Atari Makes Dumbass Deal to Adapt its Games into Films at Universal

Heath Andrews — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 21:22:25 +0000

Alright, that’s it, everyone. Creativity is finally dead and gone. You probably already knew this full well from some of our previous film coverage. Remember the article we did two years ago about Sony and Mattel doing a View-Master movie? That’s how truly bad things are getting. Instead of a new intellectual property, let’s just [...]

Review – King of the Hill Season 15 – Still the King

Heath Andrews — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 15:23:11 +0000

Last year, I raved about the quality of King of the Hill and its revival. Season 14 was absolutely stellar and a sign that revivals can actually work. The batch of ten episodes that premiered on Hulu was fresh and familiar in the best ways possible. They did what was seemingly impossible in today’s television [...]

Amazon Finally Greenlights Robocop Series

Well, it’s about fricken time! We’ve been talking about the developing Robocop series for years now. We’ve talked about it being developed, James Wan being attached to it, and Peter Ocko being a showrunner. Finally, we can report that the series is good to go for Amazon. We just hope Robocop hasn’t rusted in the [...]

Live-Action Disney, Tiana Film in the Works

Heath Andrews — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 14:59:14 +0000

Disney is having a roller coaster ride at the box office with its live-action remakes. While Lilo & Stitch did amazingly well, Moana is currently tanking hard, as of the time of this writing. And while Mufasa: The Lion King is technically “photorealistic” and not live action, it also did well for itself. But then [...]

No, AI Should Not be Winning Film Awards. Ever.

Heath Andrews — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 19:12:33 +0000

The conversation about Artificial Intelligence and its role as a “tool” in filmmaking is getting more heated. Stoking the flames are issues like a completely AI-generated version of The Odyssey. Not to mention the AI “actress” Tilly Norwood and “her” upcoming film. At Nerdbot, we’ve taken a hardline stance about AI in creative arts; we [...]

“SNL” Loses Another Veteran Cast Member – Chloe Fineman

Heath Andrews — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 12:49:33 +0000

We’ve had a lot to say about Saturday Night Live in the last year or two. It’s not shocking, really. The series recently wrapped its 51st season and started a UK spin-off. It remains an ever-evolving part of the television landscape. Part of that evolution comes from the constantly changing cast. Unless you’re Keenan Thompson, [...]

So, There’s an AI Version of “The Odyssey” Coming Out Later This Year

Heath Andrews — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 14:29:17 +0000

Maybe you’ve heard of The Asylum. They’re a company known for making “mockbusters.” “What’s a mockbuster?” you ask? Well, that’s easy. It’s like a blockbuster film, but not. It has a similar name and a similar story, but with a much worse plot, budget, and actors. The Asylum has made a name for itself by [...]

Taco Bell and Cyclosporiasis – Separating Facts and Rumors

The recent outbreak of cyclosporiasis is not a laughing matter to people who have caught it. The Cyclospora parasite has been infecting thousands of people across multiple states. The intestinal issues it causes are enough to cause serious health problems for those with pre-existing conditions. Even for those who don’t, the amount of explosive diarrhea [...]

Upcoming “Conjuring” Prequel Casts Younger Versions of The Warrens

Heath Andrews — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 13:31:49 +0000

In terms of more recent horror franchises, The Conjuring is possibly the biggest of them. Between the main films in the franchise, you also have Annabelle, The Nun, and their sequels. The main storyline of the films seems to have come to a recent close with 2025’s The Conjuring: Last Rites. But that’s not going [...]

Matt Reeves’ The Batman: Part II Delayed Into 2028

Heath Andrews — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 18:17:18 +0000

Believe it or not its been almost four and a half years since The Batman hit theaters. The Matt Reeves-directed version of the Bat starred Robert Pattinson in the titular role. Strong reviews and a tidy box office profit ensured more films would be on the way. That’s still the case, but we’ve been waiting [...]
