Resident Evil is a horror movie where the scariest thing is a padlock. Shoot it twice with a shotgun, ram it with a car, and it holds, because you never found the key with the matching symbol on it. That is the joke, and the whole film is built out of jokes like it.PrizePicks: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/NERD and use code NERD and get $150 if you win your first $5 lineup!Hims: Access to FDA approved GLP-1 weight loss treatments online, including the first ever GLP-1 pill, with no insurance needed.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds might be the most confusing show on television. Not confusing to follow. Confusing to rate. It has been an Aliens clone, a musical, a 1960s parody, and now a horror show, and there is no way to know before pressing play whether the next episode will be one of the best hours in franchise history or completely unwatchable.   Raycon: The Essential Open Earbuds sit outside your ear canal on a flexible hook, so you hear everything around you while you run.

The Rocketeer came out in 1991, flopped at the box office, and has quietly become one of the best superhero movies ever made. MonteCristo and DoA revisit the 35th anniversary of a diesel punk cult classic that's aged better than almost everything the MCU has produced since Endgame, and make the case for why you should watch it this weekend.   Raycon: Essential Open Earbuds wrap around your ear so you can hear your surroundings. 3 million customers, 30-day guarantee.

Game of Thrones sabotaged its own fan base worse than any franchise in television history. And then HBO did the impossible: they actually fixed it. MonteCristo and DoA break down the first three episodes of House of the Dragon Season 3, why the Battle of the Gullet is the second-best battle in the entire Westeros universe, and how HBO pulled off a franchise recovery that Star Wars and Star Trek can only dream of.

MonteCristo and DoA are on opposite sides of Spider-Noir, and the gap between them is wider than a Prohibition-era speakeasy. DoA loved it.

The critic reviews are a lie. Disclosure Day is sitting at 81% on Rotten Tomatoes and it is terrible. MonteCristo and DoA break down how Steven Spielberg, John Williams, David Koepp, and Janusz Kamiński, four of the most accomplished filmmakers alive, collectively produced a movie where nothing makes sense, nothing is explained, and the climax is hijacking a local Kansas City news broadcast in 2026 because apparently TikTok doesn't exist.

Masters of the Universe cost $200 million and it's probably the best He-Man movie anyone could have made. That's a compliment to the filmmakers and a ceiling on the IP. MonteCristo and DoA break down why this is a genuinely fun popcorn flick, why Jared Leto's Skeletor is the single best thing in it, and why the movie exists because Barbie made a billion dollars and Mattel greenlit everything in the building, including an Uno movie.   Raycon: Essential Open Earbuds wrap around your ear so you can hear your surroundings. 3 million customers, 30-day guarantee.
