S8 Ep319: Episode 319 - Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare

Originally released on Patreon, August 18, 2023 On this month's very special edition of our Star Trek re-cap show, The Nexus, the gang is talking about TNG's "The Best of Both Worlds!"  The first part aired June 16, 1990 as the finale of the third season, and the season four premiere, part two, aired September 22, 1990. This is of course the fabulous in-series movie-feeling two-parter where Picard is captured and assimilated by the Borg! How much does Riker super-hate that Commander Shelby? Lotta laughs at Wesley getting shut down at the poker game, no? Isn't it just incredible seeing the Whoopster here? How cool is Riker's blackout line for part one? And any time you get to see that Battle Bridge on this show, you know you're in for a good time! PLUS: Tons of moments of Worf and Data just ICING Borg left and right!  The Nexus is a WHM podcast where the guys futilely go through two Star Trek series at the same time.

“Cue the Bloodhound Gang!” - Chris, on this film’s soundtrack  Recorded Live at City Winery in Atlanta, GA 4.25.24 For the first summer break episode of 2024, the guys were in Atlanta talking about the Gerard Butler video game action adventure, Gamer! Why couldn’t they edit these action scenes a little more clearly so you can follow this stuff? How lame is it to set your film “a certain time from now”? Did we really need to hear that Marilyn Manson “Sweet Dreams” cover in a movie again? Is Michael C. Hall’s character one of the worst villains in action cinema? And do these poor bastard avatar people get any days off from killing adventures? PLUS: Did Gerard Butler sign on to the film because he thought he was being asked to play Cable, the X-Men character?  Gamer stars Gerard Butler, Michael C. Hall, Amber Valletta, Kyra Sedgwick, Logan Herman, Ludacris, Aaron Yoo, Johnny Whitworth, John de Lancie, Milo Ventimiglia, Zoë Bell, John Leguizamo, Terry Crews, and Keith David as Agent Keith; directed by Neveldine & Taylor.

“How do you not kill the guy on the toilet?” - Eric On the season 14 finale of We Hate Movies, the gang welcomes actor/comedian/podcaster/author/movie-lover and all-around good guy, Paul Scheer to the show to chat about the sleepy, yet kinda crazy monster movie, Arachnophobia! Why isn’t this movie just about John Goodman’s exterminator character? Why couldn’t the major spider at the end be a huge, dumb puppet monster? How funny is it that this movie doesn’t care about those kid characters at all? Why couldn’t we see that dumb sheriff eat shit on-screen? Why would you uproot your whole family without being absolutely certain you have that job, Jeff Daniels? And you better believe we’re marveling at all the Seinfeld alums in this! PLUS: Just watch Shatner in Kingdom of the Spiders instead of this. Arachnophobia stars Jeff Daniels, Harley Jane Kozak, Julian Sands, Stuart Pankin, Brian McNamara, Mark L. Taylor, Henry Jones, Peter Jason, James Handy, Roy Brocksmith, Kathy Kinney, Mary Carver, Frances Bay, and John Goodman as Delbert McClintok; directed by Frank Marshall.  This episode is brought to you in part by Rocket Money!

“They always have to act like they’ve been through a civil rights march for nudity” - Chris on creepy movie guys On this week’s episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza goes to Comic Book Town as we welcome back our good bud, New York Times columnist, Jamelle Bouie to chat about a real landmark motion picture, 2000’s X-Men! How fantastic is it that the movie creates this entire world of mutants and what the state of things are and still runs under two hours? Has there been a better cast pairing than Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen? Why did they need to include D-level mutant, Toad? Is Xavier charging these students for all that school merch? What’s up with the X-Men refusing to install railings in the Cerebro chamber? And isn't it wild how great can these movies be when the creators have respect for the intelligence of the audience?
