Houston Kelly had a great run on The Voice: Battle of Champions as part of Team Kelly. Starting off on the Blinds with a standout performance of Marc Cohn’s “Walking in Memphis,” Kelly went on to the Battles with Tia Durant and advanced to the Knockouts with JW Griffin. Kelly, a Memphis native and current student at University of Tennesse at Martin, talked to Deepest Dream about his time on the show and he also discussed his album Right Here, Right Now.

Kelly Clarkson described Houston Kelly as a “solid country singer” and John Legend complimented the natural “power” behind Kelly’s voice. Though Kelly has received his share of love thanks to his performances, he remains steady through it all.

“One of the things that I learned and I realized – my worth is not grounded in what I do on a stage,” said Kelly. “I follow Jesus and my worth comes from him and what he’s done for me, not any singing ability that I have or anything like that.”

“That’s been one of the things that after my Blind (audition) aired on TV, there was a momentary high and it was really cool,” added Kelly. “And I was surrounded by friends and family. But then life was regular. Nothing changed. I’m still Houston. Nothing’s different. That was one of the things I didn’t expect, but in a way I knew it was coming. So in reflection of what was happening there, it really made me think about what do I put my identity in and how am I gonna portray that identity as I move forward.”

For a deeper insight into Kelly’s musicianship and songwriting, check out his debut album Right Here, Right Now which he discussed in detail during the interview.

“I’m really proud of (Right Here, Right Now),” said Kelly. “Part of the reason I wanted to go ahead and release that was because I knew of some upcoming opportunities and I said if people are gonna have opportunity to maybe hear me, I want ’em to hear something fresh,” said Kelly. “And I want ’em to be able to hear something that I’m proud of. Something that I wanna play at shows. And so the band and I – we got together and some of the songs are co-written.”

“One of my good friends, Ella Gibson, she wrote with me on a few of them. I will vomit words out when it comes to songwriting. And that’s something that she sat down and I remember her telling me,” said Kelly. “She said, ‘Houston, does rhyme scheme mean anything to you?’ And we all busted out laughing and because she was right. So I’ve learned a lot from her.

Listen to “Messages in Heaven,” a song Kelly wrote in tribute to his late grandfather:

Supergirl, one of the most anticipated films this summer, delivered the goods yesterday with its full trailer release. A concerned Superman (David Corenswet) offers Kara Zor-El (Milly Alcock) a pointed observation: “I’m worried you’re not going to find your people.” Could one of those “people” be wise-cracking trouble maker Lobo (Jason Momoa)? Check out the trailer and share your thoughts!

Supergirl Has No Friends?

Supergirl/Kara Zor-El (Milly Alcock) responds to Superman (David Corenswet) regarding her loner attitude with “I have no people.” At least she has Krypto the Superdog, but her best buddy is injured and in need of assistance. That’s where Supergirl and Lobo (Jason Momoa) come in, as they (according to the plot summary) embark “on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.”

Natasha Blaine takes on fellow Team Legend member Syd Millevoi on tonight’s The Voice: Battle of Champions for the Knockouts. During the interview, Blaine talked about how jazz, which she studied at Vanderbilt University, has shaped her artistry. She also talked about her flourishing music career and how it’s important to be your own “biggest fan.” Check out the full interview below!

THE VOICE — “The Knockouts Premiere” Episode 2906 — Pictured: Natasha Blaine — (Photo by: Casey Durkin/NBC)

“Pursuing a career in music is extremely hard to do if you don’t have that core belief in your own value,” said Natasha Blaine, who admitted that ‘trial and error’ is part of solidifying that self-belief. “At the end of the day, you are the one who’s deciding to put yourself out there and create more music. “It’s great if other people valiidate that, but at the end of the day, it’s most important for that validation to come from within.”

Check out Blaine’s latest single “Own The Way (Pull The Thread),” which she described in the interview as a personal song:

Blaine elaborated on what she learned from The Voice: Battle of Champions. “The experience taught me so many things,” said Blaine. “But I think the main takeaway was how unique and specific my identity as an artist is. And it really showed, I think, throughout the different performances that I performed. I have a very unique and specific vision for who I am as an artist. This experience showed me that what I have is a really specific niche of music which is totally marketable and opeople are responding to it.”

