Comedian Rose Matafeo has kissed nearly 10 men in her life, AKA shes a total horndog. But what is horniness. Is it that intangible essence of excitement and adventure that has inspired humankind since the dawn of time. An understanding of the overwhelming power of love as the key to true personal flourishing. Or is it simply wanting to have sex with everyone, all the time. Join this 27-year-old New Zealander Pisces as she talks about love, obsession, self-esteem, life in the early 2000s, and the apps that just wont leave her alone. While Matafeos first HBO Max stand-up special may or may not deliver on the horniness, it will definitely be one to remember.

One of the few (if any at the time this film was made) films shot in England with New York Citys Little Italy as the locale. This was Edward Dmytryks first film after he had refused to tell a Congressional Committee whether or not he was, or had ever been, a member of the Communist Party. This is a runaway production shot in England for political reasons and not for the usual USA tax-break reasons. Geremio, a young Italian immigrant to New York City, works as a bricklayer and is courting an Italian girl, Annunziata, by mail. He lies to her that he owns his own home and, after they are married, has to rent one for their three-day honeymoon. The years pass and they are unable to save enough money to get out of their slum tenement, and the 1929 depression brings even harder times to the family that now includes three children. Geremio, in order to make enough money to care for his family, exploits his comrades in dangerous construction work. This practice leads to the accidental death of his best friend, and, in grief, Geremio also becomes unfaithful to his wife. The messages of the film -- life is aimless and no man can judge the true worth of another man -- are pounded on for most of the two-hour running time.

In the 1950s days of only BBC television, a wet-behind-the-ears producer has the idea of basing a family drama series on a real-life happily married actor couple. Unfortunately he chooses the Fosters, who need the money and so do the show. Actors they may be, but happily married they most surely are not.

David Phillips (Patrick Macnee) is running down the darkened streets of Londons Limehouse district, pursued by two men with guns. He finds a public phone and puts a call through to Dick Barton (Don Stannard), but before he can report, a shot rings out. Barton must piece together what Phillips found out that got him killed. Phillips had been assigned to protect Professor Mitchell (Percy Walsh) and his new development, a ray capable of exploding any unstable element aboard an aircraft in flight. Mitchell has been targeted for kidnapping by Serge Volkoff (Meinhart Maur), a foreign agent from Eastern Europe, as part of a larger, much more sinister plot to destroy England and cripple Western Europe. Complicating matters further is that Mitchells daughter (Joyce Linden) has also been kidnapped, and Barton must contend with Volkoffs crafty female companion Anna (Tamara Desni).
