Sequel to the big-budget reboot of the comic book series following the anthropomorphic ninjutsu-trained turtles Leonardo (Pete Ploszek), Michelangelo (Noel Fisher), Donatello (Jeremy Howard) and Raphael (Alan Ritchson). The turtle's arch nemesis Shredder (Brian Tee) has returned and employed Techno Cosmic Research Institute scientist Dr. Stockman (Tyler Perry) to create some mutants of his own in the form of ferocious duo Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (Stephen Farrelly). Meanwhile, the evil Kraang (voice of Fred Armisen) has arrived from Dimension X to lead an invasion of New York City. With the help of journalist April O'Neil (Megan Fox) and vigilante Casey Jones (Stephen Amell), the turtles face a fight on two fronts to save the city from certain destruction.

According to an old saying, there are eight million stories in the naked city. In this absorbing collection, Brian Scott Mednick offers fifteen. Among the inhabitants of Mednick's Manhattan are Feldman, a meek accountant whose quiet evening at home is interrupted by a wrong number; Fletcher and Lloyd, two former friends whose encounters over the years bring back painful college memories; Leroy, a distinguished black gentleman who entwines a young law student into his world of drinking; and Jack and Margaret, whose May-December attraction provides the basis for the title story. At turns both dark and funny, this anthology is a reminder of the intoxicating spell one city can have on its residents, especially after a few drinks.

Ever since his big screen breakthrough as phobia ridden accountant Leo Bloom in The Producers, Gene Wilder has been one of America's most beloved comic actors. For five decades, Wilder has entertained audiences in some of the funniest films ever made, including Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Stir Crazy. Brian Scott Mednick's fascinating new biography Gene Wilder: Funny and Sad (BearManor Media) reveals a very serious and private side to Wilder that audiences don't get to see. The book traces Wilder's humble beginnings in 1930s Milwaukee as a shy child who learned early on that being funny got him attention. "Gene Wilder is one of the great comic actors of the last half-century - and he is also a fascinating figure offscreen. Brian Scott Mednick has done a four-star job of capturing his life and times." - Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
