The early 1980s saw the beginnings of video game movies, but the technology wasn’t quite there yet. Because computer graphics were limited, these films featured live actors alongside very simple, blocky digital worlds. Just as the new TRON: Ares feels different from the original TRON of 1982, audiences are now able to fully appreciate the vision of The Last Starfighter, something that wouldn’t have been possible back then.

Jordan Vogt-Roberts’ second film in the series moved away from the serious tone of the first Godzilla movie, instead taking viewers on a colorful adventure through a jungle full of monsters. However, beneath the exciting monster action is a story deeply connected to the pain and consequences of the Vietnam War.

I really believe so many amazing shows get lost these days! There’s just so much new content coming out, and with tons of different streaming services, it’s easy for great stuff to slip under the radar. That definitely happened with The Man in the High Castle, I think. It was one of the first shows on Prime Video, and the platform was still pretty new back then, so it didn’t get the attention it deserved.
Kayce used to be a Navy SEAL and later followed in his father John Dutton’s footsteps to become Montana’s Livestock Commissioner.

I’m so excited to see The Running Man doing so well! It’s currently number two on Paramount+’s Top 10 list, right behind Scary Movie. Those two have been neck and neck for the top spot lately. I think Scary Movie‘s popularity is because everyone’s hyped about the trailer for the new sixth movie. And it’s awesome that Scary Movie 3 is also in the Top 10, holding down the number 10 position!
