Episode 102 - Get to the Choppa!

September 20, 2018

In “honor” of the new film “The Predator” releasing in theaters, we bring you our in depth review of the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, Predator! We’ll take you through every gunshot, explosion and cheesy one liner. We’ll also go over the timeline of the entire Predator film franchise. It’s a doozy.

For Nerdy News we cover the progress lab grown meat has made in the last couple of years, and the future of The Walking Dead franchise.

Then enjoy a short history lesson of a real hunter/predator from American history, Buffalo Bill!

We even made time for Would You Rather, Radical Recommends and Trailer Reviews of the horror comedy Killer Kate and the much anticipated Marvel flick, Captain Marvel!

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

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 98 - SDCC Recap and Muppets From Space!

July 31, 2018

San Diego Comic Con is over and boy did it have a lot of Nerdy News! We'll cover all that and review the many trailers that were released along with it. Including Star Wars casting and info on the Wonder Woman sequel! See the listing of all the trailers we used for the episode HERE

For our main segment we'll be continuing our ongoing segment of reviewing all the Star Trek and Muppet films, with...  Muppets from Space! 

In light of Muppets from Space largely being considered a failure, Steve will discuss other random failures made by big companies throughout the years.

Then join us for some slightly different Radical Recommends to round out the episode.
