Episode 81 - Star Trek V: The Final Frontier - Film Review!

August 29, 2017

For our next installment of our ongoing series of reviewing all the films in the Muppets and Star Trek franchises, we now review Star Trek V: The Final Frontier! (In all its glory...) From the cheesy dialog and strange plot choices, to the fan dances and terrible green screens, we cover it all.

For Nerdy News we cover a girl with a strange disorder in Scotland that causes her to experience strange tastes when she hears certain words and sounds, and then Steve discusses the upcoming Jabba the Hutt movie and science that proves that adding water to your whiskey makes it taste better!

For Trailer Reviews we cover the mysterious Mother! and the artistic Wonderstruck.

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!

Episode 79 - Follow That Bird - Film Review!

July 25, 2017

We continue our ongoing series of reviewing every Muppet and Star Trek film with Follow That Bird! The emotional 1985 Sesame Street classic. We talk through all the lovely songs and nostalgia that this film unearths in us all.

Before we jump into the film we talk some Nerdy News with possibilities of humans going extinct, all too soon, and "teleporting" photons to outer space!

After the feature we have Trailer Reviews of Geostorm and Annabelle 2: Creation; which sparks a heated debate between our two hosts on the merits of films about ghosts. You won't want to miss it!

Episode 77 - Top Gun VS Iron Eagle!

June 19, 2017

Copy Cat Cinema makes its triumphant return with Top Gun VS Iron Eagle! Both from 1986. (Copy Cat Cinema is where we take two films made around the exact same time that were basically the same movie. We both pick a movie to defend as the best, debate their merits and atrocities, and laugh at the results!)

We start with some Nerdy News of head transplants for mice, 90s movie reboots no one asked for, and the unfortunate passing of OG Batman, Mr. Adam West.

We throw some Radical Recommends your way of video games and TV, then talk some Trailer Reviews of Black Panther and the reboot of Flatliners.
