SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. - Attention aspiring actors and actresses. Producers of the Netflix original series, "Mindhunter," will visit Slippery Rock University March 2 and 8 to promote and then conduct open casting calls for background extras for the show's second season.
The series, set in 1977 during the early days of FBI criminal psychology and profiling, revolves around agents Holden Ford, played by Jonathan Groff; Bill Tench, played by Holt McCallany; and psychologist Wendy Carr, played by Anna Torv, as they interview imprisoned serial killers in order to understand how they think with the hope of applying this knowledge to solving ongoing cases.
Many people got rid of their DVD collections long ago, though honestly, I could never. Still, there's not much reason for most of us to dig them out these days. However, "Supernatural" season 1 is one experience better had with the now antiquated media format, rather than a steaming platform. Why, you ask? Well, it's about that kickass soundtrack.
When it comes to the first season of "Supernatural" you'd be much better off shelling out a few bucks for DVDs than you would hitting "play" on Netflix, or any other streaming service for that matter. It turns out DVDs are the only way to watch season 1 as it was intended to be seen: with the original music. Pretty much all the music on Netflix has been replaced, certainly all of the tracks you know and love. Whether it's your first or 50th time watching the series, believe me, this is not the way to go.
"Supernatural" stars Rob Benedict (Chuck/God) and Richard Speight Jr. (Trickster/Gabriel) have a pretty great podcast called "Supernatural Then and Now," in which director and executive producer Phil Sgriccia explained what happened with the music rights for season 1. He said that though none of them realized it at the time, in year one of the show they only had the music rights for DVDs and television broadcasting. In subsequent years, the deal would be redone to include streaming, but in 2005, no one was really considering such things. It's unclear how much this had to do with the first year of "Supernatural" airing on The WB, which became The CW before season 2, but it would certainly make sense if that was a factor. Sgriccia said that even the digital versions of the episodes, such as the ones on iTunes, don't feature the original music either.
Music has been part of the DNA of "Supernatural" from its inception, with creator Eric Kripke having spoken about its relevance on many occasions. During the commentary on the "Supernatural" pilot Kripke discussed how vital his music choices were to the story he was trying to tell. It was incredibly important to him that the music he listened to be featured on the series, rather than the music that was typical of the network at that time. Apparently, his friends call him "Old Man Kripke" because he only listens to classic rock.
It's probably also worth noting that classic rock meant something different in 2005 than it does in 2022. Sure, I bristle at the idea that Nirvana is considered classic rock these days, but here we are. Kripke's favorite band is Led Zeppelin, who he made Dean's favorite band as well. The group have been referenced many times throughout the series, though because the show could never afford to license any of their tunes for "Supernatural," those references are all we ever got. Honestly though, it could have been awesome. Just imagine how epic it would've been if "What Is And What Should Never Be" or "When The Levee Breaks" got to be more than merely episode titles.
The real moment of truth came during episode 6, "Skin." From the tense opening moments that definitely did not unfold to Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" to the shapeshifter shedding his skin while soundtracked by something other than Filter's "Hey Man, Nice Shot," the episode did not hit the same way. When I finally busted out those old DVDs, I was struck all over again by some of the utterly perfect song placements, whether it's Blue yster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" in "Faith" or CCR's "Bad Moon Rising" in "Devil's Tap." Trust me on this one, you want to watch season 1 on DVD.
Don't worry, after season 1, you're good to stream and hear and all that classic rock goodness. You've got The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Bob Dylan, Supertramp, and so many more, not to mention other acts as varied as Robert Johnson, The Kinks, David Bowie, and Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Don't worry, there's some pure cheese in there too, for all you REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, and Styx fans out there!

Castle Rock combines "the mythological scale and intimate character storytelling of King's best-loved works, weaving an epic saga of darkness and light, played out on a few square miles of Maine woodland."[2]
On February 17, 2017, it was announced that Hulu, J. J. Abrams, and Stephen King were collaborating on a new series entitled Castle Rock, based on King's large canon of work.

Principal photography for the first season was expected to take place in Massachusetts, in locations such as Orange, Massachusetts, and at New England Studios in Devens, Massachusetts.[25][26] In August 2017, production began in Devens and in Orange, where the downtown area had been refitted to appear as the town of Castle Rock, and where production was expected to continue through January 2018.[27][28] That month, crews also shot scenes at Vernon Hill School in Worcester, Massachusetts, and at an old Victorian house in Lancaster, Massachusetts.[29] Filming returned to Orange during the week of August 21 for production of the series' second episode.[30] In late September 2017, filming took place in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, at The Public Health Museum on the campus of the Tewksbury State Hospital.[31] In October 2017, filming took place at the Central Cemetery in Orange where a funeral scene was shot.[32] The downtown area was refitted with a more modern look in November for another phase of production.[33] From September 4, 2017, until the end of the month, production took place at the former West Virginia Penitentiary in Moundsville, West Virginia, which appeared as the fictional Shawshank State Prison.[34] On November 21, 2017, filming took place in Worcester in the lobby of the Mercantile Building, which had been refitted into a boardroom.[29] On December 18, 2017, production for the season finale began.[35] By January, all filming in Orange was completed, and the production proceeded to donate $3,500 to the town.

In 2019, it was reported that filming for second season would take place at additional Massachusetts locations, including a former meat factory building in Clinton,[39] and several properties in Gardner.[40] Parts of season 2 episode 5 were filmed at a house on Prospect Street in Leominster, MA.[41]
The song "Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa" is used three times during the first season, including the first song heard in the premiere (Gene Pitney's 1963 version) and the last song heard over the closing credits of the finale (Dusty Springfield's 1964 version). It captures the underlying situation of The Kid in the lyrics: "Dearest darling, I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore / 'Cause something happened to me while I was driving home / And I'm not the same anymore".[42]
