Buster Bluth could never carry a TV show. The hook-handed mama's boy, Awol private, and Bluth sibling most arrested in his development was simply not main character material. He wasn't even the main character of his own life! How could he be, while caught in the shadow of at least one Lucille? It's difficult to imagine a sitcom built around this runt of the litter, played to maladjusted perfection by Tony Hale. Or it would be, were it not for "Off the Hook," a.ka. the Arrested Development episode that forced fans to imagine that very scenario — to sit through 36 very long minutes of almost nothing but Buster.

We have a very eclectic mix of Blu-rays for you in this latest Blu-ray column. In fact, I can't remember a time when I've rounded up such an odd assortment of films. Not only do we have the new 4K release of "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre," but we also have the animated "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish," the beautiful drama "The Remains of the Day," and Dario Argento's "Phenomena" just to cap things off. Like I said: eclectic.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 4K
Often copied, never duplicated, there will never be anything like "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" again. Even after all these years, Tobe Hooper's tale of some travelers who run afoul of a cannibal family is terrifying. Why? Because it feels like something we shouldn't be seeing. The rough, raw style makes the entire movie feel like a documentary; like someone created a...

Music mogul Dr. Dre has been making hit records since his time in the N.W.A. But one of his most highly anticipated albums, Detox, never saw the light of day. And Dre’s inability to complete the record once made him second-guess himself as an artist.
Dr. Dre spent years working on ‘Detox’ Dr. Dre | Mike Coppola/FilmMagic
Detox was supposed to be Dre’s third solo studio album after his highly successful sophomore feature 2001. The album was going to feature several well-known hip-hop artists at the time. Some of his own signed artists like 50 Cent and Eminem would also contribute to Detox.
Dre aimed to make Detox stand out from his previous albums by telling a coherent story on the record. Rumors floated around at the time that Detox would be inspired by the film Training Day, which he had a small role in.

Following Friday’s sixth episode, Mariah Balenciaga sits down to report on a “golden gals” challenge after being eliminated for one on “All Stars 5.” Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their recap of episode 6, Mariah says if she was on this cast she would have liked to work in a girl group with Sasha Colby, Salina EsTitties and Anetra and would have preferred to be in the country genre. They think that none of the girls wanting country showed their lack of experience in knowing what would work well for the show, but ultimately the genre doesn’t matter as much as knowing what to do with what you’re given.

Nothing is throwing Lil Baby off his game. On his latest single, “Heyy,” the rapper keeps his eyes on the prize, dismissing petty drama in favor of adhering to the lessons he was taught growing up.
In the accompanying music video, directed by Ivan Berrios, Lil Baby basks in a luxurious empire of his own making. Surrounded by women, money, and a dozen copies of himself, the Atlanta native recounts the humble advice that got him there: “Take some, only when you need it/You won’t make it far...

Lil Baby has dropped a new video for his hard-hitting track, “Detox,” and announced his long-awaited new album, It’s Only Me, out Oct. 14.
The visual for the Nick Papz-produced track finds Lil Baby operating a chaotic Boiler Room-esque brokerage — Wolf of Sparks. St, an Atlanta-related nod to The Wolf of Wall Street, is written out on a whiteboard alongside stock market numbers — as well as sparring in a boxing ring and, in a moment of quiet contemplation, teaching at a yoga studio.

Netflix is gearing up for a busy end to 2022.
September seems to be a calm before the storm-of-sorts – the storm being a deluge of films set to be awards contenders when Oscar season rolls around.

Elsewhere, there is a bunch of non-Netflix films set to be added over the course of the month, as well as the return of everyone’s favourite Karate Kid spin-off TV series.
