A funny movie’s one of my favorite ways to spend a Monday evening in LA. Last night I went to a pre-screening of Stop! That! Train! at the CAA offices in Century City, and RuPaul himself (herself?) stopped by to say “hello, hello, hello.” The movie was outrageously stupid (in the best way), so I’ll “give it to ya straight” – make sure to buy tickets when it’s released in theaters this Friday, 6/12!

Or if you’re craving an emotional trainwreck instead…

Phoebe Bridgers haunts Intuit Dome for three nights with Alex G in tow for the most stacked indie Halloween… maybe ever?? Tickets drop this Friday, 6/12 at 10AM, or you can win tickets on us!*
