There's a lot of grey area in terms of the sci-fi genre. Is “The Terminator” a sci-fi movie or a slasher horror film? I was faced with this argument the other day. I don't stand firmly on either side of the fence. Through and through, “The Terminator” is a sci-fi flick, but it's so much more than that. It's not quite a full-action film, but the elements are there where I'd forgive someone for making that classification. Based on James Cameron's original intentions, it is a horror sci-fi movie .…

Say what you will about the fourth and fifth entries in the Indiana Jones series . No, seriously. Say anything you want. Those movies aren't very good and I think Steven Spielberg knows it. The original trilogy, however, consists of three incredible, classic films. That's indisputable Do you remember the first time you ever watched Indiana Jones? When I was around four or five, my uncle thought “Raiders of the Lost Ark” would be a good movie to bond over, so he put it on. Other than the face-me…

Happy Friday, nerds and geeks! We're back once again for your weekly dose of everything sci-fi. There's a lot that the sci-fi genre has to offer. Like, an incomprehensible number of things. You've got poppier sci-fi, the sort of stuff that appeals to a more general audience with a little bit less technicalities to think of. Star Trek and Star Wars, for example. You've got harder sci-fi, stuff that is a bit more complicated. Something like Dune, which I admittedly could never get into, but the s…

The trailer is out and the takes are hot

Happy Wednesday, nerds, dorks, and Jedi! It's that time of the week, once again, to get your fix on everything humorously Force related. Now let's talk some Star Wars. It's a pretty big week in terms of the Star Wars content hype train. I've sort of given up on the majority of the Disney Plus Star Wars series . The third season of “The Mandalorian” was downright bad in my opinion. I pretty much gave up halfway through. The continuous drop in quality from a stellar first season is just so disapp…

What's your favorite science fiction movie of all time? It's a massive and incredibly influential pool to pick from, but I'm going with “Robocop” every day of the week. It's campy, well done for its time, incredible satire, and it's just so, so entertaining. Robocop is just iconic. Obviously, ignore how much the owners of the property morphed the character into the Saturday morning cartoon hero that the original movie lambasts. It's the perfect sci-fi premise. A good, morally-sound man has not…

Meme makers are some of the most selfless individuals on this planet. They put in the effort: they find the image, they think of something funny and/or relatable, then they go on to create the meme itself. The thing is most of these content creators know that the meme they have just made now belongs to the internet . They can put a watermark on it or post it on their personal page, but once that meme reaches the online public it's just a fact that it will be shared without credit. Meme creators…

These are strong with the force

This may be hard for some people to believe, but millennials weren't always the weary, depressed, broke people lined up to order the latest take on avocado toast or specialty coffee beverages. Nay, we were once young and full of life and hope. Just kidding, we were once young and battling an incredibly toxic culture surrounding body image that seemed to come at us from all angles. While the thin and sickly “heroin chic" look had fallen out of style by the mid-nineties, slimness was still the ph…

Happy Monday, Marvel Cinematic Universe fanatics! We're back once again for your weekly dose of Marvel gaffs and superhero memes. It hasn't been a very eventful week in terms of Marvel news. That's not particularly interesting, but sometimes no news is good news, right? The new “Secret Invasion” Disney Plus series is… continuing, I guess. The first two episodes haven't shown us anything particularly impactful or interesting. I'm still holding out hope for a bump in quality. There's a lot that M…

Ruh roh, Scooby-Doo memes

Plus, the Grimace shake saga continues.

21 July = movie history

Happy Monday Marvel fans and superhero heads. It’s that special time of the week when we spend a minute discussing the MCU and indulging in its memes. This week has been somewhat notable considering the premiere of Disney Plus’ “Secret Invasion,” the newest show in the Marvels line of streaming service television shows. After watching it, I’d probably rate it as highly average. That’s not necessarily bad, but a premiere with more excitement would have been preferable when you consider the recen…
