September 27, 2022 02:21 - 1 hour - 76.4 MBThe Salty Nerds talk about all dem Targaryan babies that aren't really Targaryan babies and all the shenanigans Rhaenyra is getting up to over the course of 10 years.

Salty Nerd Reviews: SEE - The Storm (S3E4)
September 22, 2022 12:26 - 1 hour - 69.6 MBSEE Season 3 Episode 4 has people smearing poop on their face in an odd trend this season, but whatever, the Salty Nerds are here for it. In this episode of the Jason Momoa epic series from AppleTV, Kofun walks around with a knife wound in his back the entire time, Sybeth is eating all kinds of weird stuff when she's not smearing horse dung all over herself, Harlan's F-buddy makes a very serious move, we have a brief Stargate Atlantis reunion, and we return to the House of Enlightenment! ...

September 21, 2022 15:00 - 40 minutes - 37.4 MBTotal Recall 2012 movie review is mostly the Salty Nerds talking about how many times they fell asleep while watching this extremely boring action movie. This "reimagining" of the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger film from Paul Verhoeven comes to us from the creator of the Underworld franchise, Len Wiseman. Starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, and Bryan Cranston, Total Recall is the story of Douglas Quaid who may or may not be a secret agent that's forced to choose between...
Recall Week: Total Recall (1990)
September 21, 2022 15:00 - 58 minutes - 54 MBTotal Recall 1990 movie review from the Salty Nerds has them all wanting to get their ass to Mars so they can unlock ancient alien artifacts and party with three-tittied hookers. After all, they got 5 kids to feed! Based on the Philip K. Dick short story We Can Remember It For You Wholesale, Total Recall marks the only collaboration between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Paul Verhoeven, and it's glorious to behold. Also starring a very sexy Sharon Stone, as well as Michael Ironside and Ronny...
Salty Nerd Reviews: Buck Rogers In The 25th Century - Space Vampire (S1E14)
September 20, 2022 10:00 - 36 minutes - 33.8 MBBuck Rogers In The 25th Century Space Vampire Review has the Salty Nerds marveling over how goofy the Vorvon villain is, and wondering why the show just didn't call him the "Unibrowpire"? In this episode, Buck and Wilma are on their way to a sexy vacation getaway, but when they stop at a space station to drop off Twiki, they find themselves quarantined and fighting an army of "mostly dead" zombies and a weird looking Space Vampire that has the hots for Wilma. Buck must use all of his 20t...
Salty Nerd Reviews: House of the Dragon - We Light The Way (S1E5)
September 19, 2022 18:54 - 1 hour - 77.9 MBAt the midway point of season 1, The House Of The Dragon seems to be losing some of its steam with a number of subplots and events that don't seem to be properly set up and actually confusing to the audience if they haven't read the books. In this episode, King Viserys goes to Seastone to make nice with House Velaryon and to wed Rhaenyra to Laenor Velaryon. Ser Criston Cole gets SIMPy for Rhaenyra, Daemon ends his marriage and starts eyeing Laena Velaryon, Lyonel Strong is the new Hand of ...
Judgement Week: Dredd (2012)
September 16, 2022 10:00 - 47 minutes - 43.5 MBDredd Movie Review from the Salty Nerds has them geeking out over this "day in the life of Judge Dredd" movie from Karl Urban and Alex Garland. Nowhere near as campy as Stallone's 1995 take on the Judge Dredd character, this film sees Urban's Dredd team up with Olivia Thirlby as a mutant rookie Judge as they take on a crime lord named Ma-Ma, played by Cersei Lannister herself, Lena Headey. This film has lots of slow motion and tons of action! But best yet, Karl Urban is the only lead ac...
Salty Nerd Reviews: SEE - This Land Is Your Land (S3E3)
September 15, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 62.8 MBCHET CHET y'all! It's time to dig into episode 3 of AppleTV's SEE, starring Jason Momoa!

