Tubi continues to expand its adult animated programming, giving a green light to Breaking Bear, an adult animated comedy series from The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia director Julien Nitzberg, Creepshow producer Cartel Entertainment, and Blink-182 frontman Tom DeLonge’s To The Stars Media (Monsters of California).
Created by Nitzberg, Breaking Bear parodies the tropes of mobster dramas, comically combining elements of Yogi Bear with The Sopranos. It follows the escapades of three bear siblings who decide they have to start selling drugs in order to raise money and save their home after gas companies start fracking next to their cave. The bears soon enlist other forest animals in a scheme that will pit them against oil companies, The Russian Mafia, local Hell’s Angels and polar bears who hate anything that isn’t white.

Breaking Bear is executive produced by Tom DeLonge (Poet Anderson: The Dream Walker), Stan Spry (Creepshow, Day of the Dead), Jeff Holland (Creepshow, Day of the Dead), Bradford Bricken (Twelve Forever), and Eric Woods (Creepshow, Harland Manor). Nitzberg also serves as an executive producer and showrunner.

Oh yeah, and he's also been writing baseball movie for the last year, too.
"I love 'Moneyball.' It's one of my favorite movies ever. And I love 'The Natural.' Whenever I find myself sick or depressed about something, I'll put on 'The Natural,' and feel good," DeLonge said. "But for me, I was like, 'Well, how do we have a modern baseball movie, that's really [freaking] cool and hard-hitting and fun and represents the culture behind the sport?'"
On the heels of the recent historic UFO Congressional hearing, Legendary Television has acquired the rights to A.J. Hartley and Tom DeLonge’s Sekret Machines sci-fi thriller novels for television series development. Dan Farah (Ready Player One, The Shannara Chronicles), who brought the project to Legendary, and founding Blink 182 member-turned-UFO researcher DeLonge, will executive produce the adaptation of the the popular books, which include Sekret Machines: Chasing Shadows and its sequel Sekret Machines: A Fire Within.
The directorial debut of Tom DeLonge (Blink 182, Angels & Airwaves), Monsters of California follows teenager Dallas Edwards and his misfit friends as they attempt to unearth answers to a series of mysterious, paranormal events happening around Southern California. As they peel back the layers on this onion of the unexplainable, they unravel the extraordinary secrets held within the deepest levels of the Government. The film features an ensemble cast of new and familiar faces, including Tony Award® Nominee Richard Kind (Big Mouth, Curb Your Enthusiasm), veteran actor Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers), Emmy Award® Nominee Arianne Zucker (Days of Our Lives), Sports Illustrated model Camille Kostek, Gabrielle Haugh (Jeepers Creepers 3) and newcomers Jack Samson, Jared Scott, and Jack Lancaster.
Monsters of California is co-written by DeLonge and Ian Miller and is produced through DeLonge’s To The Stars Media along with Stan Spry and Eric Woods of Cartel Pictures (Creepshow, Day of the Dead). DeLonge also wrote and performed original music for the film. Anthony Fankhauser serves as a co-producer for The Cartel and Russell Binder co-produces for Striker Entertainment, in association with To The Stars Media, a division of To The Stars Inc. The film was shot by cinematographer Justyn Moro (Demon House).

Angels & Airwaves/former blink-182 frontman Tom DeLonge takes us through the 10 most monumental songs of his lengthy career...
He makes the comments in light of Machine Gun Kelly and Slipknot’s recent war of words.
“We still have material from a crashed craft in the ‘40s of unknown origin. We still have that material being studied with the US government.”
Until we can determine whether we are alone in the universe, we have this phenomenon to contemplate: the culture may have finally caught up with the Blink-182 alum.
Tom DeLonge is a US musician, songwriter, author and filmmaker. He is the founding member of blink-182 and Angels & Airwaves.
