Nerd Nexus Video Advent Calendar- Ohhhhhh what a Wookie!
Some things are just horrifying beyond description: the Holocaust, Waco, 9/11, WWII, the Vietnam War and Vanilla Ice’s cinematic abortion Cool as Ice. The following video isn’t in the same ballpark, but it’s definitely playing the same sport. Back in...
Official Dark Knight Rises Trailer
Well nerds, the day you’ve been waiting for has finally arrived. No, you didn’t win that all expenses paid trip to Mars to motorboat the lady with the three cans from Total Recall (you do realise that was just a...
Nerd Nexus Video Advent Calendar- Garbage day!

Nerd Nexus Video Advent Calendar- Jehovah’s Most Secret Witness
The Christmas episode is a time honoured tradition in the sacred annals of television history, an episode where even the most cynical character can learn the true meaning of Christmas/Kwanzaa/Chanukah/Borodin. Last week, Community had one last episode before an extended...
Nerd Nexus Video Advent Calendar- You’ll shoot your eye out!

Nerd Nexus Video Advent Calendar- Yippee Ki-yay Mr. Falcon
It’s not often that a movie redefines two different genres. This flick is one of the greatest action films of all time, and THE greatest Christmas film of all time. It’s a quiet and thoughtful study about the working dynamics...
