Movie Franchise Rewatch – Star Trek IX: Insurrection
Insurrection is one of those movies that you kind of forget about after seeing, which explains my inability to get this review out on time. It’s very…lightweight. To its credit, it feels like a middle of the road Star Trek: The Next Generation episode. I say credit, because a middle of the road TNG ep…

Top Ginger Kitties – The 6 Orange Cats in Sci Fi and Fantasy Movie Franchises
What is it about cats who are orange — and the movies? Especially in major, iconic science fiction and fantasy film franchises? It must be a ginger thing. There are mild movie spoilers here. But these aren’t new films, so all should be right in the universe. Further disclaimer: no curiosity killed any cat in…

Movie Review – Mortal Kombat
I used to play MK back in the 90s, but haven’t played it since and haven’t kept up with the mythology built around it. My wife has never played the video game and was confused by the plot and asked many questions. I told her she was overthinking it. There’s good guys and bad guys…

Movie Franchise Review – Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Looking over the entire Star Trek movie franchise, there are good ones, great ones, and outright poor ones. Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country is one of the good ones, and just misses being great. I’d say it falls lower than Wrath of Khan, The Voyage Home, and First Contact, but feels on a part…

—

Movie Review – Voyagers (2021)
—
Voyagers was a decent movie. It was very predictable but there were such strong performances given, I will overlook that. Namely Tye Sheridan. I’ve seen him in multiple roles now and there is just something about him that I like. I hope to see him go far with his career. There was a ton of…

Star Trek Movies and the Bechdel Test — How do they stand up after all this time?
I wrote an article on how the Star Wars films stood up to the Bechdel Test, which is a simple measurement to determine whether any named female characters have a conversation about something other than men. This is not a stance for feminist debate so much as an observation. For what it’s worth, lets dive…

Godzilla vs Kong — Get ready for the Monsterverse finale with these modern-era Kaiju and Kong reviews
Godzilla vs Kong opens next week and at RunPee we’re very excited. Kong, the King himself, has a very special place in our hearts, since when RunPee Dan and I saw Peter Jackson’s King Kong in 2005 we came up with the entire idea for RunPee (go during the Valley of the Bugs scene —…
