Anson Mount

Listen to "Anson Mount From Hell On Wheels Returns" on Spreaker. Credited for helping to modernize the Western genre when it premiered in 2011, the top-rated, critically acclaimed AMC mainstay, HELL ON WHEELS, reached the end of the line when its final episode aired this past July. Across five captivating seasons, the lavishly produced series tells the story of post-Civil War America, focusing on Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount), a Confederate soldier who sets out to exact revenge on the Union soldiers who killed his wife. When his journey takes him west to Hell on Wheels, a lawless melting pot of a town that travels with and services the construction of the transcontinental railroad, Bohannon finds himself a stranger in a strange land. Chronicling a potent turning point in our nation’s history, HELL ON WHEELS documents the railroad’s engineering and construction, as well as institutionalized corruption, the immigrant experience, the rich history of Chinese workers and the plight of newly emancipated African-Americans during Reconstruction, ultimately showing viewers, week in and week out, just how uncivilized the business of civilization can be. In HELL ON WHEELS: SEASON FIVE, VOLUME 2 – THE FINAL EPISODES (2 discs; Blu-ray/$39.98SRP + DVD/$29.98SRP), Bohannon finds himself in the mountain town of Truckee, Calif., home to the Central Pacific Railroad. This rough and tumble railroad town teems with thousands of Chinese workers, foreign in language, culture and traditions. Despite the challenges of corralling his new workforce, Cullen leads the Herculean effort to tunnel through the Sierra Nevada Mountains, sometimes achieving only inches a day in the race to complete the first Transcontinental Railroad. Across the final seven episodes, the push to finish brings with it a reckoning for Bohannon and the men standing in his path: the bloodthirsty Swede (Christopher Heyerdahl); the mercenary Chang (Byron Mann); and the rapacious Thomas Durant (Colm Meaney). And while the railroad’s completion is certain, who and what will survive when the golden spike is finally planted remains in question - with no one more at risk than Bohannon himself. Across 57 episodes, HELL ON WHEELS: THE COMPLETE SERIES (17 discs; Blu-ray/$149.98SRP + DVD/$119.98SRP) unspools the fan favorite in its entirety. Winner of three consecutive Western Heritage Awards for Outstanding Fictional Drama, this epic 17-disc set delivers more than 40 hours of gritty, award winning entertainment which In Touch Magazine calls “Unforgiven meets Glory”. With the stunning landscapes surrounding Calgary standing in for the epic sweep of the West, HELL ON WHEELS brought the hardscrabble American frontier into living rooms across the country for five compelling seasons. Now, this completists’ box, available in both Blu-ray and DVD formats, gathers the series in one attractive set, giving fans the opportunity to relive this landmark Western again and again. “Hell on Wheels” is executive produced by showrunner John Wirth (“Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” “Falling Skies,” “The Cape”); Paul Kurta (“Veronica Mars,” Empire Records); Michael Rosenberg (“Hung”); Jeremy Gold, EVP Creative Affairs, for Endemol Shine Studios; and Mike Frislev and Chad Oakes from Nomadic Pictures (“Fargo,” “Broken Trail”). eOne's Debra Curtis, SVP Current Programming, and Armand Le

ABOUT VICE PRINCIPALS : SEASON ONE (On Digital HD on 10/17) Called “summer’s best new comedy” (Rolling Stone) when it premiered this July, HBO’s VICE PRINCIPALS got straight A’s as HBO’s smash hit darkly comic series starring Danny McBride (“Eastbound & Down,” This Is the End) and Walton Goggins (Emmy® nominee for “Justified”; The Hateful Eight”) hilariously spun the tale of two vice principals competing for the top spot at North Jackson High School. When the longtime principal (Bill Murray in a cameo) of a suburban high school steps down, ambitious vice principals Neal Gamby (McBride) and Lee Russell (Goggins) both set their sights on the vacated top spot – only to see new rival Dr. Belinda Brown enter the picture. Putting their mutual disdain aside, these bitter antagonists form an unholy alliance to bring down the outsider by any means necessary. Created by McBride and Jody Hill, who also created HBO’s “Eastbound & Down,”, VICE PRINCIPALS tells the story of North Jackson High School and the two people who almost run it. VICE PRINCIPALS co-stars Kimberly Hebert Gregory (“Devious Maids”) as Dr. Brown; Georgia King (“The New Normal”) as English teacher Amanda Snodgrass and Busy Phillips (“Cougar Town”) as Gale, Gamby’s hot, trashy ex-wife. Winner of the 2016 Audience Award at SXSW, the first nine episodes of VICE PRINCIPALS: SEASON ONE will be available on Digital HD on October 17th.

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 45

Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 45" on Spreaker. A Day Of Doubt. It's a label. Not a name calling. But a calling out. Those feelings you get when doubt seems to be painting the path of your incoming new day. A Day of Doubt. When you take what you're presently holding and set it aside because your confidence has been dented by the realms of a reality you can't change. But is it dangerous to give such a feeling a name? Now it seems like everything is a Day Of Doubt. That's not true. But identifying the moment. You're allowed to locate strength in the present. Call it by name. Let it know you know its face. Rebuilding your confidence doesn't steal from your dream.
