We just tuned into the first three episodes of Pluribus on Apple TV, and we’re blown away! The show feels trippy, loopy, and totally absorbing, exactly what you’d expect from the creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Its atmosphere pulls you in, the story layers psychological sci-fi with sharp character work, and the visuals are top-notch. Rhea Seehorn absolutely commands the screen as Carol, giving a nuanced performance right in the middle of a bizarre, hive-mind world where individu...
We just watched The Last Spark of Hope on Amazon, and it’s one of the weirdest, most visually impressive post-apocalyptic films we’ve seen. The story follows Eva, possibly the last human alive, trapped outside her compound by her guardian robot Arthur, a machine programmed not to harm humans, but also incapable of saving her or bending the rules to help. Arthur’s logic becomes both a lifeline and a prison: it won’t kill Eva, but it also won’t act to prevent her death, and watching this robot ...
Just finished Splinter Cell: Deathwatch on Netflix and this series absolutely delivers! Everything fans want from a top-tier animated action series: razor-sharp stealth missions, tense betrayals, and dynamic, layered characters. Sam Fisher comes out of retirement, older, wiser, and deadlier, to team up with rising agent Zinnia McKenna and face a global conspiracy that keeps you guessing. The animation is crisp, the story has real stakes, and the finale sets up Season 2 perfectly. If you’re a ...
We just watched Highest 2 Lowest on Apple TV, and what a letdown. As music industry veterans, we couldn’t help but cringe at how badly this film misunderstands how the industry actually handles extortion, negotiation, and label operations. Instead of real-world tension, we get overblown drama, decisions no actual label or artist would make, and a script that feels totally out of sync with reality. On top of that, the soundtrack is all over the place—blasting mismatched tracks that pull you ou...
We just watched Brick on Netflix, and wow—what a ride! Most viewers slammed it, but honestly, we found it weirdly entertaining. This German sci-fi thriller traps a group of people inside an apartment building mysteriously sealed by black brick walls. The concept is wild, the writing sometimes clunky, and the acting over the top—but that’s exactly what gives it B-movie charm. Between the cheesy lines, random plot twists, and unintentional humor, it somehow works in its own offbeat way. Despite...
Tilly Norwood, the AI-generated actress created by Dutch producer Eline Van der Velden, is making waves, and enemies, in Hollywood. Billed as the next Scarlett Johansson, Tilly’s synthetic performances and digital presence are sparking outrage among actors, unions, and talent agencies. Critics point out Tilly lacks genuine emotion, life experience, and true acting ability, raising fresh debates about AI’s place in entertainment and the future of human performers. The Screen Actors Guild and s...
We just watched the new Superman streaming on HBO Max, and… yikes! For longtime Superman fans, this was a letdown, glossy visuals, loud action, and a script packed with meme references, TikTok energy, and Gen Z/Gen Alpha humor. There’s little of the depth or wonder adults remember from Superman; instead, this reboot plays strictly for the Fortnite generation. The cast is young, the jokes are relentless, and any sense of gravity or myth is swapped for viral catchphrases and shallow sentimental...
We just watched The Blob (1958), and wow—this flick is pure drive-in gold. Steve McQueen leads a cast of “teenagers” who could’ve all passed for seniors at a high school reunion, but it only adds to the fun! The special effects are goofy, the dialog is retro gold, and every minute is a love letter to low-budget sci-fi. Whether it’s the Blob rolling over townsfolk or adults pretending to be rebellious kids, this movie is a B-movie masterpiece that begs to be seen with a rowdy crowd at the driv...

Whole new questions and wild twists—Foundation Season 3 Episode 6, “The Shape of Time,” is on another level.

Is Gaal in control, or just another pawn in a bigger game? And will Brother Day actually survive wha...
Foundation Season 3, Episode 5, "Where Tyrants Spend Eternity," continues to deliver high-stakes political intrigue and stunning visuals. The Mule’s presence looms large even in limited screen time, his terrifying reputation spreading fear across the galaxy.

Meanwhile, Brother Day pursues his mission relentlessly, and the complex famil...

Apple TV+’s Foundation kicked off with a bang. The show’s cinematic visuals, ambitious world-building, and complex storytelling immediately set it apart.

Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey is often called one of the greatest films ever made—but does it hold up for today’s viewers? We break down what makes this sci-fi classic both groundbreaking and, at times, surprisingly goofy. From the epic classical music and long black screens to the infamous “Dawn of Man” sequence, we share our honest reactions and why we both landed on a 5 out of 10. You know the routine—drop your thoughts in the comments, let us know if you think 2001 is a masterpi...
Predator: Killer of Killers brings back the iconic alien hunter, but this time the formula feels a bit worn. While the action delivers, the Predator’s motivation—killing simply for the hunt—starts to feel repetitive, and the alien design doesn’t break new ground (why do so many alien races have to look like giant bugs?). In this review, we dig into what works, what falls flat, and whether this latest entry adds anything fresh to the Predator legacy. Is it worth your time, or just another chap...
