Nick D Podcast

The Movie Mom herself, Nell Minow, is back to talk about a bunch of new movies, her visit to the George Lucas Museum, her interview with Domhnall Gleeson, and a new 4-hour documentary about that very wealthy weirdo Elon Musk. Nick and Nell also catch up on what's happening over at RogerEbert.com.

Later, Esmeralda Leon and Nick dive headfirst into Nerd Talk, dissecting video game movies like Street Fighter with Jean-Claude Van Damme and the original Mortal Kombat, before getting into The Lord of the Rings movies. Esma also reveals just how big a nerd her partner Colin is: he keeps Heat on his phone so he has access to it 24 hours a day...because apparently he needs it. Oh, and according to Nick, Elton John was in a video game movie. You'll have to listen to find out what the hell that means. [Ep 492]

Food writer and entertainment journalist Marnie Shure is back with her monthly Horror Report, including a deep dive into why the movie Obsession has somehow captured the collective minds of Gen Z. Nick also helps Marnie make an important Halloween season decision: a Friday the 13th marathon or a Scream marathon? Plus, they talk about the upcoming "Games For Good" fundraising event.

Later, Esmeralda Leon and Nick recap their weekends, review some late-night streaming discoveries, and venture into the surprisingly terrifying world of TV commercial mascots. The Noid, Mr. Mucus, and the legendary Quiznos Spongemonkeys all make the list. Enjoy trying to fall asleep after that conversation. [Ep 491]
