• CinemaSlayers- We review and discuss different movie and tv related topics.
• Oz 9- To offload a bunch of not-spaceworthy ships, Gated Galaxies has loaded up pods of sleeping rich people, crews of ex-cons who couldn’t fly a balsa-wood-and-rubber-band airplane, and shot them into space. The Oz 9 is one of these ships, and its hopeless, hapless, helpless crew careens from one disaster to the next near-miss, to more bad judgement.

Memoriam Development is a collective of creators in the Chicago suburbs gathered together in order to make great original content for stage, screen, and pod. Founded in 2016, Memoriam hit the ground running with its first project, Surial, a podcast parody of the hit podcast Serial. It was shortly followed thereafter by its first theatrical production, Oh My Gods, a play that questioned what the gods would be like if they were just like us.
