What we’re Enjoying

Shua is trying to get through all the great things he’s been enjoying the last couple months. And in the meantime he’s been listening to some Christmas music. And NO! He’s not ashamed of it at all. Jay has been watching a series on Peacock called The Resort. It’s an interesting mystery that stars Cristin Milioti and William Jackson Harper about a couple that make some interesting finds on a resort island. 



 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week Sci-Fi Saturdays returns. Jay examines the 2007 space movie Sunshine. The movie is about a group of astronauts that are reigniting the sun, but what’s more interesting is the impressive cast. Cillian Murphy, Michelle Yeoh, Rose Byrne, Benedict Wong, and Chris Evans are among the big names that are found in this movie that has drifted into obscurity.  Read his article on RetroZap.com.  And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. There are some new locations from Agents of SHIELD season 3. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.



Enjoy TV! 

When Gene Roddenberry was trying to get Star Trek off the ground, it took a lot of convincing of executives, the help of influential stars, and a lot of reworking of ideas, stories, and characters. They created the pilot and it wasn’t quite up to the standards that would manage to get it on the air. But eventually, the classic episodes we know and love did find their way to our TVs. Much has been written about and discussed about it’s legacy and influence, and we share some of the episodes that made it special to us. Brace for impact and get ready to explore Star Trek the original series.
