What we’re Enjoying

Jay is having a great time with the third and final season of Marvel’s What If…? on Disney+. Great tales in the Marvel multiverse with your favorite character and even voiced by many of the original actors from the live action movies and series. Shua has been getting very retro by listening to the great Satchamo himself, Louis Armstrong. He was an amazing jazz talent with a legacy that will endure forever. 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay writes about the 2009 reboot of Star Trek with Chris Pine, Zach Quinto, and a variety of talented actors and actresses that give their interpretations of the beloved characters. It divided fans a bit, but there were great things in this, the first of three movies.

What we’re Enjoying

Shua found a new series of books by an author named Dennis E. Taylor. It’s all about a guy named Bob, who’s been revived 150 years after his death in the 21st century and had his consciousness placed inside a self-replicating computer, spaceship. His directive is to find a new home for the dying human race. Soon he has the makings of many copies of himself, creating the Bob-iverse. Jay has been enjoying James Gunn’s first DC release in the animated series Creature Commandos on Max. An adult show that is proving to be a unique take on the superhero/monster genre

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay pulled a lot of resources to review Push. It’s a different kind of superhero movie and features Dakota Fanning and a pre-MCU Chris Evans. He also tells us about a little known sci-fi movie called Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel. It takes all the tropes of time travel movies and throws it into a fun comedy. Read his article on RetroZap.com.  And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com.

What we’re Enjoying

Jay has been spending some quality time in his old stomping grounds of California. It’s been a while since he’s been there, and it’s nice to visit. Shua read another crazy John Scalzi series called the Dispatcher. A world where the murdered come back to life.
