Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews
These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them
Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

If you think you’ve seen #Hamlet, you haven’t seen anything yet. Aneil Karia’s new Hamlet, starring Riz Ahmed, is a new reimagining of Shakespeare’s play. I watched the film at the Toronto International Film Festival 2025.

Was Dead Man’s Wire entertaining? Absolutely. The crowd at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival hollered and applauded.

But the crux of the story was lost in the humour and the ending didn’t land for me.

Sonequa Martin-Green and Doug Jones on the set of "Battle at the Binary Stars", STAR TREK: DISCOVERY (2017)
Sonequa Martin-Green and Doug Jones hanging out on the bridge of the USS Shenzhou during filming of "Battle at the Binary Stars". Looking back at her role as Michael Burnham, Martin-Green reflected on the character's beginning as First Officer of the USS Shenzhou: "...even speaking about it in the cultural context, what it means for the Black community specifically, I know a lot of folks were like, 'Yeah, but you're not the captain'. And I understood that. I understood that point of view. And I thought: 'I know it seems that way, it seems like a slight. But it's not. We're going to earn it. And you're going to be able to watch.'"

The new Cillian Murphy film at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival has an incredible first half. Realistic, relevant, and engaging. But the second half? Not so much.

The first of my 2025 Toronto International Film Festival reviews is up. The Man in My Basement has a chilling concept, but ends up being a by-the-numbers horror film.

I reviewed the Canadian drama Little Lorraine for our podcast, @stereogeekspodcast.bluesky.com. The Nova Scotia-based film debuted at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival.

Fascinating true story, but the film was a bit too long.

Listen to the review.

On this day in 1966, Star Trek first beamed into living rooms across America. None of us could have imagined then the journey it would set us on. And not just the cast and crew, but the millions of fans who would find hope, inspiration, and community in its vision of the future.

Sep 1st 1885 - Doc Brown, trapped in the past, wrote a letter to Marty explaining what had happened when the DeLorean was struck by lightning and where he had hidden the car.

📽️📅 Back to the Future Part III (1990)
2 Screenshots from the move "Back to the Future Part III" (1990): First, a close-up of a handwritten letter on old, crumpled paper. The cursive script reads, "your friend in time, Emmett L. Brown, September 1, 1885." Second, Marty McFly, played by Michael J. Fox, stands in the rain at night with a look of shock and concern on his face as he reads the letter.

Happy birthday to Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, born on August 30, 1797!
Her Gothic novel "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus" is considered one of the earliest examples of science fiction, and its influence on the horror genre over the years has been immeasurable.
