Who would turn down watching anything about dogs? Who wouldn’t want to see man’s best friend gallivanting across their television screen, engaged in any number of class canine activities, be it slobbering, chasing their own tail, or marching down a trailhead with an oversized stick dangling precariously out of their mouth?

The creature was first featured in the 1974 horror comedy Dark Star, a creation from director John Carpenter, concept artist Ron Cobb, and screenwriter Dan O’Bannon. O’Bannon had the wherewithal to make a horror film about a stowaway alien that looked real. He caught the attention of fellow screenwriter Ronald Shusett, who was at work on Total Recall. Together, they wrote one of the best horror and science fiction films of all time....

The Good A brilliant show that attacks the Right just as much as the Left. The Bad I would love more special features on these discs. They can pack the Highlander TV show with boatloads of extras but not All In The Family? All In The Family - The Complete Fifth Season won a Golden Globe and was nominated for 4 Emmys. It is an example of TV writing at it’s finest....

Barry is one of the most widely loved shows currently on television. Not only is the show loved by critics, but fans of all ages (maybe not ALL ages) love the show as well. This is due to the perfect blend of drama and comedy, spearheaded by the titular Barry himself, Bill Hader. Hader takes on the role (and writes and directs some episodes) perfectly; he is able to perfectly meld the two genres in a way that consistently keeps audiences engaged....

DC’s Robin is perhaps the most well-known superhero sidekick of all time. Originally devised as a means to attract young readership for DC, the many iterations of Robin went well beyond marketing gimmicks to established themselves as one of the key superhero identities in the Batverse. Of course, it’s not just his association with The Dark Knight that makes Robin a beloved character. Fighting alongside the Caped Crusader since his first comic book appearance in the 40s, Robin has undergone numerous transformations....

The LGBTQ+ community has been an important part of horror for many years. Queer audiences have always been drawn to the genre, but despite this, the genre hasn’t always shown them the same love. Famous horror directors like Clive Barker, Don Mancini, and Stewart Thorndike have always included some form of representation in their works, but mostly on a subtextual level. There are not many horror films that represent queer individuals normally, but these stories are not nonexistent....

TikTok is a social media platform which has become surprisingly massive in the past few years, despite being owned by a Chinese conglomerate with ties to China’s government. Its algorithm allows many people to see and follow others they would never interact with. Once the TikTok algorithm receives a sense of what you enjoy, you will be shown videos from that ‘side’ of TikTok. For example, for those who watch films, it would be called “filmtok” or “movietok....

However, in animated films, food is used as a tool that adds to the story.

Some of these films leave the audience’s mouths watering for the delicious dishes that only exist in their animated dreams....

As simple as it may appear, a creepy forest is one of the most influential horror movie settings of all time. Creepy movies that take place in the forest come in all sizes and shapes and stretch across a much more extensive scope of movie history than some horror movie enthusiasts may realize.
