SPECIAL DOUBLE-LENGTH EPISODE! 😁👍 Last year, just before our channel's annual October festivities kicked off; I put some "STAR WARS"-related content already recorded (and partly-edited) concerning "AHSOKA" and a lightsaber nontroversy on strategic hold on a hunch that there'd be more to tal...

Zack Snyder's retools his would've-been "STAR WARS" movie into... basically a Mountain Dew-flavored, early-2000s XBox-tinged riff on "STAR WARS" for Netflix to throw against the wall and see if it sticks. Not a bad idea on paper, but in practice the end result is a shockingly dull and portentous ...

Blumhouse turns the indie-game phenomenon into a haunted-arcade thriller that's heavy on style, low on coherency but probably better than it had any right being under the circumstances - which isn't the same thing as being "good" but bound to be memorable as what's aiming to be a generation's fir...

The franchise that opened and closed the YA Dystopian fad of a decade ago takes a swing at a re-start with a prequel that reveals doomed romance and political chicanery in the backstory of the original series' main antagonist. A sci-fi prequel about how the villain started out as a moody handsome...

Before Bill Maher was an angry old man having a 'Senior Moment' over too much feminism in the "BARBIE" movie; he was appearing in a late-80s horror/adventure spoof with a shocking amount of that same Kenergy.
