Eat Sleep Nerd

July 2025 is going to be a big month for blockbuster movies. 3 major franchises are returning to theaters, and all 3 of them have something to prove: Jurassic World Rebirth, Superman, and Fantastic Four First Steps. All 3 franchises have gone through multiple reboots to varying levels of success; so do we think any of them have a good shot of returning to former glory this time around?

In this episode, we take a look at what we know about these 3 July 2025 movies, and then we make some predictions on how they'll fare with the box office, with critics, and with the audience.

A lot of movies have made over $1 billion at the worldwide box office, but how many of them deserve to be listed amongst the best films of all time? Using the S to D Tiermaker scale, we rank the Top 50 highest-grossing movies of all time based on how good of a movie we think it is.

Is Avatar actually an S Tier movie? Is Fast & Furious 7 already the way down in D tier? And where do all of the Star Wars films rank?

In this conversation, the hosts delve into a variety of blockbuster films, discussing their box office performances, cultural impact, and personal opinions. From the highs of Spider-Man and Titanic to the lows of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Transformers: Age of Extinction, the discussion covers a wide range of cinematic experiences.

In this episode of Eat Sleep Nerd, the nerds compete in a trivia game called JeoNerdy, a Star Trek Jeopardy style trivia game. 

The game is structured similarly to Jeopardy, with different point values and categories, covering all areas of Star Trek trivia: Star Trek captains, Star Trek ships, Star Trek culture, and more!
