Derrick Murray is a Los Angeles based stand up comedian, writer, and co-host for The Jack of All Nerds Show.
The long and short of it is “Ewoks: Battle for Endor” may be dated and pretty damn silly, heavily geared towards the children of its time, but for all its faults it is actually really well done from a technical standpoint. “Ewoks: Battle For Endor” once again proving that while Lucas may be a pretty terrible story teller, he is and has always been at the forefront of technology.
“Twister” is damn good fun, wholly defined by the era it exists in. Damn near perfect escape from life, which is what film is all about.
If you’ll recall, we ran a story about a wonderful “Sweet Child O’ Mine” parody cover titled “Green Child O’ Mine,” by the Merkins on YouTube. It was the best combination of Star Wars, Baby Yoda, and Guns’N’Roses, paired perfectly with a decked out full on band of Mandalorians. Nerdbot recently got a chance to sit down and talk with the musicians behind the song, The LA Maybe. At the time of the write up for the video, I was unaware that it was actually a collaboration of the two bands, with the Merkins providing the lyrics, and The LA…

It’s legitimately hard not to root for a guy like Fraser, an actor with a calm, reserved demeanor and an incredible, captivating presence on screen. A long time champion of Fraser’s work, I wanted to take a look at the long list of lesser known appearances and films in…
