Welcome back friends.  This week we have a whole heaping mess of good nerdy news stories as well as our streaming review of “Carrie” starring Chloe Moretz and Julianne Moore.  

This remake was on both of our lists to see in theaters but we never got around to it.  Now I can’t say that I was sad that we missed it in theaters, as I don’t think it really is something you HAVE to see in theaters but It was a fun romp.  Having never seen the original, but knowing plenty about the movie, this was a lot of fun to watch.  The scenes of bulling are just as prevalent now as they were then.  And Carrie’s final telekinetic break down is a hell of a show.  With solid acting by both Moretz and Moore (fucking a was she disturbing) and some nice visuals this one garnered a solid 3 stars from Bat and 4 stars from me.  

Trying to carrie on (I did that one on purpose) the horror movie theme this month we have our next streaming review of Quarantine 2: Terminal.  This movie comes care of Bat’s wife suggesting a disease movie to go along with the horror theme.  Sadly this 2 star movie is the best we can come up with. 

This weeks Nerd News includes:  Russo Brothers to direct Avengers 3 & 4, Ironman will be in Cap 3 with possible Civil War story, HBO goes standalone in 2015, Carrie Kelly Robin in BvS, Warner Bros/DC gives their major movie lineup till 2020

If you are joining us this week after watching the streaming review selection of “Escape From Tomorrow” I am so, so sorry.  Phew as doozies go this one definitely is a stinker.  But regardless of how bad this movie is we bring you our review of Escape from Tomorrow as well as the review of “Sharknado” which is also a bad movie, but in a good way.

Continuing with our Horror theme for this month we are going to be watching the new “Carrie” movie starring Chloe Moretz and Julianne Moore.  This movies is a remake of the classic 1976 movie adaptation of Stephen Kings book, which I have neither seen or read. This movie was on our list of movies to see in the theater and seemed to slip off our radar so we are excited to finally check it out.

This weeks Nerd News includes: Marvel Experience coming to Phoenix, Lego Batman getting its own movie, Guardians of the Galaxy getting its own cartoon, Labyrinth getting a sequel, Halo Nightfall’s starting date, Crouching Tiger 2 day and date streaming with IMAX release, Dare Devil’s first costume revealed, Powers trailer and Tomorrowland trailer.

Welcome back to your regularly scheduled week in geek with Bat and Hammer.  This week we lament the problems with the Epix app on PS3 as offer up the chance for my to redo my submission for this weeks streaming review since neither of us was able to watch “The Wolf of Wall Street.”  So since it’s the wonderful month of October we will be watching “Escape From Tomorrow.”  I figure we should try and theme this months streaming suggestions in the horror genre, which Bat is all too excited about since that is all his wheel house.

This weeks Nerd News includes: Joaquin Phoenix out for Dr strange but rumors of Ethan Hawk possibly taking on the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme, Possible Shatner in Star Trek 3 and a discussion about Marvel settling out of court with the Jack Kirby estate.  We also have a Trailer Review of some of the biggest trailers that dropped recently.

 We also have another edition of Hammer’s Free Shit, Good Shit as well as answers to last weeks Podquestion of what is the scariest movie(s) you have seen.

Welcome back again for this weeks edition of SzG! We are joined this week by TK as we three dared ourselves to venture into the theater and review Kevin Smith’s new movie, Tusk. Normally we give you a spoiler free and spoiler-ific review of theatrical releases but this week we kinda dive right on in so you have been warned. Here is the episode of SModcast that the movie Tusk originated from incase you are curious.

This weeks Streaming Review is American Psycho.  I have heard so many people love this movie but I personally found it rather enjoyable.  It’s basically watching a person who live the high life slowly devolve into a mass murder.  

Next weeks streaming review is the infamous Wolf of Wall Street.  Much has been said about this movie and I’m really hoping it lives up to the hype, but saying that I imagine it won’t.  One way or another I’m hoping it will be a fun ride.

This weeks Nerd News includes: Discussions on Kevin Smith movies, Deadpool movie coming 2016 and CBS getting a Supergirl TV show.

We answer last weeks Podquestion of what was your worst Convention experience and ask our next Podquestion of what is the scariest movie(s) you have seen?
