The Nerd Alert gang discusses the film’s creepy atmosphere, practical effects, bizarre concepts, and how it helped define Cronenberg’s unique filmmaking style. Does Scanners still hold up over 40 years later? And is it more than just “the exploding head movie”? The crew breaks it all down.

For April, the Nerd Alert crew takes a deep dive into Man on the Moon (1999), directed by Miloš Forman and starring Jim Carrey, Danny DeVito, and Paul Giamatti. This unique biopic explores the life and career of legendary comedian Andy Kaufman, capturing his unpredictable humor, performance art, and the mystery that made him one of the most fascinating entertainers of all time.

Each month, Brandon, Jimmy, James, and Chase pick a film to watch and then sit down to break it all down - what works, what doesn’t, and why the movie still matters (or doesn’t) today. For February, the crew dives into the bizarre and unforgettable 1974 cult sci-fi classic Zardoz, written and directed by John Boorman and starring Sean Connery, and Charlotte Rampling.
