Salty Nerd Reviews: Buck Rogers in the 25th Century - Awakening Parts 1 & 2 (S1E1&2) Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

If you thought you knew what real science fiction was, then you haven't yet seen BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25TH CENTURY! The story of a US Astronaut who is cryogenically frozen in a freak accident and who wakes up 500 years in the future to help save all of humanity - and be SEXY while doing it!

Gil Gerard gives Captain Kirk a run for his money as Captain William 'Buck' Rogers, the suave, awesome, and SEXY human from the 20th century. He's got his trusty sidekicks Dr. Theopolis, Twiki, and Erin Gray as Colonel Wilma Deering. But he's also got the drop-dead gorgeous Pamela Hensley as Princess Ardala, all about seducing this fine specimen of masculinity.

The Salty Nerds can barely handle the raw sexual energy seeping from the screen as they review the premiere episodes of this forgotten classic sci-fi TV series. If you haven't yet watched Buck Rogers In The 25th Century, you're in for a real treat!

Tremors Week: Tremors 3 - Back To Perfection (2001) Sep 03, 2022

Show notes

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 years later. This time, the Graboids return, but evolve yet AGAIN into a new form that is better than the Shriekers from the second movie, but with an even more ridiculous name.

Tremors Week: Tremors II: Aftershocks (1996) Sep 02, 2022

Show notes

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 the highlight of the film, so at least there's that.

Salty Nerd Reviews: Farscape - Family Ties (S1E22) Sep 01, 2022

Show notes

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 Rygel, the alien teams up with former big bad Craise and the two defect to Moya just in time to help John Crichton out with his plan to blow up a moon and create all types of trouble for Scorpius and the Peacekeepers.

Show notes

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 the poop beards, dogs named "No," and Harlan's masculine wiles, as the Salty Nerds talk about the season premiere of one of their favorite TV shows, AppleTV's SEE.

Tremors Week: Tremors (1990) featuring David Hewlett Aug 31, 2022

Show notes

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 Underwood with a screenplay from Short Circuit scribes S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock. It's an unusual monster movie that has just the right amount of campy terror and tension.

Joining the Salty Nerds for their review is none other than Stargate Atlantis actor David Hewlett, who's also a big fan of this movie! What other horror movie podcast gets this kind of celebrity guest? Ha ha ha.

Salty Nerd Reviews: House of the Dragon - The Rogue Prince (S1E2) Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

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 makes a play for the King. We talk about all this and more in your favorite Game of Thrones Podcast with the Salty Nerds!

But be warned! There are SPOILERS in this episode! So don't listen to it until after you've watched the show! We also go into a lot of book lore as well.

Stephen King Week: Carrie (1976) Aug 26, 2022

Show notes

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 boyfriend William Katt when she isn't getting hit on by Steven Spielberg.

Forget the telekinesis, probably the scariest thing in this whole movie is Piper Laurie as Carrie's crazy religious mother. Well, that and all the 70s bush on display.
