NFL playoffs! Go Rams! Go Eagles! (we're biased) 

As always, there's nerd news aplenty! Real life Bond villain Mads Mikkelsen stars in Netflix's Polar, another film about a hitman.. woo... Another podcast, another Captain Marvel segment! There's a new trailer, so there are new opinions! The Venom sequel gets greenlit, and we're stuck at a yellow light about it! All this news and more! 

The main course this time around revolves around two polar opposites - a Netflix pop culture phenomenon and a box office flop that's a cult success... Of course we're talking about Bird Box & Bad Times at the El Royale! Unfortunately we saw Bird Box, but surprisingly we didn't hate it as much as we thought we would! Sandra Bullock -1, Pop! Pop! - 0. On the flip side of this coin, Bad Times premiered in October of last year and we finally just saw it! We love writer/director Drew Goddard, and. We. Love. This. Movie. So. Damn. Much! Tune in to find out why!
