You might know him better from your all-weekend binge of Stranger Things Season 2 as Billy -- the rough and tumble new guy with a fluffy mullet and unbuttoned shirt. He strolled into Hawkins, Ind. with his cool car, a pack

This article is part of an on-going original series written by Caitlyn Jenner for WhoSay called "The Real Me," which explores issues and people in the Lgbt community. Caitlyn Jenner says that before she came out as a transgender woman, she had "totally isolated" herself from the trans community. Meeting others like her, she says, has been "an eye-opening experience." Touched by their harrowing but often inspiring stories of survival, Jenner, 65, partnered with WhoSay to release a series of editorials called "The Real Me" that shine a light on the issues and people in the Lgbt community.

Hello friends. Caitlyn here.

This article is part of an on-going original series written by Caitlyn Jenner for WhoSay called "The Real Me," which explores issues and people in the Lgbt community. Hello friends. Caitlyn here. As the first season of my show, I Am Cait, comes to end, I find myself reflecting on my journey so far and just how rewarding it has been. My experience over the last four months has been incredible. Many people have come up to me and told me their stories. It turns out lots of you have friends or family members who are transgender. Who knew? I never would have had these conversations if I had not come out publicly and finally lived my truth. For so long, people—myself included—were embarrassed to talk...

Earlier this year, after Caitlyn Jenner revealed that she is transgender, the 65-year-old Olympian said she hopes to use her celebrity status as a platform to help others. The article below is part of an on-going original series written by Jenner for WhoSay called "The Real Me," which will explore issues and people in the Lgbt community. This week, she answers a fan's question about a possession close to her heart—the gold medal she won for the decathlon at the 1976 Summer Olympics. "Where Do I Keep My Gold Medal?" by Caitlyn Jenner Hello friends! I hope your week is off to an awesome start. I've been going through all of the messages that you've sent me, and I'm overwhelmed by...

If you've ever dreamed about getting Chris Pratt's attention, we have some great news: the actor said the "sky's the limit" on the accolades he'll shower upon the lucky fan who wins his new competition. Chris took to Facebook on Friday to announce the contest, asking fans for help creating a new header for his page. No pressure or anything, but the winning design might be seen by the 2.2 million - and counting - people who follow him on Facebook. "Who's gonna get me the best one and have their name displayed for millions of people to see?" Chris wrote in his hilarious note. There's also a chance he might throw in a "free dinner at applebees." (No word on whether he would join you for a basket of ribs.) Hello friends and fans. I am in the market for a new header for my Fb page. I want to do a contest.

During pilot season, the networks try out a multitude of different shows before ultimately deciding which ones to pick up for more episodes. Some of these go on to be hits, but we almost never see the pilots that didn't get picked up. Enter "Super Clyde," a comedy pilot from My Name Is Earl 's Greg Garcia about a young boy that inherits a lot of money and wants to use it as a force for good. Set to star Harry Potter 's Rupert Grint and famed British comedian Stephen Fry, the pilot ultimately went nowhere, but in a rare move CBS has put the pilot online. You can watch the pilot in its entirety by clicking here . In addition, here's a statement from Greg Garcia on the pilot: Hello Friends, I shot a pilot for CBS called Super Clyde this spring and it didn.t...

Rupert Grint's American television debut in "Super Clyde" won't be airing any time soon, but CBS was kind enough to put the pilot episode of the show online anyway. The superhero-influenced sitcom stars the "Harry Potter" alum as the show's titular character.

"Super Clyde's" pilot, which can be viewed here, was put online at the request of creator Greg Garcia. He sent out an email explaining why he chose to make the pilot episode available to viewers. It can be read below:

"Hello Friends,

"I shot a pilot for CBS called Super Clyde this spring and it didn't wind up on their fall schedule. But the good people at CBS have been kind enough to make the pilot available online.

"I'm really proud of this show. Mike Fresco did an amazing job directing and the cast is great. Rupert Grint, Stephen Fry, Tyler Labine and Justine Lupe.

"If...

