Hollywood film producer and director Reginald Hudlin is the mind and energy behind cult classics “House Party” and “Boomerang” as well as “Marshall,” starring the late Chadwick Boseman. He also has producing credits on the Quentin Taratino film “Django Unchained.” Hudlin credits his interests in the arts to his upbringing in East St. Louis, Illinois. STLPR arts and culture senior reporter Jeremy D. Goodwin sat down with Hudlin to talk about his childhood heroes, his take on how Hollywood’s reception of Black stories have evolved overtime, and his new movie “Candy Cane Lane,” starring Eddie Murphy.
A Democrat on the board slammed the state treasurer, saying the Republican is fighting a culture war by using the state’s 140,000 retirees and current workers.
Over a decade ago, I pointed out that as Google kept trying to worm its way deeper into our lives, a key Achilles’ heel was its basically non-existent customer service and unwillingness to ever engage constructively with users the company fucks over. At the time, I dubbed it Google’s “big, faceless, white monolith” problem, because […]
ALTON – The anonymous gold coin donor has struck again. Over the weekend, a gold coin was placed in The Salvation Army’s red kettle in Wood River. This has happened for many years in Alton and has become an annual tradition. “We are so excited to share that we have been blessed again this year with the gift of a gold coin at the Wood River Walmart,” Captain Cassy Grey announced today. “We are truly grateful for the generosity of this anonymous donor and send you our heartfelt thanks!” Bell ringers are still needed to help The Salvation Army Red Kettle campaign reach its goal of $217,000 to help people in Madison County. As of Dec. 11, 2023, approximately $66,000 has been raised with just 11 ringing days remaining.

WOOD RIVER - What began six months ago as an electronic repair service offered out of Blake Brown’s home has found a new home in a storefront at 305 S. 6th St. in Wood River. BB Electronic Repair & Recycling has been open at the new location for about a month now offering everything its name implies and more. Brown spoke more about the business and its new storefront on a recent episode of Our Daily Show! on Riverbender.com . “I have been messing with electronics since I was a kid. It has been something that has been a passion of mine,” Brown said. “During COVID, I was let go of my job and decided it was time to go ahead and pursue stuff of my own.” When he was first getting started, he described it more as a “side hustle” to make extra money while he tried and struggled to find a job in the industry. Eventually, he decided he was passionate enough about electronic repair to stop the job search and employ himself instead. “I
