Exclusive: Cast of ‘The Umbrella Academy’ talks upcoming Season 3

by Serena Khahera June 22, 2022
written by Serena Khahera

The Knockturnal was on the scene on Friday, June 17, 2022 at the infamous The London Hotel in West Hollywood. Netflix hosted a special screening of the The Umbrella Academy Season 3 with cast members Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, Ritu Arya, Justin Cornwell, Britne Oldford, Jake Epstein, Genesis Rodriguez, Cazzie David, Javon ‘Wanna’ Walton, and Ken Hall. This carpet and screening gave us an inside look into the ‘Umbrella Academy’ world right before its official release on June 22, 2022. This insanely popular show, created and executed produced by Steve Blackman, and Executive Producers Jeremy Webb, Jeff F. King, and Jesse McKeown, is here again to be everyone’s favorite summer show. When asked about the popularity of the show, David Castañeda said, “I mean people related to it, and obviously they had a huge comic book following but that usually doesn’t translate well if that’s not told right and that’s attributed to the creator Steve Blackman”. All of the Hargreeves siblings also agreed that this is by far the best season fans will see.

In this new season, the Hargreeves siblings find themselves back home in the present after putting a stop to 1963’s doomsday convinced they prevented the initial apocalypse and fixed this godforsaken timeline once and for all. But after a brief moment of celebration, they realize things aren’t exactly (okay, not at all) how they left them. Enter the Sparrow Academy. Smart, stylish, and about as warm as a sea of icebergs, the Sparrows immediately clash with the Umbrellas in a violent face-off that turns out to be the least of everyone’s concerns. Navigating challenges, losses, and surprises of their own – and dealing with an unidentified destructive entity wreaking havoc in the Universe (something they may have caused) — now all they need to do is convince Dad’s new and possibly better family to help them put right what their arrival made wrong. Will they find a way back to their pre-apocalyptic lives? Or is this new world about to reveal more than just a hiccup in the timeline?

The first person we got to chat with was the Aidan Gallagher who plays Number Five.

Exclusive: Ben Crump & Nadia Hallgren talks “Civil” at ABFF

by Jan D. June 21, 2022
written by Jan D.

Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump and Director Nadia Hallgren graced us with their presence at the 26th annual American Black Film Festival. “Civil” was screened at The New World Center in Miami receiving a standing ovation from the festival-goers. This groundbreaking documentary follows the life of Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump as he takes on different police brutality cases such as Breanna Taylor, Trayvon Martin, George Floyd, and many more. This documentary amplifies the injustices in a society that should be unified and protected. 

The Knockturnal had the opportunity to chat with Ben and Nadia about the making of Civil and the Films influence. Ben started out by giving thanks to Kenya Barris who served as the producer for this project. 

“[Kenya Barris] could’ve done another comedy and played it safe but he knew this part of the black experience in America is equally important.” 

Nadia touched on the powerful impact the media had as it pertains to exposing the realities of what goes on in Black America. 

“People were coming out marching for George Floyd in South Korea, Austria, and all of these places so we know this was just a special moment that resonated throughout the world.” 

 At the end of the interview, Ben shared his sentiments and praises Nadia for including his mother in the documentary.  

 “For her to be able to see this in her lifetime meant a lot to me because all I have and all that I am to be is because of my mother’s sacrifice.” 

 “Civil” is now streaming on Netflix.

Exclusive: Cast Talks ‘Beauty’ at Tribeca Festival [Video]

by Jorge Mitssunaga June 15, 2022
written by Jorge Mitssunaga

The film “Beauty” is a powerful love story about a young queer Black woman in the 1980’s aiming to breakout in the music industry while hoping to preserve her identity. The highly anticipated film premiered at the School of Visual Arts for the Tribeca Film Festival over the weekend. The cast, writers, and director of the film graced the red carpet before the premiere to share their thoughts on “Beauty” and how the film is elevating queer voices of color.

Grace Marie Bradley is the lead actor in the film and plays the ambitious singer named “Beauty.” Bradley told us her approach to channeling the character was to come from a place of purity right before experiencing the overwhelming powers of stardom. Beauty faces several obstacles, one of which centers around her parents’ disapproval of her relationship with her girlfriend as well as the strict supervision her father looms over her career. Beauty’s meteoric rise to fame is met with more obstacles that force her to decide on whether to conceal her sexuality and misrepresent her art for the sake of success.

Cast members like Alyse Shannon, who plays Beauty’s love interest “Jasmine,” told us watching the main character navigate through these internal battles and making critical decisions for herself is what makes the film beautiful. Kyle Bary, who plays Beauty’s brother “Abel,” told us the film is a powerful image of the Black Middle Class and how the main character is stuck between choosing her family and her future.

The soundtrack featured in the film also parallels Beauty’s journey and that of powerhouse Black female vocalists like Patti LaBelle and Whitney Houston.

The final screening of “Beauty” is set for this upcoming Saturday June 18.

