'Pacific Heights' Offered a Movie Villain for the Ages
John Schlesinger’s “Pacific Heights” (1990) opens with sex and violence, showing us that anyone who meets Carter Hayes, the film’s mesmerizing villain, will either be punished, wind up one of his victims or both. Only wreckage and heartbreak come from this man, a sociopath with a slick façade and a self-destructive streak that is somewhere between gambling and sadism. Hayes is played by Michael Keaton, showcasing his first turn as a villain, in a remarkable performance that elevates Schlesinger’s expertly crafted but pulpy thriller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMFbQCuFS58 Patty and Drake, played by Melanie Griffith and Matthew Modine, buy a massive Victorian home
How 'Space Cowboys' Avoided the 'Grumpy Old Men' Curse
Clint Eastwood’s “Space Cowboys” (2000) was a comeback for the legendary filmmaker and a project that initially seemed like a guilty pleasure. It emerged as a substantial and hugely enjoyable work. When it was first announced that Eastwood was playing an astronaut, alongside Tommy Lee Jones, James Garner and Donald Sutherland, the response was, understandably, cynical. It sounded like Eastwood was making a broad comedy about the elderly, selling out in the way Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau had with their silly “Grumpy Old Men” (1993-1995) vehicles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjIMiGb_tmM “Space Cowboys” isn’t a comedy but it’s not “Firefox” (1982) either. It
Media Attack Coldplay for Heartfelt Charlie Kirk Tribute
There's a phrase this reporter can't stop using on X and elsewhere. You can't hate the media enough. It's an odd thing for a journalist to say, but it's not said in haste. Just consider the bloated list of media malpractice John Nolte tracks as Exhibit A. Exhibit B? The Russian collusion hoax. C? The Hunter Biden laptop. D? President Joe Biden is sharp as a tack. You get the idea. Now, several media outlets are framing a heartfelt display by British rockers Coldplay into a sad, twisted attack. The mega-group shared some warm wishes to people in need from
X Shames Stephen King into Apologizing for Charlie Kirk Slam
Stephen King knows a thing or two about monsters. The prolific author has given us the stuff of nightmares, from the clownish creature in 'It' to superfan Annie Wilkes. And, sometimes, his inner monster surfaces on social media. King shared a ghoulish, fact-free assault on the late Charlie Kirk on Thursday. The author claimed Kirk, an avowed Christian, approved of the stoning of gay people. It's a lie. And X users let him have it. They pounded King over and again, with some suggesting the Kirk estate could and should sue him for slander. Then, something unexpected happened. King apologized.
Rolling Stone Suddenly Cares About Free Speech
Rolling Stone has come a long way, baby, and not in a good way. The '60s era rock bible is now a hard-Left institution that refuses to defend free expression. Need proof? The magazine attacked comedian Dave Chappelle for telling the 'wrong' jokes about the trans community. Artists like John Ondrasik (Five for Fighting) faced censorship, and Team Rolling Stone refused to have his back. I have just received notification that @YouTube has taken down the Blood on My Hands - White House Docu-Music video. pic.twitter.com/SIFy13ftE4 — John Ondrasik (@johnondrasik) January 7, 2022 We saw a variation of this following
Could FireAid Crush Future Celebrity Benefit Concerts?
“Whenever Los Angeles gets into trouble, the musicians are right there, and I’m proud to be one of them,” Graham Nash 'It's one of the most important gigs we've ever played,' Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong January's FireAid benefit concert came and went. A staggering array of stars assembled to raise money for, what the event's organizers dubbed, 'short-term and long-term recovery efforts' following the devastating California fires, according to Reuters. Oh, really. FireAid raised $100 million to go directly to Los Angeles wildfire victims. As you can see the $100 million went directly to anyone but Los
Wait... Jon Stewart Calls Out Biden's Health NOW?
