Creepy Eco-Horror Film Gaia Reminds You Not to Mess With Earth

22.3.2021
The great thing about horror is it can come from anywhere. Sure, we’re familiar with gore, monsters, and murderers, but truly anything can scare you or kill you. Case in point, the burgeoning genre of eco-horror, which makes it very clear that the world we live in right now will eventually kill...

The Star Trek Episodes That Define Captain Kirk

21.3.2021
March 22nd—and in just over two centuries in the fictional world of Star Trek—is Captain Kirk’s birthday.

19.3.2021

Fortnite's Weird Relationship With Directors Is Getting Even Weirder

18.3.2021
Even if you don’t play one of the biggest video games on the planet, there stands a good chance you’ve heard about Fortnite recently—memetic songs about chug-jugging or otherwise—thanks to the launch of its latest season of content.

Everything to Remember Before The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

16.3.2021
Just two weeks after the end of WandaVision, the next story in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is ready to be told.

The Walking Dead Turned a Beautiful Episode Into a Brutal Lesson

15.3.2021
Admittedly, the primary portion of The Walking Dead’s educational plan is telling its students that in the case of a zombie apocalypse, almost everyone will turn into killers if not monsters (literal or figurative). And after a quiet, languid, enjoyable story focused on getting to know more about...

11.3.2021
The CW’s plan to resurrect USA’s 2004 series The 4400 definitely comes across as the network’s latest go at bringing aliens/futurism/superhero drama to television. Presumably, it will happily exist alongside things like the Arrowverse and the Roswell reboot. But since it’s been so long since...

Highlander's Endless Imagination Gives It an Enduring Legacy

8.3.2021
Thirty-five years ago, a new phrase first entered the pop culture lexicon: “There can be only one.” It’s from Highlander, a 1986 sci-fi fantasy from director Russell Mulcahy. The film stars Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod, a Scottish warrior who learns he’s an immortal being destined...

WandaVision's Finale Was What You Made of It

5.3.2021
There were as many ways that Marvel’s WandaVision series finale could have ended as there are different ways to process grief. Each of the season’s nine episodes teased this out—new plot twists that threw audiences for loops all meant to obscure, but not erase, the reality that despite all...

Chaos Walking Has Too Much Walking, Too Little Chaos

3.3.2021
Actually, let me take that back slightly—there is quite a lot of chaos in Chaos Walking, but only in the sense that attempting to navigate a coherent arc through its jumbled, disjointed scenes is a frustratingly messy ask of its audience. Despite its big names, Chaos Walking’s languid energy...
