We all have that one friend that gives us carte blanche to be silly, spontaneous, inappropriate, to gross each other out, and make each other howl with laughter. Pipe in some original music, scripted sequiturs, and point a camera at it, and that’s the genesis of Rhett & Link boiled down to its raw essence. Childhood friends, Rhett McLaughlin and Charles Lincoln “Link” Neal III capitalized on that chemistry, developing an inspired and hilarious YouTube channel that allowed them to embrace their shared brand of humor as “Internetainers.” “We coined the moniker “internetainer” very early on in our YouTube career. We …

The Jacksonville Film Festival seems like it’s starting to make a modest comeback, screening such films as ’s I am Going to Kill Someone This Friday. The film fest is largely defunct, but the non-profit under that name is looking to hold screenings throughout the year. Durden Godfrey is a Jacksonville director, working with Jacksonville talent and shooting in Jacksonville. He’s known for his music videos and slasher type films. This film is less straightforward, more of a psychological thriller with slasher elements. The crowd that came out was a mixed one both in dress and attitude: Bikers in evening …

Mofro co-founder Daryl Hance has a new video for the song “Inside” from 2016’s Wild Blue Iris album. Should be good for a few laughs! It’s a comedy performance piece and another loose tribute to the Beastie Boys’ style of video making. Even had the gear on with the sweats and knit cap, but only because it was really cold. He had a pretty good time making this one. Inside is kind of a serious song, but he’s always more for making videos that are in the comedy/parody/satire realm if it lends itself to that. A couple shows coming up this week… 2/16 – Lake Shore Bar – Jacksonville, FL …
