SciFi4Me: Live From the Bunker

Warner Bros. just can't catch a break! There's a new lawsuit alleging that WB stole the idea for SPACE JAM from a short story originally published in "Playboy" back in 1984 -- before Michael Jordan became the star of the Chicago Bulls and the NBA. Plus: a new Willy Wonka, new Twitch tags, and a follow-up about race-swapping that just proves Mr. Boss right. Tip Jar: https://www.paypal.me/scifi4me S...

Katie Nickolaou knew from an early age, that she wanted to be a meteorologist.

The news hit over the weekend, and it took everyone by surprise. AT&T, after spending billions to acquire Time-Warner, is now re-organizing everything to spin WarnerMedia out for a new merger with Discovery. And even though AT&T still owns part of the new company, the word is that this is their surrender. The telecommunications company is getting out of the media side of things. Lots of sh...

Back in October 2020, we had a chance to interview Duncan Swan about his debut novel, MONSTRE, and for whatever reason lost to the ravages of time and distraction, that interview never aired.

And yes, we're going to post a review ASAP. https://www.dun...

Yes, it's May the Fourth. And you know what that means... It means Disney's taken something that the fans made up for themselves and turned it into a marketing extravaganza! Toys! Clothes!

We've seen plenty of discussion about how the STAR TREK universe gives us a glimpse of a type of utopian society. No money (except when there is), no hostiles between Earthlings (except when there is), no petty wars, no poverty, no wants. But how do we get there? Is this a universe based on the teachings of Karl Marx? Is Communism the way to get there? Plus: an unboxing! Article: https://www.start...

Over the past week, there's been a lot of online appreciation for actor Brendan Fraser, and it seems to have sprung up spontaneously. Meanwhile, also popping up on socials: Ta-Nehisi Coates and his apparent use of Dr. Jordan Peterson's advice for the Red Skull's next scheme. And people are none too keen on it.