'I get my news from late-night TV.' It's the biggest self-own possible for an obvious reason. Most late-night comedians are on the far-Left, and they routinely distort the truth. They downplay riots, push vaccine nonsense and promote massive hoaxes sans apology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSkFyNVtNh8&t=15s It explains why Jon Stewart refused to mock President Joe Biden for the leader's obvious cognitive decline. Doing so would have impacted the 2024 presidential campaign, helping Donald Trump in the process. And that just couldn't be done. So Stewart, ever the good soldier, didn't joke about Biden's mental state. He had endless material to work with, but
Hollywood's Anti-Israel Blacklist Just Keeps Growing
Hollywood is getting the knack for this blacklist thing. The industry has operated an unofficial ban on conservative artists for years. Denizens don't speak openly about it, and they occasionally let some right-leaning actors work without punishment. Think Jon Voight, Kelsey Grammer and Tim Allen. For many others, especially James Woods, Kevin Sorbo and Scott Baio, being on the Right means good luck finding work in La La Land. Conservatives once met in secret, under the Friends of Abe banner, to share how they were persecuted for voting the 'wrong' way. Zachary Levi of SHAZAM fame gets detailed about why
Why Is Everyone Afraid of 'Elephant in the Room?'
It's the movie we need now ... more than ever. Or do we? 'The Elephant in the Room' asks a very 21st-century question. Can a couple find love if they don't vote the same way? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLMi_TySG8A The rom-com stars Alyssa Limperis and Sean Kleier as potential lovers who clash over their political beliefs. She's a rock-ribbed progressive, and he voted for Donald Trump. Twice. Can this courtship be saved? It appears to be the first rom-com of its kind. The conflict is provocative enough to grab people's attention, right? Right? Tell that to film critics. At Rotten Tomatoes, there's only one
Graham Linehan: My Arrest 'Blew Up in Their Faces'
The corrupt, biased press went silent after Tara Reade accused Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her in 1993. Nothing to see here. Move along. It lasted for weeks. The only mainstream journalist to seek Reade out for an interview at the time? Megyn Kelly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSywIliNBEA The former Fox News superstar wasn't the media force she is today, though. Kelly had been unfairly jettisoned by NBC after some innocent comments about blackface were weaponized against her. Kelly still saw the obvious news value in speaking with Reade, and she used her then-modest platform to conduct the interview. Today, Kelly is one
Jimmy Kimmel, Press Beclown Themselves Over 'Democracy' Lie
Remember Tuffy Gessling? He was the rodeo clown who dared to mock President Barack Obama and caught hell as a result. He faced death threats and suffered a lifetime ban from the Missouri State Fair. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_YgHoiF1-o Guess who didn't speak up in his defense (besides President Obama)? Jimmy Kimmel. Flash forward to 2025 and Sunday's Creative Arts Emmy Awards presentation. Kimmel walked the red carpet at the event, and the press dutifully played into the false meme that President Donald Trump is censoring comedians. Legacy Media outlets pounced and seized on that theme following CBS's delayed cancellation of 'The Late
'Normie' Horror Franchise 'Conjuring: Last Rites' Kills at Box Office
It's not Halloween season yet, but a horror film franchise just shocked Hollywood. 'The Conjuring: Last Rites' earned a stunning $83 million in its opening weekend domestically, adding another $100+ million in overseas markets. To quote the great philosopher Ted 'Theodore' Logan, 'Whoa...' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMgfsdYoEEo&t=5s The fourth and allegedly final film in the saga stars Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as the Warrens, professional demon hunters who learn their adult daughter may have just joined the family business. Yikes. The team behind the series has suggested this would be the last big-screen close-up for the Warrens. The movie's waning moments underline
Can 'The Breakfast Club' Turn Down Our Political Temperature?
