Once upon a time Hollywood cranked out one Western film after another. Audiences loved them; they couldn’t get enough rough riding, bad guys, good guys, crooked sheriffs, gunfights, lone heroes, and cliffhanging rescues. They made cowboys the biggest movie stars. Then tastes changed and the Western all but faded away, morphing into what are today’s space opera and superhero movies. They have basically the same plots, characters, and stories, just melded into this new format.

PUBLISHER’S CORNER BETTER DAYS AHEAD A lot has changed in our nation since we published the last issue of Wire Magazine in December of 2020. We have a new President and Vice President of the United States who have a lot of combined experience running the government from both the White House and Congress. They also bring a completely new approach to governing, starting with telling the truth and using facts, and presenting ideas and arguments without insults and derogatory labels about their opponents. The new Administration and Congress have their work cut out with the many challenges they are facing, from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, to effective vaccine distribution, to a struggling economy, unemployment and hunger in America. Decisive and effective action will be required to address our country’s problems to actually make America great again a reality, instead of the failed, empty slogan it became during the presidency of a twice impeached president who failed all Americans in too many ways to even mention here. Our lives continue to be different, and so are the many community events we attended in the past. Latinos Salud is getting ready for their Blended Gala Event on Saturday, February 27 at 7 p.m. This year's annual gala will be a virtual and live event with free tickets and Premium and VIP tickets that include special perks. Visit latinossalud.org/gala2021 to get your tickets and support this wonderful organization. This year's Winter Party Festival will be a virtual affair, and we will provide you all the details in our February issue. The OUTshine Film Festival is also gearing up to bring us film festival movies that you can watch from home on a monthly basis, and the OUTshine Film Festival Miami edition (April 22 to May 2). Let's continue supporting all our community organizations to the best of our ability during these difficult times. If you have a business or help run a non-profit organization, be sure to visit SBA.gov to apply for a Second Draw PPP Loan. At least $25 billion is being set aside for loans to eligible borrowers who can demonstrate at least a 25% reduction in gross revenues between comparable quarters in 2019 and 2020. I wish all our readers, their families and friends the very best for a healthy, happy and prosperous 2021. Please wear your masks and practice social distancing. The end of the pandemic will come, but the COVID-19 virus and its new variants are as dangerous and potentially deadly as ever. Cheers,
Rafa Carvajal Publisher & Editor in Chief rafa@wiremag.com

JUSTIN UTLEY WEARS HIS SCARS
PHOTO BY RYAN BAKERINK
Justin Utley’s newest single from Scars departs from the rock and roll feel of the album. “Underneath My Skin” is a deeply personal and emotional song; more theatrical and packed with passion. It is about heartache, betrayal, and the feelings that linger long after the final goodbye of a lost love.
"I love the end product and how everything came together," he says. "It makes me hopeful that our communities, too, will finally come together in 2021 and that we will be able to celebrate once again. I look forward to being able to resume traveling and performing. I so miss the connection and energy of a live audience."
Utley likens it to an Adele track. “It’s based on an experience I had that was so intense that the only way I could express the pain accurately was through music. I think the song resonates with anyone who has been at the difficult end of a relationship's rope, forced to finally cut ties with a love you thought would last.”
Justin Utley is best known for “Stand for Something,” a single he released in June 2010 that inspired action towards securing LGBTQ marriage equality in the United States. The single was nominated by the LGBTQ Academy of Recording Arts for four OutMusic Awards, including Best Songwriter and Artist of the Year. It won Best Country/Folk Song of the Year.
“I remember writing the song and bringing it into the studio the next day saying that I needed to add it to the album,” he continues. “My producer and I were so frustrated because we were down to the wire toward the release date for Scars; the album needed to be finalized and delivered to the label. I sang through “Underneath My Skin” and my producer sat quietly before admitting, ‘yeah, this needs to make it on the record.’” The music video for “Underneath My Skin” was directed by Christopher Lee and filmed at Twig Media Lab Studios in Salt Lake City. It was Justin’s idea to paint the song’s lyrics all over his body. 10 WIREMAG.COM #1 2021
Scars is Utley’s third studio album. It is one of the most heartfelt, brutally honest, thought provoking and vulnerable collection of songs he has ever produced, and it has been embraced by fans. The pop-single “Survivors” has now passed 100,000 plays on Spotify, and the four videos from the album have received over a million views combined. Justin Utley’s “Underneath My Skin” is available on Apple Music, Spotify and all digital platforms, along with his entire Scars album.

FLIX By Alyn Darnay
PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN They say, “Revenge is a dish best served up cold.” If that’s the truth, then this film is a most delicious meal. It’s quite a raw film at almost every visual and verbal turn and you may want to turn it off somewhere in the beginning, but please don’t; ride out any prejudices you may have, and I promise you a film experience unlike anything you’ve had before… and an ending that’s a stone killer. Unlike most movies in this genre, where almost everyone is unquestionably bad, this film introduces us to some very charming and appealing men who do some especially nasty things. Not that the women of the film are saintly, they are less than sweet, but there are underlying reasons for their behavior, especially for what keeps coming from Carey Mulligan’s character. Reminiscent in ways of the 2005 thriller Hard Candy starring Elliot Page (formerly Ellen) and Patrick Wilson, it leaves that film in the dust as it delivers more relevancy to real life incidents and to today’s “#MeToo” movement. It’ll be interesting to see how much heated debate and conversation the film will create after numerous groups of people see it. I’m looking forward to that.
Singularly driven, wickedly cunning, and deviously brilliant, she creates opportunities to “even the score” with those who would derail others like herself. Suddenly a light in the darkness of her distraught and lonely existence appears in the form of new boyfriend Ryan (Burnham). This new relationship could be the foundation for a way back to normalcy and a meaningful life, when an unexpected encounter changes everything and opens the door to actually allow her to end the nightmare of her past once and for all. Least you think this film is all gloom and doom, it’s not. It plays like a dark comedy and is rife with laughs to lighten the mood when it gets a little too somber. I’ve always liked Cary Mulligan. In this film her wonderfully mesmerizing performance is certainly the best in her career. Kudos to Ms. Mulligan, let’s see more of her. I have to also mention the brilliance of first-time director Emerald Fennell on what she has created here. Where many others have failed, she has succeeded in creating and delivering a groundbreaking female empowerment fantasy that is sure to spawn imitators.
My take… Promising Young Woman shares great visual Here’s the storyline… moments and cruel actions with dark comedy to paint the picture Living a secret double life, Cassie of a woman both in control and (Mulligan), the young woman of out of control at the same time. the title, seeks revenge for a How often do you get to see mysterious event that derailed that? It’s a hard film to watch at her medical education and times, but if you stick it out, it’ll changed the course of her life. surprise the heck out of you.
