Hosts Neal and Z discuss the best and worst nerdy franchises, movies, games, and books of the nerd world.
Swiss Army Man Okay, we all know Z can pick some fucked up movies but this one is especially... just wow. And this is Z typing so take that for what it's worth. No descriptions, just listen to this one.
Vin Diesel plays an immortal viking. Frodo of the Shire is a priest. Jon Snow's dead girlfriend plays a witch. It's surprisingly decent? What do I know, I just type the descriptions.
Beetlejuice- So Batman plays a horny male version of Bloody Mary in this 80's classic. One hosts loves the movie and the other not so much. If you've ever listened before, you can probably guess which is which.
BLADE Vamps, techno, shotguns, and literal blood baths- Back when Marvel was a little risque.
TOTAL RECALL 150% boobs, Martian conspiracies, rippling Austrian muscle, and puns. Seriously, what else can you want in a film?
SIN CITY Noir grittiness? Check. Witty commentary? Check. Gore? Check. Boobs? Check. Frodo and Bruce Willis? Double Check. Boobs? Fuck it, have another check.
Sleepy Hollow- 1999 Ichabod "The Bod" Crane versus The "Hellish Hessian" in a one night, knock down... drag out... FIGHT FOR THE AGES. Featuring multiple Sith lords.
Are you considering going to Atlanta's DragonCon this year? Or cancelling? We have some advice either way.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory What happens when you eat a bunch of chocolate with a LOT of LSD? This movie apparently. Oh and an epic top hat. And Oopma Loompas.
Season 2, Episode 23 MORTAL KOMBAT Okay, so due to an editing error (thanks Obama) section 2 disappeared. We will make it up to ya'll with a bonus episode soon. But this week, we discuss the 90's karate/video game flick "Mortal Kombat". Surprise Surprise, Neal hated it.
BTTF3 The one in the wild west. GIDDYUP PARTNER WE'RE GOING PARADOXIN'. We'll cut 'em off at the pass I reckon. Seriously, the best of the trilogy right here. Fight me. BEFORE BREAKFAST.
BTTF2 Awwww shit we finally followed up on an episode? It's on Netflix, so shut up already. Part 2 of 3. It's in chronological order if you don't think about it too hard...?
Season 2, Episode 20 BACK TO THE FUTURE PT 1GREAT SCOTT! Join us as we avoid paradox after paradox and possibly become out own grandpas.
Season 2, Episode 19GHOST RIDERCome on. We had to do a Nic Cage movie eventually. I'm surprised it took this long. Enjoy.
Season 2, Episode 18- The MatrixSLOOOOOOOOWWWWWW MOOOOOTTTTTIIIIOOOONNN BDSM gear plus guns. Plus fuckin Robits.And computers. The end of the world is fucking weird man.
HOOK Ready for us to demolish yet another childhood favorite? Except this time it's pirate themed! This film is the ultimate laugh/cry experience. Our review is much less insightful.
The Road Warrior AKA Mad Max 2- The daddy (yea I meant it sexually) of all apocalypse movies. COVID ain't got SHIT on Australia in the after times. Combine BDSM, rusty hot rods, a dog, and a boomerang and you're close. And we skipped Mad Max 1. Get you own podcast if it bothers you.
Whelp, here we go. Can you make a bad movie decent by adding 90's references?
Altered Carbon This episode is STACKed with puns. You won't beSLEEVE it. You'd better be RAVEN about this episode later. Recorded with patented Coronasound (TM) so don't bitch about sound quality. ITS A DAMN PANDEMIC KAREN
Jurassic Park (part 2) More Goldblum gushing and dino facts with guest Princess Leah.
Jurassic Park (Part 1) With guest, Princess Leah. Dino puns and facts galore. And sexy Jeff Goldblum. Part one implies there is a part two next week. Sorry for the cliffhanger.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Can you make a chart topping soundtrack from old songs? Sure! Are we done covering the Marvel movies? Well... no. not yet.
Dracula (2020 Netflix/BBC) VELCOME MORTAL. Our puns might SUCK, but don't be CROSS. This adaptation of Bram Stoker's tale is GRAVEly underrated. You'd be BATTY to miss it.
The Witcher Tossing a coin is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical coin tossing ceremony.
Season 2, Episode 7 THE BOYS How do you make Aquaman worse? Well... go watch The Boys on Amazon and get back to us. Also, Translucent doesn't even mean invisible. Moron.
Season 2, Episode 7 THOR Join us for an ELECTRIFYING review. This is LO-KI, one of our favorite Marvel films. THIS IS NO THORDINARY EPISODE.
Season 2, Episode 6- GROUNDHOG DAY Deja Vu? Never heard of her. This movie is a CLASSIC. If anyone remakes it, I quit.
Season 2, Episode 5 HOLY BAD PUN BATMAN! Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb. Much like this movie. But it's a good place to start with the saga of the bat. POW! SHWACK!
Episode 4, Waterworld Aquaman and Mad Max had a drunken one night stand, and 9 months later this atrocity was born. I can't describe it any better.
STARSHIP TROOPERS With Guest, JONES. Buenos Ares is totally FUCKED WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?
Iron man, 2008 RDJ plays RDJ... a cocky millionaire with his own defense budget and arsenal of one-liners. This is the first MCU film, and subsequently the only original one (shots fired)
Season 2, Episode 1 A giant cat dragon, a sad dying horse, a giant, and a sad kid walk into a bar... Welcome to the 20's. Bet you thought we were gonna do Gatsby? NOPE OLD SPORT
Let's listen... To the last podcast you'll ever hear. Get some, you milk suckers.
Episode 24 The Witcher 3... Everything you need to know before the new series starts... Well, some of what you need to know. And a lot of stuff you don't need to know.

Episode 22- Flash Gordon (1980) ALL CREATURES SHALL MAKE MERRY... UNDER PAIN OF DEATH
'nuff said. We are covering one of the best movies ever made about abs, snake people, princesses and swords. WHAT IS BEST IN LIFE?
Fellowship of the Ring Pt 2 One does not simply walk into part two. Let's talk about hobbits, elves and mythical named swords (which totally serve as a valid basis for government).
The Fluent Nerd takes over Zero Dark Nerdy in our first (hopefully not last) crossover event. If you like what you hear, find Zero Dark Nerdy on all podcast platforms and social media!
Episode 18- FIRE IN THE SHIRE Like the ring of power, we'll have you wrapped around our finger. And we might destroy your life. Sorry, these puns suck. We won't make a Hobbit out of it.

Episode 11 STARDUST: Steampunk, pirates, unicorns, magic... This is a weird review of an equally weird movie.
