HBO-Logo-SpaceThe transition from summer to fall begins as we come up on September. As always HBO wants to ride on the momentum of GAME OF THRONES, especially since it came and went so fast this season, and get people’s attention off the broadcast networks as they launch their fall lineups. So, does THE DEUCE have your attention? Maybe, it and more will intrigue you once we reveal what is on the slate for September. Let’s take a look.

 

Original Series: Chronicling that moment in time when sex went from being a back-alley, brown-paper-bag commodity to a billion-dollar universal in American life, a moment when ground zero for the earliest pioneers in the flesh trade was the mid-town heart of the nation’s largest city, New York’s Times Square, THE DEUCE begins its eight-episode season SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10 (9:00-10:25pm ET/PT), followed by other episodes subsequent Sundays at the same time. Starring James Franco and Maggie Gyllenhaal, the show was created by George Pelecanos and David Simon; George Pelecanos, David Simon, Nina K. Noble and James Franco executive produce.

Episodes include:

–Episode #01: “Pilot”
Debut date: SUNDAY, SEPT. 10 (9:00-10:25pm)

 

Twin brothers Vincent (James Franco) and Frankie Martino (James Franco) – one a double-shifting bartender with two kids and a wayward wife in Brooklyn, the second an insouciant gambler with piling mob debts – navigate their way through the rough-and-tumble world of 1971 Times Square.

 

While Vincent plots ways to improve his situation and pay off his brother’s debt, he crosses paths with other midtown denizens – including veteran hookers Candy (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and Ashley (Jamie Neumann), young streetwalkers Darlene (Dominique Fishback) and Lori (Emily Meade), and smooth-talking pimps C.C. (Gary Carr), Larry (Gbenga Akinnagbe) and Rodney (Cliff Smith/Method Man) – as they ply their trades under the not-so-watchful eye of the NYPD. Meanwhile, when NYU student Abby (Margarita Levieva) is enlisted by friends to buy amphetamines on the street, she ends up in the Times Square precinct, an unlikely starting point for making a bold change to her privileged life. Written by George Pelecanos & David Simon; directed by Michelle MacLaren. 

 

–Episode #02: “Show and Prove”
Debut date: SUNDAY, SEPT. 17 (9:00-10:00pm)

 

With his marriage failing, Vincent (James Franco) moves into a seedy Times Square hotel and, fueled by his success drawing customers to a struggling Korean bar, contemplates a tempting offer from mob capo Rudy Pipilo (Michael Rispoli). Meanwhile, Vincent and Frankie’s (James Franco) brother-in law, Bobby (Chris Bauer), a Brooklyn construction foreman, eyes Vincent’s new connections as a way to better his own lot.

 

Reluctantly agreeing to pinch-hit for a friend in a pornographic short, Candy (Maggie Gyllenhaal) ends up being intrigued by the filmmaking process. C.C. (Gary Carr) shows Lori (Emily Meade) the advantages of having a pimp, while Larry (Gbenga Akinnagbe) is unsettled by Darlene’s (Dominique Fishback) interest in literature – and by Sandra Washington (Natalie Paul), a reporter. Police officers Chris Alston (Lawrence Gilliard, Jr.) and Danny Flanagan (Don Harvey) are joined by detectives Grossman (Brian Muller) and Haddix (Ralph Macchio) for a routine hooker round-up, as well as a raid of an adult porn shop whose peep shows cross the line. Written by Richard Price & George Pelecanos; directed by Ernest Dickerson.

Putting the finishing touches on his new bar, Vincent (James Franco) is blindsided by the sudden appearance of an unexpected partner, causing Frankie (James Franco) to blow a gasket. Rudy (Michael Rispoli) buys into a rival’s plan to reconfigure The Deuce, hopefully with the support of an ambitious mayor. Candy (Maggie Gyllenhaal) eyes an entrée into the filmmaking business; Abby (Margarita Levieva) languishes in her new job; Darlene (Dominique Fishback) works overtime to compensate Larry (Gbenga Akinnagbe); C.C. (Gary Carr) tasks Lori (Emily Meade) to play the “long game”; Bobby (Chris Bauer) pays a price for his recent stress at work. Big Mike (Mustafa Shakir), a menacing drifter, proves useful to Vincent as the Hi-Hat finally opens. Written by David Simon & Richard Price; directed by James Franco.

Movies_OrangeCounty-201x300Other Movies and Shows: Here is a quick singling out of other First Runs on HBO. How about AUSTIN POWERS: THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME, ORANGE COUNTY, TRADERS, THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (the 2005 remake) and HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION. HBO2 offers up mini-binges of THE WIRE, GAME OF THRONES, INSECURE, BALLERS, CLASSIC BOXING, VICE and CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM throughout the month. All of these I’ve heard of or seen but one. Though I lost track of the Halloween franchise long ago at least I’ve heard of it; that is not the case for ORANGE COUNTY. In that one the question is asked – what’s a California teen to do when his dreams of getting into Stanford are dashed thanks to an administrative error? Colin Hanks stars as the Orange County youth who goes to extremes to find a way into the prestigious university and pursue a career as a writer. Also find HBO FIRST LOOK: BATTLE OF THE SEXES and KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE: HBO FIRST LOOK on the schedule.

