Five Nights at Freddy’s

Three of the animatronic antagonists from Five Nights at Freddy's, in a mirror image with Freddy Fazbear in the middle. One side is lit normally, and the other ominously.

For this episode of Two Nerds, we’re joined by a “subject matter expert,” our kid, Traveller. Traveller was super into Five Nights at Freddy’s when he was a wee child, so he’s got the lore-dump for us. I gotta say,…

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn

Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullan sneers. Behind him are trees covered in snow.

Two Nerds finish up their re-watch of the Twilight Saga movies with Breaking Dawn. The filmmakers split the fourth and final book in the series into two films, so we decided to put them back together in this podcat. Which…

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullan sneers. Behind him are trees covered in snow.

Continuing on with our Twilight movie festival, we watched Eclipse. Of the four movies, we have the least to say about this outing, though I’m not sure why. Maybe because the series hasn’t really gone off the rails yet; maybe…

The Twilight Saga: New Moon

Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullan sneers. Behind him are trees covered in snow.

Two Nerds continue on to the second of the Twilight movies: New Moon. We get really excited when we glimpse a bunch of movie posters in a scene in a theater, but that turns out mostly to be a dead…

The Twilight Saga: Twilight!

Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullan sneers. Behind him are trees covered in snow.

Two Nerds decided to watch the Twilight Saga again, because this whole series is fascinating and enjoyable on its own terms, while also being 100% bonkers. Twilight is actually the least bananas of any of the movies (or books the…

28 Days Later

A still from 28 Days Later. A man in blue scrubs stands with his back to the viewer. In the background is a London streetscape empty of people and littered with trash.

Two Nerds decided to watch 28 Days Later again, partially because I wanted to see how closely it mapped to John Wyndham’s The Day of the Triffids — from which writer Alex Garland avowedly lifted the opening — and partially…

All the Mummies

Two Nerds recorded a whole ass podcat about the movie Nope, then my damn phone ate it. So to console ourselves, we went ahead and watched all the Mummy movies — The Mummy (1999), The Mummy Returns, The Scorpion King,…

Moonfall: A Moon What Falls

It’s been a hot minute since Two Nerds saw the movie Moonfall and recorded a podcat about it. I went back to finish my degree, and then there was a bunch of other life stuff that sucked up our emotional…

Halloween Ends

Beginning a year ago, Two Nerds went on journey to watch all the movies in the Halloween franchise. It’s been quite a ride, finally terminating in Halloween Ends, which wraps up the most recent trilogy begun with 2018’s Halloween. The…

Halloween Kills

Slogging on through the Halloween movies, Two Nerds watched the most recent Halloween (which brings the count up to three whole ass movies titled Halloween), and its sequel, Halloween Kills. These two movies dispense with every single Halloween sequel so…
