Salty Nerd Reviews: Battlestar Galactica - 33 (S1E1) Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

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.

The Cylons have been relentlessly pursuing the fleet for 5 days after the events of the miniseries, jumping in exactly 33 minutes after the fleet escapes them. 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 episodes, and it's a heck of a way to kick off a TV series! The Salty Nerds totally geek out over this episode and have little to no salt to dump during their review.

Salty Nerd Reviews: House of the Dragon - Driftmark (S1E7) Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of the prequel series to Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, the entire extended Targaryen clan comes together for Laena's funeral, and tensions come to a boiling point. Aegon claims Laena's dragon for his own, which puts him at odds with Rhaenyra's and Daemon's children in a fight that has permanent consequences. Then, Alicent and Rhaenyra force the court to choose sides in the aftermath of the confrontation, showing Viserys to be weak and ineffective in the growing conflict between his wife and daughter. This then forces Rhaenyra to remove her husband Laenor from the equation so that she can marry and ally herself with her uncle Daemon Targaryen in a shocking twist ending.

Greatest Of All Time Week: Galaxy Quest (1999) Sep 30, 2022

Show notes

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

In what is arguably a better Star Trek movie than 90% of the Star Trek movies out there, Galaxy Quest is a hilarious and heartwarming movie about a group of washed-up TV actors who must embody their roles to help save an alien race from total annihilation.

Starring an amazing cast consisting of Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell, and Justin Long, this ensemble cast comes together to create a truly wonderful science fiction adventure film. What do you think of Galaxy Quest? Do you love it? Hate it?

Salty Nerd Reviews: SEE - The House Of Enlightenment (S3E5) Sep 29, 2022

Show notes

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 bombs and finds Boba Voss and crew there instead. Turns out, Boba and the three sighted people with him now have access to a TON of guns that they simply don't use, and Tormada is able to escape with all the bombs they originally went there to destroy. This is yet another awesomely bad episode of SEE and we can't wait to talk about it!

Greatest Of All Time Week: The Princess Bride (1987) Sep 28, 2022

Show notes

The Princess Bride movie review has the Salty Nerds declaring Wuv, Twoo Wuv for this classic movie.

A story about adventure, intrigue, and romance, The Princess Bride is probably one of the most quotable movies ever made. Based on William Goldman's novel and directed by Rob Reiner, the movie is about a poor farm boy who becomes a legendary pirate in order to win the hand of his true love, who also happens to be betrothed to an evil Prince who wants to kill her in order to start a war. Now, the farm boy must team up with a Spanish duelist and a giant in order to save her - all while skipping the "kissing stuff."

Starring Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Robin Wright, Christopher Guest, Fred Savage, Peter Falk, and Andre the Giant, this fantastical story is considered to be one of the greatest movies ever made (at least according to the Salty Nerds). If you love this fantasy movie as much as the Nerds do, you're not going to want to miss this review.

Did you love the Princess Bride? Do you find it inconceivable that anyone could hate it? Anyone want a peanut? Let us know in Discord community here: http://www.saltynerddiscord.com

Hey, guess who's back? Everyone's favorite scantily-clad evil space princess, Ardala! She's returning to get revenge on Earth, but she has something special in mind for Buck Rogers.

What did you think of Ardala Returns? Would you liked to be kidnapped by her? Why didn't Buck take her up on her offer? Why didn't Twiki break them out of their cell earlier? Let us know your thoughts in our Discord Server: http://www.saltynerddiscord.com

Recall Week: Total Recall (2012) Sep 21, 2022

Show notes

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.

This "reimagining" of the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger film from Paul Verhoeven comes to us from the creator of the Underworld franchise, Len Wiseman. Starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, and Bryan Cranston, Total Recall is the story of Douglas Quaid who may or may not be a secret agent that's forced to choose between his hot wife and his hot girlfriend in order to save the world from evil corporate interests, all while never going to Mars.

Though this movie is visually stunning (with lots of lens flare!) and the actors are all very good looking, it's missing the charm and fun of the original film, and is the epitome of a "slacktion" film.

Recall Week: Total Recall (1990) Sep 21, 2022

Show notes

Total Recall 1990 movie review from the Salty Nerds has them all wanting to get their ass to Mars so they can unlock ancient alien artifacts and party with three-tittied hookers. After all, they got 5 kids to feed!

Based on the Philip K. 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. Also starring a very sexy Sharon Stone, as well as Michael Ironside and Ronny Cox, Total Recall is the tale of a lowly construction worker named Quaid whose visit to the memory implant facility of Recall goes horribly wrong, and now his wife is trying to kill him and he has to go to Mars to uncover the mystery surrounding his true identity. But are the harrowing events really happening, or are they all part of a psychotic delusion brought upon by a botched Recall procedure?
