The Last Kids on Earth: Fun If A Little Shallow

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts: Unique Children’s Post-Apocalypse
Kipo Takes Kid’s TV To Interesting Places Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is a fascinating piece of children’s media for one major reason above all: it’s post-apocalyptic. The world is broken, battered, and it seems like most humans are dead or in hiding. That’s a very dark place to take a children’s series that…
Snowpiercer on Track to Television
If more films are going to be adapted into shows for television then I’m kind of okay with this one. You see, the film Snowpiercer was released in 2013 to critical and fan acclaim, but if you ask me not enough people saw it. It is currently available to watch via Instant Streaming on Netflix…
Fallout 4 Fulfills
Holidays are a stressful time for everyone, I would say especially gamers. Yeah, we have to buy gifts and spend an uncomfortable amount of time with extended family, but also we have to make some really tough decisions. Which holiday releases will I buy? The past month was especially tough with many popular titles being…
WEEK OF CHAOS: “Garbage Man”
(NOTE BEFORE READING: Use the links. They’re your friends.) We begin our Week of Chaos (READ THIS) with a piece that requires little introduction. Among our oldest Friday Fiction pieces, “Garbage Man” was requested by the Editor-in-Chief of Sci-Fi Bloggers to be prepared and ready for the upcoming segment in one night. And so it was that Brandon Scott became…
BOOK REVIEW: The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
I think there might be something wrong with science fiction writers. Which is quite the statement, because I am a science fiction writer. Why do we like to end the world so much? What is so inherently appealing about destroying it? Is it because we have a grudge against society, and this is our way…
Cimmerian Needs YOU!

But what happens when survivors are given a choice between staying alive and possibly saving the world? Cimmerian takes place three years after a virus created by a group called…

(Retro) Review: Dredd (2012)
Dredd (2012) from DNA Film Productions Author’s Note: Lest my readers be confused, this is a special edition of the “Retro Review” series in that this film is not retro at all. The reason for this is two-fold. First, the British sci-fi comics series about Judge Dredd, set in post-apocalyptic America, are fairly important in…
Retro Review: Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)
Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985) from Kennedy Miller Productions The Fast Facts: Who: Directed by Australians George Miller (Mad Max, Mad Max: Road Warrior) and George Ogilvie, acted by scruffy Aussie Mel Gibson, and with an eye-catching performance by non-Aussie Tina Turner. What: The third in the Mad Max series about a rough and ready…
Things That Should Be Kept in a Vault in Case the Aliens Blow Us Up
These are not in order of importance. Stephen King Yes, I realize it might be illegal to put a human being in a vault, but it’s not like we’re going to starve him to death. He’ll have food, books, a TV, whatever he wants. The reason King should be in the vault…if you have to…
The Hunger Games Is A Mixed Bag
This is N. Demmy’s final piece with us. You may know him as the creator of our “Retrospectacle” series. Though he’ll be moving on to other things, we’ll definitely miss his intellectual, humorous reviews of older films (including this one). Thanks, N. Demmy, for all the great work you did. You’re the reason I decided…