TV networks and studios almost never make pilots that hadn’t gone to series available to the public. In a rare exception, CBS has put Greg Garcia‘s single-camera pilot Super Clyde up online. (You can watch it here.) The move is a result from a request by Garcia, who sent out an email tonight announcing the pilot’s availability. Super Clyde was one of two pilots Garcia had at CBS this past season, with the other, the multi-camera The Millers, getting a series order. Super Clyde stars Harry Potter‘s Rupert Grint as a shy comic book fanatic who discovers his calling after he inherits millions of dollars from his eccentric uncle. Clyde, a mild-mannered fast-food worker, is bequeathed $100,000 per month for the rest of his life, and — with the help of his butler, Randolph (Stephen Fry) — begins his thrilling new life as a superhero, secretly helping strangers in need.

Hello Friends of Frank! Just recently we brought you the news that at San Diego Comic-Con Tom Jane, Tim Bradstreet, and the Raw Studios crew sent a room full of Punisher fans into a tizzy when they screened a short film about a bad ass stranger cleaning up the streets – only to have it revealed that said stranger was Frank Castle, The Punisher! Telling you about it was one thing, but how would you like to actually see it? You’re in luck, true believer, because we’ve managed to get a hold of the video and you can check it out right here, right now: likely for a limited time, so act fast! “I wanted to make a fan film for a character I’ve always loved and believed in – a love letter to Frank Castle & his fans. It was an incredible experience with everyone on the project throwing in their time just for the fun...

Hello friends. Your mission, should you choose to accept it (Which You Will Cause I Said So) is to go see "Drive" this weekend. There is no other movie playing in theaters. Nope, not one. There, this column is over. Done! "Drive" is all there is to see. Worth seeing anyway. And I would be remiss if I didn't champion truly original and excellent filmmaking in this column. Do not go see "Lion King 3D." We are not children (if you are a child, why are you reading this? Stop now). Don't you remember that talk we had back when…...

Hello friends! I read the stats, I know I might have overloaded a few of you with my Mj series of videos. But the week before I might have overloaded you with too much text. Either I’m overloading you or not curating as well as I should, because I think Cycle 3 might be the last in 6 Things W/Da7e. I’ll come up with something y’all actually want to see/hear every week and then I’ll do That. This week, I’m going to take it light and easy for your Labor Day Weekend. Summer is over and we’re all a little sad, so we’re going to BBQ, drink during the afternoons and watch Football while all those things are an option. This weekend, you might want to make some comfort drinks like Ecto Cooler or check your e-mail and maybe watch a prank.

Cinema Retro has received the following notice from Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Hollywood:

Hello friends,

It has been a great summer here and it has been so cool to meet so many mailing list/ facebook friends that are out here enjoying California on vacation.

Also, a big thank you to all of you we've seen at our various signings and events here or at the Egyptian. It is such a pleasure always.

Hello friends. As many of you know, I'm freakishly excited for The Dark Knight Rises. The further Nolan and crew get into shooting, the more photos and videos are leaking, as well as plot spoilers. Here's the thing- I totally respect that some of you want to be surprised, but I also see that posts about The Dark Knight Rises get hits. So what do you want? Spoilers or no? Photos? Videos? Take the poll below and I will do my best to please you (in a strictly internet relationship kind of way...wait that didn't sound right either...).

Do you want more 'Dark Knight Rises' video/pictures/spoilers?

Hello friends, and welcome to Cycle Three of 6 Things W/Da7e! I’ll be back, taking you through 6 Things of interest per week between here and November, before I have to hibernate and compile a list of interesting things. And what better way to get back into the swing of things than discuss two things I like more than most: Sci-Fi and Time Travel. Specifically, I’m going to be looking at Star Trek: The Next Generation, which recently had it’s entire run made available to me on Netflix Watch Instantly. Tng, as I’ll refer to it from here on out, was the second Gene Roddenberry Trek Series and arguably the most successful incarnation of Roddenberry’s Utopian society trekking into the stars. The new crew of Captain Picard, Commander Riker, Lieutenants Worf and Data, Counsellor Deanna Troi, Doctor Beverly Crusher and Levar Burton from Reading Rainbow...

