In this Nerdy Note, BK breaks down the legendary Yoda vs Dooku duel from Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, exploring how the fight was brought to life behind the scenes.

Drawing directly from Light & Magic on Disney+, this episode looks at how ILM animation director Rob Coleman, Ahmed Best, George Lucas, and lead animator Tim Harrington used inspiration from 1980s anime, Bruce Lee films, Jet Li’s The Swordsman II, and classic westerns to shape Yoda’s movement and fighting style.

If you enjoy Star Wars behind-the-scenes, animation history, or film craft breakdowns, this Nerdy Note is for you.

In Black Widow | Nerdy Review EP #97, I revisit Marvel’s Black Widow (2021) as part of my ongoing Blu-ray rewatch series, breaking down the action, character development, and behind-the-scenes filmmaking that still holds up today.

I discuss Natasha Romanoff’s story, Florence Pugh’s standout performance as Yelena, and why this film may have landed even harder if it had released before Infinity War and Endgame.

I also highlight the importance of second unit director Darren Prescott, large-scale action set pieces, and the Red Room choreography

If you enjoy nerdy film analysis, MCU discussions, Blu-ray rewatches, and behind-the-scenes storytelling, this episode is for you.

In Episode 95, I share my Nerdy Review of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway — a continuation set years after the films, now focused on the next generation (Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy).

I talk standout performances, why this show isn’t a musical, the time-jumping story, and the mind-blowing stage magic (wand battles, floating moments, eerie Dementor effects, and seamless stagehand choreography). If you love theater craft and behind-the-scenes breakdowns, this one is for you.
