Game Of Thrones is over and I need a reason to keep my HBONow subscription. It’s weird but I feel like only eight years or so ago the Home Box Office kept my attention year round. One killer Sunday night lineup followed by the next from January through November. However in recent times the network has seemed to be a primarily Thrones driven network. And now that the show is over, myself, along with the executives at the studio, are in need of a new television phenomenon. Enter Watchmen; Damon Lindelof’s upcoming series based on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’…

If you like stories about people with special abilities, and to get even more specific, born with their abilities, Gerard Way, Gabrielle Ba, and Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy is kinda all you have to look forward to. There’s no more Heroes on NBC, The Gifted got cancelled, you’re probably not going to fork over the loot to see Dark Phoenix, plus why invest time in new X-Men movies when Disney will more than likely start gutting the franchise so it may be rebuilt. However, if there’s only going to be one powers via birth situation on your television, The Umbrella…

Stop, uh, Rumor Time! When you’re looking for topics to write about for Nerdbot, the Disney, Fox Acquisition could be a plethora of potential stories just waiting to be broken. Obviously the relevance for our readers lies mostly in the integration of the Fox Marvel characters to the Disney Marvel Cinematic Universe. You know, the one that released like the biggest movie ever a couple of months ago. Yes… that one. But before we discuss the main focus of this article I want to say in advance that what you are about to read is one hundred percent a RUMOR.…

We’re you surprised to hear Robert Pattinson will be the new Batman? The answer should be yes. I have yet to see a crystal ball big enough to predict that casting choice. Honestly I’m still a little surprised but the general consensus is if one can look beyond the Twilight movies, there’s actually a really serious actor behind Pattinson’s beautiful British face. This unusual turn of events might leave you feeling a sense of confusion… How did it happen? Why? Was there anyone else? Well fortunately for us, SuperheroHype.com via The Hollywood Reporter gave some insight into the casting process.…

I’ll tell you, one good thing about the Hollywood remake machine is the nostalgia factor. If we’re on the brink of saying goodbye to all forms of originality, at the way least I guess we can get a shot of feeling like a kid again for a couple minutes. And who better to pump the nostalgia well than the Jurassic Park franchise? I mean the whole thing is predicated on the fact that you liked dinosaurs when you were younger. The original was a shear revolution in filmmaking while the later installments seem to be more reliant on brand or…

How does one go beyond a multiverse? To put it simply, like an old rerun of Emeril Live… you kick that sucker up a notch! But we’ll get there. For the moment let’s turn our attention to the aftermath of the events that transpired in Doomsday Clock Issue #9. If anyone hasn’t officially called it the Manhattan Metahuman Mars Massacre, I’m totally claiming it right now. That kind of alliteration should not go unacknowledged. But yes, a better chunk of the DC Comic Universe flew to the Red Planet to be easily defeated by our favorite naked blue Watchman. Seriously,…

In case you haven’t already forgotten, DC comics launched their very own streaming service called DC Universe. And much like Warner Bothers’ extended cinematic universe, there have been a couple of issues. Whether you’re pointing the finger at the quality of the content, or simply the fact that nobody wants to pay for yet another streaming service, it’s clear a hit is so desperately needed. Which brings us to DC’s new show, Swamp Thing. Yes, Swamp Thing is still owned by DC and just as we’re on the precipice of the premiere, a fresh trailer made its way to the…

Yes, there is a subgenre of music completely devoted to the prehistoric era.  I was surprised to learn about this because I consider myself to be somewhat musically inclined, at least when it comes to listening, and I’ve never even heard of such a category. What is dinosaur rock you might ask? If I could easily describe the sound, it encompasses several sounds.  Rock, funk, ska, punk, I would set the spectrum with the Voodoo Glow Skulls on one end and S.C.I.E.N.C.E. days Incubus on the other, somewhere in between them, only coupled with lyrics inspired by the creatures that roamed planet…

There are so many reboots, remakes, whatever you want to call them either being made or in development right now, it’s hard to keep track of them all. Seems like I start a good amount of my articles for Nerdbot with a variation of that sentence. Disney is even rebooting Honey I Shrunk The Kids crying out loud. While I personally believe the line of originality in Hollywood is being walked rather thinly but some stories are definitely worthy of being retold. Stephen King’s It, for a long time was at the top of my list of projects in dire…

Now I know by the headline this article can only one of two things; either Disney has finally launched their plan for global domination and are now recruiting soldiers to enforce the code of the Magic Kingdom upon us, or the their new Star Wars inspired amusement park attraction is in need of employees. Fortunately for us, Disney isn’t firing up the tanks just yet. However, they are hiring fresh faces to wear masks and bring joy to the millions people who will be attending Anaheim once the highly anticipated Star Wars World or whatever their calling it opens to…
