Exclusive: Oscar winners Questlove and Jamie Lee Curtis and Emmy winner Billy Porter are joining forces to executive produce I Was Born This Way about Archbishop Carl Bean, the man who performed the titular groundbreaking gay disco anthem in the 1970s.

Oscar-winning filmmaker Daniel Junge and Emmy-winning filmmaker Sam Pollard directed the film, which makes its world premiere at Tribeca Festival on June 5. We have your first look at the documentary in the trailer above.

“Six years in the making,” notes a release, “the film follows the little known story of Bean’s life from his turbulent childhood growing up Black and queer, through his surprising music career, including the 1977 Billboard top 10 Disco hit and gay anthem ‘I Was Born This Way,’ and his departure from the music industry to start the prolific Minority AIDS Project and the world’s first LGBTQ+ church for people of color, Unity Fellowship.”

Warning: Spoiler alert! Do not proceed if you haven’t watched Tuesday’s Bones.

Bones set the stage for its series finale on Tuesday’s explosive penultimate episode, which, true to form for the long-running Fox procedural, combined the joy of a wedding with the terror of a killer on the loose. And everything ended with a bang.

The episode, titled “The Day in the Life,” flashed back and forward around the events of Cam (Tamara Taylor) and Arastoo’s (Pej Vahdat) reception, giving fans a chance to see the happy couple and all their friends and relatives -- Michelle! Felicia! Most of the old “squinterns!” -- celebrating their much-deserved bliss.

However, the honeymoon doesn’t last long, as the next morning Cam and Arastoo are summoned back to the Jeffersonian Institute’s Medico-Legal Lab, where, as Brennan (Emily Deschanel) puts it, “everything” has gone wrong.

The American remake of We Are What We Are (review) hits VOD on December 17, and while the Mexican thriller of the same name is superior, Jim Mickle’s take on ritualistic cannibalism is a damned fine film in its own right and certainly one of the better cannibal-centric movies to come out recently.

Making a list of the “best” cannibal movies out there is a fool’s errand, if only because it invariably leads to someone saying I have no idea what I’m talking about because I left this film or that film off the list, prompting me to question everything I know and love. You proud of yourself now?

Therefore, instead of a “Best Cannibal Films” list, I’m treating you to a list of my favorite cannibal-centric movies. And no, Cannibal Holocaust is not on the list ‘cause that movie is gross and made me leave the room twice while watching it.

There may not be a whole lot to watch on TV right now, but there’s plenty to watch in TV Bits.

If you weren't excited about "Prometheus" before, the recent Ted Talk given by Guy Pearce's character, Peter Weyland, should do the trick.

The three-minute short was conceived by "Prometheus" director Ridley Scott and writer Damon Lindelof, showing the founder of the Weyland-Yutani company delivering a rousing speech about the future of technology and robotics. It's a tantalizing teaser of what's to come with "Prometheus," establishing quite decisively that, yes, this does take place in the "Alien" universe, and this Peter Weyland character is really quite the shadester.

Big props to Pearce for delivering one of the most compelling performances of 2012 to date. In fact, I kind of feel like Pearce should just keep doing in-character Ted Talks for all of his famous roles. I can see some of them now…
