There are some of us here at Nerdbot who are massive fans of Kate Bush. Maybe you saw a piece urging readers to check out more of her work. Bush’s widely regarded biggest hit “Running Up That Hill (Deal With God)” plays an important part in season 4 of “Stranger Things.” The Duffer Brothers being granted permission to use the song- a rarity for Bush- has caused it to suddenly top the charts! This is especially noteworthy in America, where her prowess never quite resonated. But you know who else has become aware of Bush’s surge in popularity? Kate Bush…

Our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is officially 60 years old. On June 5th 1962, the wall-crawler debuted in Amazing Fantasy #15, and the rest is history. Spider-Man is easily one of the most well-known and profitable characters from comics. This is evidenced by the box office grosses of virtually any Spider-Man film. You have the toys, video games, multiple animated series, comics, and other avenues I’m probably forgetting to mention. So with all that being said, how do you celebrate the 60th birthday of a beloved icon? When I think of Spider-Man, I reflect back to the 1994 animated series. [Editor’s…

Following a number of delays, Sony Pictures finally released “Morbius” in theaters April 1st, 2022. Maybe that date should’ve been our first indicator of things to come. This Marvel Comics origin story for the scientifically created “vampire” garnered a 17% critics score from Rotten Tomatoes. It managed to drum up about $163 million at the worldwide box office during it’s initial run. But then came the memes. Suddenly, it was constantly Morbin’ Time. A Morbius Sweep went across the country. Then yesterday, Sony rereleased the film theatrically, only to see it bomb again. How badly did “Morbius” bomb this time?…

A Florida disc golf corse was the site of a gristly death, that may have been caused by a resident of the lake- an alligator.

In 1990, one of the freshest and most entertaining horror films in modern history hit theaters: “Arachnophobia.” Directed by Frank Marshall from a script by Dan Jakoby and Wesley Strick, the movie effortlessly blended elements of actual terror with a B-movie plot and clever humor. The use of actual spiders helped the film’s title live up to its name, and it still holds up 32 years later. But three decades later, the film is set to receive a remake from Amblin. The news today is that horror creator Christopher Landon has been set to write and direct the remake. Earlier…

Movies and television have a long history of rejuvenating interests in songs as well as the bands and artists who performed them. One of the most famous examples of this is the resurgence in popularity that Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin'” received after being used in the final scene of “The Sopranos.” A similar situation is happening with Kate Bush and her 1985 single “Running Up That Hill (Deal With God)” thanks to its appearance in the 4th season of Netflix’s “Stranger Things.” We will not be going into details about how and where this song was used within the context…

Sony has kicked off their June 2022 edition of PlayStation State of Play. First up is something expected but awesome. “Resident Evil 4” remake is coming! The popular title is expected to hit on March 24th, 2023! The previous two “REmakes” took some liberties with the original versions of “Resident Evil 2” and “Resident Evil 3” with the former being well-received for it, and the latter, less so. Those familiar with the original “RE4” will definitely notice some changes to the story elements and the trailer seemingly puts a bit more emphasis on Leon’s backstory before heading out on his…

Since the evolution of COVID-19 into a global pandemic, various supply chain issues and lack of product have happened. We’re not too far removed from the Great Toilet Paper Crisis of 2020. Granted, while part of that problem was caused by supply chain issues, a large part was hysteria created by hoarding. At one point, there were even reports of a ketchup packet shortage, which never materialized into a real issue. So, what do we make of recent reports about a movie theater popcorn shortage? The report on a potential popcorn shortage comes from The Wall Street Journal. Primarily based…

He’s the man who gave us “Goosebumps” in both the physical and literary sense. He also helped bring the world the children’s show “Eureka’s Castle” alongside other chilling series like “Fear Street,” and “The Nightmare Room.” He is the one and only R.L. Stine.Even though the original run of “Goosebumps” books ended back in 1997, the series has had spin-offs. Stine has continued writing with a staggering level of output. We know what his next writing project is, what it’s called, and when we’ll be able to get our hands on it. The pun-based title is fittingly called “Stinetinglers.” Get…
