In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I’ve compiled a list of the speculative fiction actresses for whom I’m most grateful, which means I’m pulling from some of my favorite speculative fiction movies, tv shows, and video games for the most talented actresses. So I guess you could say this is also a list of my favorite things, making […]

In early October of this year, the Internet was alive and buzzing over the latest, greatest Thing. I was, as per usual in this situation, ambivalent. What was the cause of so much excitement for seemingly everyone but me? The newest trailer for the forthcoming Star Wars installment, The Last Jedi. I was happy that […]

The Long Earth (2012) Written by: Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter Genre: Science Fiction Pages: 341 (Hardcover) Series: The Long Earth Book 1 Publisher: Harper Why I Chose It: It’s been on my list for awhile, actually. Mostly because I’m a sucker for a good cover and I really liked the look of this one, […]

Welcome back to Sound Off!, a semi-regular column where members of Speculative Chic gather together to chat about the latest BIG THING in entertainment. This time, break the fourth wall and discuss Deadpool 2, which premiered in the United States on Friday, May 18, 2018. Sound Off! is meant to be a reaction, but not necessarily a […]

July 9, 2018 They might not be raindrops on roses or whiskers on kittens, but that doesn’t mean that we love them any less. Welcome back to My Favorite Things, the weekly column where we grab someone in speculative circles to gab about the greatest in geek. This week, we sit down with Matt Betts, […]

June 30, 2017 One of the interesting things about Orphan Black is how, depending on the episode you catch, it can sometimes feel like this weird suburban murder-mystery comedy. That’s what you get when there’s an Alison Hendrix episode, and througout the series, it’s been cited as a criticism, however slight. At worst, Alison’s episodes […]

December 31, 2018 Welcome to the very end of 2018! For the past few years, we have challenged our contributors to come up with a goal for the coming year. Those goals have varied from “read a certain book” to “consume ALL of the Game of Thrones content currently available.” You’d be surprised and perhaps […]

Metropolis For my 2018 Resolution Project, I decided to take a page out of Lane’s book and do my own Silver Screen Resolution (hence the Take Two part of the title). There are a lot of movies out there I haven’t seen but feel like I should have, or movies that I’ve simply wanted to […]

My Resolution project for 2019, are you ready for it? Are you? STAR WARS! OK, the title kind of gave it away. Still. I’m so excited! Why I chose it. I love Star Wars, and I thought it would be fun to re-watch the movies in order of release date, with perhaps a bit more […]

After last year’s successful resolution (pretty much a first for me!), I decided to dip my toes into a spec-fic area I barely even know exists — podcasts. The rules for 2018: I will listen to twelve spec-fic oriented podcasts, one per month. For each podcast, I will listen to a minimum of five episodes […]
