Episode 134 - Mindhunter S2
Mindhunter Season 2 Review As most of you know, we are huge David Fincher fans and could not wait for season one to drop last year.

Episode 133 - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Once Upon a Tim in Hollywood Review We are big Tarantino fans here at Nerd Nuptial but that doesn't mean we're fans of everything he's ever done. "Classic" Tarantino is a mainstay in our household. So when we were walking into the theater for this one, we were hoping for a return to form....

Avengers: Endgame Review We're a week late with the rest of the world but hopefully, that just gives more people to not get spoiled by our review. We give our spoiler-free impressions first and then, of course, give a warning before we get into spoiler territory. We loved Infinity War, got...

Episode 126 - Love, Death + Robots
Love, Death + Robots, Arrested Development, and Triple Frontier This was a great weekend for Netflix releases. It felt like it was almost geared specifically for us. David Fincher produced an anthology series based mostly on animation all centered around love, death, and you guessed it, robots....

Episode 125 - Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel Review In spite of the fanboy neckbeards trying to "review bomb" a film for having an outspoken female lead, Captain Marvel seems to be connecting and finding its audience. We had our reservations on seeing it in the theater because the trailers seemed uninteresting. However, we…

Episode 122 - Spider-Man on Film
The many different cinematic versions of Spider-Man A lot of people have complained that we have just too many versions of Spider-Man on film.

Episode 121 - Star Trek: Discover Season 2
Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 episodes "Brother" and "New Eden" This season of Star Trek: Discovery opened with a bang and it did not disappoint.

Episode 113 - House of Cards Season 6 Review
House of Cards Season 6 Review We are huge House of Cards fans, it was our all-time favorite show. Sadly, we have to emphasize "was". Seasons 1 and 2 contain stellar content. Season 3 was a misstep. Season 4 is one of the best seasons of television ever. Season 5 was a complete waste and here we...
-
Episode 112 - Halloween 2018
Halloween 2018 review With a franchise that all spawned from one film that premiered in 1978, this new sequel ignores everything but the original. Much like what Neil Blomkamp wanted to do with Aliens, David Gordon Green and Jamie Lee Curtis do with Halloween. 40 years later Michael Myers breaks...

Episode 111 - First Man Review
Our Review of First Man with Ryan Gosling We got to see First Man opening weekend and it was quite the immersive experience (especially when you're forced to sit in the front row).

Episode 106 - Fictional Characters. Real Emotion.
Why do we cry for imaginary people? Why does fiction stir our emotions? As nerds, we spend a lot of our personal time invested in people who aren't real. We watch lives unfold that have never been lived. We cry over the deaths of people who have never been born. Why? In this episode, we discuss…
