Scream VII is making money but has it become the new Fast and Furious? Money makers that keep getting worse? Maybe it’s time to hang up on the Scream franchise, and John is a die-hard fan of the original. We also discuss the trailers for Toy Story 5, The Backrooms, and Lacey’s take on the new Pride & Prejudice. Plus we debut a new segment, The Best of the Best! This time we’re each giving our top 3 opening scenes in movie history! 

Mondays are for the Nerds! Thanks for having fun with us and we hope you enjoy the podcast!

The Muppet Show revival was great except one major problem, Kermit sounds nothing like Kermit! We discuss that and more including big Severance news, Mummy 4 details, and a lead Stranger Things actor calling fan conspiracies “dumb.” We even get into the drama surrounding Canada cheating in Curling at the Olympics!

We chat about the big trailers and spots from the Super Bowl led by Project Hail Mary, which we are both super-hyped for. John is all-in on Fincher/Tarantino’s The Adventures of Cliff Booth, and Lacey thinks we might be getting vintage Spielberg with Disclosure Day. Plus, can Disney recapture the awesomeness of Pirates of the Caribbean and the Curse of the Black Pearl? It will take a top billing from Johnny Depp, but that’s just the start. And Matthew Modine (aka Dr Brenner from Stranger Things) was very candid about his dislike for how the show ended. Drama in the upside down! 

We also run through what else we’re watching including the Super Bowl, Lacey watched the Puppy Bowl, and John reviews The Housemaid and its ONE redeeming quality. That and more fun!

The upcoming DCU Batman movie has its writer, and shocker, some fans are concerned! We discuss the new Caped Crusader scribe and more, including JJ Abrams returning in a big way, Sinners breaking records, and Blake Lively’s sophomoric and awkward email to Ben Affleck. We also run through what we’re watching and more fun!

A pretty chill episode, no segments, no trailers, just a look back on a wild 2025 full of crazy pop culture moments and phenomenons, including Kpop Demon Hunters and DC beating Marvel for the first time since 2008! 

We also celebrate how much Nerdy & Nice has grown this year thanks to YOU! We close out looking ahead to a nerdier, nicer, and bigger year ahead, because 2026 is for the NERDS! 

And for those wondering, our spoiler review of the end of Stranger Things will happen on our next episode! 

The DCU is firing on all cylinders, next up is Supergirl so let’s fly into its first teaser! We discuss that and more including Disney going ALL-IN on Artificial Intelligence content. What would Walt think? Plus the Hunger Games OGs are back and Russell Crowe breaks his silence on Gladiator II…he HATED it! We also run through what we’re watching and more fun!

The next James Bond has been found, unless Amazon has other ideas. Scarlett Johansson is in everything, is involuntarily ScarJo fatigue setting in? Macaulay Culkin’s Home Alone sequel pitch is…pretty dark, and we react to trailers including a great one for Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come, which should absolutely get rid of the 2.
