[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.]. Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

The kaiju sub-genre is one of the best within the broad realm of science fiction, with such films being defined by the fact that they contain giant monsters, whether they be brought to life using suits, stop-motion animation, or more modern technology. These giant monsters can be malicious, forces of nature, or strangely heroic, and across various films, can destroy cities, battle humans, or fight other giant monsters.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

When one thinks of science fiction, one often associates the genre with futuristic settings and space operas like Star Wars, Star Trek, and Blade Runner, but this isn't always the case. Science fiction is a remarkably versatile genre, and its movies can make use of a variety of different settings, focusing on modern times or even the past with a technological or extra-terrestrial twist.

With Run The Series, The A.V. Club examines film franchises, studying how they change and evolve with each new installment. Alien: Romulus marks a turning point in the Alien series. It’s not where the series begins to tumble irrevocably downhill, because it’s already settled into a rollercoaster with plenty of peaks, hairpin turns, and, thus far, just one steep drop. (We’ll get to that later.) It’s not where it becomes either a multi-filmmaker or single-filmmaker franchise, because it’s been both of those already, in some cases multiple times. It’s not even a pivot point in the series’ fictional timeline, because it’s positioned comfortably, perhaps over-safely, in the zone somewhere between Ellen Ripley going into cryo-sleep at the end of Alien and waking up at the beginning of Aliens. But speaking of Ripley: Romulus is the point where, technically speaking, there are more Alien movies without Ellen Ripley than with her. It marks Alien’s surrender into true franchise-dom.

Alien may have surrendered to franchising, but its mutating DNA will never be tamed

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.
