Heath Andrews has been a student of pop culture ever since he found himself to be the only student in 3rd grade who regularly watched "Get Smart" on Nick-At-Nite. Ever since then he's been engrossed in way too much media with a growing collection of music, books, comics, TV on DVD box sets, and a video game collection that could rival a brick and mortar store. Prior to writing for Nerdbot he's written for Review You, MyAnimeList, and various advertising companies.

Some people are connoisseurs of bad films. I’m not quite at that level. I do, however, enjoy seeing just how bad certain movies are. Especially when it comes to major motion pictures. A bad independent movie is understandable. A group of people makes a film, it doesn’t turn out great, but that’s that. When it’s a major studio release, though, it means so much more to be awful. It means people had to sign off on this thing. They all had to look at it and say, “Yeah, this is good! We need to put this into theaters!” It makes…

Convicted felon and current U.S. President, Donald Trump, is an infant, parading around as a man. While this statement is hyperbolic, his recent reported comments indicate he is grossly immature. But everyone should already know this. There is nothing political about looking at Trump’s handling of the Kennedy Center and saying, “This is childish.” Because objectively, it is. And now he’s come to the level of effectively saying, “If I can’t have it, no one can.” Like a petulant, selfish, moronic, asshole child. Summarizing the Kennedy Center Madness We have previously reported and kept up with developments surrounding the John…

We’d like to start by stating something serious. If you or someone you know is experiencing a crisis or may try to harm themselves, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Carrot Top’s Friday Evening Trauma Fairly late in the evening of September 18th, 2026, comedian Carrot Top was taken to the hospital after attempting to take his own life. Details are scarce at the moment. He was set to perform at the Luxor. That show has obviously been cancelled. Carrot Top’s real name is Scott Thompson. He’s well known for being one of the legends…

A person’s preference in fast food locations is going to vary significantly depending on who you talk to. Beyond that, it’s going to vary from food item to food item. Just today I was having a debate with someone about whose French fries are better. I argued Burger King had the superior fry, but the consensus of others seemed to fall with McDonald’s. If there was one thing that could be agreed on by most people, though, it’s that Burger King had the weakest chicken nuggets among them: McDonald’s and Wendy’s. But BK has been on a tear trying to…

Nostalgia has been much kinder to the Nintendo GameCube than the past was to it. At the time of its release, it was overshadowed by the juggernaut that was the PlayStation 2. Microsoft was a newcomer to the console market as well in the form of the Xbox. The combination of all of that, combined with the issues of the Nintendo 64, caused the GameCube to wind up last in sales among the big three consoles of the sixth generation. So what’s the deal now with the GameCube getting so much love in the retro market? Is it blind love…

It seems like over the last decade or so, you can’t talk about Mike Flanagan without talking about Stephen King. Flanagan does not only do adaptations of King’s work. We promise. It just happens to be that his last three feature films and his upcoming Amazon Prime series were and are adaptations of Stephen King’s books. For those keeping track at home, we had Gerald’s Game, Doctor Sleep, and The Life of Chuck, with the upcoming project being Carrie. But another project has been circling Flanagan’s workspace tied to King. It’s a big one too: The Dark Tower. It’s the…

Who would have imagined that thirty years ago Judy Sheindlin would become the most-watched woman on daytime TV? In 1996, she appeared on television sets for the first time as a TV judge. The format was not new. It had already been done by The People’s Court years prior. Her personality was new. Judge Judy thrived off the no-nonsense attitude and coarse demeanor of Sheindlin. It kept viewers engaged, brought more courtroom arbitration shows to the airwaves, and carved out a place in television history. The show Judge Judy wrapped up in 2021. Sheindlin would go on to star on…

In 1999, a movie was released to theaters that never should’ve existed. The film was Lake Placid. The more you know about who is in this movie and who’s behind it, the more absurd it becomes. And yes, a movie about a giant crocodile in Maine is already pretty absurd. We get that. But this is a horror movie written by the same guy who created Ally McBeal, The Practice, Boston Legal, and more recently, The Lincoln Lawyer. Welcome to the mind of David E. Kelley. David E. Kelley – From Picket Fences to Lake Placid This is one of…

The 2026 Emmy Awards were held on September 14th. They’re not as big an award ceremony as they used to be years ago. Still, they’re the biggest name in television recognition. This year was a momentous one for a few reasons. Though it’s not the subject of this article, we have to give Jean Smart a shout-out for doing a historic sweep. She’s the first woman to win an Emmy for every year that her comedy show Hacks aired. Five years, five wins, one woman. But it was also a huge night for Widow’s Bay. The comedy/horror show has become…
