Ah… Quentin Tarantino, America’s favorite… I’m not sure exactly what but he’s America’s favorite something, and he’s making headlines again. You can probably recall recent stories about how his ninth film would be about the Manson Family murders. I think every media outlet, including us here at Nerdbot were thrilled to see what was on the horizon. Was QT finally going to do a horror movie? How was he going to tell this story? The dude is practically a master of on screen character elimination so to be given a filmable scenario where a bunch of people get slaughtered mercilessly,…

After twenty months of wondering if Warner Brothers will ever redeem themselves for the shortcomings of Batman v Superman. Twenty months of articles on Twitter speculating Ben Affleck’s involvement in the DC Extended Universe. Twenty months of waiting on the latest trailer. Rumors. Uncertainty. Headlines. A grieving director, whose loss changed the course of his life, and also his vision. A definer of the genre called up to finish the project. More rumors. More headlines. Reshoots. Lots and lots of reshoots. The Justice League has arrived!! Here’s how we’re going to do this… I can go on forever about this…

With the Justice League only days away from a theater near you, Warner Brothers is already thinking about the future. Has anyone else noticed that when it comes to an upcoming slate of DC projects… there really isn’t one? We know Aquaman is set for December 2018, but unlike the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which casts a shadow for the next five years, the DCEU currently lacks such organization. If I were a gambling man I’d bet Warner Brothers is secretly locked and loaded with a fleet of DC movies. Unconfirmed rumors online suggest a decision on everything from Flashpoint, Suicide…

Have you met anyone who didn’t like Deadpool? We’re going on almost two years and I still can’t find a single person who hated it. Yes, the Merc with a Mouth’s official big screen debut (not and will never count X-Men Origins) was a hit with critics and audiences worldwide. If you’ve been online recently you would know a sequel is slated for release on June 1rst, 2018. So far we’ve seen a couple photos of Josh Brolin as Cable, a shot of Domino (played by Zazie Beetz), and the beginning of a Deadpool viral marketing campaign similar to the…

Yes… the question of Adam Sandler’s legacy as an actor is once again upon us. You have probably been scrolling through social media lately and see articles claiming Adam Sandler is not only; in a good movie, but also he’s great in it. So I am a thirty-three year old man, it’s basically assured as boat shoes at a Vampire Weekend concert that I have been a fan of Sandler during one arc of my life. When I was a kid, he was the SNL standout bound for glory, and when he broke, Sandler hit a fame wave like I…

Have you seen Stranger Things yet? If you haven’t, you really should watch it. Netflix’s unexpected summer 2016 phenomenon made its triumphant return to television this past Halloween for the highly anticipated second season. Since its premiere a couple weeks ago, the internet has delivered on a fresh crop of Stranger Things memes, fan theories, episode breakdowns, and interesting little stories about the show’s impact on society today. Which begs the question… what is one of the most popular things that art has the power to influence? Fashion. Whether kids are cutting their hair to look like Vanilla Ice or…

We have a little more than a week left until the much anticipated release of the Justice League and if I could get my hands on one of those remotes from Click to fast forward time, I totally would. For those of us who are like me, and you’ve googled “early Justice League reviews” a couple times a day for the last month, you know that what’s online so far radiates a lot of positivity. But it’s not enough, you want to see it for yourself and like everyone else, you’ll have to wait for November 17th. Well, someone at…

Whose ready to feel old? On November 18th, The Death of Superman, a landmark in the comic book universe will commemorate its 25th Anniversary. Let me give you the basics: The Death of Superman is spread out through seven issues which ran in the later part of 1992.  Dan Jurgens, Louise Simonson, and Roger Stern are the writers who were backed by a lengthy list of pencillers and artists.  The tale follows Doomsday, emerging from an intergalactic holding cell in a forest outside Bucyrus, Ohio (my home state).  He begins his reign of terror, defeats the Justice League, and engages…

Maybe it’s the upcoming release of The Last Jedi? Maybe people in the Buckeye state really like fall? Or maybe the good-hearted mid-western folks in my region of America are just trying to make others happy? All of these questions are worth asking.  And personally I’d really like to know what’s up because this year, Ohio is showing Star Wars a lot of love.  No, I’m not talking about a convention or some hipster bakery serving up light saber shaped dinner rolls. What I am getting at here are the fans, people like Parma resident Nich Meyer, who built a…

Photo Credit- Marvel Comics If you’ve been reading my stuff on Nerdbot, you will clearly know where I stand in the great Marvel vs DC debate.  However, from time to time I do venture outside the realms of Gotham City and Metropolis to the house that Stan Lee built and this week production began on one of my top-five comic characters ever, Venom. I’ve always leaned toward DC, never been able to explain it.  But there was a period in my life when Spider-man comics were what drove my existence.  As a kid, he is by far Marvel’s most relatable…
