In preparation for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi, NBC recently aired Russia Calling, an inside look at how two-time gold medalist Shaun White prepared for the games. The Olympic winner talked to the digital media last week about the special, which he also executive produced, his band, Bad Things, the upcoming Winter Games, and more.

White talked to SciFi Vision about living the dream and making it to the Olympics. "I guess in the very beginning, I mean, the Olympics was just a dream. I mean, there was no Olympics. X Games had just started and there was no real shining future for me in the sport - or for anyone in the sport at that time. It was definitely not what it is today; it was brand new. It was very kind of rebel. We weren't even allowed on some of the mountains and stuff like that.

"And so I remember competing and then learning of the opportunity that I could one day go to the Olympics once it had started. But I guess from the beginning I always - I would be lying to say I always knew that I would be here. I always knew that I could do it and that I could win the events and at least make an amazing living and be the best at the sport at some period of time.

Recently released on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD, the third installment of the Riddick film franchise finds the title character (Vin Diesel) trapped on a sun-scorched planet, battling a new group of bounty hunting mercenaries, as well as deadly aliens.

One of the mercs, who vows to bring back Riddick's head in a box, is Santana, played by Jordi Mollà, who recently talked to Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision in an exclusive interview about the film.

The actor talked about how he developed the character of Santana for the film. "I met the director, David Twohy, and that was months before we started shooting, and I didn't read the script at that point. I had to wait like three months until they made the real offer.

Recently Riddick was released on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD. Riddick is the third film in the franchise (following Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick) that follow the adventures and ordeals of the title character, played by Vin Diesel.

At the end of the last film, Riddick was the new Lord Marshall of the Necromongers after defeating their leader. However with a wish to return to Furya, he makes a deal with Vaako (Karl Urban) for him to help him reach the planet. Unsurprisingly, Riddick's betrayed.

Riddick finds himself stranded on a sun-scorched planet, and needing a way to escape he announces his arrival at a mercenary station by activating an emergency beacon, prompting two groups of mercs to go after him for the bounty on his head. The mercs aren't his only problems though, as the approaching storm is waking up some nasty alien predators.

Can Riddick convince the mercs to work with him to survive or will he have to trick them and follow his own agenda? As a connection to his past emerges, Riddick must decide how best to play his cards in order to make it off of the planet alive.
