“Bello!Tulaliloo ti am. Me want banana. Poopaye!” - a minion In 2010, for better or worse, the little yellow bastards known as minions made their debut in Despicable Me. Much like Mater was a secondary character in Cars, the minions were rightfully not the center of attention. Then Cars 2 happened and everyone realized Mater was best in small doses. The same can be said for these little yellow creatures that speak gibberish and operate with the mentality of the Three Stooges.

The Nerd Alert Movie Club returns with another cult favorite as Brandon, Jimmy, James, and Chase dive into the 1996 pulp adventure classic, The Phantom! Long before comic book movies dominated Hollywood, Billy Zane donned the purple suit and brought Lee Falk's legendary comic strip hero to the big screen. But nearly 30 years later, does The Phantom still hold up?

There was a magical period of time in the 1980s when nobody quite knew what to do with all the television channels. Cable television was still relatively new, desperately trying to justify its existence by filling twenty-four hours a day with...well...whatever they could get their hands on. HBO wasn't yet the prestige powerhouse it would become. MTV actually played music videos. The Disney Channel felt like a secret club. This week on dumb movies, Superman III.

Steven Spielberg has given us some of the most iconic movies in cinematic history. From groundbreaking blockbusters and unforgettable adventures to emotional dramas and sci-fi masterpieces, his filmography has shaped generations of movie fans. With Spielberg's latest film, Disclosure Day, arriving in theaters, the Nerd Alert crew is celebrating the legendary filmmaker with a movie trivia challenge! How many Steven Spielberg films can you identify from clues, images, and h

“If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans.” – Stephen Hawking Steven Spielberg will be eighty years old in December. It leaves a lump in the throat to think of what little time we have left to experience new Spielberg. He is as synonymous with cinema as the very cameras capturing the imagery he has ingrained in our collective memory. He is basically his very own genre. There’s somethi

There are certain movies that become less about what they actually are and more about the legends that surround them. For my generation, Faces of Death was one of those movies. The original 1978 film was passed around like contraband folklore. Long before the internet could debunk myths in seconds, information traveled through whispered conversations on school playgrounds and sleepovers. If you grew up in the 1980s, there was a good chance you knew someone who knew some

After an excellent premiere, The Boroughs wastes absolutely no time picking up where Episode 1 left us hanging. "The Mourning After" dives headfirst into the fallout of Jack Willard's shocking death while continuing to peel back the layers of mystery surrounding this seemingly idyllic desert retirement community. More importantly, it proves that the show's strongest asset isn't necessarily the supernatural horror lurking in the shadows—it's the fascinating collection of chara

Nerd Alert Rewind: Remo Williams - The Adventure Begins. As a kid growing up in the '80s, I swear Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins was on HBO every other day. Back then, if a movie aired more than three times on cable, it automatically became a classic. I must have watched Remo leap across rooftops and dodge bullets dozens of times before I was old enough to understand what was actually happening.

MAY 2026 One of the best things about being nerdy about something (passionate) is the hope of sharing it with others. Since my own family is sick of hearing about the endlessness of my collections which include but are not limited to: physical movie collection, pop culture art prints, popcorn buckets, Batmobiles in both Lego and Hot Wheels, I’ve decided to dump all this worthless (but still cool? Maybe?) rigamarole onto an unsuspecting internet. That’s you, dear reader! Anywa
