December 13, 2018

Join Jarman and Steve for a “deep dive” (huhhuh….get it?) into DC Comics’ Aquaman! Before you see the new film, learn about his humble beginnings before 1942, and how the nerdy, clean cut, smiling blond dude becomes the monster man behemoth we see today.

Keeping with the subject of talking to fish, Steve regales us with some fish facts and trivia. Some weird and wild stuff out there in the oceans…

Your co-hosts go into some serious Dungeons and Dragons talk, before discussing some Nerdy News of the upcoming Dune film, why Netflix really dropped all the Defenders series, and how women are taking Hollywood by storm!

Then we have Radical Recommends, and Trailer Reviews of Avengers: Endgame and Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

Episode 108 - Star Trek: Nemesis Film Review!

December 2, 2018

This week we continue our long-running series of reviewing all the Muppet and Star Trek films with Star Trek: Nemesis! Worst Star Trek film? Or simply misunderstood?

Since the film heavily features the planets Romulus and Remus, Steve delves into the “real life” Romulus and Remus from myth and legend.

We also have Nerdy News of retiring and debuts of pop culture characters and unethical genetic editing.

Also, some Technobabble Imrpov, Radical Recommends and Trailer Reviews of Mary Poppins Returns, The Lion King, and Anna and the Apocalypse.

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!
