Every once in a while, a film comes along that completely blows you away, and such is the case with, 'Everything Everywhere All at Once.' We both adored this film. It succeeds on every level and offers so much to the viewer that you will need multiple viewings to capture all of the great details. Michelle Yeoh is sensational, as is the rest of the cast, which includes the brilliant return of Ke Huy Quan. This film certainly won't be for everyone, but it definitely worked for both of us.
In this Nerd Flix & Chill podcast, we dive deep into this multi-genre, multi-verse masterpiece about a laundromat owner trying to do her taxes.

'Moon Knight,' continues to impress with its strong writing and great performances. The second episode, 'Summon the Suit,' explores Marc Spector's character and actions while also shedding light on the grand plan of Arthur Harrow and introducing us to Mr. Knight. This episode is tight and the pace is fast without racing. It is a great example of how the MCU is leveraging Disney+ to create shows that have highly cinematic qualities.
In this Nerd Flix & Chill podcast, we give our thoughts on this week's episode of 'Moon Knight.'

'Moon Knight,' made his debut on Disney+ with a first episode that does not waste any time getting our main character into the mess. 'The Goldfish Problem,' was a first episode that managed to do a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to establishing characters. This episode gave us quite a bit to discuss including the real-life example of the emotional turmoil on display in the restaurant scene.

The season finale of, 'The Book of Boba Fett,' didn't rely on heavy cameos, rather brought the show back to its core characters and story. It ultimately turned out to be a finale that felt satisfying and appropriate based on what the show set up. That said, this series has not been without it's, but when we talk about flaws, we are not talking about spinning blaster shots or battlefield strategy, but rather, the story itself.
In this Nerd Flix & Chill podcast, we break down the season finale. We discuss what worked and what could have been done better.

The sixth episode of, 'The Book of Boba Fett,' kept it's titular character on the backburner, focusing more on Din Djarin and Grogu. This episode featured some jaw-dropping cameos and unexpected surprises. It played all of the right notes. However, this wasn't just a showcase to check in with some of our favorite characters. Instead, we get deep, rich, epic storytelling that displays the interconnectedness of Star Wars. The story parallels between Luke and Yoda, and Grogu and Luke are on full display. We also see the similarities of the traumatic events that impacted the young lives of Grogu and Din Djarin. So many connections.
This was just fantastic stuff all around, and in this Nerd Flix & Chill podcast we break it all down for you. So join us for this detailed breakdown of 'The Book of Boba Fett,' chapter 6, 'From the Desert Comes a Stranger.'

Was it 'The Book of Boba Fett,' or 'The Mandalorian' season 3 premiere? It felt more like the latter, but we are not complaining. While the primary storyline for this show has seem to have stalled, this Mando-focused episode injected a new-level of excitement. The question is, will Din Djarin now overshadow Boba Fett in his own show? Sure seems like it.
In this Nerd Flix & Chill podcast, we breakdown all of the fantastic storytelling details in 'The Book of Boba Fett,' episode five, 'The Return of The Mandalorian.'

'The Book of Boba Fett,' continues to be a series that is building toward a huge clash. However, the audience can also be left wanting. Though the last 3 episodes are likely to be filled with reveals and cameos, there are times where we wish this show would show it's hand a little more.
That said, this weeks installment was an improvement over a clunky third episode.
In this Nerd Flix & Chill podcast, we breakdown, 'The Gathering Storm.'

The third episode of 'The Book of Boba Fett,' has some interesting moments but seems to lack to sharpness of the first two episodes. We struggled with some of the storytelling decisions, and had some issues with the visual effects as well.

After a year-long wait, we finally have a live-action 'Star Wars' series to discuss. 'The Book of Boba Fett,' has not broken any new ground in terms of location, but it is filling in a rich backstory for characters that have been easy to overlook in 'Star Wars' lore. This series has a lot of potential and we are looking forward to where it goes.
In this Nerd Flix & Chill Podcast, we break down the first two chapters of 'The Book of Boba Fett.'

The season finale of 'The Wheel of Time,' was polarizing for many book readers and show-watchers alike. It has many ups and downs, but it does improve on multiple viewings. There are story points that become much clearer and a resolution that sets up great things for season 2.
When we dive deeper into the episode, it is evident that production issues related to COVID and one of the principle performers leaving the show, had a major impact on the production. Scenes had to be relocated and rewritten, CGI used to replace actors in costume, all made for a difficult production. When one looks at the season finale in that context, it is a miracle they turned out what they did.
In this Nerd Flix & Chill podcast, we break down the season 1 finale.
