When I began watching Best Medicine on Fox, I got an immediate feeling of nostalgia. It reminded me, and still does, of the 1990s series Northern Exposure. That is not a bad thing; the earlier show was...

Let me put it simply. The new film Project Hail Mary is not only really good, but the best film I have seen in several years. The ideas are not particularly new. There is some 2001: A...