On the Scene: Forbidden Love: A FIRST KILL Screening & Prom Event

by Serena Khahera June 12, 2022
written by Serena Khahera

On Thursday June 9th, The Knockturnal had the chance to attend the special screening and prom event for FIRST KILL at Netflix Home Theater. We got to see an advance viewing of the first episode before it launched globally on Netflix, which was then followed by a prom themed after party with music, photo opportunities and more! Although the vampire romance story can seem quite overdone, I promise you ‘FIRST KILL’ offers a completely new spin with a sapphic teenage love story between elite vampires and ruthless hunters just in time for pride month.

After checking in with staff we walked into the Netflix lobby where we were greeted with a giant wall displaying the ‘FIRST KILL’ poster. After mingling in the lobby we were escorted by staff down a hallway displaying little easter eggs and exclusive behind the scenes looks at some of your favorite Netflix shows like ‘Stranger Things’ and ‘Bridgerton’. All of us picked up a tub of popcorn and water and walked into the intimate theater. Once we were all seated we got to hear YA author V.E. Schwab, writer behind the short story ‘FIRST KILL’ is based on, talk about how much this moment meant to her. Schwab said, “I’m geeking for many many many reasons at this point, but one of them is that basically that three years ago I wrote this story, two years ago we started the writers room, one year ago we started filming, and here we are like…Oh my God! But the real reason I’m geeking out is because everyone on the team knows that I am the ‘Popcorn Optimist’. I’m the one who does not believe a thing is real until I can sit with a bucket of popcorn and watch it so today when I picked up my bucket of popcorn I realized this is finally real.” After watching the first episode with possibly the most fun audience ever, we headed out to the prom after party.  At the after party we got to meet the cast of ‘FIRST KILL’ and share some drinks and food with all of them while the most amazing DJ played an amazing track list, resembling the amazing soundtrack of the show.

‘FIRST KILL’ is about a teenage vampire Juliette  (Sarah Catherine Hook) who now has to make her first kill so she can take her place among a powerful vampire family, she sets her sights on a new girl in town named Calliope (Imani Lewis). But much to Juliette’s surprise, Calliope is a vampire hunter, from a family of celebrated slayers. Both find that the other won’t be so easy to kill and, unfortunately, way too easy to fall for. As if being a teenager wasn’t already hard enough, now these two must navigate a star-crossed romance in the midst of an ages-old feud. With tons of amazing queer representation, this show will have everything and more that an audience could want. This show reminds the audience how incredibly important it is that queer people can finally have their own version of the same cliche vampire stories everyone else has gotten their whole lives.

Season one of ‘FIRST KILL’ premiered June 10, only on Netflix.

Exclusive Interview with Shake Chatterjee & Emily Wilson

by Avyana Chapman June 1, 2022
written by Avyana Chapman

I had the pleasure to sit down and have brunch with the lovely Shake Chatterjee and Emily Wilson at Osteria Morini in South Beach, Miami to learn more about this innovative, entrepreneurial and lively power couple. Shake is well-known for being on a popular Netflix show, Love Is Blind Season 2, while Emily is a Miami-based entrepreneur and businesswoman. 

How did Shake and Emily meet? 

“We found love in a hopeless place,” says Shake. Emily and Shake met at the SLS during a pool party on a beautiful Saturday in Miami. Shake was trying to escape the cold in Chicago and was only in Miami for his second time. Emily was there celebrating a friend’s birthday and the birthday girl recognized Shake. At this point, Emily had never seen Love Is Blind but she and Shake just hit it off. Shake is happy that Emily got to know him for his true self before watching the show. Emily thought that Shake and his friends were a part of the birthday group. Emily stated that she thought Shake was, “charismatic, funny, and cool” and that she “just liked his vibe.” After this pool party they ended up spending the entire weekend together and the rest is history.  

How is life in Miami for the couple?

“Life in Miami is amazing,” says Emily. Emily moved to Miami during COVID-19 from New York City. Emily was working in private wealth management in Manhattan doing the “New York thing,” until COVID hit and she found herself alone in her studio apartment. She wanted to try something new while riding out COVID. Emily’s friend in New York had the idea to rent out an apartment for a few months and asked if any other friends would be down to do the same. Emily said, “Alright, let’s do it – let’s get out of New York for a bit.” Emily put her things and storage and headed for Miami with her new puppy. She thought the move would be a two-month ordeal but ended up loving it in Miami! While here, Emily went to the 2021 Bitcoin conference in June and, “fell in love with all things crypto.” Emily says, “It’s the future,” in reference to the growing industry. Emily loved the energy and excitement from everyone at the events. At this point, Emily was still working in banking, but she caught the crypto bug. Emily states, “I ended up getting into the whole crypto scene here in Miami which was incredible.” Shake got into the crypto scene as well and the couple has been pairing up on several different ventures. Emily states it’s fun to be dating and working together all while meeting such interesting people that are enthusiastic about the future of the industry. Shake loves the weather in Miami, first and foremost coming from Chicago. Shake likes the fact that you can walk around in shorts and a T-shirt. He would describe the people here as “super welcoming.” Shake appreciates having a girlfriend who has been here for a little while to help make his Miami move a little smoother. “Exploring a city with the love of my life,” says Shake.

