The Mystery Inc. gang meets the Dark Knight for the first time in this all-new clip from "Scooby-Doo! & Batman: The Brave and the Bold." Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment, the all-new original film will be distributed January 9, 2018 by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on DVD and Digital.
Super sleuths Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Velma join forces with the world’s greatest detective, Batman, when they discover that villains from both of their respective rogues’ galleries have also combined efforts to terrorize the city.
With Scooby snacks in tow, the crime-fighting teams encounter classic Batman foes (Joker, Catwoman, Riddler, Penguin, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn) and allies (The Question, Aquaman, Plastic Man, Martian Manhunter) along with a bevy of fiends from Scooby-Doo lore (Spooky Space Kook, Gentleman Ghost, Miner 49er, Ghost Clown). As always, you won’t know who the ultimate villain is until those “meddling kids” pull off the mask!

So long, Jerry Van Dyke
Comic actor, musician Jerry Van Dyke died Friday at age 86. He was the younger brother of Dick Van Dyke and made several memorable appearances on the "Dick Van Dyke Show" in the 1960s. Later, he starred in the the ABC series, "Coach." I always got a kick out of his guest appearances alongside his brother. Variety has a full story here.

NPR remembers Rick Hall, great producer at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
Hall [produced] some of the most indelible soul and R&B recordings of the century: Aretha Franklin's "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)," Etta James' cover of "Tell Mama" (the original version of which was also recorded at FAME), Otis Redding's "You Left the Water Running" and Wilson Pickett's cover of "Mustang Sally" among them.
Duane Allman, co-founder of The Allman Brothers, famously camped out near Hall's studio in the hopes of catching a break — which he did when Hall put him on Wilson Pickett's album Hey Jude, which drew international attention for Allman.
