Upcoming Power Rangers Series Dead at Disney

Heath Andrews — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 22:14:41 +0000

Oh how the Mighty Morphin’ have fallen. The Power Rangers franchise has somehow managed to walk a thin line for years. Unlike Pokémon which has maintained its popularity over the years, Power Rangers dropped off a cliff. It managed to maintain enough of a fan base to not completely die-off. From 1993 to 2023 (with [...]

Upcoming Animated Wonka Film from Netflix to get Theatrical Release

Heath Andrews — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 03:11:44 +0000

“I never thought that I would see, a Netflix release, theatrically. But suddenly I begin to see, a chocolate factory.” Those aren’t actually the words to “I’ve Got a Golden Ticket,” but it’s a decent enough rewrite for these purposes. The world of Willy Wonka is one of arguably unnecessary remakes. The original musical from [...]

The treatment of marine life at water parks became a serious hotbed issue with the 2013 documentary, Blackfish. Mind you, the subject was a big deal even before this film. However, the success of the project brought the conversation to the forefront of the cultural zeitgeist. Whales, dolphins, and other marine mammals are frightfully complex [...]

Say what you will about Mel Gibson, but he has been in some amazing movies. Yes, the guy is uh, let’s say, “troubled.” Despite this, he has a pretty fantastic film resume with the Lethal Weapon series being a big staple of them. Across four films he plated Martin Riggs alongside Danny Glover‘s Roger Murtagh. [...]

Incel Inspired Rom-Com Coming to Toronto Film Festival

We live in a strange and worrying time. Thanks to the culture of the internet, certain voices can get amplified with ease. Some of the more troubling perspectives are those of the male “incel” community. While the term stands for involuntarily celibate, its taken on a much more toxic definition. Often, the people who find [...]

Star Wars and Marvel Comic Crossover to Kick-Off in January

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Marvel used to publish Star Wars comics. Shortly after the debut of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope a comic series continued the adventures. That series was indeed published by Marvel and ran into the mid 80s. At some point in the early [...]

Warner Bros. Confirms Jim Carrey to Play George Jetson in Live-Action Film

Heath Andrews — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 03:35:59 +0000

Jim Carrey has had a strange career over the last ten years. Despite having a tremendous run of films through the mid 90s to the mid 2000’s, he hasn’t capitalized on that fame in recent years. Believe it or not, the only films Carrey has done across the last decade have been the Sonic the [...]

Jane Leeves Releasing Book About Her Time as Daphne on Frasier

Heath Andrews — Sat, 08 Aug 2026 17:31:37 +0000

If you’ve followed Nerdbot for a while, then you fully well know about our love of Frasier. Specifically, this author’s love of the show. It’s my opinion that Frasier is the greatest sitcom in the history of the genre. Yes, Cheers is wonderful and I adore that to tears. Still, Frasier took character humor to [...]

Gareth Edwards Out as Director for Unnecessary Jurassic Park Sequel

Heath Andrews — Sat, 08 Aug 2026 16:20:55 +0000

There are so many obvious jokes that someone could make about the Jurassic Park franchise being dated. It’s like a dried-up fossil! They brought it back to life just like the dinosaurs in the movies! Or perhaps most fittingly, “your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to [...]

What a difference a day can make. Just yesterday, August 6th, we reported that Uli Latukefu would be taking on the role of Ganondorf in the upcoming Legend of Zelda film.
