Sci-fi Unchained

Halloween is one of everyones favorite time of the year! We have tons of classic horror films, radio dramas, short stories, costume parties to get through, all in just a good couple of days! We have a lot of contributing origins to what we have now as the hallowed holiday. And I think my favorite is the idea that we all come together collectively to have a good laugh at what terrifies us, taking a...

I think these guys are who we think of the most when we think iconic sci-fi heroes. Who can really top Neo or Luke Skywalker? But what sets them apart from me and you, the everyman?

Politics is a fantastic writing tool to use to make a story BIG, because it helps scale whatever is happening in the background of a story. Watch something like The Expanse or Star Trek and you'll see that its something that those shows would not be as great without because politics makes things more relatable, more intriguing, and all the more real.

There is not a single thing that this show does correctly. Coming from the same studio that brought us Fallout, The Boys, Invincible, and a few other great shows? I am beyond disappointed. I'm LIVID! Here's my rant about it.

Whether we dedicate time to creating great tomes of literary works, private journals, academic essays and treatises, we all face the same manner of inhibitions: writers block, envy, self doubt, giving ourselves excuses and ways out of doing what we need to do to succeed. We can overcome these roadblocks, I promise you!

If I cast a spell with a wand and all my problems are solved......did I learn or gain anything? I didnt go on any kind of journey or fact finding mission, I just solved my problems. Is that a build up of hubris? And does it make for lazy story creations?

I've never seen a Disney failure so bad that they PULL MERCH! It certainly does NOT bode well for Disney Lucasfilm whatsoever.

Wouldn't it be great to be able to prove or disprove any and all extraterrestrial conspiracy theories? Just to KNOW for certain whats real and what isn't?

We have had a lot of major disappointments lately. But we dont have to let them color the taste of what we all collectively enjoy as a fanbase!

Breaking news everyone! Reading.....is HARD sometimes! Even for a voracious reader like myself, reading can seem like a chore some days. But why is this? If I'm reading a genre that I love so much, how can that be?

Deadpool x Wolverine is EASILY one of my favorite marvel movies of all time! if not one of my favorite movies in general. We have seen a pretty big dip in the attention people are giving to the MCU, but THIS movie is guaranteed to swing it back. So what made the studio make such a dramatically different kind of movie that was ten time raunchier, more gory, more nostalgia filled than the previous D...

Following Dune Part 1, this movie gave us a ton of payoff from the buildup that we got several years ago and it did NOT disappoint! As a matter of fact, I think its pretty underrated. I do not see many people talking about it very much. But I will!

I think everyone is getting real tired of studios doing whatever they want with their properties because they KNOW that no matter how bad something bombs, they can keep on truckin....

Did Obi-Wan Kenobi commit heinous crimes by removing the autonomy of the Stormtroopers with his famous "these arent the droids you're looking for" line? Does this open the Jedi order to a whole slew of class action lawsuits?

I am a HUGE X-Men comics fan, especially the later graphic novel adaptations and illustrated compendiums. So I was a little apprehensive whenever Disney Plus announced its continuation of the beloved X-Men cartoon we got in the 90s.......I was not ready for them to screw up my childhood even more. BUT THEY DIDNT!!!!

I got the chance to hang out with Nathan Helm, author of the first in what will be an epic fantasy SAGA sure to sweep the bookshelves! This book was packed full of fun and its definitely reflected by the cool dude that is its author.

Its no secret that Star Wars is a massive franchise that is near and dear to not only me but to tens of thousands, including my pal Matt Charles! Today he is advocating the position that the prequel trilogy is superior to the original trilogy......and I'm here to put a stop to that.

With all the really cool technologies and advancements of differing flavors that we get in various scifi franchises, do we really need big chonk muscles and kickass karate skills?

There is massive speculation that the Emperor of Mankind will be, if not already is, the next chaos god. Though it may be more apt to call him a god of order rather than chaos.

I had the opportunity to have a good long talk the author of Becoming Glitch, and it was nothing but fun. Heres waiting for the sequel to a book everyone should be reading! I know Daniel and I will be chatting it up whenever it comes out.

Ever make a decision and then rethink that decision? And then rethink that rethink? AND THEN throw the whole idea away and juggle chainsaws? Well, thats the Chaos God of Change for you. The focus on magics and sorcery is pretty fun though!

Ever thought about having that extra slice of cake? Spending all your paycheck on nothing but art decor and photography software? How about popping just one more xanax? Well great job! You have just invited the Prince of Pleasure to make her way over to tempt you into selling your soul for the BEST and most gratifying experiences you could ever want!

Ever hock a loogie that was super big and chunky and looked like if it was any bigger it would be walkin and talkin and ordering room service? WELL! Thats good ole Papa Nurgle if he wasnt a behemoth of a monstrous god of disease and rot.

Blood for the blood god, skulls for the skull throne of Khorne! WH40K has tons of dark gods littering its cosmic landscape and my favorite is easily the lord of rage and battle, Khorne!

I talk about zombies a lot but one of the classic era of movie monsters that I think gets over looked all the time are mummies! But whats the difference?
