M3GAN 2.0 (2025)Directed By: Gerard JohnstoneStarring: Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Amie Donald, That Guy from Flight of the ConchordsWe talked about the original M3GAN back in 2023, and to both of our surprise, we generally liked it. This time around, M3GAN is back, and it's a bit of a tonal shift, to say the least. M3GAN has a T2 moment and has to deal with a new foe. IMDB.com has this to say about M3GAN 2.0: "Two years after M3GAN's rampage, her creator, Gemma, resorts to resurrecting her

You may know Brandon's other big title, "The Crow", but Rapid Fire lets him show off a little more of his move set. IMDB has this to say about Rapid Fire: "When student Jake Lo

Night of the Comet (1984)Directed By: Thom EberhardtStarring: Catherine Mary Stewart, Kelli Maroney, Robert Beltran, Juliet Lewis' dadI think it's safe to say that the 1984 classic film Night of the Comet is a cult classic in some ways. It blends multiple genres like Sci-Fi, Horror and Comedy into the story of two girls who've survived Earth's apocalyptic journey through the tail of a comet. IMDB describes Night of the Comet thusly: "A comet wipes out most of life on Earth,
