  1. 1 Year On, I Still Don’t Understand The Hate For Netflix’s Notorious Sci-Fi Bomb (& I’m Not Alone)

    March 2025 was a strange time to be a sci-fi fan, and I’m still not convinced the pitch…

  2. Okay, so, the thing is. I'm really hyped about this #RPG system (#TheElectricState), and haven't seen any #ActualPlay of it yet. So when I have seen this, I've decided to give it a go.
    Session 0? Not really fascinating, but they are not exactly supposed to be, right? I still like when acutal plays give the listener a way to look 'under the hood', see all the gritty mechanical stuff related to character creation, and also it just helps to gauge how complicated the system is.
    Session one, was, well, definitely paced differently then I'm used to. But when I reached the of it, I was surprised to discover, that I am actually so invested in the characters, that I need to listen to the next episode right now. And then I discovered that it is a retrospection episode, so I groaned and decided to reconsider the next day.
    Next day is today, I'm finishing the third session, and despite the pacing and the semi-uncomfortable way of listening to the thing, I'm fully sold, really invested, and will defend these queer dorks (I mean the characters) with my life if called upon.
    So, IDK, maybe sometimes it's worth to wait and see before you decide you don't like something? I don't know, I'm not the boss of you, but it worked out for me.
    9/10, will binge until there's nothing left. Give moar.

  4. Tonight's terrible sci fi movie is The Electric State. Cost $320million, every single cliché and trope is utterly beaten to death in this slog of CGI. You honestly hope everyone dies just to make it end.

    That awful Chris Pratt is in it as well.

  9. I'd heard some pretty poor reviews of The Electric State but decided to give it a watch this evening and thought it was reasonably good. Nothing surprising, nothing innovative, but an enjoyable couple of hours with nice imagery, okay set pieces, and emotional elements enough to make my wife sob a little, although that's an admittedly low bar.

  14. I'm just going to say it - there are worse movies than The Electric State. I can see people's complaints with it, but it held my attention and was mildly entertaining. I feel like it got dog piled

    It has no business costing as much to make as it did.

    It's no worse than the minecraft movie and I actually paid for me and my kids to see that. The fact that one can be a success and the other panned, seems odd.
