The Salty Nerds have a bone to pick with the second episode of season 3 of AppleTV's Jason Momoa series SEE. Actually, several bones as the show slides back into season 1 levels of glorious ridiculousness. Kofun is still being a terrible father, Haniwa is being annoying, Boba Voss smells like poop, Maghra is the worst Queen ever, and Sybeth is back on the loose for no apparent reason. Oh, and the guards in Pensa are the absolute worst. But you know what? The show is still a ton of fun and th...

The Golden Child movie review from the Salty Nerds has them talking about this 1986 classic from Eddie Murphy which went from being a serious mystical thriller to what essentially amounts to a supernatural version of Beverly Hills Cop. This fantasy comedy film is a nostalgic favorite of the Salty Nerds and follows Eddie Murphy as private investigator Chandler Jarrell as he teams up with expert martial artist Kee Nang to search for the kidnapped Golden Child. Along the way, Eddie Murphy deals w...

In this episode, Rhaenyra kills wild animals while fielding off marriage requests and being a bratty emo teenager. Viserys celebrates his son's second birthday by killing deer and getting super drunk. Alicent learns to play the Game of Thrones while being SUPER pregnant.

Stand aside, plebs! The Salty Nerds speak to their QUEEN as actress Sylvia Hoeks graces us with her presence. As the evil Queen Kane on Jason Momoa's AppleTV show SEE, the Salty Nerds have been praying to Sylvia for a long, long time. In this interview, Slyvia breaks down how she was cast in the role of Queen, how she crafted her iconic character, and entertains us with funny stories from the set.

Tremors 3 Back To Perfection movie review from the Salty Nerds has them liking this Tremors sequel a little better than the second film, but not by much. By this point in the Tremors franchise, Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward are nowhere to be found, so Michael Gross steps up to the plate as his character Burt Gummer is now the main character of the series. We return to the small town of Perfection Nevada where many of the original actors from the first Tremors film reprise their roles, albeit 11 yea...

Tremors 2 Aftershocks movie review from the Salty Nerds has them feeling like they were denied vital, need-to-know information, because this sequel falls far short of the classic original Tremors. Fred Ward and Michael Gross are back for the second installment of the Tremors franchise, but Kevin Bacon is nowhere to be found. This time, the Graboids evolve into a less scary version called Shriekers, and now both the comedy and the tension is extremely lacking. But Burt Gummer is back, and he's ...

Farscape Season 1 Episode 22 review from the Salty Nerd Podcast has them talking about Family Ties and the MASSIVE cliffhanger season 1 of this delightful sci-fi show ended on. However, many of the Salty Nerds are not liking Farscape, because it's too weird or too muppety! Jim Henson still has a lot of influence on this TV series, and some people don't think that's a good thing! In this episode, Rygel betrays the crew of Moya and tries to sell them out. But due to Scorpius looking to execute ...

Hey Everyone! SEE is back for its third and final season, and the Salty Nerds are here to break down SEE Season 3 Episode 1 - Heavy Hangs The Head. It's been almost a whole year since Jason Momoa left his family behind and walked off into the woods, and a lot has happened since then. David Hewlett has made some bombs. The war with the Bears Fans has ended. Kofun witnessed the birth of his son/cousin. And doors have been replaced by satellite dishes! Come for the political intrigue, stay for ...

Tremors movie review from the Salty Nerds has them debating on whether or not this movie is an underrated classic, or simply a fun monster movie that's gained cult status over the years. In Tremors (1990), Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, and Michael Gross (whose character Burt Gummer goes on to be the main character of the franchise) fight a bunch of underground graboids that have a hunger for human flesh and really, really good ears. This movie started the Tremors franchise and is directed by Ron Unde...

Hey all you Game of Thrones fans, the Salty Nerds do another expert analysis and breakdown of the GOT prequel series, House of the Dragon on HBO Max! Episode 2 is called "The Rogue Prince" and it seems Prince Daemon is up to some shenanigans while his brother, King Viserys Targaryen, is contemplating marrying a 12 year old. (Yikes!) Princess Rhaenyra is trying to assert her power but the PATRIARCHY won't let her! Ser Criston Cole is appointed to the King's Guard, and Lady Alicent Hightower ma...

Carrie 1976 movie review from the Salty Nerds have them discussing Brian de Palma's horror movie masterpiece that successfully adapted Stephen King's first novel into a feminist allegory for smashing the patriarchy. Sissy Spacek stars as the titular Carrie White. She's bad at volleyball, doesn't know what a period is, and can movie stuff with her mind. Nancy Allen is busy hating her while she isn't getting slapped around by John Travolta, and Amy Irving is trying to hook Carrie up with her boy...

Firestarter movie review from the Salty Nerds has them marveling at just how much Netflix's Stranger Things ripped this movie off. We all know that the Duffer Brothers were heavily inspired by the work of Stephen King when they were making Stranger Things, but they essentially ripped off the Firestarter 1984 movie starring Drew Barrymore as a child gifted with powerful psychic abilities that is relentlessly pursued by a secretive government agency who wants to either control her or kill her. Als...