What are some current goals for the couple? 

Emily, 27 and an alumna of Boston College, is focused on her career growth, the projects she and Shake are working on, as well as their new relationship at this moment. She looks forward to “raising a family one day” while being the “boss bitch,” that she has always aspired to be.

Shake, 33, states that he is “ready for something serious” and that he and Emily are working on building their relationship, making sure it is “strong and secure.” The couple has found themselves in a number of influencer roles, with brand partnerships in addition to being involved in various tech and crypto projects, Shake currently has a metaverse project in the works and has a podcast “Life is Blurry.” Shake is also a veterinarian – but is currently not practicing. 

Does Shake have any regrets about Love Is Blind?

Shake states he had no regrets about Love Is Blind, but there were some things about the show he wished were different. “The experience I had led me to exactly where I am at now. Being on the show itself was an experience that was very unique and being on the show has opened up a lot more experiences and opportunities,” says Shake. Overall, Shake feels like things have worked out for him and he is glad things worked out the way they did! 

How does Emily feel about dating someone in the limelight? 

Emily describes dating someone in the limelight as, “not as big of a deal as you would think.” She explains that “there are definitely pros and cons. The other night we were eating pizza outside and a group of girls came up with their cameras in our faces – they wouldn’t leave us alone.” But, she states “I’ve met so many cool people just because they recognized Shake, and meeting good people is never a bad thing.”

Exclusive: Netflix’s ‘Bling Empire’ Star Kevin Kreider Talks Season 2 [VIDEO]

by Stephanie Giang-Paunon May 29, 2022
written by Stephanie Giang-Paunon

Netflix’s “Bling Empire” takes the movie “Crazy Rich Asians” to a whole other level, and the reality TV stars are back for a second season.

 

Fans can expect more bling, more glamour, and a ton of drama. The cast will make you laugh, cry and give you an inside scoop on their lavish lifestyle. Grab your caviar, Dom Perignon and get ready to binge-watch another epic season of “Bling Empire.”

 

Returning members are Christine Chiu, Kevin Kreider, Kim Lee, Kelly Mi Li, Kane Lim, Jaime Xie, Cherie Chan, and Anna Shay. Netflix’s “Bling Empire” season 2 also introduces two additional cast members, Dorothy Wang, and Mimi Morris.

 

In season 2, Cherie and Jessey’s relationship is questioned among the friends’ group, the bromance between Kane and Kevin gets tested, and Beverly Hill’s rivaling queens, Christine and Anna, put a new twist on the art of social warfare.

 

The Knockturnal sat down exclusively with returning cast member Kevin Kreider to see what fans can expect for season 2, as he dishes on his relationship with Kim Lee, the fallout with Kane, his sobriety journey, and the most extravagant jewelry he’s ever laid eyes on.

 

“For season 2, you definitely want to expect a lot of roller coaster moments, feeling down and going up…feeling sick to your stomach a little bit, because man you just want to see us achieve things and get together and be good. You’re going to see a lot of things you don’t expect,” Kreider stressed.

 

“Bling Empire” season 2 is available to stream now on Netflix.

Exclusive: Sarah Catherine Hook, Imani Lewis, & EP Felicia D. Henderson Talk New Netflix Show ‘First Kill’

by Julian Cannon May 25, 2022
written by Julian Cannon

The intimate love story of two lesbian vampire teens First Kill is set to premiere on Netflix on June 10th.

Despite being from two different backgrounds, both of the leads of First Kill have sets their sights on their very first kill. Kirst Kill tells the story of a teenage vampire named Juliette (Sarah Catherine Hook) as she is set out to kill Calliope (Imani Lewis) in order to take her place among a powerful vampire family. It was a shock for Juliette when Calliope revealed to her that she is a vampire hunter coming from a family of famous slayers. There is one thing that both of them realize, however, that they won’t be so easy to kill and, unfortunately, way too easy to be tricked by.

It is written, directed, and produced by Felicia D. Henderson (The Punisher, Empire, Gossip Girl, Soul Food), who is also responsible for both writing and executive producing the Netflix adaptation. First Kill is based on the short story by New York Times best-selling author Victoria “V. E.” Schwab, who is also responsible for writing and producing the series. Through their production company, Belletrist Productions, Emma Roberts and Karah Preiss serve as executive producers.

According to the information that has been provided by Netflix, the first season of First Kill will have a total of eight episodes with each episode having an approximate running time of 60 minutes. This is an highly anticipated series for fans of the source material along with the fans who love the vampire genre.

In this exclusive interview, we speak with First Kill stars Sarah Catherine Hook and Imani Lewis about the first season of First Kill. We also talked with executive producer Felicia D. Henderson about some of the behind the scenes work of First Kill along with the casting process!
