There's a dearth of genuine people in Hollywood; Canadian actor-comedian John Candy was surely one of them. Larger than life on the screen, Candy passed away from a heart attack in 1994. But in his formidalbe wake he left a library of quality movies and television, so in this episode Bill and Chad remember such classics as Uncle Buck, Summer Rental, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and others.
Show Notes:
03:39 - Uncle Buck.
06:03 - The language of real life.
07:08 - By way of comparison: Uncle Buck vs. Parenthood.
11:38 - Really hits home watching the movie after having kids.
13:56 - Losing John Candy was like losing a close friend.
14:53 - Johnny LaRue
16:04 - The toothpick guy.
18:30 - One problem with Uncle Buck.
19:25 - Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
21:37 - YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!!
24:43 - Summer Rental.
30:49 - Stripes.
36:13 - The Great Outdoors. (I meant to say spin cycle, not rinse cycle - Bill)
43:13 - Only the Lonely + the unbearable 'acting' of Ally Sheedy.
46:19 - By way of comparison: Molly Ringwald.
49:55 - The Canadian Conspiracy.
Thanks for listening!

After appearing in Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi in a major role as rebel technician Rose Tico, Kelly Marie Tran has supposedly removed all of her posts on Instagram due to intense harassment and racist comments on her feed.

People are asking, "Why make a Han Solo prequel movie?" Disney answers, "Where is the money, Lebowski?" So here we are reviewing a movie that doesn't really have a reason for existing. Or maybe, it exists so that we can review it! So we did that.
Show Notes:
05:05 - Solo's so-low box office performance.
07:37 - So much empty fan service.
08:18 - There's no reason for this movie to exist.
10:11 - They blew their chance to really inform the character of Han Solo.
15:19 - The fabeled Kessel Run.
19:15 - When Han met Chewie.
22:55 - The weird Lando moment.
27:44 - Is this the Disneyfied Star Wars we all feared?
28:38 - Donald Glover wasn't that great, but Alden Ehrenreich was pretty good!
31:34 - Mother of Drag-ons.
33:59 - Is Cersei from Game of Thrones a blonde or red-head?
36:22 - Trump Blonde, now in the hair-colour aisle.
37:06 - Shitty cinematography.
38:10 - Han definitely shoots first.
39:09 - Lando needs a smaller card hider.
40:07 - Darth Maul and his baby legs.
47:46 - Han was Han for a brief, shining moment.
49:15 - Final verdict.
Thanks for listening!

For the love of Yentl, please take some time and listen to our review of Deadpool 2, starring the most potty-mouthed Marvel superhero after Logan, pre-impalement. You'll totter on baby legs, gasp at the X-Force's first mission, and laugh all the way to the Xavier mansion. Two disclaimers: We had an audio glitch for the first bit of the podcast, and we explore every nook and cranny of Deadpool and his movie, so SPOILER ALERT!

02:26 - Better pop-culture references than Ready Player One.
06:44 - A whole crap-load of heart.

18:26 - Audio fixed, all that 4th wall breaking.
20:03 - For the love of Yentl.
22:26 - Them's the jokes!
27:27 - Oh, Domino.
29:00 - BEST. END. CREDIT. SCENE. EVER.
32:58 - Logan musical figurine, live!
35:09 - Better car chase than Black Panther.
38:00 - Some of Bill's patented nit-picks.
44:10 - Quick news bits: Mysterio in Homecoming 2, waiting for Solo.

Movie critics are people (until A.I. takes over), and sometimes people make terrible mistakes... like atomic weaponry, President Donald Trump, and now the movie reviews for Bright, starring Will Smith and Joel Edgerton as a human and orc cop team out to save the world from devious, magical elves. David Ayers' alternate world buddy-cop film drew heavy fire from critics, but is it deserved? Chad and Bill dive deep to illuminate you on this Netflix original movie. The usual caveat: we give our typical very thorough look at the film and its meanings, so SPOILER ALERT!
Show Notes:
01:23 - Did we mention that critics suck?
06:02 - The Suicide Squad effect.
07:58 - More great worldbuilding.
11:51 - The story of Bright.
14:53 - Will Smith is very Will Smith-ish.
18:04 - A character named 'Serling'.
19:45 - A very ethereal Noomi Rapace.
21:50 - The Ward vs. his Co-Workers scene.
29:53 - The unused wife.
31:55 - Funny scene: Jakoby spills the beans.
35:18 - True Detective is Putin's favourite show.
38:15 - David Ayers has redeemed himself.
41:14 - Hoping for more stories in this world.
43:18 - Slight digression: Heath Ledger as The Joker.

