Well, our Wix site now wants $17/month for us to maintain our (once popular) blog. We don’t really think it’s worth the cost, so until we find something else, we’re going to post our Nerdery Movie Night reviews here.

So buckle up. 🧵 1/10

November Nerdery Book Club, selected by me and discussed over traditional Vietnamese food at Pho Saigon (so delish).

A super strong first half and a soap operatic eye-roll-a-thon in its second act. We don’t understand the hype around the book.

We should’ve taken the advice we posted last week: read the book, then watch the movie. Some things just don’t translate.

It’s the Nerdery Movie Night #272!

In our years of doing this, The Nerdery Movie Night has never fallen on our anniversary!

We’ve spent at least the last six anniversaries celebrating the same way: a bottle of champagne, exchanging of gifts, passing out candy, & watching a horror movie.

Happy nine years of marriage to us!

October Nerdery Book Club, selected by Dave and discussed over seafood (natch) at Fish N Grill.

Moments of terror are neutered by odd narrative choices, and the story within a story doesn’t even remotely work. We can’t believe this won a Bram Stoker!

I last saw Belly on the King tour - May 12, 1995 (which I’m fairly certain was senior prom night). I saw them again tonight… in the *same* venue (although it was WUST Radio Music Hall then… now it’s the “new” 9:30 Club). They played “King” in its entirety and a set of faves and b-sides. So fun!

Why do I have such a visceral (read: unpleasant) reaction to Rachel Zegler? Anyway. She wasn’t alive for Y2K. Nor was most of the cast. Still…

It’s #thenerderymovienight 269!

My grandmother immigrated here from Germany in the 1950s. My favorite city in Europe also happens to be the birthplace of my two dearest German friends. It felt like time to honor all my favorite Germans. And also the city of Berlin - I swear I lived there in a past life.

I’m old enough to remember Liz Phair singing about a “fresh young Jimmy jamming, slamming, ramming in me” followed ten years later by a song about someone’s “hot white cum”. The difference is we don’t know the man who Phair is singing about.

We definitely have a name & face for this redwood tree 🤢

September Nerdery Book Club, selected by me and discussed over tacos from Karla on the Go food truck.

Like the best memoirs, The Outrun is written with a clinical detachment that focuses less on drama and more on a powerful journey. Stunning.

Bow down to a fascist, get canceled.

We encourage you to end your relationship with Hulu/Disney/ABC, too.

Sorry that we will now miss Jeopardy on Hulu. @kenjennings.bsky.social is a national treasure, always and forever.

30 year high school reunion this evening solidified the fact that I am old and can’t hear jack shit in a bar with loud music playing. Had a ten minute conversation with someone and heard roughly 15% of it. Just nodding and enthusiastically agreeing to god knows what.

Dave & I are far from rabid Harry Potter fans, but when Krispy Kreme announced their themed donuts, we were intrigued.

We bought all four today. What follows is our reactions/ratings (out of 5 ⭐️) of each.
