The Seven Droids We Love from Star Wars (and what exactly they do)
We love our Star Wars Droids, big and little, especially when they are funny or maybe cute. Moreso when they are funny AND cute — like R2-D2 and BB-8. Every live-action Star Wars movie (plus The Mandalorian) has at least one memorable Droid character tagging along with their human owners. (Yes, Droids are considered property.…

Two Must See Science Fiction Spoof Film Documentaries (plus: the most ‘inconceivable’ parody of a spoof)
It’s hard to make a decent movie spoof for a beloved franchise, and being in the science fiction genre doesn’t make things any easier.

A Buffy Revival – Vampires Spike and Angel Could Absolutely Do a Movie
Note the following: David Boreanaz says he’s done playing Angel. Joss Whedon (creator, writer, editor, director, minor deity) has also said he’d make a Buffy movie if the heavens willed it so. We think David would return with the right offer. With Bones finished, isn’t he free now? And I don’t think James Marsters (Spike)…

Terminator TV Series: The Carlenator
Ahoy there. Spoilers for Terminator: Dark Fate ahead! Terminator: Dark Fate isn’t blowing the doors off the box office. It opened with a slightly disappointing weekend of $29 million: $1 million below expectations.
