Episode 104 - Reboots: Masterpieces or Cash Grabs?

from Frantic Nerdcast · host Frantic Nerdcast

Welcome to Episode 104 of the Frantic Nerdcast! This week, the crew is fresh (or maybe not so fresh) from their bi-annual golf trip and ready to tackle the complicated legacy of the "Reboot". In this episode: The Golf Trip Recap: We talk about the "Trophy of Destiny," 72-hole charity marathons, and the creative punishments waiting for Brock on the course. Reboots That Worked: A deep dive into why Battlestar Galactica is a gold standard for reboots, plus our thoughts on the Star Trek movie trilogy and the Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The Ones That Failed: Why the Charmed remake and How I Met Your Father missed the mark, and our frustration with the Resident Evil Netflix series. News & Rumors: Updates on the Alita: Battle Angel sequel, Fallout season plans, and the upcoming Harry Potter HBO series. Game Development: We have officially launched our card game, Monsters at War! Learn how you can get your copy of this multiversal monster-shedding game.