Silver Bullet (1985) movie review from the Salty Nerds has them laughing at how terrible the werewolf is in this Stephen King werewolf movie! Most people probably don't know that Stephen King has a werewolf movie out there, let alone one starring Gary Busey, but it's true! Corey Haim plays a wheelchair-bound toddler who tries to warn his small Maine town about a rampaging werewolf, all while zooming around in souped-up wheelchairs dubbed "The Silver Bullet." Based on the Stephen King Novella "T...

The Salty Nerds take a look at Farscape season 1 episode 20, The Hidden Memory, and are totally freaked out by what the muppet did to Chiana in this episode. When last we left Ben Browder's John Crichton, he was being mercilessly tortured by new bad guy Scorpius. But now that Aeryn is feeling better, Claudia Black is all about rescuing her favorite Earthing! Aided by Gilina, the crew of Moya go down to rescue Crichton while their spaceship gives birth. And hijinks ensue. What is your The Hidd...

Hey everyone - Game Of Thrones is back! Well, sort of. House of the Dragon is a prequel to good ol' Game of Thrones, focusing on House Targaryen at the height of their power and the civil war within their house that almost destroyed them and lead to the extinction of the Dragons. Episode 1 feels like vintage Game of Thrones and knows it has a lot to make up for after the abysmal and disappointing final season of GOT. But it actually seems up to the task with increased production value and inp...

To celebrate the upcoming release of the last season of SEE, the Salty Nerds break down the latest FULL trailer for the final season of Apple TV's SEE, starring Jason Momoa.

The Salty Nerds are joined by actor David Hewlett to react to the latest trailer for Netflix's horror anthology Cabinet of Curiosities - a show produced by Guillermo del Toro where eight directors bring their nightmarish visions to the screen as they take ownership of each episode to scare the living bajeejus out of you. Though we're not strictly a horror podcast, we do love a good horror movie and horror story, and Netflix's Cabinet of Curiosities anthology looks super creepy! What is your Cabi...

The Jason X Movie Review from the Salty Nerds has them marveling at the sheer camp of the tenth entry into the Friday The 13th franchise. So if you want to smoke some weed and have premarital sex, this is the movie for you! Sort of. Jason Voorhees has escaped from the Crystal Lake Research Facility and gets cryogenically frozen, only to be awoken 500 years later. After killing a bunch of horny space teenagers and space marines, Jason gets beat up by an "uploaded" android. But a bunch of nano...

Day Shift review from the Salty Nerds has them marveling over the fact that there's a Netflix Original movie that they actually like for once. Day Shift, starring Jamie Foxx and Snoop Dogg, is the type of movie that would spawn if Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Blade, and John Wick were all in a wild orgy and had a baby together. Jamie Foxx is a vampire hunter who needs some quick cash, so he's teamed up with his "union rep" Dave Franco to find some vampires. This horror action comedy film is a lot...

Leprechaun 4 In Space movie review from the Salty Nerds have them debating as to whether this movie starring Warwick Davis as a fun sized homicidal maniac rampaging through a space ship and wielding lightsabers and bursting through people's peens is secretly brilliant comedy, or one of the worst films ever made. What started as a joke to spoof the Apollo 13 movie became an actual movie called Leprechaun 4: In Space. What started as a genuine attempt at a horror film starring Jennifer Aniston in...

Farscape Season 1 Episode 19 review from the Salty Nerds has them taking a loot at the big two-parter that introduces the audience to the big main villain of the series, Scorpius! Ben Browder tries to save Claudia Black by infiltrating a Peacekeeper base with Chiana in tow. John Crichton meets up with his sidepiece Gilina as she helps them infiltrate the stronghold to find a tissue graft to save Aeryn's life. But Crichton didn't count on the evil Scorpius to see through his ruse and capture hi...

If you're a fan of horror movies and horror podcasts, then you know that at some point in the life of a horror movie franchise, they GO TO OUTER SPACE once they run out of ideas. Well, in this episode of the Salty Nerd Podcast, the Nerds talk about that very thing with CRITTERS 4. Starring Angela Bassett, Brad Dourif, Don Keith Opper, and Terrence Mann, this installment of the Critters franchise has Charlie getting cryogenically frozen along with the last two Crit eggs in existence. He's then ...

Check out the movie that started the Buffy craze - Buffy The Vampire Slayer! The original vision of everyone's favorite cheerleader-turned-vampire-hunter from Joss Whedon, starring Kristy Swanson, Luke Perry, Donald Sutherland, Paul Reubens, and Rutger Hauer. This movie was originally more of a serious horror movie, but thanks to studio interference it became more of a comedy, much to the chagrin of Joss Whedon, who eventually ended up walking off set in protest. Vampires are on the loose in L...
