THE LONG WALK--It's time for our first Richard Bachman book! Let's take a look at the truth behind the name, a Vietnam War allegory, the role masculinity plays in controlling young men, and what makes this one of the bleakest stories we've covered.

Starship Troopers (1997) is THE blueprint for #Helldivers.

Paul Verhoeven’s adaptation of Heinlein’s classic novel divided critics at the time, but its antifascist subtext sure hits different in 2025.

Unlike the movie, Robert A. Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" is NOT a satire... but is it worth reading today?

Back home from #Worldcon2025 & looking through all the photos is surreal—did we really get to do all that?!

Our first live show was a resounding success in front of a huge crowd of Martha Wells / Murderbot fans who really turned out! They were incredibly generous & kind.

In Gore Verbinski’s "The Ring" (2002) analog film takes the spotlight for a medium in transition. The result is a turning point in modern horror as the artform moves into a digital age. But how does it stack up to the original?

Koji Suzuki’s RING sparked a resurgence of horror in Japan & launched a franchise that would shock the world, but let's talk about what disturbing details from his original book that didn't (& probably NEVER SHOULD) make it into the adaptation.

As the Apple TV adaptation of #Murderbot rounds out its season the comedic emphasis is clear, but how does it compare to @marthawells.com's books?

Murderbot's disdain for humanity is on full display from the beginning in the TV show, but who can blame it? Humans are the Worst! 🤷‍♂️

Our coverage of @marthawells.com's story continues, including a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT for #WorldCon2025 at 4:45! 👀

In "The House of Usher" (1960) Director Roger Corman began a series of Edgar Allen Poe films that set a high bar for gothic horror adaptations. Vincent Price stars as Roderick Usher in a screenplay penned by Richard Matheson!
