The guys from Nowhere have been celebrating the life and career of the legendary Robin Williams through special episodes of “Why Not?” The “Why Not?” episodes of Nowhere California started out as a way to have a monthly movie discussion and spotlight movies that might have flown under some radars.

In the past installments of “Why Not?” the Nowhere California Team have focused on movies that slightly fell out of the mainstream to movies that a regular viewer might have not given a proper chance. There are many other ways to describe these movie, but the goal of “Why Not?” is to give these films another shot.

Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo have taken the Las Vegas journeys from the pages to the silver screen and their return to print is set, with the help of cartoonist Troy Little. Top Shelf Productions, an imprint of IDW Publishing, has announced this adaptation of “Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas” will begin their entrance into the world of graphic novels.

IDW Publishing has made a name for itself in the world of comics since their start in 1999, they have developed huge franchises and they have taken the proper risks to create a brand that can challenge the iconic legends. Now, with their entrance into the graphic novels battle ground, they are releasing a beloved classic into a world that should fit the works of Hunter S. Thompson like a glove.

“I’m so pleased that one of the first collaborative projects to come out of the Top Shelf/ IDW relationship will be Troy Little’s inspired take on a true classic of American literature,” said Top Shelf Editor-In-Chief Chris Staros in a press release. “One of the most unforgettable writers turned loose in one of my favorite cities! We can’t wait to show you what Troy’s done with it.”
If you have not read this classical work of Hunter S. Thompson, buy the ticket and take the ride. The original novel and 1998 Terry Gilliam film are readily available online. The Troy Little’s graphic novel adaptation is set to be released this month. For more information on the release go to  Top Shelf Productions Official Site

Over the past few years, the most thankless job in Hollywood has been hosting the Academy Awards. There have been many that have tried and left before they could be asked if they would like to return, from Neil Patrick Harris to the much underrated Seth MacFarlane, this is a dream job that brings on a nightmare of a hangover. So the question has been asked and the host of the 88th Academy Awards has been revealed, Chris Rock will be taking the stage.

This will be a return visit for Rock, as he hosted this event back in 2005, and will definitely give the proper shock to the normal Academy Awards viewer and critics system. As Rock has grown into the creatively mind behind the camera and continues to be the top level performer in front of the camera, Rock still has the heart of a stand-up comic and that has been missing from the OSCAR stage.

The 88th Academy Award Nomination will be announced on January 14th 2016
The 88th Academy Awards will air February 28th 2016

I was recently invited to the Los Angeles premieres for two great short films, MASSACRE and The West Files. The event took place at Busby’s East and it turned out to be an amazing night, the films were great and I had the opportunity to talk with a few people behind these productions.

(AUDIO) Nowhere California Presents Our Coverage Of The West Files And MASSACRE LA Premiere

In genre that can be easily crowded with mindless blood spilling, MASSACRE is a twisted and refreshing sight on the screen. Pandie wrote and Erik Boccio constructed a whirlwind of a short film. This short hits every point a full length independent feature can only wish to hit.

The West Files, as a short film, was a funny and inventive watch. The West Files, as a television series, needs to happen. In a short period of time, the story is built and each character is developed enough to make you want more.

We will keep you posted on any new development that occur with these projects and, hopefully, we will have another opportunity to talk with the talents behind these productions.

As we continue to build this site and look back the history of Nowhere California, it still surprises us the things we have pulled off and the people we have met. The time we talked with the talented Robin Shelby is a great example of both of those things.

Robin Shelby, for those new to our world, was the actress that performed as Slimer in the 1989 classic “Ghostbusters II” and this performance brought our first interaction, through the ECTO POD Podcast..

After this conversation, we wanted another chance to talk with Robin about her fascinating career and what lead her to this world. So, with the idea, the guys from nowhere ventured outside of the Nowhere city limits and met this amazing individual in person.

Here is our conversation…
