Nerdbot has officially predicted the future. When discussing James Gunn on our Monday night Live Stream show Nerd Talk Live, we predicted that James Gunn would soon receive offers of employment from other major studios. We were correct. According to The Hollywood Reporter, The ‘Guardians’ director has been approached by several top producers and executives dangling big film projects. James Gunn may have been fired by Walt Disney Studios from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but many in Hollywood are looking to work with the controversial filmmaker. Gunn, who was fired July 20 after past offensive tweets came to light, has been approached by several…

There may not be many of them, but fans of last year’s Power Rangers theatrical film may at last rejoice. A sequel to 2017’s Power Rangers is confirmed to be in early development as Hasbro has plans to work with a film studio to make a sequel happen.In a recent report from licensing.org, Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner told analysts about the plans they have for the Power Rangers franchise and how they want to capitalize on it as much as possible starting with a “transitional” period beginning in 2019 where Hasbro will release “new entertainment content and licensed products” into the next year. In a report from Comicbook.com, this new…

This is a “Nerd Voices” contributor piece by Corey Bowes. Corey has a YouTube Channel. You can also follow him on Twitter! For as long as there has been written language, there have been books. For as long as there has been cinema, there have been movie adaptations of books. While it can be great to see the characters and events from one’s favorite novel shown on screen, some elements just don’t translate well to cinema. This is probably why we often see certain scenes changed to make for a more compelling movie. However, Hollywood being Hollywood, the writers often…

Japanese phenomenon Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon (translated as Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon, then taken back with a “just kidding” and rebranded as Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon) is turning 25 years old this year. The original graphic novel premiered in 1992, a year before the TV show. It was a spin-off of the short-lived Codename Sailor V manga by Naoko Takeuchi. Back in 1998 when I was first getting into the show (and watching the limited DIC dub episodes on an endless loop via Cartoon Network), I looked up everything I could about Sailor Moon and its secret 3.5 undubbed seasons. I…

The Hollywood Reporter revealed that  the West Hollywood City Council had just unanimously voted to take out Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, “due to his disturbing treatment of women and other actions that do not meet the shared values of the City of West Hollywood, the region, state, and country.” It’s now revealed that Star Wars actor Mark Hamill feels the vacant space would be better suited for someone very special. In a tweet currently pinned to his Twitter profile, Hamill suggests Donald Trump’s star be replaced with one for late actress Carrie Fisher. https://twitter.com/HamillHimself/status/1026577209379569664 As wonderfully worded by the…

Variety.com confirms that Ruby Rose will be suiting up as the DC hero Batwoman for The CW. As previously announced, the character will make her CW debut in the annual crossover event between four of the network’s DC shows: “The Flash,” “Arrow,” “Legends of Tomorrow,” and “Supergirl.” The CW is also currently developing a series based around the character, whose real name is Kate Kane. Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, she soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence. But don’t call her a hero…

Alvin and the Chipmunks is a long-time pop culture phenomenon, created in 1958 by Ross Bagdasarian Sr. (better known by his stage name David Seville). He was a stage performer and singer who brilliantly realized if he recorded himself singing and played around with the pitch and speed, he could make himself sound like, what he interpreted as, singing chipmunks. After he recorded and released a wildly successful record in 1959 called Let’s All Sing with the Chipmunks (featuring the explosively popular song “Christmas, Christmas, Don’t be Late”), the merchandise demands rolled in and along with that came, you guessed…

This title alone induces the strongest nerd rage inside of me. Let me tell you a little about my relationship with The Last Man on Earth and hopefully you’ll understand where I’m coming from. You see, when FOX cancelled The Last Man on Earth and the world gave a collective shrug. Among the other shows cancelled at the time were The Mick and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, both of which generated fewer blank expressions than the news of The Last Man on Earth which was met with blank expressions and collective agreements of “Huh…I never watched it.” But you know what? I did. I watched three damn…

Last week, the news dropped that MoviePass, the movie-goers subscription service that allows consumers to see unlimited in-theater films for only $9.99 per month, is failing. The only thing more surprising that hearing the news that a service you use is failing (Toys R Us, may you rest peacefully in the depths of Valhalla) is hearing that people are actually surprised by this news.  Let’s think about this for a moment. MoviePass as a company was formed in 2011. By then, movie tickets had already surpassed $10, unless you managed to find a discount theater or got convinced to go to a free…
