Watch Sarah Jane Smith’s Final Doctor Who Adventure, Cut Down to Just 30 Minutes

While Doctor Who might be fine with telling adventures over the course of a single, 50-odd-minute episode these days, back in its classic iteration, serials could run twice as long or even longer, broken up into 30-minute chunks over the course of several weeks.

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man Is a Cautionary Tale About the Power Men Wield

We, and Peter Parker, have heard it a zillion times before: with great power, comes great responsibility.

Another day, another war for the fate of Cybertron, and things are looking dire in Netflix and Rooster Teeth’s take on the latest version of the Transformers origin story.
