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.

So you know how people talk about how they remember the days where MTV still played music? Well, it still does… kind of, in different places. Or at least it used to. We all know Paramount- now Skydance Paramount- has been gutting content for years now and it’s getting substantially worse. A large part of MTV is shutting down in the UK and it can’t be a good sign of things to come. Just like how the United States has MTV, MTV 2, and the lesser known MTV Classic, the UK also has several of them. There’s MTV Music, MTV…

On December 28th, 2025, the world said adieu to actress, singer, and model Brigitte Bardot. Among her many achievements (not all good), was being included in Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire.” The 1989 number one hit name checks a series of people and events from 1949 to 1989. With Bardot’s passing, only three of the named individuals are still alive. But did you also know there was a point where everyone on the list existed simultaneously? Incidentally, Joel was born in 1949, so the song is actually kind of like “Quantum Leap” in how it spans time. If…

In 2014, the world was treated to one of the greatest animated series in decades, if not the history of the medium. “Over the Garden Wall” was 10 episodes of wonder, fantasy, brotherhood, and adventure which left a lasting impact on the world of animation. With each episode being only around 10 to 11 minutes, it showcased what short form storytelling can do and has been one of those very rare pieces of media to not receive unnecessary follow-ups or sequels. If you haven’t seen it yet, you may want to wait until this spring when you can finally have…

It is with a heavy heart that we have to report the passing of yet another person who has contributed to the entertainment and enjoyment of millions. Vince Zampella may not be a name you immediately recognize, but you know some of the products that he’s helped to create. Zampella was the co-founder of Infinity Ward and later, Respawn Entertainment. It’s partly because of him we have “Call of Duty,” and more recently, “Apex Legends” and “Star Wars: Jedi” series. On December 21st, Zampella was driving a 2026 Ferrari 296 GTS that lost control and slammed into a concrete barrier…

Epic films are not easy to make. They’re even harder to do when you don’t have a company that wants to bankroll or it or one to distribute it. If you don’t believe us, just ask Francis Ford Coppola. The amount of money and effort he put into “Megalopolis.” He had to finance the film himself, and struggled to find a distributor but at least he got the entirety of his vision out the door. The same can’t be said for Kevin Costner who is still struggling to get his “Horizon” films out to the masses. On top of numerous…

“Saturday Night Live” has celebrated its landmark 50th anniversary. The resulting special featured a lot of guest appearances from performers past, and many predicted a shift going into Season 51. They weren’t wrong. This year has seen the largest cast exodus since 2022 when we said goodbye to heavyweight performers like Kate McKinnon, Pete Davidson, Aidy Bryan, and Kyle Mooney. We thought the cast departures were done for 2025 into 2026, but Bowen Yang has proven us wrong. Yang’s departure echoes that of Cecily Strong in 2022. Her leaving came as a surprise to viewers when she announced it during…

In early 2024, Luc Besson (“The Fifth Element,” “Lucy”) revealed he was bringing Dracula back to the big screen in “Dracula: A Love Story.” Flash forward almost one year and one “Nosferatu” later, we have a trailer, a release date, and two-time Oscar winner Christoph Waltz in the lead. The timing of this film seems pretty impeccable. Robert Eggers scored a sizable hit with “Nosferatu,” which debuted in theaters Christmas 2024. The complicated history over the alleged plagiarism of Bram Stoker’s novel by the original 1922 film “Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror” has long since passed thanks to things lapsing…

Romania isn’t a country that’s well known for tourism. When the average tourist thinks of traveling through Europe, you hear stories of seeing the Eifel Tower in France, the street of Venice, or perhaps the Acropolis in Greece. Romania, while a beautiful country, doesn’t usually receive the same recognition. Not unless you’re a massive fan of vampires, since Dracula’s Castle was famously located in the Transylvanian region of the country. Some prospective amusement park developers have realized this, and are hoping to cash in with Dracula Land. Dracula Land wants to go ALL-IN on every single possible thing, all at…

The film industry is a world of highs and lows. Sometimes you’re cruising and releasing hit after hit, other times you have a surprising dud that turns a surefire franchise into yesterday’s news. Right now, Universal is staring at the latter of these two situations in the aftermath of “M3GAN 2.0” and the spin-off film that was slated for release. Now there’s been a shake-up that’s unique even in these tumultuous Hollywood days. When “M3GAN” hit theaters in 2022, the film was a surprisingly strong success for Blumhouse, Atomic Monster, and Universal Pictures. The horror/comedy took home over $180 million…

Devastating news last night that acclaimed actor and director Rob Reiner was murdered alongside his wife, Michelle Singer Reiner. There are no words to properly convey how tragic the situation is. Details are still emerging, but Rob and Michelle’s son Nick Reiner has been arrested for murder. Reports indicate the couple’s daughter Romy is who found them, and called 911. This horrible situation hasn’t stopped some people from distorting the narrative surrounding these horrific events. One of the people doing so is convicted felon and current president of the United States, Donald Trump. Among the many things Rob Reiner was…
