Eat Sleep Nerd

The latest live action movie to adapt Mortal Kombat is now in theaters, but is it worth your time? In this episode, we share our spoiler-free Mortal Kombat II review. We then dive into a spoiler discussion where we discuss all of the fun video game easter eggs, MK characters, and fatalities of Mortal Kombat 2.

The Eat Sleep Nerd team was at the 2026 Huntsville Comic & Pop Culture Expo this past weekend for our hometown comic con! We kick things off with our own The Office parody before we dive into a good ol' fashion conversation.

We interviewed cosplayers, vendors, and fellow nerds. We handed out tons of swag. We had a fan table! We walked a lot of steps. And we met celebrities like Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Anson Mount (Star Trek Strange New Worlds), Amy Jo Johnson (Power Rangers, Flashpoint), and so many more. In this episode, we talk about our experience, lessons learned, what we look forward to next year, and more!

In this episode, the nerds have to answer questions and prompts without any preparation or research: what nerdy things changed our lives? Which fictional pet or companion would we want to have? What movies and video games deserve a sequel? What nerdy things do we wish we could experience again for the first time? 

And we’re joined by special guest and host of the Huntsville Comic & Pop Culture Expo, Jeremy Long!

Nearly 25 years after the Firefly television show was cancelled, Nathan Fillion and the original cast have made a surprise announcement that Firefly will return as a animated series. In this episode, we react to the Firefly animated series announcement, breakdown the details of this new show, and go over why Firefly season 2 (Firefly reboot?) may still never see the light of day.

We've all been there: we fall in love with a show, but then we get distracted or life gets in the way...and we never finish it. It gets lost to the backlog of our tv watching. In this episode of Eat Sleep Nerd, the nerds discuss the best tv shows of all time that we just never finished watching. Can you believe that we never finished Breaking Bad? Can you believe that we haven't caught up with Ted Lasso? Even shows like The Handmaid's Tale and Peaky Blinders have gone unfinished. Yellowstone, Supernatural, The Boys, Daredevil Born Again...the list goes on.

In this conversation, the nerds predict the winners of the 2026 Oscars across all categories, including Best Picture, Best Actor and Actress, Makeup and Hair Styling, Best Original Score, and the brand new Best Casting category. Will Michael B. Jordan, Ryan Coogler, and Sinners walk away the big winners of the night? Will international films Sentimental Value and The Secret Agent get the recognition they deserve? Will K Pop Demon Hunters win over Zootopia 2 for Best Animated Feature? Will Leonardo Dicaprio's One Battle After Another take home any awards?

We discuss that and so much more as we predict the winners for the 98th Annual Academy Awards 2026. How many of the 2026 Oscars predictions will we get correct (and how many will we get wrong?)

A few weeks ago, we shared our review of the first episode of Star Trek Starfleet Academy where we discussed how pleasantly surprised we were that we enjoyed it. And boy...the Youtube comment section disagreed. We received TONS of mean and negative comments. In this video, we react to the comments, share our thoughts on Star Trek fans and the state of the Star Trek franchise as a whole, debate if Star Trek is woke, and more.

A lot of fans assumed that we were paid to leave a positive review of Starfleet Academy, but sadly, we're just not that cool. All opinions are honestly and truly our own, and we're left wondering why us enjoying "new woke Star Trek" invites people who disagree with us to react so negatively and mean.
