Let's Make It a Block Buster Night serves as a movie guide for a new generation of film fans who have grown up without the access to video stores and shelves full of movies. Millennial and Gen-Z movie fans have always been subjected to algorithms to find new movies and discover films, and this book is a guide to getting outside of the algorithm.Author Jeff Rauseo wants readers to find their new favorite movie, help them choose something fresh and new, and make connections back to popular movies in a way that will resonate with them. Let's Make It a Block Buster Night is a way for readers to get to know film history, the streaming wars, and film criticism to be better equipped in finding new movies that studios or streamers aren’t interested in showing. This book is a way back to a more human way of consuming media and art.

Allie and Sam are two moms. Mommy and Other Mommy. One carried the couple's twin boys, who are genetically related to the other-a cute little story of teamwork with a happy ending. But it was so much more than that. When they decided to grow their family, they naively went into things thinking they'd have a baby nine months later. Easy. Their conception journey began with nothing but hope. Planning pregnancy announcements. Picking names. (Picking sperm!) Soon, that turned into the harsh realization that it would take several years, thousands of dollars, and so much heartbreak to even get close to a baby. As a same-sex couple, Allie and Sam faced barriers from day one. If it wasn't constant heteronormativity, it was a couple of thousand dollars in the trash, next to another negative pregnancy test-just to rub it in a little more. It was jealousy of friends who were on baby one, then baby two, before they could even get in for another try at the fertility clinic. Who had sperm readily available at home. Who had babies for free. It took three years, three IUIs, one home insemination, one round of IVF, two losses, four embryo transfers, $50,000, and ultimately, a whole lot of teamwork. And now they get to watch their twins grow and learn, as Mommy and Other Mommy. With two moms, their family looks a little different to a lot of people. That's why it's important to share Sam and Allie's journey: to help normalize all types of families, and to hopefully make people think twice before they ask Who's the mom?

She wakes up to discover that she has been living in a simulation of Earth as it was in the early 21st century. Earth was destroyed centuries ago, and what's left of humanity lives in a nearby space station. Over 700,000 people, known as "Iron Dreamers" live within the simulation, unaware of the true reality. The simulation exists because the future has many problems, and what's left of humanity does not have the computing power or innovation to solve them all. People kept in suspension consume less food, space and oxygen. Lexi is recruited to capture an unknown figure who is sabotaging the simulation and putting all of humanity at risk.
