Dogs Suck at Sniffing Out Lung Cancer @ io9

Fans of literary legend Ursula K. Le Guin have probably already heard about her new story collections, but here’s a reminder—and also a heads up for anyone looking to read more of her work.

The Jyn (Erso) Cocktails Were Flowing at Fantastic Fest's Star Wars Drink Competition @ io9
There are a lot of things I love about Fantastic Fest, but it’s hard to come up with a better one than a cocktail contest themed around Star Wars. For the second year in a row , the Alamo Drafthouse hosted a Star Wars Drink Competition, and I’m still a little buzzed from it.

Stranger Things hit Netflix in mid-July and has since become a pop culture phenomenon, spawning breakout characters , quotable lines, memes galore, and cosplay. Naturally, it was renewed.

Does Anyone Else Remember The Pretender, the Weirdest Show of the Late '90s? @ io9

Here's How Depressingly Close Agent Carter Was to Survival @ io9
If you’re still smarting over the loss of Agent Carter, then news of how it was close to making a return isn’t likely to help you cheer up. But according to Hayley Atwell, for a good period of time, ABC was optimistic about the show existing alongside Atwell’s new role in legal drama Conviction.

Movie Review: The Girl With All the Gifts Has Joined the Horde of All-Time Great Zombie Films @ io9
There aren’t a ton of truly great movies that feature zombies. The list is short but distinguished: the works of George Romero, Lucio Fulci, 28 Days Later, and a few others.

While certain things from the original comic book event that inspired Captain America: Civil War made it into the movie

Movie Review: M. Night Shyamalan's Split Is a Genuinely Good Film With a Truly Shocking Twist @ io9
There are a few reasons why Split is the perfect title for the new M. Night Shyamalan movie. The most obvious one is the fact it’s about a man with multiple split personalities who kidnaps three young girls. The other is that the movie itself is split: 98 percent of the movie is a good Shyamalan film, which is its own pleasant surprise. But the final 2 percent is “Oh my God. OH MY GOD.”

The Eyes on These Solar-Powered Jawa Lawn Ornaments Have an Eerie Glow @ io9
If you had to name one distinguishing characteristic of the junk-trading Jawas in the Star Wars universe, it would probably be their “ootini!” cry.

How does one craft a new anthem for a decade some 30 years past? I have no idea, but Stan Bush has done it. The man behind “The Touch” contributed a new track to a special limited edition Shadow Warrior 2 vinyl EP, and it’s so inspirational ‘80s rock it feels awesome.

Movie Review: The Japanese Ring vs. Grudge Horror Film Is Really Bad @ io9
These days we’re used to big crossover movies: Batman v Superman, The Avengers, Freddy vs. Jason, the list goes on. In Japan, they recently released their own horror version.