Can an 1980s movie help us have healthier conversations with friends and loved ones across lines of difference? That's the question raised by 'The Breakfast Club,' which is coming back to theaters September 7 and 10 as part of its 40th anniversary celebration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr1BEFJRgtE For decades, social psychologists have offered a clear solution to the problem of prejudice: intergroup contact theory. The idea is that, if I'm prejudiced against X group of people (whether because of their skin color, their religion, their politics or something else), then the antidote to prejudice is to put myself in a room with a
Colbert Shocked at Late-Night Monster He Created
Dr. Frankenstein is mad about the creature he brought to life. Stephen Colbert admonished his lapdog live audience this week following a story tied to, who else, President Donald Trump. Colbert noted how the Left-wing fever swamp, although he didn't use those words, went craz(ier) in recent days over a rumor that President Trump had died. 'When I came back into the office, I was shocked to learn that, this weekend, the biggest story was frenzied social media rumors speculating whether Donald Trump had died. For the record, Donald Trump is very much alive.' The 'Late Show' audience erupted in
John Cleese Shames England for Free Speech Crackdown
John Cleese came down with a bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, and it appears to be getting worse. The comedy legend flexes his X account to mock all things Trump all the time. He even shared a post pining for a 'big, beautiful obituary,' essentially rooting for President Donald Trump's death. Gross. That doesn't mean he's abandoned his free speech bona fides. Hardly. In fact, Cleese quickly rallied behind fellow comic Graham Linehan while too many of his celebrity peers took a knee. Linehan, famous for classic British comedies like 'Father Ted,' was arrested by five armed British police
Bob Dylan, Gene Simmons Power 'Reagan' Soundtrack
'A Complete Unknown' introduced a new generation to '60s rock pioneer Bob Dylan. Now, the icon is part of a movie soundtrack dedicated to the most consequential politician of the '80s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ciSughabN4 Curb Records and Los Angeles-based production company, MJM Entertainment, released 'Reagan: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack' last week. A new Dylan track, 'Don't Fence Me In,' is part of the collection, along with songs by Gene Simmons, B.J. Thomas, actor/singer Robert Davi and Scott Stapp of Creed fame. The KISS frontman covered 'Stormy Weather” for the film, while country superstar Clint Black served up his take on 'Take Me
'The Conjuring: Last Rites' Saves Best for Last
It's surreal that one of Hollywood's best marital portraits comes courtesy of a horror franchise. 'The Conjuring: Last Rites,' the fourth film in the saga (not including 'Annabelle' and 'The Nun' spinoffs) reunites us with Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga). The paranormal sleuths ain't afraid of no ghosts, but through it all, they remain a loving, healthy couple. Awww! This time, we get to know their adult daughter, an addition that not only expands the canvas but offers another Warren of consequence. Oh, and there's some first-rate scares along with the kind of plot holes genre fans
'The Paper' Is 'The Office' Lite. Very, Very Lite
They had it coming. The minds behind 'The Paper' knew that cloning 'The Office' would be darn-near impossible. Even more obvious? Audiences would constantly compare any new version to the NBC classic. Inevitable. Doing so without a generational talent like Steve Carell at the helm? Inconceivable! Yet 'The Paper,' debuting Sept. 4 on Peacock, occasionally feels even flatter than our modest expectations. The 10-episode series lacks a breakout cast member or a reason for existing beyond the IP extension. To be fair, even 'The Office' wasn't fully 'The Office' from the jump, but Carell's brilliance and early episodes like 'Diversity
'The Long Walk' Is Stephen King at His Dystopian Best
“Clerks II’s” Randall broke down the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy as “a bunch of people walking” for three long films. It’s crude, but he has a point. That’s essentially what you get with “The Long Walk,” the belated Stephen King adaptation that doubles as the year’s heaviest film sit. You don’t enter a King yarn expecting fluff, but even by the horror maestro’s standards, this takes an emotional toll. That isn’t meant to chase viewers away. “The Long Walk” is a profound experience, thanks to a strong cast and a screenplay that honors King’s voice and imagination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAtUHeMQ1F8 Young
Hollywood Must Speak Out Against England's Free Speech Assault
The Hollywood press downplays stories that don't fit 'the narrative.' Example? Stephen Colbert gets canned for costing CBS a reported $40 million a year. Media outlets decried the decision, suggesting President Donald Trump got the far-Left host fired ... without evidence. Trump is Hitler 2.0, or so The Narrative goes. Michael Rapaport gets canceled for being a pro-Israeli Jewish artist. Mostly crickets from the Legacy Media. The pro-Palestinian Left must be protected, so the story got little coverage. This time, the outrage proved too big to cover up. The UK has arrested a COMEDIAN now for @X posts that the
