Return to rock
Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese light up HBO with ‘Vinyl’
By Kyla Brewer TV MediaI t’s only rock ‘n’ roll, but he likes it. In the 1970s, The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger was one of the most recognizable and influential figures in the music industry, rubbing elbows with other icons of the day. So who better to consult for a TV series about the hedonistic era?
Jagger serves as an executive producer for HBO’s much-talkedabout new series “Vinyl,” which premieres Sunday, Feb. 14. Set in 1973, the gritty drama created by Terence Winter (“The Sopranos,” “Boardwalk Empire”) stars Bobby Cannavale (“Boardwalk Empire”) as Richie Finestra, the founder of a record company on the brink of collapse.
In the debut episode, Finestra experiences a personal crisis after a meeting with a German company interested in buying his American Century Records label goes awry. As he sets out to revive his business and rediscover his love of rock ‘n’ roll, he has an epiphany of sorts about the kind of music he’s after.
“It’s fast, it’s dirty, it smashes you over the head — that’s rock ‘n’ roll,” states Cannavale’s Finestra in a promo for the series.
“Vinyl” has created a lot of buzz, and not just because of Jagger. Academy Award-winning director and Hollywood heavyweight Martin Scorsese (“The Departed,” 2006) is also linked to the project as both an executive producer and director of the show’s cinematic two-hour premiere.
The two men worked together on the 2008 documentary “Shine a Light” about The Rolling Stones, during which he and Jagger discussed the singer’s idea for a film about the music industry, an idea that had been years in the making for Jagger.
“Vinyl,” however, isn’t biographical. At the Jan. 15 premiere of the series in New York, Jagger told the U.K.’s Daily Mail MailOnline: “It’s a fictional series, but, of course, there’s an amalgam of people that I knew, characters that existed — we took a lot of real
characters, made amalgams of them, mixed them all up and came out with the ones we did.”
Real-life early punk rock group New York Dolls factors heavily in the premiere as Finestra discovers their unique sound when he wanders into the Mercer Arts Center.
Noah Bean appears as David Bowie in episode 6, which has a memorial card at the end to honor the late singer and friend of Jagger’s. Other artists rumored to be represented in the series include Lou Reed, Elvis Presley and John Lennon.
Real and fictional, it’s quite a cast of characters. In addition to Emmy winner Cannavale as Finestra, the period drama stars stunner Olivia Wilde (“House”) as Richie’s wife, Devon, a former model and actress who was once a part of Andy Warhol’s Factory scene. Emmy winner Ray Romano (“Everybody Loves Raymond”) makes a departure from comedy as Zak Yankovich, a partner at American Century who works in Finestra’s shadow. Ato Essandoh (“Elementary”) plays Lester Grimes, a former singer who has a history with Finestra.
None other than Mick Jagger’s son, James Jagger (“Sex & Drugs &
Rock & Roll,” 2010), plays Kip Stevens, lead singer of cutting edge band The Nasty Bits scouted by ambitious A&R assistant Jamie Vine (Juno Temple, “Atonement,” 2007), while Andrew Dice Clay (“Entourage”) appears in a recurring role as Frank “Buck” Rogers, the owner of a chain of radio stations who causes Finestra grief when he threatens to boycott American Century.
Led by Cannavale, the ensemble cast brings to life a cross-section of the 1970s rock ‘n’ roll subculture. Featuring a heady mix of sex, drugs and violence, “Vinyl” is not for the faint of heart, even for fans of the often-controversial HBO. The carefully created sets and lavish costumes give the series a genuine 1970s vibe, and are reminiscent of the movies that defined Scorsese in that same era, such as “Mean Streets” (1973) and “Taxi Driver” (1976). In fact, the director even inserted previously unseen footage from “Taxi Driver” into a scene in which Finestra drives through New York to give it authenticity.
That kind of nostalgia is intoxicating, and few do it better than Scorsese, big screen or small. “Vinyl” has an unmistakable big-
screen feel, which makes sense given Scorsese and Jagger initially tried to develop the concept as a film entitled “The Long Play.” Without funding, they switched gears to television and, with Winter’s help, began work on the project’s final iteration.
Scorsese has worked with Winter before. He previously directed the debut episode of Winter’s critically acclaimed “Boardwalk Empire,” which earned a whopping 57 Emmy nominations over the course of its five-season run. (Incidentally, Cannavale won a 2013 Emmy for his role as Gyp Rosetti in that series.) Even coming from HBO, the combination of “Vinyl’s” Jagger, Scorsese, Winter and Cannavale is huge.
The ambitious series is nothing short of a trip back in time that — in Finestra’s words — “[shows] people how rock ‘n’ roll is supposed to make you feel.” Don’t miss a beat — check out “Vinyl” beginning Sunday, Feb. 14, on HBO.

TRAV Bizarre Foods America
By Andrew Warren TV MediaAh, food! It brings people together like nothing else does. But in Bravo’s latest cooking competition, it also turns people into dirty liars. The show is “Recipe for Deception,” and it’s currently airing Thursday evenings. Hosted by comedian Max Silvestri (“Don’t Walk”), its basic premise sounds pretty familiar: two pairs of chefs square off in a face-to-face cooking battle, each using their own mystery ingredient, with the winner of each duel then battling the other winners for the distinction of being named that episode’s champion — not to mention
walking away with a fat $10,000 prize.
Simple, right? Not so fast. “Recipe of Deception” can be deceptive in its familiarity. That mystery ingredient that the chefs have to cook with? Yeah, they don’t even know what it is!
Luckily for the clueless contestants, they’re each told which mystery ingredient their opponent needs to be using, and each round of competition starts off with a classic game of “two truths and a lie.”
Each chef gets a chance to ask his or her opponent three questions about this secretive mystery ingredient, and the opponent must answer two of them truthfully — but only two.
With the judges — chefs Jonathan Waxman (“Top Chef Masters”) and Chris Oh (“The Great Food Truck Race”) — determining not only the entire dish’s quality but also its use of the secret ingredient, figuring out what it could be before the clock runs out is a top priority for the contestants.
There’s even an element of espionage in the mix. If a chef loses his duel, that’s not the end: in the third and final round, as the two previous
winners go head to head, the two defeated chefs are given inside knowledge of the secret ingredients — knowledge that they can share for a slice of the $10,000 pie the winner gets.
It’s a classic cooking competition with a unique twist that makes it unlike anything else on television, at least when it comes to cooking shows. “Recipe for Deception,” Bravo’s latest culinary offering, airs Thursday evenings.
Andrew explores the food of South Savannah, which is influenced by rich culture.

Steve Jobs
The year is 1984, and Apple cofounder Steve Jobs is riding high after the successful launch of the Macintosh computer. Behind the spotlight, though, lives a troubled man who humiliates and belittles his subordinates, alienates Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak and refuses to acknowledge his daughter from his ex-girlfriend, Chrisann. Over the course of the next several years, as Jobs launches three different computer products at two different companies, his personal relationships and ambitions push him to become one of the fathers of the modern digital computing age.

The 33
Mario Sepúlveda is, along with 32 others, a gold miner from the Chilean city of Copiapó who becomes trapped deep beneath the Earth’s surface when the mine shaft collapses. In the rescue chamber, they find an empty first aid kit, a nonfunctional radio and very little food. Back on the surface, public
outrage grows as news of the mining company’s horrible safety record spreads, and the government vows to find any survivors and bring them home to their families in this true story based on the 2010 disaster.
