If you've heard or Rob Terry before, then you would be familiar with his work from his time with IMPACT! Wrestling. Terry was not only apart of The British Invasion with Doug Williams and current NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Brutus Magnus (aka Nick Aldis).

Once the stable dissolved he later teamed then feuded with Robbie E. (currently Rob Stone in WWE NXT). Now, the Welsh grappler not only works as a firefighter but at the time of film  Generation Iron: Natty 4 Life, was the defending Natural Olympia champion in the heavyweight division.

Terry, who stands 6'4" and walks around at over 260 lbs is a life-long natural bodybuilder. Terry, who had a medical condition at the age of 8 years old would have died from any attempt at becoming an enhanced athlete, although you would never guess from looking at him. Big Rob, as he was known in Florida Championship Wrestling used to be offended by people calling him a, "fake natty," but Terry has the physical scars to prove just why he couldn't take anything that isn't over the counter. In fact, not only does he participate in WADA urine testing, but also willfully submits to blood tests at his own expense.

Generation Iron: Natty 4 Life, follows the journey of natural competitors as Terry competes against Adrian Pietrariu and Philip Ricardo Jr. tries to repeat his previous year's victory at the Natural Olympia. The documentary also features fan favorites Kai Greene and the, “controversial” figure, former American Gladiator, Mike O’Hearn. Over the years, people have accused O’Hearn of being a, “fake natty,” which he also addresses in the documentary.

We spoke with Terry about Generation Iron: Natty 4 Life, and could competitors be considered natural if they were ever enhanced at one point in time?

Director Eric Appel (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Teachers, Son of Zorn) has taken on the challenge to turn what easily could have been a full-length feature film into 10, 10-minute episodes for the streaming service Quibi entitled Die Hart.

The series follows Kevin Hart, who plays an exaggerated version of himself in wanting to go from comic relief, sidekick into action hero. In order to do so, he must train with the absolutely insane Ron Wilcox (John Travolta), a man who takes method acting to an extreme.

Die Hart is part The Truman Show, part Last Action Hero, pure comedy and all Hart (yes, pun intended).

We caught up with Appel about the series now streaming on Quibi discussing the daily run of these hilarious episodes and the possibility of turning it into a full-length feature film on DVD.

Karan Soni (Deadpool, Miracle Workers) was early in his career when he filmed the Paul Feig series, Other Space. Originally launched on the now defunct Yahoo! Screen streaming platform, the series that premiered in 2015 has found a new home on Dust. 

The series follows the misadventures of a team young and inexperienced crew in the year 2105 as they face obstacles of space exploration. Think The Orville before the series was ever conceived. 

Soni plays Captain Stewart Lipinski, an overly kind pushover who lacks confidence in his abilities while his first-mate sister, Karen (Bess Rous) along with his unrequited love for Tina (Milana Vayntrub) and of course a lovable robot as well as a misfit crew, this a Galaxy Quest level of hilarity in a half-hour sitcom.

We caught up with Karan about what its like revisiting this series five years late, how we miss being at Comic-Con and the hopes for a season two on Dust.

Other Space begins exclusively streaming on August 1, 2020.

Famed director, Catherine Hardwicke (Lords of Dogtown, Twilight) and actress Helena Howard (Madeline’s Madeline) spoke with us about their new Quibi sci-fi series, Don't Look Deeper.

The series follows Aiesha (Howard) a high school senior in Merced, CA that lives only 15 minutes in the future. Aiesha realizes something isn't quite right about herself. She realizes that she's not human. The revelation sets events into motion that unravel an entire system run by Don Cheadle and Emily Mortimer. Now the teens have to figure out what's real and who isn't while dealing with the pressures of adolescence.

Don't Look Deeper has a West World feel and questions what is humanity, if A.I. can have feelings, moral and ethical dilemmas and what truly is a soul.

Check out what the duo had to say about the new 14-episode series that begins streaming daily on Quibi beginning Monday, July 27, 2020.

7500 follows co-pilot Tobias Ellis (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and his flight attendant girlfriend, Gökce (Aylin Tezel) who shortly after take off endure a terrorist attack on their flight. Captain Michael (Carlo Kitzlinger) is wounded severely and it is is to Tobias to keep the plane together as things have run a muck.

We spoke with writer and director Patrick Vollrath about the project, working with Gordon-Levitt, who was his ideal choice to play Tobias, how true life events shaped this story and the difficulties of working with such a tight shoot in such a small setting.

7500 is out Amazon Prime Video, June 19, 2020.