This Monty Python Alum Lets Woke Daughter Censor His Jokes
John Cleese is a one-man army against the woke scolds crushing comedy. The 'Monty Python' alum rages at attempts to censor classic TV shows and films, as well as limits on what topics can be broached and comics who self-censor their material. And they do it anyway. I think I recently realized I was a hypocrite for complaining about censorship but was also self-censoring. I posted this clip from my podcast making fun of Tim walz going to China (over?) 30 times (feel free to drop a link to correcting me if I’m wrong) and got crushed for even… pic.twitter.com/ccycR49UuX
Why 1998's 'Sphere' Didn't Deserves So Much Hate
Barry Levinson’s “Sphere” (1998) is one of those big-budget box office disasters that elicits groans whenever I bring it up, but I’ve always been a fan of it. That’s not the same thing as claiming it’s a misunderstood classic, which it isn’t. What happened here is simple: Levinson, working with a colossal budget, a grade-A cast, a powerful writer/producer and on a commercial project that seemingly couldn’t miss, found his efforts undermined by a B-movie screenplay that would be hard to sell with a straight face in the 1950s. The result is less a prestige project like “Contact” (1997) and
Woody Allen: Trump Was Pleasant, Professional and Polite on Set
Woody Allen says he disagrees with President Donald Trump 95 percent of the time on political issues. Maybe 99 percent. Still, the legendary writer/director had nothing but kind things to say about the 47th president during a candid conversation with Bill Maher on the 'Club Random' podcast. Professionally speaking. Allen, who admitted to pulling the lever for Kamala Harris last year, praised the future president on an artistic level. 'I'm one of the few people who can say he directed Trump,' Allen said, referring to a small role the mogul had in his 1998 film 'Celebrity.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fESboQ3mNPs The comedy starred
Tom MacDonald's 'Devil Is a Democrat' Debuts Atop Digital Charts
Tom MacDonald just took the gloves off. The best-selling rapper has been coy in recent years about his political musings. He maintained a steady assault on all things woke, but his tracks begged both sides of the aisle to be treated better by a broken system. Not anymore. Recent numbers like 'Daddy's Home,' co-starring Roseanne Barr, found MacDonald skewering President Joe Biden and celebrating Donald Trump's return to the White House. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb7fAEQaJwE The musician's latest rap goes all the way in mocking the modern Left, and it made a huge splash on the music charts. MacDonald's 'The Devil Is a
'SNL' Cast Exodus - A Who's Who of ... Who??
Chevy Chase needed less than two seasons on 'Saturday Night Live' to become a star. Chase left the show midway through its second season in 1976, quickly finding work in films like 'Foul Play,' 'Caddyshack' and 'Seems Like Old Times.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3akC_INsFc 'SNL' became a movie star machine, jump-starting film careers for the likes of Bill Murray, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Eddie Murphy, Will Ferrell and many more. And then, over time, that machine slowed to a crawl. It's been years since 'SNL' minted a major movie star. Sure, alums like Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader work consistently, but
'Jaws' Stuns with Huge Re-Release Box Office Haul
'Jaws' changed more than director Steven Spielberg's career. The 1975 thriller turned summer into blockbuster season. The now-iconic film showed studios how eager young audiences were to spend their vacations in air-conditioned theaters. That was especially true for films that gave them a roller coaster ride for their price of admission. Think 'Star Wars,' 'Jurassic Park' and, more recently, 'Top Gun: Maverick.' Spielberg's film did just that. Then ... and now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz6rcIZRYLc The film's 50th anniversary re-release will end up in second place at the U.S. box office this weekend, according to initial estimates. That's a stunning figure for a
Is 'The Sasqualogist' the Ultimate Bigfoot Film?
There's a cottage industry of Bigfoot films just waiting for us on Tubi. Low budgets. Furry, oversized creatures. Wacky titles ('Bigfoot or Bust' may take the cake). It's pure genre filmmaking, and no judgment here. 'The Sasqualogist' is radically different. Writer/director Joseph Granda's wise and witty look at an obsessed 'squatcher' may have a similar budget, but its ambitions and artistry make all the difference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSgwbejeGsQ Granda stars as a former professor who spends his days searching for proof of Bigfoot's existence. The opening sequence suggests he's done just that, allowing Granda to establish his character's quirks with sly efficiency.