Bay Simpson battles it out tonight with fellow Team Adam member Alexia Jayy on The Voice: Battle of Champions. Simpson talked to Deepest Dream about his experience on the show and he also shares the keys to his songwriting and being a frontman. Full interview with Simpson is in our post!

Along with pursuing his solo career, Bay Simpson is also a member of a band called The Family (which features his own loved ones). “Everybody in my family is a really awesome musician, so we decided to just start a group and put out music,” said Simpson. “But mainly locked in on my solo thing at the moment. I still play with a backing band and it’s always a bit of a challenge – nobody cares about your stuff as much as you do.”

Part of being a frontman, from Simpson’s perspective, is to be supportive of his bandmates and he admits he can be a pretty “strict band leader.” “I try to just let the guys know that I care about them and that they’re doing a good job as much as I can, and hope that they respect the music.”

One of the best compliments of this season was when John Legend described Bay Simpson’s voice as “weird,” which Simpson took as a “cool compliment.” “I don’t want to sound like everybody else,” said Simpson. “I want to be identifiable. That’s the main thing for me – the best thing you can be is unique.”

Speaking of unique, check out the Bay Simpson single “Where I Do I Go From Her.”

Full interview with Bay Simpson, as he also reflects on his songwriting, is below:

Jaeden Martell And Asa Butterfield Talk “Loneliness” And “Empathy” Behind ‘Our Hero, Balthazar’

OurHeroBalthazarDeepestDream — Our Hero Balthazar - Picturehouse

The critically acclaimed feature Our Hero, Balthazar features Jaeden Martell as the titular character, a rich New York City teenager who tries to gain attention from posting tear-filled reaction videos online. Balthazar’s actions, however, are not genuine, and he embarks on a misguided mission to Texas in an attempt to stop an individual named Solomon (Asa Butterfield) whom he believes has a propensity for violence. Directed and co-written by Oscar Boyson, this film definitely packs a punch with its tightly wound narrative. Martell and Butterfield talked to Deepest Dream about Our Hero, Balthazar, which is now playing in New York.

Although Balthazar and Solomon may seem to have very little in common on the surface, they might not be that different from one another. “We got a bunch of loneliness which comes from lack of parents that are opinionated,” said Jaeden Martell. “A lack of father figures, and sort of a total misunderstanding. When you think once you’re misunderstood, it’s easy to bury yourself in that and then just keep going deeper and deeper and trying to look for a way to be accepted. (Balthazar and Solomon) are very similar.”

“I describe Solomon as someone who every time he tries to do something and fix something, it blows up in his
face even when it’s not his fault,” added Asa Butterfield. “He’s a real victim of circumstance. (Solomon) is a victim of America and this sort of massive divide that is there right now.”

Sherry Cola Talks ‘You’re Dating A Narcissist’ And Its “Different Perspectives On Love”

SherryColaDeepestDream — Sherry Cola - Brainstorm Media

You’re Dating A Narcissist! centers on Judy (Marisa Tomei), a New York psychologist who travels to Los Angeles with her best friend Diane (Sherry Cola) for a very special mission. The psychologist’s daughter Eva (Ciara Bravo) is in love with a charming doctor named Theo (Marco Pigossi). Judy believes Theo is a narcissist and she is bent on stopping their impending wedding! Cola talked to Deepest Dream about her latest film, which gave her the chance to bond with Tomei.

Sherry Cola and Marisa Tomei in “You’re Dating A Narcissist” – Brainstorm Media

Directed and co-written by Ann Marie Allison, You’re Dating A Narcisssist! started shooting back in 2023. “It’s been a while and she and I have kept in touch,” said Sherry Cola, who initially met Tomei, co-star Ciara Bravo and director/co-writer Ann Marie Allison over lunch. “We definitely just have this love for each other because we hit it off right off the bat. The friendship between Diane and Judy feels so legit on the screen because Marisa and I had that magic in real life.”

Check out our review (and recommend) of You’re Dating Narcissist on CinemAddicts:

In our CinemAddicts review, co-host Eric Holmes cited Cola as the best thing about the romantic comedy (he, of course, also loved Tomei in the flick). Cola has received her share of accolades over the years, and whether its success on series work (Good Trouble) or in cinema (Joy Ride), Cola has carved out a successful and busy career.

