The 2018 animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was full of surprises. One of the many of them is Spider-Man Noir. Voiced by Nicolas Cage, his black-and-white grizzled detective stole the show. In fact, it helped greenlight his own show. Earlier this year, Amazon premiered Spider-Noir to strong critical reviews. That was substantiated with several Emmy nominations. Then, over the last weekend, it was announced that Spider-Noir was cancelled… And then it went on to win 5 Emmy Awards. Spider-Noir & the Streaming Age The cancellation came as a bit of a shock. It was a high-profile project that met…

Rock stars and egos go hand in hand. The history of popular music is filled with feuds, arguments, fights, and squabbles. It’s hard to find bands that haven’t had some sort of major argument that threatened to, or did, break them up. That tension can get even worse when family is involved. If you need an example, look no further than Noel and Liam Gallagher. The two brothers are the bedrock of the band Oasis and have famously had a very contentious relationship. They managed to patch things up for a 2025 world tour. A documentary about that tour also…

The path that Coyote vs. Acme has taken to get to the theaters has been one that could be turned into its own movie. There’s no reason why this film should have been shelved by Warner Bros. Discovery. Well, there was a reason apparently: a tax write-off. Enter Ketchup Entertainment, stepping up to save the day. They saved the film from languishing in a vault somewhere and brought it to the big screen over the weekend of August 28th, 2026. In the lead-up, the movie picked up some pretty strong reviews from critics. Audiences seemed to respond to it positively…

Throughout the 1980s and into the ’90s, cartoons and toy lines started going hand-in-hand. You know some of them quite well. Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Masters of the Universe come to mind. We talked about how the revival of MOTU may not have been the best idea, but there was merit to it. Sometimes it’s good to revisit these franchises. Of course, it needs to be done with good reason and the right business sense. A live-action movie with a massive budget probably wasn’t the best for He-Man. Sometimes a smaller, softer launch is called for. That’s what the Mighty…

My oh my, how time does fly. In September 2026, we are a little over two years removed from the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris. Maybe you’re a massive fan of the Olympics. Or, like many others, maybe you just kind of forget about what happened until it somehow comes up in conversation. There were some notable moments for sure. And there was one athlete who will live on in infamy for her performance in the breakdancing event. We’re referring to Rachel Gunn, otherwise known as Raygun. If you forgot about her or missed out on what happened in…

The world was in a different place in early 2019 than it would be for several years to follow. When Avengers: Endgame hit theaters that April, it was the culmination of an epic box office run by Marvel and Disney. Then the COVID-19 pandemic happened, and the world unraveled. Things have started to come back together slowly but surely. Now, seven years after Endgame, it’s coming back to theaters in an “Encore” version that’s supposedly “required viewing” for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. Let’s talk about that. Superhero Fatigue is Real There’s already a debate going on about “superhero fatigue” in…

Oh great, just what we needed. It’s that time of day again when we need an announcement about a major movie production no one gives a crap about. This time the project is being brought to us by Ryan Gosling. We’ll admit, we like the guy! He was great in Project Hail Mary, and we absolutely adore him in The Nice Guys. We still want a sequel to that. That’s not the project Gosling is pushing forward, though. In fairness, it’s not like it’s his project to pursue. No, he’s going with a live-action movie about Bamm-Bamm Rubble from The…

We at Nerdbot believe that news should be a matter of fact and not opinion. When a story is being reported on, it should be free of bias and personal perspective. Journalistic objectivity is incredibly important when you are reading information. Having said that, there is a point in time where you have to take a stand against tyranny. That’s why we’re comfortable in stating that the recent actions at the Kennedy Center are beyond the realm of normalcy, decency, and democracy. This madness needs to end. The Ongoing Kennedy Center Mess We’ve stated this before, and we will do…

The passing of Tim Curry has hit very hard. The announcement of his passing came just one day after the passing of Dolly Parton. Incidentally, they were both 80 years old when they passed. They had markedly different careers, but they both had longevity that made them icons for different reasons. Losing people back-to-back like this is a double whammy of pain. It’s also a stark reminder that we invariably will lose the people we admire and care about. The only way we don’t lose them is if we go first, and that’s not really a happy alternative. So, in…

If you were a high school or college student in the early 2000’s, then you know the film Donnie Darko. This was THE edgy, unique, and deep film that everyone was talking about. Your friends saw it and then told you to see it. Your artsy schoolmates wouldn’t shut up about it. Ever. The film holds a cult status for a reason. It’s confusing, atmospheric, has a banging soundtrack, and has deeply rooted lore. It’s also finally getting a sequel now in the form of a novel, The Philosophy of Time Travel. Now, perhaps you remember that there actually was…
