Chicago – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on The Eddie Volkman Show on Wssr-fm on October 16th, 2020, reviewing a new Netflix Halloween release, “Our House,” plus a preview of the produced-in-Chicago film “The Misadventures of Mistress Maneater.”
Rating: 3.5/5.0
”His House” involves a from-Africa couple (Sope Dirisu and Wunmi Mosaku) who escape from the war torn South Sudan, and is put up as refugees in public housing in London. They have bought their demons with them, however, and it starts to attack them – horror film style – from their tenement housing. Yes, this is a symbolic film, but it’s also pretty creepy, as many images of voodoo and witchery are no doubt rooted in the mystery of Africa.
“His House” is on Netflix beginning October 30th. Featuring Sope Dirisu, Wunmi Mosaku, Javier Botet and Matt Smith. Written by Felicity Evans, Toby Venables and Remi Weekes. Directed by Remi Weekes. Rated “TV-...

Chicago – The culmination of years in sweat and other equity on an independent feature film – slyly entitled “The Misadventures of Mistress Maneater” – has paid off for writer and lead actor Lorrisa Julianus and her husband/director Craig “C.J.” Julianus. The movie will make its debut and will be available for rental or purchase on Amazon Prime Video beginning Friday, October 30th, 2020.
The combination comedy, action and romance film … with a dominatrix character thrown in … is from the mind of Lorrisa Julianus, in a story she developed for over five years. She also portrays that dominatrix named Ava, who hates the nickname expressed in the title. Ava is really an Art History PhD candidate, who longs for the big find so she can finish her thesis. Enter Radovan (Mickey O’Sullivan), a Serbian expatriate who is also an Episcopalian priest. When Ava finds out that a mob loan is due, Radovan...

Chicago P.D.’s Lisseth Chavez is set as a new series regular in the upcoming sixth season of season 6 of the CW’s DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. The Warner Bros. TV-produced superhero drama moved in to cast Chavez shortly after she became available following a season-long stint as a series regular on NBC’s Chicago P.D.
Chavez will play Esperanza “Spooner” Cruz. Tough and self-sufficient, Spooner Cruz lives off the grid, devising ingenious tech for the detection of — and defense against — space aliens. And while some might call her paranoid, she calls it being prepared. A survivor of a childhood alien encounter, Spooner now believes she has the ability to communicate telepathically with aliens — making her the perfect recruit for Waverider captains Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), Ava Sharpe (Jes Macallan) and the Legends who, in season six, will be hunting down extraterrestrials who have been displaced throughout history.
