Join us this wee as week on the podcast as we see the triumphant return or our re-occurring segment, Copy Cat Cinema! This time with EdTV VS The Truman Show! It's where we take 2 movies made around the same time, with all-too-similar plots. Some of our previous entries have been Gremlins VS Critters, or Armaggeddon VS Deep Impact, Volcano VS Dante's Peak... you get the idea. Then we both pick a movie and defend it as the better of the two films, whether we believe it or not!
We start off the show with some Nerdy News; Japan developing Star Trek-like holodeck technology, and the continued evolution of polar bears!
We then have a brief chat about the history of reality TV, and some of the producer secrets from behind the scenes.
Then after the feature segment, Steve breaks out the funny with his Random Reality TV Show Title Generator. The results are ridiculous in their realistic-ness!
For Trailer Reviews, we cover Nerdist Presents The Hive, and Vacation (2015)
