What we’re Enjoying

After writing about Serenity for Sci-Fi Saturdays, Jay couldn’t help going back to check out the 2002 series Firefly. It was such a great idea for a new universe. While we wish we could have gotten more episodes, we are grateful for the ones we have. Shua watched the new Ron Howard documentary about an entertainment icon. Jim Henson: Idea Man laid out the interesting and sometimes disjointed life of the main behind the Muppets. It’s a very enlightening watch. 

 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay breaks down the groundbreaking and almost experimental 2006 film A Scanner Darkly. It’s an animated film starring Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr. and several other well-known Hollywood elite. Based on a 1977 novel by Philip K. Dick, it takes place in a dystopian future but has some important messages for us today. Check out the breakdown now. Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. There are some new locations from Deadpool 1 and 2 in preparation for the new movie. Plus, you can tune in to  SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.  

 

Enjoy Movies! 

In the 1940s, Hollywood had found a strong audience for monster movies. Dracula, Frankenstein, and many more. We also craved our sci-fi attacks. But what if we started pitting some of those creatures against each other? It’s like the classic boxing matches that everyone got excited for. 

 

When Godzilla arrived on screen, it didn’t take long to see how the battles could be even bigger! (pun intended) Those ‘vs’ movies started with him battling another behemoth star named King Kong. The pandora’s box of ‘vs’ ideas had been open and now creators were matching all kinds of characters so that now we have a whole slew of exciting flicks. Jay and Shua generate a random list of characters and try to decide who would win if they made a movie with them.
