New DVD release, , , , , ,
Legendary filmmaker George A. Romero may have left this plane of existence in 2017, but his legacy — the post-apocalyptic zombie movie genre that he created — lives on. According to the THR, Romero was working before his death on Twilight of the Dead, a film that would have been his final statement on the subject and the last installment in the series that included the groundbreaking Night of the Living Dead (1968), Dawn of the Dead (1979), Day of the Dead (1985), and others. Now Romero’s widow Suzanne, who has been developing the script that her late husband started…

Twilight: What Was The Deal With Jacob and Renesmee?

New DVD release, ,
Stephenie Meyer was truly on her bullshit when she wrote the Twilight saga, and over a decade later, we are still asking ourselves why we let her get away with it. However you feel about her work, there is no denying the cultural shift that happened when a vampire became a disco ball instead of a pile of ashes when they stepped into the sun. Meyers’… interesting… take on the undead has remained in the public imagination since the first book’s release in 2005, and people are still searching for the why and the how of Meyers’ universe more than…

The Watch Episode 4 Review: Twilight Canyons

New DVD release, , , ,
This The Watch review contains spoilers. The Watch Episode 4 “Twilight Canyons” embraces The Watch’s theme of being “inspired by,” but not adapting, Pratchett’s Discworld novels through its blink-or-you’ll-miss-it references to several of the books less closely related to the adventures of Vimes and company. In that, it progresses its own plot much further, and only delves into the over-the-top silliness of the previous episode briefly, making it feel as though this series may come into its own in the next few episodes. At the end of the last episode, Carcer, his union-forming goblin entourage, and female wizard companion Wonce,…

The Twilight Zone New Year’s Marathon 2020 / 2021 Schedule

New DVD release, ,
It was a year befitting of Rod Serling’s TV classic. Now that we’ve lived a full trip around the sun in The Twilight Zone, maybe we’ll find even deeper meaning in its parables. Or we’ll continue to ignore them completely as our planet descends into chaos. Either way, the annual Twilight Zone New Year’s Day Marathon continues on SYFY for our viewing pleasure. The marathon spans three days, from Thursday, Dec. 31 at 6:00 a.m., kicking off with The Twilight Zone’s inaugural episode, “Where Is Everybody,” until Saturday, Jan. 2 at 5:30 a.m with “The Bewitchin’ Pool,” the 156th and…

How The Twilight Zone Influenced Are You Afraid of the Dark?

New DVD release, ,
In the last half decade, D.J. McHale has noticed a significant uptick in interest in Are You Afraid of the Dark?, the Nickelodeon anthology series he co-created nearly 30 years ago. Though he spent much of his career as a television writer, director, and producer, he’s had a successful second act as an author of sci-fi, fantasy, and supernatural novels. When fans of his novels put it together that he also produced all 91 episodes of the original run of the Nickelodeon classic, he started receiving an outpour of appreciation.  “Suddenly this wave of social media came to me about…

Unpublished Alan Moore DC Story Pitch: Twilight of the Superheroes Coming to Print

New DVD release, , , , , ,
DC’s new comics solicitations for November, 2020, were full of surprises, but there may not be a bigger shock than the announcement that they would be publishing Alan Moore’s pitch for Twilight of the Superheroes.

The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 10 Review: You Might Also Like

New DVD release, , , ,
This The Twilight Zone review contains spoilers. The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 10 The Twilight Zone was always a little bit hokey and that is a part of its charm. It was often stylized, sometimes funny, frequently heightened and not always realistic. We can’t criticize it for that. But season 2 episode 10 ‘You Might Also Like’ is a melee of all of the above in ways that largely speaking don’t work at all; the humor doesn’t land, the story requires Bond-villain-style exposition for it to even make sense and the satire is heavy handed and mean spirited. A…

The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 8 Review: A Small Town

New DVD release, , , ,
This THE TWILIGHT ZONE review contains spoilers. The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 8 In my spoiler-free review of Season 2 of the new Twilight Zone, I touched upon how the new iteration of the show struggles with delivering lessons. The original Twilight Zone stories were frequently morality plays, with deep themes that commented on current or evergreen societal issues, often in unexpected ways that packed a punch. The 2020 version of the series still attempts to warn viewers against the evils of being shallow or being careful what you wish for, but it never quite says anything deeper about our current…

The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 9 Review: Try, Try

New DVD release, , ,
This The Twilight Zone review contains spoilers. The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 9 Time loops are awesome. Time loops are usually your favorite episode of any given sci-fi show, or, in the case of Russian Doll, the premise of a great sci-fi show. That said, because of the circular nature of time loops, it’s hard to do something new with time loops. In the penultimate episode of season 2 of the new Twilight Zone,  writer Alex Rubens tries—and mostly succeeds—in giving a new edge to a time loop story. In “Try, Try” the Zone presents a spin on the…

The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 7 Review: A Human Face

New DVD release, , , ,
This TWILIGHT ZONE review contains spoilers. The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 7 It may be the fact that 2020 is a better episode of The Twilight Zone than any writer could ever conceive of, or that we’re living in an actual dystopian nightmare, or that we’ve seen enough real-life monsters to be desensitized to them when we see them on our screens, that makes “A Human Face” feel so aggressively meh. Sure, we haven’t had a cosmic event and alien visitors chewing on our furniture —yet— but certainly, if it were to occur, it wouldn’t be the weirdest thing…

The Twilight Zone : Season One

New DVD release,
Recommended The Movie:Rod Serling's efforts on the original The Twilight Zone is, in a word, legendary and it remains, decades since it debuted, an incredibly influential body of work. The series was revived in the second half of the eighties and then again in the early two thousands an in April of 2019, Jordon Peele, Simon Kinberg and Marco Ramirez brough the popular anthology series back, albeit this time to CBS's streaming platform, CBS All Access. Peele not only serves as one of the show's executive producers, but also as the host and narrator, just as Serling did in the…
