For a movie that preserves the 2010s type of speculative sci-fi in a 1980s story arc, Watch the Skies delivers quirky Swedish weirdness in a story that makes sense without being saccharine.
No CommentsThe Blues Brothers (1980)
We thinking apes who live through memories of conclusions derived from event change in sense simulacra of the world find ourselves continually going over memory, wondering if what we know now is what we knew then and if it is even real.

Runaway (1984)
As AI and automation rise into mass consciousness, it is worth revisiting this Michael Crichton film from 1984 which points out that if a tool is made universal, it will also be hacked by some dark actors.

The normie content you expect: let’s celebrate a very metal Christmas! Throw up the horns and hail Santa! What’s the best way you can think of to celebrate Christmas as a metalhead?

Hirayasumi (2025)
The name translates to “regular day off” or other notions of a break from the manic pace of society, and this defines the charters involved, especially Hirohito the protagonist, who has essentially dropped out of the rat race to enjoy normal life to the dismay of all of those around him.
