Frank Herbert's famously “unfilmable” epic 1965 sci-fi novel has vexed many a mighty talent over the years, including, at one stage, Ridley Scott (who almost delivered his crack at it but went for Blade Runner instead). Then, finally, came David Lynch's notoriously visionary-but-problematic version in 1984. Now, refusing to let scorched earth lie, Denis Villenueve (Arrival, Blade Runner 2049) delivers his take, packed with all the visual elegance -- and sleepy excitement -- of those two films. Fans of the novel are rallying ‘round, so why did this grandiose space opera have your good Doctors running for the nearest wormhole...?

Bridgerton infuses pre-Victorian romance with an IV of diversity training and a snuff box's worth of whatever the hell Baz Luhrmann's on. Too steamy? There's always WandaVision, which puts its heroine in a literally sex-less world of homogeneity governed by the laws of classic television comedies. This double diagnosis has the Doctors break down two of the most watched programs of the streaming season. Grab your headphones and clutch those pearls -- it's going to be a bumpy ride...

George Clooney stars in and directs this unique take on the "last man on earth" genre, wherein a lone Artic research scientist tries to warn a returning spacecraft that there's no home to return to. If that all sounds too grim, don't worry -- there's plenty of dubious action to make anyone question the science. Bundle up...

Look, up there on your screen! It's Gal Gadot! It's Chris Pine! It's Kristin Wiig! It's...excruciating! The long-awaited (?) follow-up has burned up the streamwaves, giving DC's #1 heroine a break from all the lightweight crime of an '80s coloring book. Mallrats and fanny packs, beware! You don't need a golden lasso to rope this one in.

Do androids dream of lethargic sequels? In his latest LA story, Ryan Gosling stars as a replicant desperately searching for his origins. Denis Villeneuve delivers every sci-fi geek’s wet dream of a follow-up to Ridley Scott’s iconic portrait of a not-too-distant dystopia – and upholds the tradition of atmosphere and ambiguity.
