Here’s a new movie, Parallel, which blends horror and science fiction as a group of friends (played by Georgia King, Aml Ameen, Alyssa Diaz, and Kathleen Quinlan) stay at a creepy house.

Bad news – the sci-fi TV series The Expanse will get its 6th season – but this will be the last from Amazon, so – unless they find some way to shoe-horn in loads of books into a single TV series, which would create its own problems – it’ll finish well before the wrap-up of events […]
Let’s load up on that weekly dose of snark as Kevin Smith & Marc Bernardin return once more for their weekly geeking good roundup of all that is nutritious in the SFF world. There’s so much to chat about – Wonder Woman 84 and the third Deadpool flick – they had to make this bad […]
With the latest issue of ‘Retro Fan’, we are back into the realms of the original ‘Dark Shadows’ with an interview with actor David Selby.

It’s a world of hundreds of islands in which strange things tend to happen and where Christopher Priest takes advantage of the temporal and gravitational anomalies to weave wondrous and multi-faceted […]
Stan Lee has been brought back to life in glorious technicolor form by his old sound engineer, Aaron Fromm, and the animator Kosperry – who gives us some lovely hand-drawn animation, as opposed to the 3D modeling school of lowbrow FX, where any four-year-old can animate some old toot. In this toon, Stan brings his […]
Contrary to the look of the cover of Back Issue # 70, the focus isn’t on Wolverine but the Incredible Hulk, focusing primarily on his own title from the 1970s and the longevity of Herb Trimpe and Sal Buscema runs on the title as Jarrod Buttery relates ol’ greenskin’s history. I’m glad the page from […]
