The Nerdist guy who talks about Westeros like it's a real place. Also a noted cheeseburger enthusiast. (Hence the username.)
Proud denizen of the great Commonwealth here, reporting in to say Seth Moulton is among the most detestable Mass pols ever. Would be happy to never hear his name or see his face ever again. But he'll be cashing Fox News checks by February.
The Boston Globe@bostonglobe.com · 18h agoUS Senator Ed Markey is projected to win the often-bitter Democratic Senate primary against US Representative Seth Moulton, according to the Associated Press. trib.al/4P7umEE
Please let me know when you've seen Coyote vs. Acme so we can talk about my favorite moment, the one that almost killed my wife from laughter.
Not fair to keep this one from the masses.
I not only found the nexus of my interests, I got to write about this crossover for my job. Here's my Patriots fan opinion of every NFL team's Disney mascot. nerdist.com/article/disn...
A New England Patriots Fan's Biased Review of Every NFL Team's Disney Mascot
The NFL and Disney gave each team its own Mouse House mascot. We might have made a mistake letting our resident Patriots fan review them.

VERY EXCITED about the movie review I now get to write. Beep beep, baby. Beep beep.
A fun thing you can do if you want to constantly be freaked out by strange noises and vague moving shadows in your own home is let your kid keep the helium balloons from his birthday party for way too long. LOTS OF FUN HERE TWO WEEKS LATER
Wrote about why a relatively small announcement (about a giant broken animatronic) garnered such a huge reaction from Disney World diehards and why they should be excited. #D23
Nerdist@nerdist.bsky.social · 2w agoDisney's announcing that they'll fix Animal Kingdom's broken yeti animatronic is the best possible news for park fans.
:Alys Rivers to me after I spend a single night at Harrenhal: The castle says you gave it nightmares and you have to leave.
AI is just going to end up havings the same fate as the Segway.
I spent #D23 talking to Imagineers about the issues with EPCOT's Imagination Pavilion BEFORE the big Figment/Dreamfinder news, so obviously I have thoughts.
Nerdist@nerdist.bsky.social · 2w agoDisney might be ready to bring back some Imagineering magic back to the Imagination Pavilion.
This is much fairer and even-keeled than you'd expect, but it does layout why House of the Dragon feels so antagonistic to people who love the story but not the show.
Nerdist@nerdist.bsky.social · 2w agoReal talk, does House of the Dragon hate the source material? Let's talk about it youtu.be/wkMbQWr5WUc
I do not know what day it is or what time.
Are there more flight delays in general lately or am I just on an unlucky streak?
Smugglers Gambit coming to Fortnite. Connected with Smugglers Run at Galaxy's Edge at both US Disney parks. Starts tomorrow.
Awwww man, I'm doing it* again. *Thinking about how a major plot point in Joker involves a popular network late night show in the '70s airing camcorder footage of a local New York City open mic night.
At @nerdist.bsky.social I reviewed Ted Lasso season four. Critics got the first five episodes. After a brutal premiere things get better. Not great, sometimes not even good, but better.
Nerdist@nerdist.bsky.social · 4w agoReview: Ted Lasso Season 4 is totally fine. It’s not great or terrible, it’s just fine.
Before its return to Apple TV here's what I wrote about the seeming end of Ted Lasso after the season three finale. nerdist.com/article/ted-...
TED LASSO Succeeded Because of Its Goodness, Even When It Wasn't Good
Ted Lasso's third season wasn't the ending many hoped for, but whether the show was always good, it always succeeded in making us feel good.

I had an idea so dumb I couldn't do anything until I made it real. This isn't even remotely funny, let alone "good" in any possible way. It's just really, really stupid. I'm sort of sorry.
Green Day stinks and the Foo Fighters are rock for people who drive exclusively in the right lane.

I don't really care if anyone likes it or not, but I firmly believe House of the Dragon hates its source material and this week's episode was the last time I look forward to anything it does. nerdist.com/article/hous...
HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Butchered Yet Another Amazing Book Moment
House of the Dragon once again butchered one of the best moments from George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood: Ser Criston Cole's death.

Last second prediction for Marvel's Hall H panel: They bring out the "Latverian witches" who unmask same as RDJ did a couple years ago. Most logical guesses for who they are include Berry, Janssen, and Olsen. Then Cumberbatch, Theron, and Di Martino.
Good trailer, probably going to be a good movie, but I didn't feel anything after watching that trailer. Think it's obvious why. Wrote this last year. nerdist.com/article/has-...
Has the MCU 'Earned' AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY and SECRET WARS?
After The Fantastic Four: First Steps and before Avengers: Doomsday, has the MCU "earned" the arrival of Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom?

I've been thinking about this for months. It's weird, right?
BadgerNoonan@badgernoonan.bsky.social · 2mo agoOdysseus, Odysseus, and Achilles
Seeing some criticism that the Laestrygonians serve no purpose in Nolan's The Odyssey, but they do. Think about what they are, how they work together, and even how they dress in comparison to the giant monster Odysseus meets right before. By the end of the film it's obvious why Nolan included them.