 

HBO’s Other Platforms: There is always something interesting to find when you go off the beaten path. HBO Latino: Chart-topping Colombian reggaeton singer J Balvin performs in his hometown of Medellín in this exciting concert featuring an all-star lineup of special guests. It is J BALVIN: BRUUTTAL. On the movie front, there is AL FINAL DEL TUNEL (At The End Of the Tunnel), MAQUINARIA PANAMERICANA (Panamerican Machinery) and YO SOY UN POLITICO (I Am A Politician). In the first one thieves want to dig a tunnel under a house to get to a bank on the other side; the next one is a satire of Mexican business; the last title has a former movie director running for Governor UllmanCharacter-150x150of Puerto Rico. HBO Family: Alas an animated tale, not a classic Harryhausen tale – it is SINBAD: LEGEND OF THE SEVEN SEAS. FANTASTIC VOYAGE from 1966 is a classic one though, with Raquel Welch. Ever heard of her? For something a bit more modern how about SPEED RACER or SISTER ACT? HBO Signature: from this channel I will single out THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY based on the Douglas Adams sci-fi book, STICK IT in which trouble with the law forces a rebellious former gymnast to return to the sport she left years earlier, TRADE, a harrowing drama set in the sadistic world of human trafficking and 2002’s RESIDENT EVIL. HBO Comedy: Are movies like DO THE RIGHT THING, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE or HBO FILMS: CLEAR HISTORY of interest? Or perhaps standup like TRACEY ULLMAN: LIVE & EXPOSED is more to your liking on this channel? HBO Zone: This channel is light on First Runs this time around but since we got to throw out a few titles how about SIR OF ECHOES: HOMECOMING, MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE, BODY PARTS and CIRQUE DU FREAK: THE VAMPIRE’S ASSISTANT. Hey, I thought Halloween wasn’t until October?

 

HBONow/Go: We start with a listing of some of the Collections that can be found on either site. Judd Apatow was a writer for THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW and he has a collection of six of his favorite episodes from the comedy. Also, there is a larger collection of twelve episodes from that series that highlights celebrities you won’t believe were on it – like Sean Penn. Plus, a collection of ten movies featuring BilleJeanSportsDocBen Affleck and/or Matt Damon like PEARL HARBOR and JASON BOURNE. Movies like DOCTOR DETROIT, LUCAS, TRON and BILLIE JEAN KING: PORTRAIT OF A PIONEER are just a few of the titles to be found as well.  

Cinemax: From Mike Judge, co-creator of HBO’s hit comedy series SILICON VALLEY comes MIKE JUDGE PRESENTS: TALES FROM THE TOUR BUS, an animated half-hour series chronicling the tales of some of country music’s most eccentric characters. The eight-episode season debuts FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 (10:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT), with other new episodes debuting subsequent Fridays at the same time. The show was created by Mike Judge, Richard Mullins and Dub Cornett. Judge is executive producer; Glen Zipper, Sean Stuart and Dub Cornett are also executive producers.

TalesFromTheTourBus

Hit the road with the craziest stories from some of country music’s greatest singers. From Mike Judge, the hilariously demented mind behind Beavis and Butt-head, King of the Hill and HBO’s SILICON VALLEY, comes this comedy series that shines a spotlight on misbehaving country musicians and their incredible on-the-road adventures. Follow the true (and truly unbelievable) exploits of country stars from the 1960s and 1970s, including Johnny Paycheck, Waylon Jennings, Jerry Lee Lewis, Tammy Wynette and George Jones, as told by the people who knew them best. In addition to live-action performance footage and archival photos, the series features narration by Judge and interviews with managers, producers, friends and former bandmates who share personal insights into these larger-than-life artists—all brought to life by animated reenactments.

MaggieGyllenhal_Candy-200x300

Hey, at least there is a new series starting. Movies include Jake Gyllenhal in DEMOLITION, Melissa McCarthy in THE BOSS, Russell Crowe in THE NICE GUYS and The Four Horsemen reappear in NOW YOU SEE ME 2 and ‘20’s gangsters take to the screen in LIVE BY NIGHT. Plus, the channel highlights Dustin Hoffman in a collection of films in September.  

 

Next Month’s Tease: His first directing job was an episode of Marcus Welby, M. D. in 1970; his first as a producer was for I Wanna Hold Your Hand in 1978. He is featured on HBO in October. Who is he?   

To answer last month’s Tease we needed to know Eileen “Candy” Merrell is the name of Maggie Gyllenhal’s character in THE DEUCE. You’ll soon get to know her intimately.

 

Final Clip: We will offer in closing a trailer from one of the movies debuting in primetime Saturday night. Here is the acclaimed LA LA LAND.  

Enjoy what is happening on HBO in September!
