Roku is getting further into the food TV space, picking up a new series called Best Bite Wins.
The food competition series will be hosted and executive produced by actor Josh Peck, with chef Monti Carlo serving as the show’s culinary expert. The six-episode series is produced by Velvet Hammer Media and Bongo Pictures.
The concept of Best Bite Wins is to turn cocktail party food into a competition, with professional chefs competing to present the best party food to hungry judges and clientele at real events, including birthday parties and retirement celebrations.

A year ago, Sen Morimoto was on the cusp of quitting music altogether. Instead, the Chicago-based, Japan-born multi-instrumentalist and producer channeled his disillusionment with the music industry and society at large into a new album, Diagnosis. He released it this fall on the quietly influential indie label he co-owns, Sooper Records, using his own blend of jazz, rap, neo-soul, and indie rock to rail against the rat race. “A lot of my music in the past is really peaceful, chill beats and thoughts about people and friendships,” Morimoto, 30, says. “And...

What happens if a homeless man wins the lottery? Akihiro Takahama self-written short “Mimic” gives an entertaining answer to this fateful outline peppered with ingenious dialogue and wisdom.
Mimic is screening at Skip City International D-Cinema Festival
Morimoto lives in a cardboard box, spending his time at the park with other derelicts and looking for food in trash cans. By chance, a lottery ticket grants him a financial blessing.

But, with no valid address, he is not able to finalize the deal and Morimoto is forced to join a business that sells a magazine with the ironic title “Life theme – What's your reason to live?” on the street. He gets a new suit, a nice haircut, and finds shelter in a capsule hotel. After some time, his employer sponsors him a flat but Morimoto does not want to become a...