Did Morgan Wallen Just Shiv Hollywood's Awards Racket?
It's an honor just to be nominated. Or is it? Awards were once the most logical way to honor great artists across pop culture. Grammys. Emmys. Oscars. Tonys. Golden Globes. And, in many ways, that's still the case. Yet we've seen awards bodies grow increasingly political in recent years, suggesting it's not enough to be the best at your particular field. You have to think the 'right' way, too. Or, in the case of the Academy Awards, check the 'right' Identity Politics boxes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg2RO_ytAWQ Just recently, major news sites suggested Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' will finally snag an Emmy for
'Toxic Avenger' Doubles Down on Franchise's Favorite Target
The original “Toxic Avenger” made do with a microscopic budget and stars who weren’t recognizable then … or now. The inevitable remake boasts three top-flight actors and a similar sense of comic glee. Writer/director Macon Blair doesn’t take full advantage of the monumental gains made for indie filmmakers since the roarin’ ‘80s. 'The Toxic Avenger' remains a silly, splattery good time that's both lightweight and a missed opportunity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZn2a9wwzuw&pp=ygUedGhlIHRveGljIGF2ZW5nZXIgdHJhaWxlciAyMDI1&pbjreload=102 It’s not a “Toxic” film if those eeeevil corporations don’t take it on the chin. This time, it’s a mega company called BT Healthstyle that holds sway over society. Enter Winston
FireAid: Latest Example of Woke Celebrity Privilege?
Why do celebrities turn awards show speeches into political rants? Because they can, for starters. They also know there's no journalist within shouting distance to fact-check their claims. Nor will reporters press them on their lecture's details. A similar protection comes via celebrity relief efforts. Stars share their talent and time for various causes, typically with the best of intentions. What if those intentions aren't enough? Enter FireAid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrEKrBs1LVQ The Jan. 30 event drew a who's who of music to help Californians battered by this year's raging wildfires. Think Green Day, Pink, Stephen Stills, the Black Crowes, Lady Gaga, Sting,
Cumberbatch, Colman Make 'The Roses' Riveting
“The Roses” leaves the “War” part out on purpose. Part of the glee associated with Danny DeVito’s coal-black “War of the Roses” was watching two beautiful people attack each other with everything in their arsenal. It wasn’t pretty, but the 1989 film sure was memorable. The quasi, sort-of remake, “The Roses,” can’t help but wallow in the marital mud. It’s more of an urbane affair, featuring two elite stars who know the deepest cuts come from insults, not flying dishes. Casting Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch transforms a modest film into a keeper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETBY06YJ2Q8 Cumberbatch and Colman have a meet
Luis Guzman: Latino Trump Voters Are 'Ignorant'
Luis Guzmán has spent decades in the Hollywood trenches. The veteran actor pings from comedy to serious drama, a versatility that suits his latest role on Netflix's 'Wednesday.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueCc-AYUMRs Guzmán plays family patriarch Gomez Addams on the show, now in its second season. The series focuses on the clan's dark cloud of a daughter, played by Jenna Ortega, but allows for the iconic family to be part of her journey. The star isn't known for his political opinions a la Mark Ruffalo, Sean Penn or Cynthia Nixon. He still weighed in on President Donald Trump during a recent interview on
Can 'Weapons' Break Genre Movie Curse?
The late Dieter Laser delivered a performance for the ages in 'The Human Centipede.' Yes, the 2009 shocker wasn't for everyone and leaned hard into its grotesque elements. But Laser's detached, deliciously evil surgeon made the film an instant classic. And he had no chance of awards season love for a genre movie of its kind. Too dark. Too grisly. Too off-putting. The same fate awaits Jai Courtney, star of the 2025 thriller 'Dangerous Animals.' The film, which earned $6.8 million worldwide earlier this year, cast him as a shark-obsessed serial killer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR2btzjmmuc Courtney proved electric as Tucker, a complicated
Report: Obamas Cancel Cheryl Hines Over Trump Ties
Women have it hard in Hollywood. That's not woke. It's the truth. Starlets are expected to stay forever young, or at least look that way, or see their acting prospects dim. Amy Schumer's 'Last F***able Day' sketch hit home because it had a kernel of truth to it. (Warning: adult language) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPpsI8mWKmg It explains why the producers behind 'Bill & Ted Face the Music' ditched the franchise's original actresses for newer, younger stars. 'Top Gun: Maverick' brought back original star Val Kilmer even though he had lost most of his voice from throat cancer, but not co-star Kelly McGillis.
