Don't Miss This Claustrophobic Sci-Fi Nightmare Streaming Free on Tubi

There's something about sci-fi horror that hits all the buttons for me.

Enter the Claustrophobic Chaos of a Derelict Spaceship in This Sci-Fi Flick, Streaming Free on Tubi

Not all horror movies are made equal, and sci-fi horror is easily my favorite sub-genre, with he vastness of space pressing in from every side, creatures engineered by science gone wrong, and derelict spaceships housing unspeakable horrors. The Alien franchise might be the most well-known movies of the genre, but it isn't the only one worth watching. One of my favorites is Pandorum. Released in 2009, it's a claustrophobic trip into space where a mechanic wakes up on a colony ship to see that th

‘Alien: Earth’ Finally Gave Us the Episode We Were Waiting For

When I saw the title for the fifth episode of Alien: Earth, it seemed too good to be true. Could the episode actually live up to the implications of its title? Were we about to get a brand-new, full-fledged Alien movie in the comfort of our home? Thankfully, the answer to both those questions is “Yes.” The fifth episode of Alien: Earth saw creator Noah Hawley deliver his own version of an Alien movie in the confines of his show, and it was familiar, fascinating, and fraught with tension.

Fuel supply is a bottleneck for Starship—here’s how SpaceX will get around it