Wren shows up and confirms that Trevantis is up to no good and there are a lot of bombs at the House of Enlightenment that need to get destroyed before they destroy Pensa. And Harlan is confirmed to have one hell of a ...
Judgement Week: Judge Dredd (1995)
September 14, 2022 10:00 - 38 minutes - 35.1 MBJudge Dredd Movie Review from the Salty Nerds have them marveling at just how many times Sylvester Stallone and Armand Assante can shout "LAW" at each other and make "Justice" puns. Judge Dredd from 1995 is a guilty pleasure movie that sees Sylvester Stallone re-team with his Demolition Man co-star Rob Schneider and Diane Lane to uncover a very convoluted conspiracy plot, all while NOT wearing Judge Dredd's iconic helmet. What is your Judge Dredd 1995 movie review? Did you love it? H...
Salty Nerd Reviews: Buck Rogers in the 25th Century - Planet Of The Amazon Women (S1E10)
September 13, 2022 10:00 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MBBuck Rogers Planet Of The Amazon Women is probably one of the sexiest episodes of Television ever released to the general public. Buck is sidetracked from a romantic dinner with Wilma Deering when two scantily clad sisters send out a distress beacon to lure Buck to a planet where men are in short supply. Buck is quickly captured and auctioned off as a prime specimen of masculinity, and forced to show off his chest and wear sexy leather outfits. Deering suspects something is up and goes to...

September 12, 2022 20:23 - 1 hour - 80.5 MBThe Nerds are back to talk about episode 4 of the HBO original series (and Game of Thrones prequel) The House Of The Dragon! In this episode, Daemon returns to King's Landing to make out with his niece, Rhaenyra puts the moves on Ser Criston Cole, Otto Hightower spreads some unseemly rumors, and Viserys has lots more wounds than when we last saw him! Oh, and there are a TON of pornographic tapestries hanging all over the Red Keep. The show is also taking some departures from the source ma...
80s Chinese Mysticism Week: Big Trouble In Little China (1986)
September 09, 2022 10:00 - 50 minutes - 46 MBBig Trouble In Little China movie review from the Salty Nerds have them perplexed at this awesome cult classic movie from John Carpenter and Kurt Russell. Kurt Russell plays the legendary Jack Burton who teams up with Dennis Dun and Victor Wong to fight the cursed Chinese sorcerer David Lo Pan (played by James Hong ) all the while romancing Kim Cattrall and dropping epic one-liners. Big Trouble In Little China is ahead of its time in many ways, and part of its box office failure was beca...
Salty Nerd Reviews: SEE - Watch Out For Wolves (S3E2)
September 08, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 64.2 MBThe Salty Nerds have a bone to pick with the second episode of season 3 of AppleTV's Jason Momoa series SEE. Actually, several bones as the show slides back into season 1 levels of glorious ridiculousness. Kofun is still being a terrible father, Haniwa is being annoying, Boba Voss smells like poop, Maghra is the worst Queen ever, and Sybeth is back on the loose for no apparent reason. Oh, and the guards in Pensa are the absolute worst. But you know what? The show is still a ton of fun a...
80s Chinese Mysticism Week: The Golden Child (1986)
September 07, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 55.9 MBThe Golden Child movie review from the Salty Nerds has them talking about this 1986 classic from Eddie Murphy which went from being a serious mystical thriller to what essentially amounts to a supernatural version of Beverly Hills Cop. This fantasy comedy film is a nostalgic favorite of the Salty Nerds and follows Eddie Murphy as private investigator Chandler Jarrell as he teams up with expert martial artist Kee Nang to search for the kidnapped Golden Child. Along the way, Eddie Murphy dea...

September 03, 2022 22:00 - 41 minutes - 38.1 MBTremors 3 Back To Perfection movie review from the Salty Nerds has them liking this Tremors sequel a little better than the second film, but not by much. By this point in the Tremors franchise, Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward are nowhere to be found, so Michael Gross steps up to the plate as his character Burt Gummer is now the main character of the series. We return to the small town of Perfection Nevada where many of the original actors from the first Tremors film reprise their roles, albeit...
Tremors Week: Tremors II: Aftershocks (1996)
September 02, 2022 19:14 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MBTremors 2 Aftershocks movie review from the Salty Nerds has them feeling like they were denied vital, need-to-know information, because this sequel falls far short of the classic original Tremors. Fred Ward and Michael Gross are back for the second installment of the Tremors franchise, but Kevin Bacon is nowhere to be found. This time, the Graboids evolve into a less scary version called Shriekers, and now both the comedy and the tension is extremely lacking. But Burt Gummer is back, an...
Salty Nerd Reviews: Farscape - Family Ties (S1E22)
September 01, 2022 18:37 - 37 minutes - 34.2 MBFarscape Season 1 Episode 22 review from the Salty Nerd Podcast has them talking about Family Ties and the MASSIVE cliffhanger season 1 of this delightful sci-fi show ended on. However, many of the Salty Nerds are not liking Farscape, because it's too weird or too muppety! Jim Henson still has a lot of influence on this TV series, and some people don't think that's a good thing! In this episode, Rygel betrays the crew of Moya and tries to sell them out. But due to Scorpius looking to e...
Salty Nerd Reviews: SEE - Heavy Hangs The Head (S3E1)
September 01, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 70 MBHey Everyone! SEE is back for its third and final season, and the Salty Nerds are here to break down SEE Season 3 Episode 1 - Heavy Hangs The Head.

