Step into the Nerd Alert Movie Club!


🎬 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.


From its wild post-apocalyptic world and philosophical themes to that legendary costume that has baffled audiences for decades, the Nerd Alert crew explores how this strange sci-fi experiment became one of the most talked-about cult films of the 1970s. Is it misunderstood brilliance or just gloriously weird?


🤯 Join the conversation as the Nerd Alert team discusses the film’s legacy, its place in sci-fi history, and whether Zardoz deserves its cult status.
