On the 4th of July Netflix will launch Tsutomu Nihei’s Knights of Sidonia. It’s very good to see Netflix getting deeper into anime. The on demand stream gets the series “firstly and exclusively” in Japanese audio with English subs and with local language dubbing. This is a sci-fi set after mankind has fled Earth to […]

Worth a shout: Basic Adventuring 101
I watched the pilot episode of Basic Adventuring 101 and then wanted to watch another. It was then that I discovered the series was pending the outcome of a Kickstarter. It doesn’t usually happen that way around any more but I think it speaks well of the show that they were able to earn attention […]

SyFy step up the sci-fi with Dominion
Rather than starting at the beginning so every one can catch up – SyFy have done the mature geek thing of launching a series that follows on from where the movie left off. The catch? I don’t think I ever got around to watching Paul Bettany in Scott Stewart’s Legion film even though it ticks […]

The whole thing is shot in 4K, on almost no budget and over 2 days. How long did that take in total? Months thanks to the special effects. It’s set in the Potterverse in which the Officers of OMEn have to deal with a mysterious and rather unhelpful person as an evil force turns up […]
The Geek Handbook video project scrambles for cash on Indiegogo
[Back this Campaign] With just over $300 in the bank and 15 days left to raise the full $2,000 it looks like this campaign to do a video series version of The Geek Handbook is having to work hard for every dime. I’ve seen campaigns raise $2,000 in hours – so everything is possible. I […]
