Rick and Morty’s willingness to blatantly riff on and make fun of narrative tropes seen in scifi/pop culture is a large part of what makes the show so fun. While the show works perfectly find as 2D animation, it’s even more satisfying to see Rick and Morty getting into all kinds of craziness in as…

Dave Made a Maze Aims To Pull People Into a Crazy Cool Papercraft Adventure

The trailer for indie fantasy comedy Dave Made a Maze invokes the old Doctor Who TARDIS joke about being bigger on the inside.

Contact Is More Than a Movie About Science vs. Religion

When Contact first opened, 20 years ago today, I thought it was a masterpiece.
