What is Don't Look Up?
Posted By:

Back in early December we commented on the interesting critic response to Don't Look Up and wondered if it might a politicised reaction to a suspicious, but not widely commented on behind the scenes element, pay.

Since then it has made to Netflix, we've been able to watch it, it has broken Netflix records and become their all time second most watched Original, just behind Red Notice, and today it received four BAFTA nominations.

Disney's Temperature
Posted By:

Disney have given the go ahead for a TV series adaptation of young adult sci-fi LGBT novel, The Temperature of Me and You.

The novel only released on January 25. Quite a fast turn around as adaptations go but the book was published through Disney and likely they were just waiting on decent book reviews before pulling the trigger on this series.

Nebulous Fleet Command
Posted By:

An upcoming indie space real time strategy game you might not be aware of is Nebulous: Fleet Command which is being developed by a Navy officer.

Graphically it looks dated compared to other 3D space titles but it is still in development and beneath the surface is an impressive depth of gameplay that could have great appeal to fans of shows like The Expanse.
