When I started this little post-apocalyptic journey seven episodes ago, it was with a question about tone. Was Fallout, at its core, a comedy or a tragedy? But it’s a false distinction, in a lot of ways. As our old pal Bud Askins might tell us, either in his flesh body, or trapped with his brain rolling around inside…

To call Rebel Moon—Part Two: The Scargiver pastiche is to oversell it. As was the case in Part One—A Child Of Fire, The Scargiver is an unmistakable blend of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai and George Lucas’ Star Wars, so obvious in its make that pointing out the origin of its parts is redundant. The Scargiver doesn’t…

Netflix was the first to get the big idea, of course, realizing that, since they’d essentially sidestepped Nielsen ratings entirely (with the polling…

In news practically as inevitable as humanity’s innate impulse to annihilate itself in a burst of cleansing nuclear fire, Amazon has confirmed today that it’s renewing Fallout for a second season of post-apocalyptic Prime Video TV. This is not a shock, in so far as the series (executive produced by Westworld’s…

Apologies to all the dorks out there with their YouTube channels, but the rain in Seven isn’t the mood-setter you think it is. In an interview with The Los Angeles Times celebrating the [ahem] 8K IMAX re-release of Seven (we’re really looking forward to seeing “Sloth” in glorious 8K), director David Fincher dispelled…

It’s a given, in this day and age, that the streets are extended gutters, and the gutters are full of blood, and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. But did we also know that there are some pretty interesting Hollywood what-ifs floating in that river of blood, particularly surrounding Zack…

Despite the fact that Hollywood’s actors and writers went on strike in part because of the encroachment of AI just this past summer, we’ve already seen the technology pop up more during the past few months.
