The Nomads of Fantasy

Terminator 2: Judgment Day isn't just one of the greatest action movies ever made—it's one of the greatest sequels ever made. Instead of simply repeating the formula from the first film, it flips the entire story on its head by turning the original villain into the hero. That single decision completely changes the dynamic of the movie while raising the stakes, and it's a big reason why...

Get ready for our Summer of Sequels! And what better way to kick things off than with Aliens, a film widely considered one of the greatest sequels ever made. Director James Cameron takes everything that worked in the original and turns it up to eleven. While "more of everything" can sometimes be a recipe for disaster, Aliens proves it can be the perfect approach. The film answers the quest...

Hello nomads and let's talk about some obscure characters from the world of Star Wars. We're going deep, but we found some funny, some tragic tales to characters who either say one word in an entire film, or literally have just two seconds of screen time. We sourced a ton of information from our friends over at Wookiepedia.org. "Wookieepedia" is a fan-created online encyclopedia fo...

Give these people airrrrrr! Total Recall, is a sci-fi classic. It's got Arnold Schwarzenegger at his prime of being an action hero. But let's not forget this movie was based on a Philip K.

It has Pretty solid CG effects for i...

Let's sneak into Escape from New York , John Carpenter’s cult classic that blends dystopian sci-fi with gritty action.

As part of our RIP Reiner series, and joined by our guest and fan of the show, Thijis, our attention goes to The Princess Bride as we celebrate the life and legacy of the late director, Rob Reiner. Few films feel as singular as The Princess Bride . It’s endlessly quotable, beautifully cast, driven by Mark Knopfler’s unforgettable score, and packed with dialogue that somehow gets funnier—and more h...

Weapons feels like another strong entry in what we see as a new era of great modern horror. We loved the unique way the film was shot, the unsettling suburban setting, and especially the standout performance from all of the actors, even the main kid actor — which added a lot of emotional weight to the story. While some of the director’s symbolism felt a bit clunky and a few ideas went over our hea...

Revisit the 1993 sci-fi action classic Demolition Man and discover that it’s way better (and funnier) than you remembered.
