Zero Dark Nerdy - Pop Culture Podcast

Zero Dark Nerdy is BACK and we brought friends. This week we're teaming up with our dear friends Josh and Spence of The Holy Goofs to dig into Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. We smell of the sea, sweat and burning firelight and it's safe to say we're still Trojan-horse-lagged from this feat of storytelling. This isn't just a good movie. This sets a brand new bar for filmmaking as it somehow exceeded expectations we already had turned up to eleven. The cast is stacked, every frame feels intentional, and the passion and intimacy woven through this journey is palpable from the opening minutes. We talk casting, craft, the emotional core of the story, and why this one is going to be talked about for years. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Zero Dark Nerdy is back with another blood-soaked deep dive, and this time the Deadites brought their A-game. On this episode we're breaking down Evil Dead Burn, the latest entry in one of modern horror's most reliably brutal franchises — and yeah, it delivered. We get into why this might be the most grotesque and extreme installment in the series to date, the relentless kill-kill-kill pacing that never gives you a second to breathe (let alone get bored), and the genuinely stunning cinematography that elevates the carnage into something almost beautiful. We also unpack that post-credits scene and what it might be setting up for the franchise's future. Then we zoom out: 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most fun, competitive, and creative years horror has seen in a long time, so we're ranking Evil Dead Burn against everything else we've watched this year and talking about what's got us most hyped on the horizon — including Werewulf and Clayface. If you love your horror nasty, gorgeous, and unapologetic, this one's for you.

Zero Dark Nerdy sat down with the team behind Night Nurse — writer-director Georgia Bernstein and stars Cemre Paksoy, Bruce McKenzie, and Mimi Rogers — to talk about their new film, a quiet, character-driven drama about how far we'll go for the people we're supposed to care for. Eleni (Paksoy) starts a new nursing job at a luxury retirement community and finds herself pulled into something she didn't expect — a string of scam calls targeting the residents that she can't quite explain and can't quite walk away from. At the same time, she's growing closer to Douglas (McKenzie), a patient she can't quite figure out. Closer than she probably should. It's a story where caring for someone ends and something else entirely begins... It's Bernstein's debut as a director, and in this episode we get her perspective on what drew her to the film, alongside Paksoy, McKenzie, and Rogers sharing their own takes on bringing these characters to life. Tune in for a conversation with the people behind a story that's as much about connection as it is about the things we don't say out loud.

We went into Obsession and The Backrooms as fans. We came out as full-blown evangelists. This week on Zero Dark Nerdy, we're breaking down two of the most talked-about films in the current indie horror wave — what worked, what messed us up, and why we genuinely couldn't stop thinking about them after the credits rolled. We share our reactions, dig into what makes both films tick, and then do what we do best: spiral into a conversation about what it all means for horror as a genre right now. Because here's the thing — these movies aren't just good. They're a signal. We dive into why this whole moment feels like exactly the kind of era we got into film for. Scrappy budgets, bold swings, atmosphere over jump scares — this is it. And we are hyped. If you love horror, love film, or just love watching two guys completely lose the plot over movies they're obsessed with — welcome home. New episodes every week.

We had a good time. We just wanted a little more. This week on Zero Dark Nerdy, we're sitting down with our full review of Supergirl — the DCU's big summer blockbuster — and honestly it's a mixed bag and we got opinions! Milly Alcock is fantastic, Jason Momoa as Lobo is simply undeniable. The cast all around brings real energy to their roles, and there's plenty of action-packed fun to keep you in your seat. When this movie is firing on all cylinders, you can feel the potential of where this DCU era COULD go. But we'd be doing you dirty if we didn't keep it real — the script and plot don't quite match the talent on screen, the pacing gets a little wobbly, and we are still grieving the Blondie-esque trailer soundtrack that never made it into the final film. It also feels like a movie with a few too many cooks in the kitchen, and that shows. Not a bad time at the theater by any means — just one we probably won't be revisiting at home. We dig into all of it, the highs, the frustrations, and what we're hoping the DCU takes away from this one going forward. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
