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

It’s one of the Watch-men’s least anticipated movies of the year. It’s Justice League. With the success of Wonder Woman behind them, Matt, Sam, Joyce, and Reg hoped DC could get their act together for this superhero team-up flick, but realistically expected the worst because, you know… Zack Snyder. After watching the movie one thing is clear: the only petition the Watch-men want to sign is one which gives Patty Jenkins control of as many DC movies as possible. (Here’s to Zack Snyder moving on to make that Star Wars Seven Samurai Jedi movie instead of Justice League 2).

Murder, masterful acting and a Movember mustache for the ages await the Watch-men aboard Murder on the Orient Express. Kenneth Branagh helms this retelling of Agatha Christie’s classic mystery story, but do his Shakespearean tendencies play nicer with Poirot than they did with Thor? Join Matt, Sam and Joyce as they put on their finest formal wear and head to the dining car… err, the recording studio, to search for clues and present their theories!

With Thor: Ragnarok, Marvel ditches the serious, Shakespearean feel of the first two films and instead goes for something much more… Goldblum-y. Now it’s up to Sam, Matt and Joyce to decide if the switch was a success and if Kiwi comedy director Taika Waititi was able to match the awesomeness of that first teaser trailer.

Sci-fi, sequels and the 1980s, what more could The Watch-men want? Stranger Things 2 dropped this Friday but before you binge let Sam, Matt and Joyce remind you what happened in the first go around in the upside down.

Do you have an inexplicable craving for a promotional szechwan dipping sauce you’re too young to have ever tried? Are you cursed to be waaaay smarter than all your friends and family?

We’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. The neon lights and Chinese noodle shops of Los Angeles in 2019. We watched a tinfoil unicorn glitter in the dark and realized Deckard is probably a replicant.