So, have you ever finished watching a sci-fi or fantasy movie and felt you just didn't like that film, but you're not sure why? It could be that the filmmakers didn't put enough thought and effort into good worldbuilding. In this episode of Nerdstalking, we ponder what worldbuidling means, and look at some examples of it in action, good and bad.

This is part 2 of our review of Steven Spielberg's nostalgia-porn movie Ready Player One. In it we lament the lack of any real danger or even drama in the film, as well as laugh at its lack of knowledge of the actual nature of online gaming, and discuss how the changing nature of copyright and IP management these days has made this film easier to make. All this, and much more in the last of our two-parter on Ready Player One. Plus, it's dangerous to go alone, so take this warning along with you as you listen to this episode: we take a deep dive into the movie and explore many plot points, so be pepared for MANY SPOILERS!

Ready Player One is so stuffed with pop-culture references, and our derision so strong for this hollow exercise, we can't even fit our review into one Nerdstalking episode! Log in and listen to Part. 1 of our review as we slag director Steven Spielberg for not understanding video games, knock the world-building of the film as being as shaky as the Stacks, and lament about the lack of heart in the film, among other complaints. And you might even find a couple of positive comments in here too; consider them the Easter eggs you have to search for. As usual here at Nerdstalking, we give the movie a thorough going over and dive deep into what it is and what it means, so also be on the search for MANY, MANY SPOILERS!

What happens if you take TRON, mix it with The Last Starfighter, and throw in a pinch of references to every SF movie and video game of the last 30 years or so? You get Steven Spielberg's latest flick Ready Player One, based on Ernest Cline's love-letter-to-videogames novel of the same name. We anticipate the release of the film with all the giddy glee of kids waiting in line for Back to the Future in 1985. Plus we celebrate Sam Rockwell's 2018 Oscar win with a retrospective of his career, and take a look at Steven Soderbergh's guerilla feature filmmaking iPhone experiment Unsane.

We focus our tri-corders on USS Callister, an episode of the great Netflix anthology SF series Black Mirror that deftly parodies Star Trek while presenting the usual futuretech dystopia that is the hallmark of the series. We also hold up DTube, a video sharing site that is being hailed as a YouTube killer, as proof that there is no redeeming features of mankind whatsoever. Enjoy!

Sure, DC movies have had some hard knocks over recent years, but at least they warned us that Kevin Spacey is, in fact, a real diabolical menace!

In this episode of Nerdstalking, we respond to a message from listener BlueIncandesence, who had some issues with our breakdown of the Wonder Woman movie in Ep. 20. Other topics we cover include Bill arguing against the existence of a god, the firing of Phil Lord and Chris Miller from the Han Solo, uh, solo movie, the 35th anniversary of the original Tron, the demise of Batman's Adam West, and more. Then there's a big SPOILER ALERT for our in-depth breakdown of Spider-Man: Homecoming, what we liked and disliked, and our favourite moments from the film.

SPOILER ALERT: Hopefully you've seen the movie already because we spoil the hell out of it in our in-depth review.
Will Starlord bond with his space-daddy? Does Drax really find Mantis repulsive? Can Rocket come to terms with his a-holery? These questions and more answered in our review of Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2. We also cover other topics in our monthly news segment, such trailers reactions for IT, The Dark Tower, Wonder Woman, and The Last Jedi; a nerdgasm moment in the new MST3K series; a look at the short promo movie for Alien: Covenant; the release of Logan on video and more.
