What we're Enjoying

Shua has been watching Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 and found it very faithful to the book, even if the pacing felt a bit slow at times. He's still enjoying the journey and is happy to know a third season is already on the way. Jay is diving into Star Trek: Starfleet Academy on Paramount+ and was pleasantly surprised by its quality and tone. Holly Hunter stands out, and Jay appreciates that the show doesn't talk down to younger viewers while still feeling very much like Star Trek.

Sci-Fi Saturdays -

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay looks at Life (2017), a tense and claustrophobic sci-fi thriller about scientists aboard the ISS discovering a rapidly evolving life form from Mars. It's gripping and well made, but definitely not something you throw on when you're looking for a feel-good movie night.Read his article on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.

Enjoy The Moon!

This week, Jay and Shua take a giant leap through the Moon's long history in fiction, film, and real-world exploration. From early writers imagining lunar voyages to Hollywood's evolving obsession with moon bases, secret missions, and alien mysteries, the Moon has always been a perfect sci-fi playground.

They also look at how real lunar exploration influenced pop culture, from the Apollo missions to the upcoming Artemis II launch, and why the Moon continues to inspire stories across science fiction, fantasy, horror, music, and comics. Whether it's astronauts, superheroes, or werewolves, the Moon always finds a way to steal the spotlight.
