Three episodes into Ted Lasso Season 4, and I think “Richmond’s Got Talent” is the episode where I’m finally starting to see the pieces coming together. That doesn’t mean all my concerns have disappeared. I’m still struggling to connect with many of the new players, and there are moments when this season seems determined to make us uncomfortable rather than deliver the warm fuzzies we’ve come to expect from Ted Lasso.

I went into HBO's Lanterns wanting to like it. Green Lantern is a corner of the DC Universe that has so much potential, and putting Hal Jordan and John Stewart at the center of a grounded mystery sounded like a great way to approach the material. Unfortunately, the premiere almost lost me right out of the gate. The opening flashback to 1996 worked for me. I liked the atmosphere, the mystery, and especially the first interview with Hal Jordan.

Ted Lasso Season 4, Episode 2 Recap & Review: Now THIS Feels Like Ted Lasso. We’re back in London! After last week’s premiere took its time getting Ted, and us, back into the world of AFC Richmond, Episode 2 finally feels like we’re home. And speaking of home, Ted Lasso is now living above Mae’s bar. You can’t beat that. Annette Badland returns as the wonderfully blunt and endlessly entertaining Mae, and I couldn’t be happier to see her again.

Season 4, Episode 1, appropriately titled “Home,” brings us back into the world of Ted Lasso with a slower, funnier, and, most importantly, necessary reintroduction to the characters we’ve missed. Instead of pretending the emotional journey of the first three seasons never happened, the premiere actually respects why Ted went home in the first place. And personally? I loved it.

Long before today's CGI blockbusters, The Last Starfighter captured audiences' imaginations with its groundbreaking visual effects, heartfelt story, memorable characters, and one of the greatest "ordinary kid becomes a hero" adventures ever put on screen. But does it still hold up over 40 years later?

This week on Nerd Alert, we dive into the biggest reveals from SDCC 2026, including incredible new collectibles, comic book announcements, movie trailers, and some massive Marvel casting news.

Swing into the latest episode of Nerd Alert as Brandon, Jimmy, and Chase dive deep into Spider-Man: Brand New Day! From the film's biggest surprises to its emotional moments, action sequences, character arcs, post-credit scenes, and what it all means for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, nothing is off limits.

If you've spent years with the Dutton family, Dutton Ranch initially feels exactly like the continuation you've been waiting for. Beth Dutton is still the sharpest, most ruthless force of nature on television, delivering insults and intimidation with the kind of confidence only Kelly Reilly can bring. Rip Wheeler remains the ultimate loyal cowboy—quiet, intimidating, and somehow still the emotional center of the entire franchise thanks to Cole Hauser's effortlessly commanding

This month, the Nerd Alert crew dives into one of the strangest, boldest, and most misunderstood cult musicals ever made, Shock Treatment (1981), the spiritual successor to The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

The Losers hit theaters in 2010, directed by Sylvain White from a screenplay by Peter Berg and James Vanderbilt, adapting the fantastic Vertigo comic created by Andy Diggle and Jock. While Vertigo falls under the DC umbrella, it never had the mainstream recognition of Batman or Superman, and I honestly think that worked against this movie. Audiences just weren't quite ready for comic book adaptations that weren't about superheroes, mutants, or billionaires in capes.

From Airplane! to The Naked Gun, Top Secret!, The Kentucky Fried Movie, BASEketball, and Scary Movie 3, David Zucker has helped define the modern spoof comedy and influenced generations of filmmakers and comedy fans.

If this trailer is any indication, Crystal Lake understands one very important thing: Friday the 13th was never just about Jason. It was always about the atmosphere. From the very first shot, this teaser absolutely nails that eerie summer camp vibe. The peaceful lake, the campfire stories, the fog rolling through the trees... it's the kind of setting that makes you want to grab a flashlight and immediately regret it. Instead of trying to reinvent the franchise, the trailer

Sometimes the best movie experiences happen when you know absolutely nothing. No trailer breakdowns. No spoiler-filled social media posts. No YouTube theories. Just sitting down, pressing play, and hoping for the best. That was my experience with They Will Kill You. The only thing I knew going in was that it starred Zazie Beetz, and honestly, that's all I needed. I've been a fan of hers ever since Deadpool 2, so I figured she'd make whatever this movie was at least worth watc

The Nerd Alert Movie Club returns with another cult favorite as Brandon, Jimmy, James, and Chase dive into the 1996 pulp adventure classic, The Phantom! Long before comic book movies dominated Hollywood, Billy Zane donned the purple suit and brought Lee Falk's legendary comic strip hero to the big screen. But nearly 30 years later, does The Phantom still hold up?

There was a magical period of time in the 1980s when nobody quite knew what to do with all the television channels. Cable television was still relatively new, desperately trying to justify its existence by filling twenty-four hours a day with...well...whatever they could get their hands on. HBO wasn't yet the prestige powerhouse it would become. MTV actually played music videos. The Disney Channel felt like a secret club. This week on dumb movies, Superman III.

Steven Spielberg has given us some of the most iconic movies in cinematic history. From groundbreaking blockbusters and unforgettable adventures to emotional dramas and sci-fi masterpieces, his filmography has shaped generations of movie fans. With Spielberg's latest film, Disclosure Day, arriving in theaters, the Nerd Alert crew is celebrating the legendary filmmaker with a movie trivia challenge! How many Steven Spielberg films can you identify from clues, images, and h

After an excellent premiere, The Boroughs wastes absolutely no time picking up where Episode 1 left us hanging. "The Mourning After" dives headfirst into the fallout of Jack Willard's shocking death while continuing to peel back the layers of mystery surrounding this seemingly idyllic desert retirement community. More importantly, it proves that the show's strongest asset isn't necessarily the supernatural horror lurking in the shadows—it's the fascinating collection of chara

Nerd Alert Rewind: Remo Williams - The Adventure Begins. As a kid growing up in the '80s, I swear Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins was on HBO every other day. Back then, if a movie aired more than three times on cable, it automatically became a classic. I must have watched Remo leap across rooftops and dodge bullets dozens of times before I was old enough to understand what was actually happening.

We're back talking all things movies, TV, Star Wars, Marvel, and more after catching The Mandalorian & Grogu in theaters! This episode dives into some of the biggest trailers shown before the movie, including our thoughts on: • Supergirl • Toy Story 5 • Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey We also revisit some classic films we recently caught up on, including: • The Game • Fight Club • Fletch • Shanghai Noon

There was something oddly confusing going into The Boroughs. Maybe it was just me, but I genuinely thought this was being promoted as the next big series from Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer. While they are Executive Producers here, the real creative credit belongs to creators Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, who also penned the premiere episode. I only bring this up because they deserve their deserved kudos. And honestly? I’m glad the Duffer Brothers’ names got me in the door.
