I was NOT emotionally prepared for Heart of the Beast.Welcome to The Brad Files, where my brain is full of nerd shit and apparently you're the toilet paper!This time, I'm talking about the new Brad Pitt movie, Heart of the Beast, directed by David Ayer.I took my wife and daughter to see it, and what followed was an emotional roller coaster I genuinely wasn't expecting.We're talking incredible performances, beautiful cinematography, the importance of the theatrical experience, and a dog that deserves some serious award consideration.And yes, there was ocular perspiration. Lots of it.Today's Bat-Question: Did Heart of the Beast make you cry? Be honest. Was there ocular perspiration in your theater?The Brad Files is part of Bat-Signals from the Multiverse. No script. No plan. Just whatever happens to be bouncing around my brain.Chase what you love. Ha-bye-bye!#HeartOfTheBeast #BradPitt #MovieReview #TheBradFiles #BatSignals

Nerdmore, The Gauntlet, Brian’s Game, questionable opinions, unexpected side quests, and plenty of laughs along the way.What has meant more to your nerd life: Batman or Transformers?No matter what universe you call home, thanks for spending a little time in ours. Until next time… keep your Bat-Signal lit. 🦇

My brain is full of nerd shit… and you get to be the toilet paper. Welcome to The Brad Files.Today we're talking about two of the greatest things ever created: Scotcheroos and chocolate milk.I'm an Iowa guy. I grew up on Scotcheroos, my grandma perfected them, and AE Dairy already makes some of the best dairy products around.But now they've done something ridiculous.SCOTCHAROO. CHOCOLATE. MILK.I had an unopened bottle, I'd never tried it, and there was only one reasonable thing to do: turn on the camera and experience it together.Does it actually taste like a Scotcharoo?Yes. Yes it freaking does.Welcome to The Brad Files — no script, no plan, just whatever happens to be bouncing around my brain.Chase what you love.Ha-bye-bye.

Welcome to The Brad Files — the place where I turn on the camera and empty out whatever is bouncing around my nerd brain.This time I'm talking TV, movies, comics and whatever else I stumble into along the way — including Lanterns, Resident Evil, The Traitors, Final Boss, Absolute Green Arrow, Absolute Batman and what I'm heading to the theater to see next.No script. No quick sheet. No real plan. Just a nerd brain dump.If you're into comics, movies, TV and general nerd chaos, subscribe and come nerd out with me.Chase what you love.Ha-bye-bye.

📡 The Signal is shining on Absolute Green Arrow #5.For five issues, DC has kept one pretty important question hanging over the Absolute Universe: Who is Green Arrow?I managed to avoid the spoilers, grabbed issue #5, hit BRB and went in almost completely blind.We finally got an answer.Sort of.⚠️ SPOILERS after the BRB!No scores. No over-prep. Just comics worth reading, discovering, and talking about.📡 THE SIGNALSomething catches my attention. I read it. Then we find out if it deserves the Signal.💬 BAT-QUESTIONCan Absolute Green Arrow work without Oliver Queen under the hood—or do you think Ollie's story isn't finished yet?Drop your answer below—and if there's a comic you think I need to discover, send up the Signal.Chase what you love.Keep your eye on the Signal.Ha-bye-bye.#AbsoluteGreenArrow #GreenArrow #DCComics #AbsoluteUniverse #ComicBooks #TheSignal

The Avengers AND the Guardians of the Galaxy in one comic? Of course I bought it.But buying comics is easy. Keeping them is a different question.This time on Worth the Space, Guardians Team-Up #1 gets One Last Read before I decide if it's Wall Worthy, a Keep, or headed to the Trade pile.Then it's time for The Chase—and I've got some BIG additions to both collections, including a signed Gambit/Rogue book and a signed Sword of Azrael #1 as I continue building my Gambit Core and Batman: Knightfall collection.Gambit fans: what books do I NEED in a collection built around what makes Gambit…Gambit?And would you keep Guardians Team-Up #1 or trade it?One Last Read. One Final Decision.Chase what you love.Keep your Bat-Signal lit.#WorthTheSpace #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy #Avengers #MarvelComics #Gambit #Batman #Knightfall #ComicBooks #ComicCollecting

📡 The Signal is shining on DNX #1 from Marvel Comics.I wasn't planning on buying this one.Then they put it in a blind bag.And apparently I'm incapable of walking away from a comic blind bag. 😂So I'm going into DNX #1 without following most of Marvel's current events to see if I can jump in, figure out what's happening, and—most importantly—whether the comic inside was worth taking the gamble.No scores. No over-prep. Just comics worth reading, discovering, and talking about.📡 THE SIGNALSomething catches my attention. I read it. Then we find out if it deserves the Signal.💬 BAT-QUESTIONEvery time I see DNX, my brain immediately says DMX.Coincidence? Clever marketing? Am I the only one?!And if you've been following the current X-Men books, fill me in—what am I missing and what should I be reading?Drop your answer below, and if there's a comic you think I need to discover, send up the Signal.Chase what you love.Keep your eye on the Signal.Ha-bye-bye.#DNX #XMen #MarvelComics #ComicBooks #TheSignal

I am sparatic, I'm easy going and sometimes just have a few things to say. If you are a nerd and want some REAL TALK. I might make you lauph, cry or think about life for a second. Thanks!

🦇 THE BAT-SIGNAL IS LIT!It's time for another Signal Scan as Brad and Brian dive into the comics, movies, TV, gaming and everything else lighting up their Bat-Signals this week.This week we're checking back in on Lanterns, talking about what we've been watching and reading, and asking a new kind of question about one of DC's most fascinating characters:Is Vandal Savage actually being used to his full potential?He's lived for thousands of years, manipulated history and played the long game better than almost anyone in the DC Universe. So is Gotham Police Commissioner really the best DC can do with him? Brian has another idea: make Vandal Savage the Mayor of Gotham.Plus the usual recommendations, tangents, questionable opinions and everything else that happens when two middle-aged nerds start talking pop culture.What lit up YOUR Bat-Signal this week? Drop it in the comments and let us know!And that was the Signal Scan.#Lanterns #VandalSavage #DCComics #Batman #Comics #BatSignals
