The Sun is a terrible tabloid that spends time fomenting anger and lies under the guise of proper journalism. So it would make sense that Lue Elizondo uses it as a basis of his ‘D’isclosure. Before we jump back to one of our two favorite Utah ranches, I just want to highlight just how dangerous…

Shadow & Substance is a bi-weekly column that explores the world of film and TV, especially in the genres of sci-fi and horror. Asking the questions and exploring the answers that lie in the middle ground between light and shadow. Why is Doctor Who rejecting horror in favor of whimsy? Doctor Who is an iconic…

No two things are as intertwiningly paradoxical as Christianity and guilt. When I think of God, I think of the belief first—a relationship with the mystical pieces of the universe.
