Like most podcasts, the Fake Nerd Podcast starts the new year off with a list of their favorite things from the previous year. Since 2022 was a particularly exciting year for us, we expanded the list from 10 to 15. So here is my top 15 list that appeared in the 309th episode of the Fake Nerd Podcast.
Read MoreKing Kong is one of the most recognizable monsters in American cinema. First bursting on the screen in the 1933 film King Kong, the monster has delighted audiences ever since. Most recently the giant ape has become one of the leads in Legendary’s MonsterVerse where he duked it out with Godzilla for the first time since 1962. Now, King Kong will make the jump to the small screen for a live-action series on Disney+.
Read MoreSaturday morning cartoons have been an American staple for many decades. So much so that Godzilla, himself, got in on the action in the late 1970s. Simply titled Godzilla, the series premiered in 1978 and ran for two seasons. Godzilla was an animated series from Hanna-Barbera, the creators of such shows as The Flintstones and Jonny Quest. The series has had a rough history and was basically buried in the annals of history for decades until Toho began releasing the first season on the official Godzilla YouTube channel. Now that all 13 episodes of the first season are uploaded, a trailer released has revealed the second season will begin on June 6th.
Read MoreThe Kaiju novel, Project Nemesis is finally receiving an adaptation. The beloved novel from Jeremy Robinson will be adapted into a live-action tv-series with John Wick director Chad Stahelski attached as series director. The series is in the very early stages right now and hasn’t been picked up by a network or streaming service, but fans of this novel already have plenty to be excited about.
Read MoreProduction appears to be moving on the next entry of the MonsterVerse. After the success of Godzilla vs. Kong, it seemed inevitable that Legendary would move forward with a fifth movie. Adam Wingard, who directed Godzilla vs. Kong, is confirmed to be returning to the director’s chair for this film and now, none other than, Dan Stevens is attached to star.
Read MoreA few weeks ago, the Kaiju community was alerted to a potential crossover with the free-to-play video game, Call of Duty: Warzone. The teaser featured three characters in World War II discovering a device that emitted the sound of the Orcha from Godzilla: King of the Monsters. At the end of the teaser, a familiar roar could be heard. It wasn’t long before it was confirmed that Godzilla and Kong would be making an appearance in the upcoming season of Call of Duty: Warzone.
Read More“The apocalypse, it seems, was never canceled… only postponed”. So opens Cavan Scott and Nelson Dániel’s Pacific Rim: Blackout, the latest original graphic novel from Legendary Comics. Pacific Rim: Blackout follows Jaeger pilot Herc Hanson as he and other Jaeger pilots attempt to slow the spread of Kaiju in Australia. Things don’t look good, however, and fans of Pacific Rim: The Black will certainly recall how this story ends.
Read MoreQuantum Leap returns to the small screen on September 12th. The reboot of the 1989 sci-fi drama series about Dr. Sam Beckett leaping through time, trying to put right what once went wrong. This time, it will follow a new scientist (Dr. Ben Strong played by Raymond Lee) and his team as they restart the Quantum Leap program and begin their own journey. Since the new series is billed as a sequel to the original, many fans were hopeful that it would finally give Sam Beckett the happy ending he was denied in the original show. But Dr. Beckett himself, Scott Bakula, took to Twitter to set the record straight.
Read MoreOne of the opening scenes of Jurassic Park III has Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neil) giving a lecture to a group of people about the new discoveries that fossilized remains have revealed about raptors. He takes a question about the point of paleontology since there are two islands that hold real living dinosaurs. Grant responds to this young man by saying “what John Hammond and InGen did at Jurassic Park is create genetically engineered theme park monsters. Nothing more and nothing less.” This line would prove to be the entire thesis on which Jurassic World would be based. A thesis perfectly encapsulated by one dinosaur: Indominous Rex.
