Though we love our "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" here at Nerd Rage: TGD, sometimes you like to watch something a little more cerebral, a little more heady when it comes to sci-fi -- enter director, Alex Garland, and two of his most recent cinematic gems! Will "Ex Machina" prove to be a well-oiled machine, or will "Annihilation" consider losing an alien concept? If you're still watching YouTube videos explaining these movies, then it's definitely time to RAGE!

Catch "Nerd Rage: LIVE" at the Oakland Comedy Festival, October 16th-20th!
