Now when I say this Monster Week special stuck with me, I don’t necessarily mean that in a good way. At the time, MERMAIDS was Animal Planet’s most-watched program ever, and people didn’t get the memo that it was fake.

Our plan is to continue showing the films of the past and examining them in the modern context. Not every film ages well and that’s a part of the exploration as well…what does an older film mean to today’s world? What can we excavate?

COME TRUE effectively melds the horror of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET with the sinister bureaucracy of DREAMSCAPE and humbling awe of INCEPTION to create its own unsettling look into the human mind.

There always seems to be a disconnect between dystopian fiction and their Hollywood film adaptations. Hollywood seems unwilling or incapable of allowing their lead actresses to look less than perfect.

please stop blaming things on the moon, except for werewolves, that one is all the moon’s fault.

Once the realization set in, all I could do was cry and listen to the beloved Bowie songs I grew up with. That night I joined a packed theater at Alamo Drafthouse Lakeline thanks to James Pound who threw together an impromptu David Bowie dance party.

I’ll discuss some of the most dynamite scenes in SciFi that blew up our imagination, in no particular order. (Most of these films are over 20 years old and I shouldn't worry about people crying about spoilers, but we live in a society where people blame me for their not watching classics. So, here is a warning for potential explosive spoilers ahead).

In David Levy’s book Love and Sex with Robots, he predicts by 2025 “at the latest, artificial-emotion technologies” will allow robots to be more emotionally available than the typical American human male (though that bar is fairly low). This just proves my point — sex/love robot stories should always be about male robots! Why don’t we have any of those?!

Back in the day, we waited in line because we had to. That was the only way to see the show. By contrast, a month before its release, THE FORCE AWAKENS had already surpassed $50 million in advanced ticket sales, breaking the overall record more than eight times over.

In THE TRIBE, director Roxy Shih explores the "post-apocalyptic wasteland" setting with a new type of hero: the teenage girl.

It’s not like the filmmakers were approaching the film attempting to examine deep questions about our future…Their idea was to put Jason on a spaceship and let him do his thing. On that merit, they succeeded.
