February 02, 2022 14:02 - 1 hour - 140 MBA review of the wildly fun action movie, Nobody, starring Bob Odenkirk, Christopher Lloyd, and RZA. Why the Mandalorian’s return is bad news for Boba Fett, 80s action movies in which the heroes are kids, and choosing between the musical stylings of Bruce Willis or Freddy Krueger.
#133 – The Book of Boba FEternals
January 20, 2022 23:39 - 1 hour - 129 MBThe first few episodes of The Book of Boba Fett are very "Disney". DC has another potential hit with HBO's Peacemaker. Yellowjackets on Showtime is creepy, weird, dark, and a hell of a lot of fun. Plus, a review of Marvel's The Eternals, the trailer for Moon Knight, and surprisingly a couple of late 80s/early 90s action movies do not hold up. And please head over to ADAMSNERDS.com for more.

October 14, 2021 01:50 - 1 hour - 131 MBHBO released the much-hyped prequel to The Sopranos, The Many Saints of Newark; which was both satisfying and vexing. The Halloween movie season has arrived and first up is the 2019 reboot of Child's Play. And happenstance brought us another wildly amusing movie starring the always entertaining Reb Brown.

#127 – A Dude Named Reb Brown
September 19, 2021 16:23 - 1 hour - 119 MBThe 1979 Captain America movies "starring" Reb Brown are a confounding quagmire of iffy dialog, shoddy FX, and bad acting, and yet they still manage to be almost entirely unwatchable.

#125 – Spider-Man: No Way (Sony Premieres It At) Home
August 26, 2021 15:20 - 1 hour - 130 MBSpider-Man: No Way Home looks like an utterly amazing, team-up adventure through the multiverse, even if it's adapting one of Marvel's worst comic book flops.
