The Salty Nerd Podcast

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire released over Easter Weekend and destroyed the box office worse than Rio De Janeiro. In this episode the Nerds talk about the latest Monsterverse film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, as well as a spoiler discussion for the full season of Netflix's 3 Body Problem. Kadish also shares some true Hollywood stories about 3 Body problem and Godzilla, and the crew talk...

Hey Nerds! Come and join the gang in this episode as they talk about a LOT of new releases! The Salty crew will be reviewing Ghostbusters Frozen Empire, the remake of Road House on Amazon, and the first half of the 3 Body Problem series on Netflix. Should be a good time! Come and join us in the discussion over on our Discord here: http://saltynerddiscord.com

The Salty Nerds welcome Astrophysicist Doctor Thomas Targett to the studio to talk about the upcoming Netflix series from Dan Benioff and DB Wiess (the idiots who ruined Game of Thrones), the 3 Body Problem. We're also going to be looking at the questionable science of the 2003 movie The Core, the Amazon series Fallout, news about Deathstalker getting rebooted, and more!

This episode of the Podcast, the Nerds are going to be talking about the odd "Starship Troopers Discourse" meta related to the release of the new videogame Helldivers 2. Jude also leads them down the crazy "Who The F*** Did I Marry?" rabbit hole from TikTok, Sweet Baby Inc. might not be able to destroy video games anymore, and Mark Cuban can't win a fight on X. All this and...

In this episode of the Salty Nerd Podcast, the Nerds compare and contrast the SyFy Dune Miniseries to the Villeneuve Dune movies, talk about the ongoing Love Is Blind megadrama, discuss the failed Game Of Thrones plans for a movie trilogy, and talk about how in the world Rachel Zegler beat out Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves for the Best Action Star Golden Globe. If you like our show, check us out on...

The Nerds debate over which version of DUNE is better - David Lynch's version from the 80s, or Denis Villeneuve's version. They also talk about their favorite show WARRIOR coming to Netflix, the Netflix version of Avatar The Last Airbender, the casting of the Fantastic Four Movie, Game of Thrones getting yet ANOTHER spin-off, and the worst show ever made, INVASION, getting a season 3. If y...

Howdy Nerds! Sorry for the lack of posting lately, we've been trying to figure out our new format. In this episode we talk about avant-garde filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky and his early attempt to be the first to adapt Dune to the big screen. It's a crazy tale, and the Nerds have a lot to say about it! We also talk about the feud between Kanye West and the Osbournes, the bizarre true stori...

20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (1954) Movie Review: The Salty Nerds dive into this classic story based on the novel by Jules Verne and produced by the legendary Walt Disney. Starring Kirk Douglas and James Mason, this "retro" movie takes you on an underwater adventure that actually heavily inspired the Pirates of the Caribbean films, oddly enough. What is your 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea...

The Nerds talk about the most romantic movie ever - The Wedding Singer, starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore from 1998.  Oh, and they also celebrate the marriage of Jude and Kadish!  Huzzah!

Viva Las Vegas (1964) Movie Review: The Salty Nerds experience the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas in 1964 in this film about a race car driver preparing for the Grand Prix while working as a waiter to pay for his new engine. Elvis Presley stars as this waiter who strikes up a whirlwind romance with a gorgeous young woman, played by Ann-Margret, who can do WAY better than a broke waiter. This movie...

Just when you thought Season 2 of AppleTV's Invasion couldn't get any worse, we get the season finale, which is boring, confusing, AND has nothing happen... again. One of the dumb AF finales we've ever seen. God, we hope this doesn't get a season 3! Joining us to share our misery is Smitty's Snippets! Check out his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@smittyssnippets1358

It's the second to last episode of Invasion Season 2, and nothing happens. It's also the shortest episode. And it's very, very dumb. This is not how you do a Penultimate episode. The episode name is "Breakthrough" but the only thing the Salty Nerds want to break through is a brick wall with their heads because this show is such a pain to watch! Go F-yourself, show. Get Exclus...

The Cat was in on it.

