July 5, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

The three-night The Spoils Before Dying again features “author” Eric Jonrosh (Will Ferrell, also an executive producer), who introduces his story. It’s a pulp-noir murder mystery set in the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles’ jazz scene. Dying follows Rock Banyon (Michael Kenneth Williams) as he becomes the prime suspect in the double murder of his occasional lover Fresno Foxglove (Maya Rudolph), who is found dead with another man.

REELZ to air Donald Trump’s 2015 Miss USA Pageant

July 2, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

While certain brands and personalities have been dumping Donald Trump left and right in the wake of his derogatory statements regarding Mexicans during his presidential campaign announcement — including NBC and Univision opting to no longer air this year’s Miss USA Pageant, a Trump event (NBC has in fact severed all ties with Trump, and The Celebrity Apprentice will continue without him) — at least one outlet is cozying up to The Donald.
