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. But is this really the case? And is it the best course of action in the face of Internet trolls and a-holes? We talk it out in this episode, and for a positive spin Chad also points out some quality movies and TV shows he's been watching.
Show Notes:
03:33 - Don't accentuate the negative and eliminate the positive.
04:49 - The Deadpool hypothesis.
07:32 - The power of the dark side.
08:51 - The problem of anonymity.
13:05 - Case in point: How Nerdstalking handles criticism in its feeds.
16:51 - Was trolling the REAL reason for Tran to drop off Instagram?
21:09 - The price of stardom.
22:52 - The democracy of numbers.
25:18 - Chad's entertainment choices starts.
25:28 - Remake of The Magnificent Seven.

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!

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.

Tuesday Jan 03, 2017
Tuesday Jan 03, 2017
Where we celebrate (and vilify) the highs (and lows) of 2016. We update previous Nerdstalking topics such as Batman v Superman, The Twilight Zone, and Stephen King, and pick at the scabs left by the many celebrity deaths of 2016 including Carrie Fisher. To top things off, we put the "Death" in "Death Star" with a spoiler-filled examination of the tale of how the plans of that technological terror were stolen, in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
