In September of last year we reported that the newly invigorated MGM+ would play host to a new Robin Hood series. The studio had some new life breathed into it after Amazon acquired the MGM name and catalog. It seemed only fitting a legendary name like MGM have some kind of legendary programing. To be fair, there are few legends more well-known than that of Robin Hood. Last month we reported that the project had found its titular hero in Jack Patton, now we can say they found their Sheriff of Nottingham. And you can start making your jokes about…

Remember when we remarked how pleasantly surprised we were that “Paddington” became a successful film series? Of all the beautiful slices of childhood reading, our money was not on that delightful little bear. And maybe it’s a sign that there’s still some joy left in humanity that “Paddington” has become box office gold. With the third film about to hit North America, Studiocanal has confirmed a 4th film is on the way. Production company Studiocanal has big plans for Its little bear. In a wide-ranging interview, Studiocanal CEO, Anna Marsh spoke about how the company was expanding. After having a…

It’s been a hot minute since we talked about “Bioshock.” The 2007 first person shooter/adventure title has cemented itself in video game history thanks to its rich atmosphere, storytelling, and lore. It was the kind of game, that if properly worked with, could have made a good movie. It’s been in development several times, but with no actual release. In 2022, Netflix revealed their plans for a live-action project. While we haven’t had any news since then, Francis Lawrence (“The Hunger Games”) confirms things are still happening. Lawrence cut his teeth as a director with 2005’s “Constantine.” And of course,…

It’s hard to believe that we’re at the 50th anniversary of “Saturday Night Live.” Very few programs in the history of television can claim to have run consecutively for so many years. Sure, there are franchises that come and go, but “SNL” has been the premier sketch comedy program, reliably being there every season. Just like with the 40th anniversary, one can expect there to be a pretty tremendous turnout in terms of guests. This anniversary proves to be no exception.  Immediately noteworthy are some of the original cast members that are coming back. It’s only fitting considering again, 50-year…

We’ve talked quite a bit about the rise and fall of Armie Hammer. He’s not the only actor to have their career come tumbling down due to allegations of assault and abuse towards women. He is however, the only one to have accusations of cannibalism thrown into the mix. It’s almost comical to think about that, and perhaps it’s easy to focus on because it feels like comedy of the absurd next to some pretty serious and depressing matters. Hammer has come back into the limelight recently by appearing on podcasts and announcing he has an upcoming film with Uwe…

Despite what Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon may encourage you to think, farming is not exactly a…COZY job. The hours are long, the labor is hard, and factors beyond your control like mother nature itself can massively impact you. The increase in egg prices has been a focal point in political discourse again, and it may have even encouraged a robbery worth $40,000. Greencastle, Pennsylvania played host to an egg theft of over 100,000 of the precious little ovals. The goods were seized from the back of a truck parked outside Pete and Gerry’s Organics. The company works with a…

When we talk about media franchises, sometimes it’s easy to forget how long certain ones have been running for. In this case, we’re thinking about “Gundam.” Anime and non-anime fans alike know the name. When it comes to mecha series, it’s the one that sets the standard by which all others are compared. And while it has seen its share of adaptations in various media, it has not yet received a live action film. That’s about to change.  On February 5th, Bandai Namco released a press statement announcing their Filmworks division is pressing forward with a live action Gundam film.…

If you’re a frequent visitor of Nerdbot, then you know there are some projects and topics that we’re especially fond of. We’ve got our fondness for NASA, Stephen King adaptations, and “Frasier.” But one of the upcoming shows we’re particularly looking forward to is Apple TV+’s adaptation of the classic cyberpunk novel, “Neuromancer.” The William Gibson classic series chronicles the tale of a man named Case who is tasked by a man named Armitage to perform an elaborate heist. We already know Callum Turner is playing Case, and now we know who’s playing Armitage. Mark Strong (“Dune: Prophecy,” “The Penguin”)…

It’s interesting sometimes to see how certain programs stand the test of time. There are some shows that come and go without really leaving an impact while others have an almost evergreen quality to them. The art of television, when crafted with passion and care, can pass long from generation to generation. Such is the case apparently, with “Little House on the Prairie.” Surprisingly enough the show has gained a strong following while streaming on Peacock. That interest has been enough to trigger Netflix to order a reboot. The origins of “Little House on the Prairie” date back to the…

Viral images have a way of shaping people’s perception of things even in the face of other information. A narrative can easily form without context or other details that would help explain things in a different situation. The internet also creates room for rampant speculation when something spreads so quickly. So, when Google Earth images started floating around of the word “HELP” written in the ground of a vacant lot in LA, things escalated pretty quickly. Local police did go to that location to see what was going on. There was nothing suspicious, and no evidence of criminal activity. (And…