Disney Ditches Spike Lee's Colin Kaepernick Docuseries
It takes a lot to keep Spike Lee quiet. The Oscar winner's hot takes are legendary, and he weighs in on everything from black cinema to the current White House occupant. Yet he can't spare a syllable about his just-canceled Colin Kaepernick docuseries? Did the cat get his tongue? No. The NDA did. ESPN will ‘no longer proceed’ with Spike Lee’s Colin Kaepernick docuseries: ‘It’s not coming out’ https://t.co/IAIGjeR2q3 pic.twitter.com/XCtI7QePJW — New York Post (@nypost) August 16, 2025 Lee offered an extended 'no comment' on the red carpet over the weekend as news of his Kaepernick series' demise hit the
Not Even Denzel Can Save 'Highest 2 Lowest'
Spike Lee has seen too many movies. How else to explain 'Highest 2 Lowest,' a farcical thriller where nearly every twist feels like it was cribbed from a lesser film. Shouldn't Lee know better? Even worse, he doesn't know what to do with one of our greatest living actors. Yes, Lee and Denzel Washington made magic in the past, but the actor's role here never makes sense. Not in the beginning, middle or end of the film. That's movie magic in reverse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh8yqcozfn8 Washington stars as David King, a music mogul struggling through a professional crisis. Should he sell his
'Went Up the Hill' Looks Death Square in the Eye
Samuel Van Grinsven’s “Went Up the Hill” is a ghost story and psychological drama that meditates on grief. It works best as the latter and hardly at all as the former. In a gorgeous, remote location, full of mountains and vast, empty spaces (the stunning setting is in New Zealand), a funeral is taking place. We meet the deceased’s wife, Jill (Vicky Krieps) and Jack (Dacre Montgomery), the son who was left behind and shows up unexpectedly. After the service, Jack and Jill learn how much they have in common, their lives defined by the one who died. Their relationship
'Elephant in the Room' Is Perfect Rom-Com for Trump Era
Hollywood has spent the last decade attacking Donald Trump from every possible angle. Save one. What if a dyed-in-the-wool liberal met a handsome MAGA man and, gasp, felt butterflies with every glance? 'The Elephant in the Room' dares to address that question, and it's a minefield in more ways than one. Kudos to writer/director Erik Bork for not only navigating what could have been a calamitous premise but bringing balance to the story. Not 'The View's' four Leftists versus one GOP RINO brand of balance, mind you. And, yeah, it's both charming and romantic. Now, will it change those unwilling
Five for Fighting Defies Music Industry's Silence on Hostage Crisis
The Boss won’t do it. Taylor Swift can’t shake it off. Beyonce? Queen Bey has other royal matters to attend to. Musicians have gone virtually silent on the Israeli hostages held in Gaza for more than 680 days. We're more likely to hear pro-Palestinian chants at a music festival that pleads for their return. Even singers who politicize their concerts, like Trump critics Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam, avoid the subject. Not John Ondrasik. I am Honored to collaborate with current hostage Alon Ohel’s mother Idit, brother Ronen, family and friends with this new version of “Superman” to support Alon,
'Alien: Earth' Hasn't Closed the Deal ... Yet
Noah Hawley’s “Alien: Earth” has finally landed. After being announced five years ago, the highly anticipated sci-fi/horror “Alien” (1979) spinoff TV series has arrived on Hulu. At press time, I’ve only seen the first two installments of the 8-episode season. Like any first impression, my views will likely fluctuate after I watch the entire season. Certain aspects that looked great early on may take a dive, or initially unpromising components might develop into highlights. For now, after years of waiting and 120 minutes into the 2025 series I’ve been anticipating the most all year, here’s my first impression of where