“I’m still pinching myself that it’s happening,” said Cola, who gives props to such actors as Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh, and Jackie Chan. ” I was born in Shanghai, China. I’m an immigrant. The fact that I’ve ever even been on a billboard feels like a fever dream, so none of this will ever get old because I also feel like with representation, we’re still catching up. There’s been progress, but we’re still not necessarily prioritized, in the Asian space, in the queer space, all of the above.”

Addison Heimannn Talks Alien Sex, Anxiety Loops, And Inspired Creation Of ‘Touch Me’

TouchMeDeepestDream — Touch Me - Yellow Veil Pictures

Have you ever seen a movie featuring alien tentacle sex, cult addiction, and mental trauma? Touch Me, written and directed by refreshingly out of this planet director Addison Heimann, covers those topics in an immersive and propulsive fashion with his stars Olivia Taylor Dudley, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jordan Gavaris, and Marlene Forte. Heimann talked to CinemAddicts host Eric Holmes about the personal origins of his critically acclaimed feature, which hits theaters March 27.

Touch Me – Yellow Veil Pictures

Addison Heimann begins the interview discussing his obsessive compulsive disorder which he jokes is “a really fun thing to have.” Although it gives him the ability to be hyper-focused, it can also lead to a “negative thought spiral.”

“In order to kind of break the anxiety loop is to do something called exposure and response prevention therapy,” says Heimann. “Which one version of it is where you take your deep, disturbing thoughts and you (transform) them in a completely fantastical and ridiculous way.”

For example, if one has a negative thought of their boyfriend breaking up with them, then one can imagine, in Heimann’s words, “unicorns having an orgy.”

Jordan Gavaris and Olivia Taylor Dudley in “Touch Me” – Yellow Veil Pictures

That surreal perspective informs Touch Me, the story of a young woman (Oliva Taylor Dudley) who takes her best friend (Jordan Gavaris) to her ex-lover’s (Lou Taylor Pucci) mansion. The catch is Mr. Right is actually an alien, and he has a manipulative woman (Marlene Forte) doing a ton of his dirty work.

Heimann is well aware Touch Me is a divisive feature. “You either are on board because you’re a freak like I am,” says Heimann, who previously directed the 2022 movie Hypochondriac. “Or you absolutely want to run away from the hills and think that I’m a person who should be lit on fire. When you have that kind of specificity, you end up finding the freaks.”

Consider all three of us “freaks” in CinemAddicts, since we all love the film. We reviewed and praised the movie last week:

Charity Wakefield Talks “Joyful” ‘Preschool’ Experience Working With Director Josh Duhamel

If you’re looking for a ridiculous comedy (in a good way) that ultimately wears its heart on its sleeve, then Preschool might fit the bill. Two dads (Josh Duhamel, Michael Socha) want their respective child to be given the last spot at a prestigious preschool. Charity Wakefield and Antonio Thomas are the wives who must endure their guys’ immaturity and selfishness. Wakefield (Wolf Hall, The Great) talked to Deepest Dream about why she loved making the film.

Charity Wakefield and Josh Duhamel in “Preschool” – Republic Pictures (A Paramount Pictures label)

“It was a ball, to be honest with you” said Charity Wakefield, who also credited writer Richard D’Ovidio for not being too precious with the script. “I absolutely loved filming this film. Preschool was always going to be a fun thing to do, but Josh Duhamel let us be free, and he invited us to improvise along the script. We would do the scenes as scripted, and then we were allowed to do several takes where it was unscripted, and then sometimes we’d go back and patch the two together.”

Having acted in film and television for over 20 years, Wakefield is also eyeing a path to directing. She recently directed the promenade play Pattledom, and that interactive experience is just one aspect of her expanding career. “I feel like I just got out of film school,” said Wakefield. “Which is not true, but I’ve done quite a few projects now learning on the job. And again, I’m inspired by Josh because he is someone that is a natural director, but I don’t think he’s had any kind of formal training to do that. He’s had so much experience, obviously on particularly huge productions, and Josh is really a people’s person. He’s interested in what other people are doing.”
