Review by C.J. Bunce The latest Aliens novel will come as a surprise to fans of the Alien franchise and tie-in novels.

Review by C.J. Bunce Not all TV shows are made for binge watching. Case in point: The Umbrella Academy, now streaming on Netflix. The TV series is based on a six-issue comic book series created and written by Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Bá. Most comic adaptations for the screen have more content to […]
The aliens have arrived. It’s flat-out one of our favorite sci-fi sub-genres. The alien invasion flick.

Review by C.J. Bunce The humor of AMC’s new series Lodge 49 pulls from those oddball, off-the-wall comedies of the past. The unlikely situational family antics of the Eddie Izzard series The Riches.
