Episode 106 - 25 Best Sci-Fi Films of All Time?

November 14, 2018

Paste Magazine recently released their giant list of the 100 Best Sci-Fi Films of All Time, so we thought we would take a crack at their top 25. Were they way off-base? Did they get it just right? We know that YOU know that OUR opinions matter more, so listen in as we take it apart!

Beforehand, Steve regales us with first-hand stories of the California wildfires. Also, Nerdy News of the future of Game of Thrones and a new Star Wars TV series! And before our feature, can you guess if it’s a classic Sci-Fi film title or an indie band? Plus, Would You Rather, Radical Recommends, and Trailer Reviews of Detective Pikachu and Toy Story 4!

Intro music provided with permission by the awesome Jimmy Hinson of Big Giant Circles. Find him Bandcamp or iTunes!

Episode 104 - European Vacation(s)

October 26, 2018

Jarman just got back from a long trip across northern Europe…so what better time to review the 1985 classic…National Lampoon’s European Vacation?! Ok…maybe not that classic. But it was a fun ride to watch and review.

Steve also regales us with some European trivia, takes a new spin on our old game with Europop Band or Smut Search, we throw in some Radical Recommends, and then Trailer Reviews of The Kid Who Would Be King and Netflix’s Bird Box.

It’s mentioned in the podcast before it begins, but we want to once again apologize for some audio distortion throughout this episode. It wasn’t evident as the episode was recording. We are trying to address the issue so it will not disturb your ears next time!

Episode 80 - Comic Con Trailer Roundup 2017!

August 9, 2017

It's that time of year again! When San Diego Comic Con is flooded with releases of all kinds of trailers and sneak previews of all the geeky/nerdy movies and TV shows on the docket for the upcoming year. We take a look at the highlights and let you know what has us excited...and bored. You can find a list with most everything we cover here.

We also pack in TWO games! We bring back Hypothetical Hubub, (a disturbing version of "would you rather") and Indie Band or Smut Search! If you don't already know that game, you'll have to listen to understand.

For Nerdy News we cover synthetic food made from air, a near miss from a flying planetary body, Brazil's economy compared to World of Warcraft, and terrifying AI made by Facebook!
