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.
Anyone who was wondering what Amazon was going to do with their acquisition of MGM now has an idea of what’s in store. Along with the purchase of the famed movie studio came the rights to the James Bond catalogue, which is about to add a competition reality show. Action junkies and thrill seekers who want to simulate the idea of being a super spy just might have that chance now. The upcoming show, “007’s Road to a Million” has been in development for years, but will officially be entering production later in 2022. Casting has already begun with pairs…
Since its release, I’ve sank over 130 hours into “Pokémon Legends: Arceus.” When you’re 36, have a full-time job, family obligations and a life in general- this is no small feat to accomplish. Something about “Arceus” drew me in though, HARD. Having played every mainline Pokémon game to completion since the series’ inception, I feel very safe in saying that I have not had this much fun with one of the games since the DS remakes of Pokémon Gold & Silver. While there’s the obvious change of the 3D environment, being able to catch Pokémon out in the open, etc,…
Leave it to Amazon to stir up controversy in their bid to dominate all forms of media. If you thought the realm of comic books and digital comics was at least one area they didn’t have their hands in, you’d be mistaken. Amazon has been owner of Comixology, a digital comic distribution service, since 2014. Flash forward eight years later- Amazon is pushing Comixology into greater integration with the company, leading to issues that are finally being addressed. Signs that problems would be ahead emerged shortly after the Amazon purchase when options to buy through the iPad and iPhone were…
This is why we can’t have nice things. All we wanted to have was a period drama that documented the life and times of Queen Elizabeth II. So, Netflix took some antiques, made replicas of valuable items, put them all together- made some real nice sets. Then what happens? Someone comes along and steals over $200,000 worth of those props. While it’s not exactly stealing the crown jewels out of the Tower of London, it’s still a royal heist…in a manner of speaking! We’ve been following “The Crown” for quite some time, and eagerly awaiting season 5 despite the extended…
“Is that a crossbow in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?” “It’s a crossbow.” No that’s not the start of a bizarre Mae West hunting movie, it’s just an imaginary exchange that could’ve actually taken place in Florida last month. Because of all the states in the union where someone would attempt that, of course it’s a Florida man. If you’re confused or trying to imagine what someone would look like with a crossbow in their pants, good news; we’ve got photo evidence! The theft itself took place in Mims, Florida back on January 22nd, but…
Oh commercial jingles. One could easily consider them to be a lost artform or one could consider them to be a blight on humanity. There was a time where if you wanted people to remember what you were selling and buy it, you’d commission a catchy jingle for it. There are some that go back decades, like wanting to buy the world a Coke, or wanting to be a Toys ‘R Us kid, but music is a subjective thing. As catchy as those are, we wanted to look at some of the things we grew up with in the 90s…
Longtime readers of Nerdbot know that we have a predilection for “Frasier” here. I myself run a podcast about the 1993 beloved sitcom for about 5 years now. We’ve also taken nearly every opportunity to discuss anything and everything “Frasier” or Kelsey Grammer related. That being said, I did not expect to be writing an article about a convicted Australian murderer allegedly stating she was inspired by the show in order to kill her wealthy partner. Convicted murderer Natasha Beth Darcy was sentenced to 40 years in prison on Monday, February 21st, 2022 for killing Matthew Dunbar in 2017. Darcy…
The Billboard Hot 100 chart is weird. For years, unless something was technically released as a single, it wasn’t eligible for the charts. This rule means countless songs were played countless times, but never charted anywhere. Or, because of divisions between genres, some popular songs were counted on a rock or country chart without being considered on the Hot 100. In order to be considered a hit, a song has to eventually end up in the top 40 of this list; something that was popularized decades ago with the “American Top 40” countdown radio program. This has led to some…
In 2005 one of the most underrated films of the last 20 years was released entitled “Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang.” Starring Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer, this neo-noir buddy-detectives Christmas movie went very much under the radar. It also contained some of the tightest and funniest banter you’ll ever see. This is unsurprising though if you know the writer/director Shane Black, and that he’d previously written “Lethal Weapon” and “The Last Boy Scout.” Giving that dialogue to Robert Downey Jr. though was a fantastic pairing, and it’s about to happen again thanks to Prime Video. From 1962 to 2008,…
