One of the annoying things about the present day is that so many “influencers” and “journalists” are completely clueless, and our “academic experts” know less about history and literature than an 80s high school student. The brouhaha over The Odyssey is a perfect example of this. The usual mid-wit Hollywood shills are praising the oddball cast for its diversity while pretending that there’s something new or unprecedented about it.

Actor Tim Allen has announced that he has forgiven the man responsible for his father’s death, a decision he said was inspired by Erika Kirk’s words forgiving her husband’s killer. The Home Improvement actor shared his thoughts in a social media post on Thursday. “When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband: ‘That man… that young man… I forgive him.’ That moment deeply affected me. I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad.

John C. Wright, acclaimed science fiction author and Nebula Award finalist, returns with Star Quest: Outlaw of the Outer Stars, a bold, thrilling space opera that reinvigorates classic adventure with grand scale, heroic stakes, and intricate world-building.

Warner Bros. just threw kryptonite at James Gunn’s Superman. The studio announced that the latest man of steel flick will land on digital today, a mere 35 days after swooping onto the big screen.

Claim exclusive rewards and limited editions while helping us fund our exciting stretch goals. Back the Kickstarter now!

Fantastic Four: First Steps is scheduled for release this July and marks Marvel Studios’ first film featuring the iconic team in nearly ten years. The movie will not take place within the main Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline. Instead, it is set in an alternate, retro-futuristic version of Earth.
