Anaconda (2025) – Tom Gormican
Rebooting the Anaconda series as a comedy with horror aspects was a pretty clever idea. And the film delivers a silly and relatable story, and it lets Paul Rudd and Jack Black have a good time together. There’s an earnest story here as the pair play childhood friends, alongside Steve Zahn, and Thandiwe Newton, who…
Revenge of the Nerds (1984) – Jeff Kanew
I haven’t watched this film since 1984. I remember laughing a lot, but also at 12 years old in the 80s, I didn’t get all the jokes. So I figured I might as well check in on this one, and see how it stands up. I’ll be honest, the first half of the film is…

Lionel (John Glover) is determined to learn Clark’s (Tom Welling) secret, so much so that he tracks down, and attempts to make a deal with Virgil Swann (Christopher Reeve) in Legacy. Written by Jeph Loeb, this episode was first broadcast on 14 April, 2004. But that isn’t the only thing Clark has to worry about…
Graveyard Shift (1990) – Ralph S. Singleton
It’s bad. It’s so bad. Graveyard Shift, based on th short story by Stephen King, has been dismissed by the author. It’s not as unnerving as the story, and it’s nowhere near as well-produced as it could have been. The only upside is that a lot of it was actually shot in Maine. It also…

We get more domestic stories with The Farkas Fracas. 99 (Barbara Feldon) is playing housewife, sigh, what a waste, as Max (Don Adams) and the Chief (Edward Platt) take on KAOS agents. The story, written by Allan Burns, Chris Hayward, Arne Sultan, and Leonard Stern first aired on 7 December, 1968. Mx invites the Chief…
Stargate: Universe (2010) – Visitation, and Resurgnce

Storm of the Century (1999) – Part 3
The final episode of Stephen King’s miniseries initially aired on 18 February, 1999. After lots of set up, we race towards the reveal of what Andre Linoge (Colm Feore) wants.