Hello friends, ill-wishers and people that clicked over here by accident.Is the ad to the right of the page cutting off the last words of the line for you, or is my browser being crappy on weekly basis? Not that I'm particularly eloquent or a fan of complete sentences. I write like a constipated man feasting on Taco Bell: brief potent nuggets followed by the run(on-sentences)s.Anywho.

Hello friends of IFC! I am Stacey Brook, music journalist, culture lover, rock poster addict, and overly-caffeinated festivalgoer. The inimitable Brandon Kim was unfortunately unable to make it out to Austin for SXSW this year, thus I have been entrusted with the honor of reporting to you from this fair desert city, where the taco trucks outnumber the general population, and where the sweet sounds of rock and roll seep out from behind every bar door.

Over the next few days I will bring you coverage of everything from the most exclusive showcases, to unexpectedly powerful performances by an eclectic mix of bands worthy of your recognition. Look forward to recaps of the IFC Crossroad House's coveted performances, as well as breaking news and announcements from the festival. From early morning until I turn into a pumpkin (usually around 3am), my ears will be perked to uncover this year's finest...

Simon Pegg has sent a live message into space on behalf of the planet. The actor narrated the signal during Lauren Laverne's show on BBC 6 Music as part of an ongoing series from the station, which has received support from astronomer Patrick Moore. Introducing The Beatles' 1966 track 'Tomorrow Never Knows', Pegg said: "Hello friends. My name is Simon, and on behalf of the residents of Planet Earth in all their splendour and variation, it is my great privilege to extend the hand of friendship to you across the galaxy. "We live on a small blue planet, third in line away from a large yellow star in what we refer to as the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Please feel free to stop by any time if your technology permits." He (more)...

Hello Friends, welcome to the latest installment of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo news. It’s been a quite week for the upcoming David Fincher film, but hey, we actually have some casting news to report this time around!

While the search for Lisbeth Salander continues, another role has been filled in the film. Variety is reporting that Stellan Skarsgard has entered negotiations to play Martin Vanger. Well, Skarsgard more specifically said:

I have met Fincher, I want to work with him, he wants to work me. I have had a concrete offer and now we are in negotiations.

We have one Vanger and we can, more or less, count the days until Max von Sydow signs on to play Henrik Vanger.

In the article, Skarsgard let loose a few other details regarding the project:

He’s contracted to work from September to March, but doesn’t know when...

Zz Top will headline a concert in Chile in May to benefit victims of the devastating earthquake that shook the country in February.

Billy Gibbons, singer for the band, recorded a special video in Spanish to announce the concert.

“Hello friends, I’m Billy from the band Zz Top,” he said. “The whole world knows about the effects caused by the earthquake that happened in your beautiful country. We know that the Chilean spirit can never be broken and that right now it is stronger than ever. Zz will be in Santiago on May 18 at the Movistar arena. We hope that you can join us for a special night.”

Hello friends,

Just a quick note to let you all know that Korbi TV is on hiatus for the holidays...

I'll be back after Christmas and intend to attack midseason with full force.

Much to look forward to with "Life UneXpected" starting on The CW, "Make It Or Break It" returning to ABC Family, someone dying on "Desperate" -- Do you know who it is? It's sort of obvious I think -- "Lost" heading into its swan song, et cetera et cetera.

Can you let me know in the comment section what you're most looking forward to and what you want me to cover, so I can start stalking the producers sooner than later?

Many thanks.

Wishing you all a very Merry Chrismukkah.

Will see you next week!

From my inbox from Kevin Craig West a fellow New York-based filmmaker/actor who I’ve worked with before.

Hello Friends – Hope this finds you doing wonderfully. I am working with a feature film titled Indelible that is 70% complete.

Hello friends. Due to the Labor Day holiday and because even your intrepid podcast team needs a day off now and then, we won’t be having a podcast this week. Sorry for the inconvenience. We will return next week with a brand new episode of The Flickcast, so be sure and be here for that.

To help you pass the time until next week’s show, be sure to check out a few of our previous episodes we think feature us at our best. Or, at least, are not quite as embarrassing as the others. Plus, take a nostalgic listen to how it all began by going back and reliving the glory that was our very first episode.

Until next week, thanks for listening. We appreciate it.
