Salty Nerd Reviews: Battlestar Galactica - 33 (S1E1)

Battlestar Galactica 33 review by the Salty Nerds has them looking at the premiere episode of the series and arguably, one of the show's best episodes ever.

Nerves are frayed, exhaustion is rampant, and no one knows how the Cylons are able to catch up with them after 33 minutes on the dot. This is one of Battlestar Galctica's best episod...

Greatest Of All Time Week: Galaxy Quest (1999)

Galaxy Quest movie review from the Salty Nerds has them never giving up and never surrendering!

Salty Nerd Reviews: SEE - The House Of Enlightenment (S3E5)

CHET CHET everyone! We are back at the good old House of Enlightenment for a fun little siege, all set to the dulcet tunes of Guns & Roses "Welcome To The Jungle." Sybeth is back and this time she's making all the disgruntled Witchfinders forget about the fact that she destroyed their homes and killed their families, and instead enlists them back in her service with the simple argument that "She's their queen!" Yas Queen. Yas. Then Tormada shows up at the House of Enlightenment to get his bom...

Salty Nerd Reviews: SEE - The Storm (S3E4)

SEE Season 3 Episode 4 has people smearing poop on their face in an odd trend this season, but whatever, the Salty Nerds are here for it.

Recall Week: Total Recall (2012)

Total Recall 2012 movie review is mostly the Salty Nerds talking about how many times they fell asleep while watching this extremely boring action movie.

Dick short story We Can Remember It For You Wholesale, Total Recall marks the only collaboration between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Paul Verhoeven, and it's glorious to behold.

Salty Nerd Reviews: Buck Rogers In The 25th Century - Space Vampire (S1E14)

Buck Rogers In The 25th Century Space Vampire Review has the Salty Nerds marveling over how goofy the Vorvon villain is, and wondering why the show just didn't call him the "Unibrowpire"? In this episode, Buck and Wilma are on their way to a sexy vacation getaway, but when they stop at a space station to drop off Twiki, they find themselves quarantined and fighting an army of "mostly dead" zombies and a weird looking Space Vampire that has the hots for Wilma.

Salty Nerd Reviews: House of the Dragon - We Light The Way (S1E5)

Judgement Week: Dredd (2012)

Dredd Movie Review from the Salty Nerds has them geeking out over this "day in the life of Judge Dredd" movie from Karl Urban and Alex Garland. Nowhere near as campy as Stallone's 1995 take on the Judge Dredd character, this film sees Urban's Dredd team up with Olivia Thirlby as a mutant rookie Judge as they take on a crime lord named Ma-Ma, played by Cersei Lannister herself, Lena Headey. This film has lots of slow motion and tons of action! But best yet, Karl Urban is the only lead actor to ...

And Harlan is confirmed to have one hell of a c**k. W...

Judgement Week: Judge Dredd (1995)

Judge Dredd Movie Review from the Salty Nerds have them marveling at just how many times Sylvester Stallone and Armand Assante can shout "LAW" at each other and make "Justice" puns. Judge Dredd from 1995 is a guilty pleasure movie that sees Sylvester Stallone re-team with his Demolition Man co-star Rob Schneider and Diane Lane to uncover a very convoluted conspiracy plot, all while NOT wearing Judge Dredd's iconic helmet. What is your Judge Dredd 1995 movie review? Did you love it? Hate it? D...

Salty Nerd Reviews: Buck Rogers in the 25th Century - Planet Of The Amazon Women (S1E10)

80s Chinese Mysticism Week: Big Trouble In Little China (1986)

Big Trouble In Little China movie review from the Salty Nerds have them perplexed at this awesome cult classic movie from John Carpenter and Kurt Russell. Kurt Russell plays the legendary Jack Burton who teams up with Dennis Dun and Victor Wong to fight the cursed Chinese sorcerer David Lo Pan (played by James Hong ) all the while romancing Kim Cattrall and dropping epic one-liners. Big Trouble In Little China is ahead of its time in many ways, and part of its box office failure was because the...
