For those of you reading Nerdbot articles regularly you know that I am now officially a Los Angeleno! Waiting on my driver’s license to come in the mail but I’ve had In-N-Out Burger twice in eleven days. That makes it official right? Just like every other recent transplant, I have to do things to entertain myself while I assimilate into the culture of Southern California. What’s more So Cal than traffic? Movies! I’ve been the typical Hollywood newbie lately. Checking out various locations from my favorite films before I start my new job, maybe throw in a trip to the…

It’s in the headline, HBO has picked up Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen project for a full season set to debut in 2019. NME.com amongst other media outlets reported on the story when the news broke on August 18th. As Networks are buying up intellectual properties like there’s a sale happening someplace, HBO has secured a staple of comic book culture that could easily become their signature show once Game Of Thrones is no longer on television. Not to mention Showtime got Halo and Amazon spent a fortune on their Lord Of The Rings series, HBO will need a program with familiarity…

Alright everyone I know what you’re thinking; Adam… aren’t you the dude who doesn’t shut up about all things DC Comics? First, yes that is true, 100%. However being a man who doesn’t mind getting down on something new from time to time, I figured why not expand my horizons a little bit. Which brings me to a recently started run from Aspen Comics called Nu Way. And might I give a big shout out to the folks at Aspen for sending us a copy of the latest issue. Thank you! So far there have been two installments in the…

On August 13th, TheHollywoodReporter.com ran an article stating that the History Channel has renewed Knightfall for a second season. The show debuted in December of 2017 with a ten episode run and managed to get the attention of two million viewers as it progressed, so naturally the network is looking to bring more medieval drama to the airwaves in the near future. There have been two interesting developments as well… first, Mark Hamill, yes Luke Skywalker and the occasional voice of the Joker will be joining the cast. He is set to play Talus, a soldier in the Crusades who…

It’s no secret that for the last month I’ve been wrapped up in a cross country move which has consumed a truck load of my time, money, and sanity. Part of this whole cornucopia of events included me driving for thirty six hours throughout our beautiful nation, finalizing any desire I might have had to “see” America. Believe me, I was on the lookout for any interesting subjects to write about and much to my surprise, there weren’t too many. Within this quest to find Nerdbot relevant content, I stumbled upon something, one thing, I felt deserved the online article…

God only knows how many times I have watched the Shazam! trailer. It’s been a couple weeks since Comic-Con, believe me, I know I’m way late on this but I’ve been involved in a cross country move that brought me to the Golden State. In the last couple weeks, several… and I do mean a boat load of articles have been written on Shazam! We’re talking fan theories, preview breakdowns, everything. Naturally, I have to put my thoughts out there but I wanted to maybe try a different approach to explain why I feel the film could be a major…

On August 8th 2018, news exploded on the internet that a new mode of game play was coming to Super Smash Bros. Gamerant.com reported that Nintendo hosted a Nintendo Direct presentation for the upcoming Switch-exclusive fighting game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that revealed plenty of exciting new details. Fans seemed most hyped about the new fighters that were announced, like King K. Rool from Donkey Kong Country and some Castlevania fighters, and as it turns out, there are even more character reveals on the way. Too bad Nintendo wasn’t the first one to create that excellent Ultimate mode. That’s right; we, the fans, did it first. Well, specifically me.…

We spend a bunch of time talking about the big names of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Major players like Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Pratt dominate the headlines.

Each is set to reprise their roles of Nick Fury and Maria Hill. Here’s where the plot thickens, we saw in the post credit scene of Avengers: Infinity War, Nick Fury turns to ash as a result of Thanos’…

Matt Reeves is kind of becoming a household name when it comes to nerd culture. If you omit his 1996 “giving David Schwimmer an excuse to be in a movie” project The Pallbearer, Reeves has built a pretty impressive resume. The man has restored critical acclaim to the Planet Of The Apes franchise (“War For” was awesome) and now looks to leave his mark on another troubled intellectual property, the DCEU. According to Batman-News.com, Reeves was attending an event hosted by the Television Critics Association to trumpet his Fox drama The Passage but it wasn’t long before he began fielding…
