Salty Nerd Reviews: Battlestar Galactica - Act of Contrition (S1E4) Oct 27, 2022

Show notes

Battlestar Galactica Act Of Contrition starts off with a devastating tragedy that forces the fleet to begin looking for new pilots to train. Starbuck is put in charge of training the new "nuggets" but her involvment in the death of Zack Adama haunts her and makes her doubt her ability to actually do the job she's been assigned. All this leads up to a powerful confrontation between her and Adama that could potentially shatter their relationship and put the fleet's primary military commander at odds with his best pilot. Will an act of contrition mend these emotional fences? Or is it impossible to fix what is broken?

This episode is the first of an engrossing two-parter and ends on one heck of a cliffhanger. What are your thoughts on Battlestar Galactica season 1 episode 4? Did you like it? Hate it?

Vincenzo Natali Week: Splice (2009) Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

Splice movie review from the Salty Nerds has them squirming in their skins at this uncomfortable (yet brilliant) horror movie.

Part Marry Shelly's Frankenstein, part Jurassic Park, SPLICE is a film about humanity's genetic future and the consequences of playing God. Starring Adrien Brody, Sarah Polley, and David Hewlett, this movie tells the story of two scientists who create a whole new species only to discover that their creation is far more dangerous than they first believed. Written and directed by Vincenzo Natali, this is a unique and terrifying film that's sure to make everyone who sees it never want to watch it again! But in that sense, it has a unique charm you can't find in most horror films.

Hellboy Week: Hellboy II The Golden Army (2008) Oct 21, 2022

Show notes

Hellboy II The Golden Army movie review from the Salty Nerds has them impressed that this is one of those scenarios where the sequel is better than the original.

The second in a proposed trilogy of Hellboy films from legendary director Guillermo del Toro, Ron Perlman is back as the titular "demon cop" with both Selma Blair and Doug Jones reprising their roles as Liz Sherman and Abe Sapien, respectively. This time around, some pesky Elves are looking to destroy humanity by gaining control of the Golden Army, a legion of robot soldiers that are quite indestructible. The only question is if the BPRD will be able to stop them in time.

Salty Nerd Reviews: SEE - I See You (S3E8 Series Finale) Oct 20, 2022

Show notes

The last ever episode of SEE, Jason Momoa's fantasy AppleTV series, is finally here! It's been a long ride with this show about a future where everyone is blind, and the Salty Nerds are sad to see it go, but also glad that they won't have to deal with its ridiculousness anymore.

In this series finale, Boba Voss and Ranger assault Sybeth's camp and murder a ton of Trevantians. Meanwhile, the greatest Ayura ever can hear the Pensans escaping underground, so Sybeth starts bombing the city again until Mahgra and her crew show up to save the day. There's lots of explosions and all the loose-threads are tied up. Oh, and Kofun is still terrible.

Hellboy Week: Hellboy (2004) Oct 19, 2022

Show notes

Hellboy 2004 review from the Salty Nerds has them debating as to whether this comic book adaptation from Guillermo del Toro is incredibly brilliant, or incredibly boring.

Starring Ron Pearlman, Doug Jones, and Selma Blair, Hellboy tells the story of a demon summoned during World War II who grows up to become a supernatural law enforcement officer who protects humanity from a variety of Lovecraftian threats. But he also might be the very thing that destroys humanity as well. Adapted from the comic book from artist Mike Mignola, Hellboy 2004 has amazing visuals and is quite faithful to the comics, but is the story interesting enough to keep audiences interested?
