Season 2 of Silo was divided into two plot lines: one that followed Juliette surviving in Silo 17, and with the other following the uprising in Silo 18. In the 9th episode, we saw Paul, Knox, Shirley, and Hank trying to figure out a way to thwart Bernard, who was keeping an eye on them via Walker. Paul and Robert had a conversation where the latter was convinced to dethrone Bernard and put Camille in charge of things. Bernard ordered the Sheriff’s Department to turn the cafeteria into a massive holding cell so as to contain the rebels from Mechanical. Lukas Kyle made two major discoveries. Firstly, there were a total of 51 silos, and secondly, these silos were connected via a network of tunnels. That said, when he tried to access the tunnel at the bottom of Silo 18, he was stopped in his tracks by the Algorithm, which threatened him with...

At the end of September, JoBlo Media and Octane Multimedia teamed up to launch a new YouTube channel named JoBlo TV, which hosts multiple feature films to watch for free throughout the week. The genres we’ll be focusing on at JoBlo TV are Action, Horror, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Thrillers – and the free movies we shared this week were packed with an action, along with a bit of drama and even a touch of the supernatural.

The movies were The City of Gold, Terra Nova, and The Rebels. Here’s some information on each of them:

An action adventure movie with a bit of the supernatural dropped in, The City of Gold was directed by Harry Locke IV from a script by Ronald A. Blum. Here’s the synopsis: An anguished media magnate, Jonathan Davenport, accompanies his estranged lover to the Peruvian Amazon in pursuit of a reclusive artist living in rebel occupation.

Ezra Bridger is a Force prodigy, learning the ways of the Force quickly and displaying immense power at a young age. Ezra possesses unique Force talents, including a strong connection to animals and the ability to fight effectively without a lightsaber. Despite his accomplishments, Ezra is not as powerful as Luke Skywalker, who has the legacy of being Anakin Skywalker's son and has less training but greater recognition in the Star Wars galaxy.

Ahsoka reintroduced Jedi Ezra Bridger into the Star Wars galaxy, but it does raise the question of how powerful he is, and whether he’s stronger than Luke Skywalker. The two Jedi have many similarities, including being born around the same day—Empire Day. Empire Day was when the Empire was originally established, which was hours after the initial execution of Order 66 and the slaughter of the Jedi, with Padmé Amidala’s death just after giving...

Watching the first episode of "Ahsoka," I kept wishing George Lucas had been around during filming to provide the same direction he, as "Star Wars" legend has it, gave the cast of "A New Hope": "Faster, more intense." It's advice that Lucas's real-life Padawan, Lucasfilm Animation head honcho and "Ahsoka" showrunner Dave Filoni, could stand to take to heart.

Filoni comes from the world of animation, having gotten his start as a storyboard artist on "King of the Hill" prior to working with Lucas on the animated series "Star Wars: The Clone Wars." Animation, by its very nature, necessitates economic storytelling. It's much more expensive than live-action, so every shot has to maximize its ability to advance the narrative. You can tell Filoni enjoyed the extra leeway afforded by his initial excursion into live-action as a writer, director, and executive producer on "The Mandalorian" and "The Book of Boba Fett.

Hello, dear readers! For the last several years, we here at Daily Dead spend a few weeks celebrating the anniversaries of a batch of films from a particular year, and for 2020, we’ve decided to head back to the year 1980 to commemorate the 40th birthday for all the great horror and sci-fi movies that were released back then.

For those of you who may be looking to get into the spirit, I’ve gone ahead and put together this list of films from 1980 that are currently streaming on a variety of platforms, both free and ones that require a subscription. You’ll definitely see upcoming features and discussions of many of these titles, so hopefully this list will help you catch up on the movies you haven’t seen yet (or maybe haven’t seen in a while).

Be sure to check back starting next Monday for all of our Class of 1980 coverage,...
