The Goldbergs is preparing for its Halloween episode, and they have booked a particularly frightening guest star. Taking to Twitter to promote the special installment of the series, the show has shared a video clip featuring actress Wendi McLendon-Covey as Beverly Goldberg introducing the 80s master nightmare daddy, FREDDY KRUEGER! https://twitter.com/TheGoldbergsABC/status/1043206792740777985 Aren’t you excited?! Robert Englund is in full makeup as the infamous horror movie character! Making it all the more-headline worthy is that back in 2017, the actor expressed hesitance about reprising the role for a movie, according to this report from Cinema Blend. Another thing worthy of note is how stellar the special effects…

Variety reports that Cary Joji Fukunaga will direct the new James Bond film, the producers announced Thursday. The 25th Bond installment will begin filming in London, at Pinewood Studios, on March 4, 2019, with a worldwide release on Feb. 14, 2020, a few months after its original target date.

Video Games: we love them. Sometimes it’s so easy to get wrapped up in the excitement of the game and actual gameplay that we forget to look at those credits! But among the hard-working people who all had a hand in bringing a video game to life, few have a role that’s as important as the composer. It’s their job to suck us into the game using our sense of sound. They use music to set the mood, change ours, and take us on a subconscious adventure using music to move behind the world we see. Today on Nerdbot, we’re talking to…

The PlayStation Classic was announced earlier this week, and we can’t wait to hear what games this gorgeous little system will come stuffed with. However, new reports state that the Japanese model of the system will differ from the U.S. one. While speaking with Famitsu, SIE vice president Hiroyuki Oda confirmed that the games that come with each system will be different depending by region. He noted that Sony is taking its time in selecting the right games for each model and region, finding stuff that will appeal to certain audiences. Granted, there are some games that will no doubt find universal appeal and will be…

This is a “Nerd Voices” contributor piece from Nerdbot reader Jonathan Meisner. You can follow him on Twitter! You know that old saying, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me? I’ve written previously about 4 beloved game or cartoon franchises getting the feature film treatment, only for us fans to be fooled into thinking we were getting something great and amazing, but then we’re all given a good gut punch when we sat down and watched the film in front of us. This time around we’re going to look at 5 more adaptations that…

This is a “Nerd Voices” contribution from Nerdbot reader Aaron Russell. Aaron is a hopeless romantic who also has a Twitter . If you send him a Valentine, he just might Photoshop you a preset. You can also see his creations on his website. No, it’s not Valentine’s Day, but we’re celebrating love regardless! When you think of romance, your first thought should be: Zack Snyder’s DC movie universe. I googled “Justice League Valentines”. I wanted to get some for my kids to hand out at school, but it turned up diddly. As a kid, nothing got my heart racing more than getting…

https://youtu.be/PeS26bBeMkU Variety announced that Jordan Peele is traveling through another dimension — a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. CBS announced Thursday that Peele will serve as host and narrator of “The Twilight Zone,” the revival of the classic science-fiction anthology that he is producing with CBS Television Studios and Simon Kinberg for CBS All Access. Peele steps into the on-camera role originated by “Twilight Zone” creator Rod Serling, who introduced and provided narration for episodes of the series during its 1959-1964 run. CBS announced last year that it would revive “The Twilight Zone” for streaming service…

We all assume (or hope) that the N64 Classic is on its way. After all, it’s a piece of hardware that’s been hinted at since the success of both the NES Classic and SNES Classic Edition systems. But now it appears that Nintendo is ready to move forward on it — and possibly sooner than anyone thinks. A report on Comicbook.com shows that a new European trademark has been revealed, suggesting that, yes, the Nintendo 64 Classic is finally in the works. And you can see from the trademark that it points towards that particular console, mainly because of the controller image that’s included.…
