December 11, 2017

Join us for an epic review of the final original cast Star Trek film, The Undiscovered Country! From shapeshifting monkey-women to Shakespeare-spouting Klingons, we cover it all.

We have Nerdy News of Amish super-humans and soon-to-be-dead Flat-Earthers, Thanksgiving memories and prison trivia, improvisational acting involving Technobabble, and some great Radical Recommends.

On top of all that, in this huge episode, we also review the movie trailers for Rampage and A Wrinkle in Time!

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!

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!

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!

July 5, 2017

This week on the podcast we continue our ongoing series where we review all the films in the Muppets and Star Trek franchises, with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home! To help us do that we have super-Star Trek fans and co-hosts of the Ten Forward Podcast, Matt Hansen, Paul Wright and Chris Mitchell! They'll help us delve into this fan favorite Star Trek film in detail. 

For the rest of the show we have some Nerdy News, with the discovery of the possible "missing link" of whales, and some crazy shake-ups with the production of the next Star Wars spin-off film with Han Solo.

Trailer Reviews are very short, for reasons you'll hear on the show, with Blade Runner: 2049 and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.