The Nerds talk about The Shining (1980) and how this beloved horror classic may actually be a bloated, pretentious, overrated, piece of trash. The table is definitely divided over what Kadish calls Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece. And though Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall deliver amazing performances, that's not enough for Alex and Vader like this movie. What do you think of this adaptati...

Trevante's brilliant plan is revealed, and he's STILL upset he's thrown in jail.  Casper's crew finds the seizure kids and start drawing stuff.  Monty is quickly becoming the best character in the show, and Indian Elon Musk mans up to blast aliens with magnets.  Oh, and Mitsuki gets a magic wand and figures out what the alien language sounds like! Yes, 8 episodes have lead to... no...

The Salty Nerds talk about one of the most intense cave movies of all time, Neil Marshall's classic spelunking horror film - The Descent. What happens when a group of women go exploring a cave? Why, shenanigans, of course! And lots of creepy cave demons! But who is the real villain in this movie? Hint: It's not the cave demons! What is your The Descent Review? Did you love it? Hate it? Why...

The Nerds review another episode of AppleTV's Invasion. And guess what? Nothing happens. Again. Well, stuff happens, but none of it really matters. Yes, this is the SEVENTH episode of nothing happening. Riveting TV, is it not? Aneesha is still the worst mother ever, and she's terrible to everyone. In fact, she's now resorting to torture! Harvard educated torture, apparently. The Casper...

Invasion Season 2 Episode 5 entitled "Pressure Points" is actually all about torturing the audience with three very stupid and boring story arcs rather than applying pressure to anything important. Discount Zendaya and the Casper Crew make it to Paris, stay in Monty's dad's swingin' sex dungeon apartment, and finally find Casper. Aneesha gets in a car wreck, rescues a stupid...

The Salty Nerds revisit SCREAM (1996), the movie that revitalized the wanning Slasher genre of horror films, mixing in meta-awareness with tried-and-true horror tropes, and a healthy dose of Agatha Christie-style "whodunit" mystery. However, not ALL the Salty Nerds feel the same way about this movie that kicked off the SCREAM franchise, which stars Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arqu...

What happens when you get a bunch of aging action stars and MMA fighters together?  You get The Expendables, of course!  Who doesn't want to see your favorite action movie icons from the 80s and 90s team up with MMA fighters and new action icons to whoop some butt? The Salty Nerds debate the merits of this "Ageing action" film, written and directed by Sylvester Stallone himself, and...

Just when you thought this show couldn't get more boring, Episode 5 of Season 2, entitled "A Voice From The Other Side" drops. And guess what? Nothing happens the entire episode. You might as well skip this one for as little the plot progresses. Luckily, the Salty Nerds watched it so you don't have to! And they explain how nothing happens in long, drawn-out, excruciating detail....

Before his exile to direct-to-video releases, Steven Seagal used to be a movie star! And his movies were actually released in theaters. The Salty Nerds review The Glimmer Man from 1996, the last theatrical release for everyone's favorite pony tailed tough guy, Steven Seagal. In a buddy cop movie with Keenen Ivory Wayans, a Buddhist pacifist cop is on a quest to catch a serial killer, but his p...

How do you follow-up an episode that ends with shooting seven alien spaceships out of the sky with nukes? With an hour of pre-teens walking through a tunnel, of course! Episode 4 of Invasion Season 2 is called The Tunnel. Because it all happens in a tunnel. The Casper Crew make it to the Chunnel and break in, somehow trekking all 31 miles of the Chunnel in record time while being hounded by new an...

The Salty Nerds talk about the Sylvester Stallone classic Over The Top (1987). A film about a man and his son who like to drive big rig trucks and break arms arm-wrestling. When his ex-wife is in the hospital, truck driver Lincoln Hawk decides to pick up his estranged son from military school and try to reconnect after years of not caring. But jealous grandpa Robert Loggia isn't having any of...

This was supposed to be a big, epic episode in season 2 of Invasion where humanity fights back against the aliens, but it's pretty obvious the show just didn't have the budget for it. We get three storylines in this episode, called FIREWORKS, following Aneesha, Mitsuki, and Trevante. Unfortunately, only one of them is kind-of interesting, and it's painfully clear the writers of this sh...