Tremors Week: Tremors (1990) featuring David Hewlett
August 31, 2022 10:00 - 51 minutes - 47.5 MBTremors movie review from the Salty Nerds has them debating on whether or not this movie is an underrated classic, or simply a fun monster movie that's gained cult status over the years. In Tremors (1990), Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, and Michael Gross (whose character Burt Gummer goes on to be the main character of the franchise) fight a bunch of underground graboids that have a hunger for human flesh and really, really good ears. This movie started the Tremors franchise and is directed by R...

August 26, 2022 10:00 - 48 minutes - 44.8 MBCarrie 1976 movie review from the Salty Nerds have them discussing Brian de Palma's horror movie masterpiece that successfully adapted Stephen King's first novel into a feminist allegory for smashing the patriarchy. Sissy Spacek stars as the titular Carrie White. She's bad at volleyball, doesn't know what a period is, and can movie stuff with her mind. Nancy Allen is busy hating her while she isn't getting slapped around by John Travolta, and Amy Irving is trying to hook Carrie up with ...
Stephen King Week: Firestarter (1984)
August 25, 2022 10:00 - 49 minutes - 45.2 MBFirestarter movie review from the Salty Nerds has them marveling at just how much Netflix's Stranger Things ripped this movie off. We all know that the Duffer Brothers were heavily inspired by the work of Stephen King when they were making Stranger Things, but they essentially ripped off the Firestarter 1984 movie starring Drew Barrymore as a child gifted with powerful psychic abilities that is relentlessly pursued by a secretive government agency who wants to either control her or kill h...

August 24, 2022 07:00 - 46 minutes - 42.3 MBSilver Bullet (1985) movie review from the Salty Nerds has them laughing at how terrible the werewolf is in this Stephen King werewolf movie!

Based on the Stephen King ...

Salty Nerd Reviews: The House Of The Dragon (S1E1) - The Heirs of the Dragon
August 22, 2022 20:40 - 1 hour - 81 MBHey everyone - Game Of Thrones is back! Well, sort of. House of the Dragon is a prequel to good ol' Game of Thrones, focusing on House Targaryen at the height of their power and the civil war within their house that almost destroyed them and lead to the extinction of the Dragons. Episode 1 feels like vintage Game of Thrones and knows it has a lot to make up for after the abysmal and disappointing final season of GOT. But it actually seems up to the task with increased production value an...

August 18, 2022 10:00 - 32 minutes - 29.9 MBDay Shift review from the Salty Nerds has them marveling over the fact that there's a Netflix Original movie that they actually like for once. Day Shift, starring Jamie Foxx and Snoop Dogg, is the type of movie that would spawn if Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Blade, and John Wick were all in a wild orgy and had a baby together.

The original vision of everyone's favorite cheerleader-turned-vampire-hunter from Joss Whedon, starring Kristy Swanson, Luke Perry, Donald Sutherland, Paul Reubens, and Rutger Hauer.

August 09, 2022 15:45 - 37 minutes - 34.4 MBPrey movie review from the Salty Nerds has them talking about this prequel to the Predator movies from writer/director Dan Trachtenberg. The Prey Movie has taken a lot of criticism in the build up to its release on HULU for being "woke" and replacing the beefy Arnold Schwarzenegger with the petit Amber Midthunder as the main character who faces off with the Feral Predator. Is it really that bad? Or did the movie fall into the "get woke go broke" trap? Technically a Predator 5, Prey i...
