Is there a neuralizer to make us forget how old we’re feeling? July of 2022 is going to mark 25 years since the release of the surprise blockbuster film, “Men in Black.” It’s hard to believe its been two-and-a-half decades since the movie hit theaters but also hard to remember a world without the film, given how ingrained into pop-culture its become. So in the lead-up to its anniversary, let’s take a quick look at the franchise and what to expect this July. (Like the 4K release you can pre-order now!) You’d be forgiven if you didn’t know that “Men…

The recent news about Bruce Willis stepping away from acting due to ongoing health issues has not been easy to take. While we’re still brokenhearted about it, one of the ways we’ve been trying to cope with it has been to look at Willis’ career and highlighting some of his performances that don’t get enough attention. Sure, he’ll always be remembered as John McClane in the “Die Hard” series, and Butch in “Pulp Fiction,” but when you’ve had a career as extensive as his, it’s easy to forget how great he was outside of those roles. So let’s go back…

In April 2022, “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe” will be celebrating its 5th anniversary. Despite originally releasing back on the Wii U in 2014, the game has seen new life recently thanks to Nintendo introducing more courses to the Switch version via DLC. What does that mean for hope of a brand new Kart experience in the future? Who knows, but for the time being, we can look back at the series as a whole and rank the titles in terms of their overall quality. Before we go into the ranking though, there’s a couple stipulations to put in place. The…

All of us at Nerdbot feel a sense of sorrow today as we’ve come to find out that Bruce Willis is stepping away from acting. We make it a point here not to report on baseless rumors, especially when they pertain to a person’s private life, but there had been rumblings for some time that Willis was experiencing some sort of health problems. There was speculation that one of the reasons he was taking on so many films in limited roles was to try and keep his mind and body active. This could explain why he was in seven movies…

Operation is a classic board game that is a nightmare if you have shaky hands and hate sudden loud noises. If you ask me, it’s the single most terrifying children’s game ever committed to a board. Despite the fact that it’s not intended to be scary, the idea of operating on a patient is scary enough in its own right; good thing the game doesn’t include malpractice lawsuits. But if you want even more of a challenge, and want to take the game on the go, Hasbro has you covered! Behold the world’s smallest, official version of Operation. Coming in…

Sometimes at Nerdbot, we like to bring you articles about weird products that you might want to own legitimately, or purchase as a kind of gag gift. For example, last year we discussed a shower faucet fixture in the shape of a pair of lips. We also did a piece about how Revolution makeup was teaming up with Post Cereals for a line of cosmetics that was inspired by Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles. Given all this, I wasn’t entirely unsurprised when the idea of discussing a cat brush, shaped like a tongue and designed to be held in your…

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…
