What’s the point? I called it without ever having seen any video of him rapping, but it’s pretty clear that Joaquin Phoenix’s self-imposed retirement from acting to pursue a career as a rapper is a hoax. As soon as the news broke that his brother-in-law Casey Affleck would be directing a documentary about his decision, […]

According to JayDoc organizer Faith Butler, we raised somewhere around $20,000 for the Kansas City free healthcare clinic at the Uptown Theater.

Adapted from a self-help book the film does take a (at least occasionally) funny look at how women regard […]
