    Parasite or symbiote? That’s the question at the core of the 2020 Russian chiller Sputnik. In 1984’s Kazakhstan, a space module returns to Earth carrying two cosmonauts, and in turn one of those spacefarers may be carrying something else. Something otherworldly. Confined to a military installation with seemingly no...
  • The Saiyan’s Make Themselves Known

    Before we get started I’m going to give you a little background info on me and Dragon Ball Z. (Also, check out my prior article explaining how I’m watching DBZ in fantastic 4:3 HD Blu-Ray goodness.) I was born in 1994. So I was the right age for the...
