Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut Arroe Collins

From three-time Newbery Honoree Christina Soontornvat and award-winning historian Erika Lee comes a middle grade nonfiction that shines a light on the generations of Asian Americans who have transformed the United States and who continue to shape what it means to be American. It begins centuries before America even exists as a nation. It is connected to the histories of Western conquest and colonialism. It’s a story of migration; of people and families crossing the Pacific Ocean in search of escape, opportunity, and new beginnings. It is also the story of race and racism. Of being labeled an immigrant invasion, unfit to become citizens, and being banned, deported, and incarcerated. Of being blamed for bringing diseases into the country.It is also a story of bravery and hope. It is the story of heroes who fought for equality in the courts, on the streets, and in the schools, and who continue to fight in solidarity with others doing the same. This book is a stirring account of the ordinary people and extraordinary acts that made Asian America and the young people who are remaking America today.

The horror movie Late Night With the Devil, already seen as one of the best of 2024 so far, is in theaters now and will be streaming on Shudder starting April 19th. The below trailer for Late Night With the Devil is packed with rave reviews, with positive comments from both Stephen King and Kevin Smith notably featured in it.King raves that the film is "absolutely brilliant," adding that he couldn't take his eyes off it. Smith, meanwhile, comments, "I love it. It's Rosemary's Baby meets Network."David Dastmalchian (Dune, The Suicide Squad) stars as the host of a late-night talk show that descends into a nightmare in the Ghostwatch and WNUF Halloween Special-inspired film. IFC Films & Shudder released Late Night with the Devil theatrically on March 22 before it heads to Shudder exclusively on April 19, 2024. David Dastmalchian stars as Jack Delroy, the charismatic host of "Night Owls," and the film traces the ill-fated taping of a live Halloween special in 1977 plagued by a demonic presence. The energetic and innovative feature hails from Australian writing-directing team Colin and Cameron Cairnes (100 Bloody Acres, Scare Campaign).The film premiered last year at SXSW. Meagan wrote in her review out of the fest, Late Night with the Devil captures the chaotic energy of a late night show, embracing the irreverent comedy and stress of live television with a pastiche style. It's a clever trojan horse for a surprising horror movie that goes full throttle on unhinged demonic mayhem. "The ingenuity, the painstaking period recreation, a riveting performance by Dastmalchian, and a showstopper of a finale make for one Halloween event you won't want to miss." Spooky Pictures founders Roy Lee (It, The Grudge, The Ring) and Steven Schneider (Pet Sematary, Paranormal Activity, Insidious), Derek Dauchy ("Al Kameen") and Future Pictures' Mat Govoni ("Lone Wolf") and Adam White ("Lone Wolf") and John Molloy are all producing. Joel Anderson (Lake Mungo), Rami Yasin, and David Dastmalchian executive produce. Here's that trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrk7HKDeZR8

Growing up in Selma, Ala., Asher was surrounded by gospel singers. President Obama went to Selma in 2015 for a speech commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery in honor of African-American civil rights. Asher auditioned for a spot in the choir that was set to perform John Legend's song "Glory." The choir director was so blown away by Asher that Asher led the choir that day, performing in front of 200,000 people. This was also a turning point for his relationship with his father, whom he's always had a complicated relationship with. A couple of years ago, his father survived a car accident and their relationship grew even stronger. They now talk regularly and he greatly supports Asher's music. It was Asher's mom who really pushed him to sing when he was young. He likes to call her his singing sergeant and is excited to make her proud on "The Voice."
