The Watch-men | A Nerdy Movie & TV Review Podcast

Sam and Joyce celebrate Jurassic Park's 25th anniversary by looking back at the most iconic moments of this dino blockbuster. How do the Jurassic Park dinosaurs still look so impressive after 25 years? Or, are we clouded by our nostalgia? Listen to your Watch-Men reviewers choose their most memorable moments, what doesn't translate in 2018 and what Sam wanted to be after watching this movie. (Hint: It's not one of the paleontologists) Hold onto your butts!

The Watch-men focus in on a few female features this week. First, Joyce fills us in on how fun Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway and co. can be with a look at Ocean's 8. Then, Sam sets his sights on a fierce, female directed splatter-fest with a review of Revenge. And lastly, everyone - including first time guest Shane - get's a chance to tear into Star Wars' fandom with look at what's happening with Kelly Marie Tran and the toxic male fans we all wish would disappear to a galaxy far, far away.

On this episode of the Watch-men podcast, Matt, Sam and Joyce look at Solo, the never asked for but still made anyways Star Wars prequel starring a kid who looks nothing like young Harrison Ford. The odds were never in favour of Disney's and Lucasfilm's latest cash grab... er I mean fun adventure movie(!) being good, but after significant reshoots, director firings and acting lessons, it's a miracle that this movie even made it to theatres. But it did! And the gang is ready to share their thoughts on how it fared, so tune in!

The Merc with a Mouth is back and joins the superhero box office domination of 2018. Did the movie work a second time around? Does it live up to the hype of its long, true-to-character, anti-marketing marketing campaign? Is it better than the original? Or, has it become tedious and predictable? Guest Maura join the Watch-Men to answer those questions, review what worked, what didn't work and discuss our favourite and least favourite parts in this irreverent anti-hero sequel.

Sam, Westworld and the '80s are all back on this episode of the Watch-men podcast!

Despite never seeing the 1984 Karate Kid, listen to find out how our hosts think the OG cast fares in this 2018 reboot. Speaking of hosts, it's Westworld check-in time! Are we lost in the show's multiple timelines? Are we sure this isn't just a new season of Lost? What do we think of Reddit's favourite fan theories? All these questions plus a few answers to come on the Watch-men podcast.

While Sam is away enjoying vacation with half the tourists thanks to Thanos, Matt and Joyce try to answer one of the most challenging questions this podcast has faced: How charming is The Rock? Is he charming enough to make a bad movie mediocre? Charming enough to make a mediocre movie good? Like gigantic beasts let loose on Chicago, we smash our way through Rampage to get to the bottom of Dwayne Johnson’s charisma

Thanks to Robert Downey Jr, we all got to see Infinity War a week in advance! Listen to Sam, Matt and Joyce break down the major plot points of the movie, what they thought of Thanos as the villain and whether or not this mega, super stuffed, super hero movie succeeded in the end.

Westworld's back with a Season 2 premiere that might be as mysterious, ultra-violent and story-hopping as Season 1. But, they're also casually starting to reveal some of its biggest mysteries. Matt, Sam and future Joyce break down some of the major moments, but it will probably get more complicated from here. It's also time for Infinity Wars! But more importantly, who won the Avengers bracket? Listen and find out.

Jim from The Office brings the Watch-men back together this week, with the gang reuniting for a review of A Quiet Place.
