ZO: Haitian Kreyol word meaning bone; strong as a bone. A person with the strength and will to succeed beyond any obstacle.
In 1758, after killing thousands of slave masters and collaborators, Francois Mackandal is captured and set on fire in the town square of Cap-Français, Saint-Domingue in front of thousands of witnesses, including a young boy named François-Dominique Toussaint L’ouverture. Years later, Toussaint finds himself on the precipice of change, haunted by the ghost of Mackandal, and influenced by the voodoo gods. Reluctantly, he takes his position at the forefront of one of history’s most violent revolutions and becomes its greatest leader.
The largest slave uprising since Spartacus' unsuccessful revolt against the Roman Republic nearly 1,900 years earlier, The Haitian Revolution led to the founding of a state which was both free from slavery and ruled by non-whites and former captives. Far from a standard historical drama, ZO is their epic story of bloody war, diasporic voodoo, magic realism, blunt violence, international politics and even romance.

A classic American drug story right up there with Nikki Sixx's autobiography or the Hunter S. Thompson story, THE MENACE OF VENICE introduces us to renegade/freak/bodybuilder/ chemist/outlaw Dan Duchaine, who, operating out of garages and basements stuffed with shoeboxes full of hundred-dollar bills, experimented on the fanatical "Arnoldista" chemical kamikazes of the Californian bodybuilding scene, many of whom were selling their bodies to sugar daddies and making gay porn videos to support their habits.
Chock full of mad geniuses, drug dealers, smugglers, underground gurus, self-taught chemists, deviants, narcissists, human guinea pigs, cheaters and liars, the uninitiated will be amazed that a sociopath like Dan Duchaine could have had an influence on everything from the explosion of steroids and human growth hormones, to the creation of the drugs at the heart of the BALCO Labs scandal.

In this alternate universe, when Rocky screamed for Adrian at the end of the movie, a shy, bespectacled young man rushed into his arms to embrace him in the center of the ring instead of Talia Shire… in “Casblanca”, Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) gruffly reminded Captain Louis Renault (Claud Rains) that “they’ll always have Paris” instead of saying it to Isla Lund (Ingrid Bergman). Donald Trump’s “First Man” was Rudy Guiliani. And Elton John stayed devotedly married to his wife, Renate Blauel, for over forty years…
In this world, where being gay is the standard and "breeders" are the "abnormal" alternative lifestyle, Valerie and Marty meet and fall in love almost by accident… defying cultural norms and society’s expectations while confusing their friends, families and everyone around them.
A classic, traditional rom-com about an engaged man who unexpectedly meets the perfect woman, NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT flips love and comedy on its head with a familiar mixture of genuine laughter, cutting insight and sugar-free warmth.

The white-maned Contessa Annika Malikova is a wealthy socialite—the last scion of a noble Russian line currently claiming political refuge in America—but also a secret deadly assassin (codenamed “Baboushka”).
Blackmailed by an enigmatic U.S. security agency to carry out jobs too dirty for even the CIA to sanction, the bad-ass and fully self-reliant Baboushka finds herself circling the globe proving to the government that her tendency towards violence and mayhem means they probably shouldn’t trust her with delivering a Christmas card, much less a sensitive international operation.
Based on the popular Image Comics series CODENAME: BABOUSHKA from writer Antony Johnston (THE COLDEST CITY, adapted into the feature film ATOMIC BLONDE), BABOUSHKA is a stylish, suspenseful, and darkly comic actioner filled with glamour, guns, messy personal relationships, and high-octane explosions.

Sharing DNA with other prestige series like BOARDWALK EMPIRE and THE KNICK, the ferociously unsparing drama of IRON ROAD is a window into the construction of the transcontinental railroad and the formation of San Francisco’s first Chinatown—menacingly tinted with the hardships of the Chinese people and imbued with all of the sinister vices of that world’s opium, gambling, and prostitution rings, as well as its rampant gang violence and vigilante justice.
A ruthlessly poetic mix of opulence and horror, this show sweeps across California (from the mining operations of the Sierra Nevada Goldfields to the brothels and opium dens of Chinatown’s underworld to the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad) with a built-in, organizing metaphor: that the rise of Chinatown was no different than the rise of America, with both predicated on relentless forward evolution.
Because IRON ROAD isn’t just the story of America’s first Chinese immigrants… it's the story of an American family.

A deep, investigative dive into the revised science of meat (by way of The Carnivore Diet), and modern Vegan propaganda/disinformation, as well as serious discussions revolving around the complete overhaul and reform of animal agriculture, MEATHEADS tackles a controversial subject that is sure to hit the zeitgeist in its gut and get the entire nation talking.
Like his other documentaries (BIGGER STRONGER FASTER, PRESCRIPTION THUGS), Chris explores his subjects with the same intensity and sense of humor as his contemporaries Michael Moore and Morgan Spurlock, so no stone is unturned or cow too sacred (pun intended) to fall under the examination of his lens.
MEATHEADS is funny, inspiring, informative and, most importantly, revolutionary.

"If the Army must be called out to make war on unarmed citizens, this is no longer America."
-Washington Daily News, 1932
After the financial crash of 1929, unemployment rates soared. Millions of Americans couldn't afford food or a place to live. World War I veterans, home from the war, were now dying a slow death on U.S. soil. Until one man decided to stand up for change...
Based on shocking true events, THE BONUS ARMY is the story of the 45,000 U.S. veterans led by former soldier Walter W. Waters as they descended on Washington D.C. from all corners of the country to demand an immediate cash payout of their war-time bonuses—bonuses which had been promised to them eight years earlier.
Convinced the march was a communist conspiracy to undermine the government of the United States, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Douglas MacArthur persuaded President Hoover to let him drive the veterans from D.C. with tanks, tear gas, and bayonets. Pennsylvania Avenue burned as the veterans and their families ran for their lives.
Widely considered one of the most shocking acts of veteran violence in the history of the United States, the plot of this 3-PART LIMITED SERIES skillfully weds spectacle with intimacy to tell a story of desperation, determination, anger and honor.

We love flying the friendly skies. Especially when we’re soaring thirty thousand feet in the air, high above the clouds, with angelic beams of sunlight streaming through the windows at us like divine messages from God.
But then the zombies from the cargo hold attack… and that's when it all goes to shit.
A raunchy, gory, and hilarious horror comedy, DEAD AIR plays fast and hard with its genre conventions as a military-created contagion accidentally unleashes an undead nightmare upon the entire crew and passengers of a commercial jumbo jet flying from LAX to Australia—including children, the elderly, annoying wannabe influencers and horny lovebirds looking to join the mile-high club.
With nowhere to run and even fewer places to hide, will our heroes be able to outrace hungry, decomposing death before landing in safe harbor?
Obviously-fucking-not.
