On December 31st, 2021 the world lost Betty White. With her passing, it marked having to say goodbye to all four of the Golden Girls. From 1985 to 1992, the misadventures of Dorothy Zbornak, Rose Nylund, Blanche Devereaux and Sophia Petrillo brought laughter and a sense of wonderful friendship into the homes of millions. And even though the actresses who played them, Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty, have all gone, their legacy looms large as the popularity of “The Golden Girls” remains large even to this day. 2025 marks 40 years since the show premiered, and…

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before, but a Stephen King novel is about to receive an adaptation. We know, surprising, right? Who would have imagined it? Though in fairness, two of the upcoming releases are actually under King’s pseudonym of Richard Bachman. So do they still count? Either way, writers, directors, production companies; they all can’t seem to get enough of King, which is why yet another of his stories is set to hit the big screen. And this one does have some promise to be uniquely fun. “The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon” was released in 1999.…

“He sits. He stays. He shoots. He scores.” These immortal words were transcribed on the promotional material for the 1997 film, “Air Bud.” The live-action Disney family comedy made us believe that a dog could play basketball. It was the kind of film that only the ’90s really could have generated in theaters and ultimately resulted in a direct to video franchise that produced more films than you probably would’ve guessed. But what was once old is new again, and Air Budis going to be returning to the big screen in the upcoming, appropriately named film, “Air Bud Returns.” Cineverse…

Few people can lay claim to the successful run of animated features that Chris Sanders has had. After co-directing and co-writing the original “Lilo & Stitch” in 2002, he would go on to do the same with 2010’s “How to Train Your Dragon,” and write and direct “The Wild Robot” in 2024. He’s also the voice of Stitch, a role he reprised in the live-action remake that has grossed over a billion dollars since it premiered in May. Now, he’s in talks to write the sequel to the hit live-action film. Never one to leave money on the table these…

There’s an old phrase in acting that goes, “Dying is easy, comedy is hard.” As with many quotes, the origin of it is hard to pinpoint, but the meaning of it holds very true. Being funny, especially to a large audience, is a challenge; perhaps it’s one of the reasons why there are fewer comedy films today than there were in the 90s and ’00s. We’re not talking about films with comedic elements like “Deadpool & Wolverine,” either, we mean just straight up, pure comedies. They’re a dying breed. You know who knows that? Liam Neeson. And he’s imploring you…

Barbie has been a cultural icon for decades. Greta Gerwig’s 2023 theatrical take on the doll busted the box office wide open. After success like that, where does one go? A sequel? Sure, but not yet. Toy line? Already got that; it’s the reason there’s a movie to begin with. It would seem Mattel is still eager to capitalize on the franchise’s theatrical popularity by developing an animated Barbie feature for theatrical release. Barbie is no stranger to animated films. Most were direct to video releases; can’t even begin to list how many there are, especially if you count in…

It’s almost like something out of a bad romantic comedy; a couple goes out to a concert and ends up getting featured on a kiss cam embracing each other. If only it weren’t for the fact that the couple is having an affair it would be romantic! So, the couple immediately tries to hide as quickly as possible but it’s already too late. It’s not a rom-com though, it’s what actually happened after a Coldplay concert Wednesday night and the fallout from it has been swift. Even swifter though to an almost astounding degree, is how the internet marketplace has…

One of the upcoming projects we’ve been looking forward to at Nerdbot is the Peacock series “Crystal Lake.” We do love us some “Friday the 13th” and it’s been far too long since we’ve had the opportunity to dive into the murky waters of Camp Crystal Lake. So, when a series was announced that was set to focus on Pamela Voorhees, the film’s original villain, it seemed like a promising premise. It did leave us wondering how much of a role, if any, her beloved son Jason would have in the story though. While we still don’t know for sure…

Never underestimate the allure of dinosaurs. Despite being extinct for hundreds of millions of years, these enigmatic creatures continue to captivate generations of children and adults the world over. They’re the reason why “Jurassic Park” exists let alone why the franchise keeps pumping out movies that draw in audiences time after time. The fascination with them extends to the scientific community as well, which is partly why a recent fossilized skeleton of a ceratosaurus just sold for over $30 million at auction. The ceratosaurus may not be as big of a name as the tyrannosaurus rex, but then again it’s…

“By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!” Those immortal words have buried their way into the hearts and minds of many a child who grew up in the ’80s and early ’90s. “Captain Planet and the Planeteers” inspired a generation to help protect the planet against the evils of pollution, looting, and plundering. It also had a catchy as all hell theme song that is probably already going through your head. It’s been almost 30 years since the last new episode of The cartoon aired, but thanks to Netflix we may be getting some live-action planet saving in our…
