Episode 113 - Top 50 Horror Films of All Time?

February 7, 2019

This week we take Film Reject’s list of the top 50 horror films of all time and do a rundown of each film, seeing if we agree with their choices along the way. For the most part, we think they did pretty well! Do you agree with our choices? Plus it’s just a great recap of all the great horror films we’ve seen over the years.

For Nerdy News we have the revelation that the musical Rent sucks, the death of Mr. Fudderman, and some exciting Marvel Cinematic Universe news.

Then ride along with us for some Would You Rather, Radical Recommends, and Trailer Reviews of the surreal horror flick, Braid and the enigmatic upcoming film, The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot. And… Doc Brown gets the Dungeons and Dragons character creation treatment he always deserved!

Episode 101 - Star Trek Insurrection Film Review!

September 12, 2018

We continue our long running series of reviewing every film in the Muppets and Star Trek film franchises with an in depth review of Star Trek: Insurrection! Generally considered a “meh” film, see if our opinions differ from that!

Steve will give us a lesson about real life insurrections throughout history. We also have Nerdy News of UFOs possibly monitoring Donald Trump and child warfare that may have prepared early humans for everyday life.

Then we’ll have the return of Technobabble Improv! Where Steve is given a randomized bit of dialog full of Treknobabble, and he has to improv a short scene to go with it.

Following that we have some Radical Recommends, a game of Would You Rather, and then Trailer Reviews of the Halloween reboot (ish) and the UFO flick, Beyond the Sky.

Episode 84 - 666 Spooky Spectacular!!!

October 29, 2017

It's time for Halloween! Every year we have a Halloween themed episode, so this year we decided to go with a very random theme...666! We took the 6th sequel in the top three slasher movie franchises and put them under our nerdy microscope for review! Nightmare on Elm Street 6: Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers, and Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives! These movies took us on quite a campy, hokey, and gory ride. Join us for the craziness!

For Nerdy News, Steve tells us of the historic find of the oldest ever homo sapien fossils and scorpions with their crazy venom! And Jarman talks about the upcoming Fear the Walking Dead/The Walking Dead character crossover coming soon!

Before jumping into the main segment we have have a Halloween history session with Steve, and afterwards we stump you all with some candy trivia.

For Trailer Reviews we cover the second Star Wars 8: The Last Jedi trailer along with millennial social media horror-thriller-comedy Tragedy Girls.

Stick around all the way to the end for Radical Recommends and an expanded thank you session to YOU, the listeners!

Episode 48 - Halloween Villains Special

October 29, 2015

In this special early release of A Play On Nerds we discuss all of our favorite villains of movies, TV, comics and video games, in honor of Halloween weekend! 

Before the feature we discuss some Nerdy News with a tale of a possible real life zombie attack on an airliner and also some Star Wars: The Force Awakens fan theories.

Steve tests Jarman's knowledge of villains with Sidekick Showdown where he names the villain's sidekick/minion and we have to guess what villain they roll with.

Jarman also plays Villainous Voices, where he plays the sound clip of the villain and you have to guess what villain made those villainous utterances. There are some real softballs in there...

At the end, we have some great trailers to review, with the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer, and the upcoming Seth Rogan/Joseph Gordon-Levitt/Anthony Mackie vehicle, The Night Before.
