This Halloween, Two Nerds foolishly decided to watch all the Halloween movies. This installment covers Halloweens one through six, which exist on the same timeline, more or less. These movies cover roughly two decades of horror filmmaking, and it’s interesting…
Part the second of our discussion of Denis Villeneuve’s take on Frank Herbert’s Dune. We discuss the film after the Atreides land in Arakeen: how terrifying lasguns are, what a badass Duncan is, how funny coffee services are, and one…
Two Nerds crawled out of their mouse hole to go to the actual movie theater to see Denis Villeneuve’s new Dune adaption, which is the the first time we’d been to the theater since the pandemic started. This was definitely…
