The 5 most brilliant sci-fi movie quotes of the decade (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are still a few years left in the 2020s, but it’s already been a fantastic decade for science fiction movies. The Dune films are likely the biggest highlight, as director Denis Villeneuve has finally brought the proper scale to Frank Herbert’s novels from the 1960s. The 2010s were certainly a better decade for the superhero sub-genre of sci-fi than the 2020s have been, particularly for Marvel Studios, but there have still been some breakout comic book films like Deadpool & Wolverine, Super
'The Simpsons' Producer Officially Reveals new Treehouse of Horror Plans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This past weekend on The Simpsons, Homer made a rather surprising transformation (especially for a non-Halloween episode). While he’s always been a bit overweight, the episode saw him change into an actual hippopotamus, but it all made sense within the context of the episode. Written by Dan Vebber, the season 38 season premiere of The Simpsons is titled, "The Children's Book Job," and it's about reclusive children’s book author Constance Clavinger (Emma Thompson) coming to Springfield Elementary
Snoopy's 5 Greatest 'Peanuts' Quotes of All Time, Ranked (opens the original)
Read excerpt
That’s the greatest-ever quote about Snoopy. It’s from the Peanuts comic strip that ran on April 25, 1960, and while you might assume Charlie Brown would be the one to say it, being that he’s Snoopy’s owner, it’s Lucy who utters the profound little phrase. It’s a simple comic. Lucy just walks up to Snoopy, pats him on the head, gives him a hug and, as she’s walking away, she says to herself, “Happiness is a warm puppy.” But to determine the best quote ever uttered by Snoopy himself is a much dif
5 MAD Magazine Parodies from the 1990s That Aged Perfectly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From 1952 until 2018, MAD Magazine was the greatest source of comedy in print. Every month, the legendary magazine, which spawned several imitators, would skewer politics, current events, and, most of all, pop culture. With artists like Mort Drucker and writers like Dick DeBartolo, the MAD Magazine crew lampooned good movies and bad movies alike in their multi-page comic-book-like parodies where nothing was sacred and everyone was fair game. And while there was always something to love about eac
'Futurama' Creator Officially Confirms the Sci-Fi Series' Surprising 2027 Plans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Released today on Hulu, "Final Ending: The Last Conclusion" is the season finale for Futurama (the show will be coming back next year with three specials) but it plays like a high-concept series finale. Turns out, that's because originally, it was. “At the time we wrote the season finale, we did not know if the show would be going on again. So in our minds, that's a last episode ever, and we wrote it accordingly,” David X. Cohen, the longtime showrunner of Futurama who also co-developed the seri
