Sheet: ‘Breaking Bad’ Episodes to Binge Before the Spinoff Movie
The 62 episodes of Breaking Bad make for one of the most satisfying and consistent viewing experiences in TV history. And with the sequel film, El Camino , set to debut October 11th on Netflix, you may feel inclined to binge the whole series, either to refresh your memory or simply put you in the mood. But 62 hours is a lot to watch a second or third time in the midst of the Peak TV flood, and all but impossible if you’ve put off said binge until now. As someone who’s literally written a book about Breaking Bad , I’ve been asked a lot lately about what episodes might be most useful to watch before the movie comes out. Vince Gilligan has kept so much about the movie under wraps — beyond the fact that it deals with what Jesse Pinkman ( Aaron Paul ) does in the immediate aftermath of the series finale — that it’s hard to say what you need to see. But this would be my suggested refresher course on all things Jesse Pinkman, in order of importance: “Confessions” … [Read more...] about ‘El Camino’ Cheat Sheet: ‘Breaking Bad’ Episodes to Binge Before the Spinoff Movie
