Today is the six year anniversary of the Screen Nerds Podcast. When I started this podcast back on January 10, 2020, I never expected the journey it has taken. I've discovered and covered a lot of great films. On the horizon is 375th & 400th film reviews for the #podcast! #filmsky

I'm checking out the new film I Was a Stranger today in the theater. Will record a Quick Screen #filmreview for it afterwards. Be sure to give it a listen and share the episode when it drops! #filmsky

Finally got to check out the film Sovereign (streaming on Hulu). Didn't get a chance to see it in the theaters last summer (wasn't playing near me). I wish I had been able to. I would've had it in my top 10 list of 2025

Dec 29th 1386 - The last officially recognized duel was fought in France. Sir Jean de Carrouges fought Jacques Le Gris.

📽️📅 The Last Duel (2021)

3 Screenshots from the movie "The Last Duel" (2021): First, an aerial view of a medieval battlefield set near Paris on December 29, 1386, showing a large gathering of troops and tents surrounded by a winter landscape with a ruined church in the background. Second, a knight in red and silver armor riding a white horse, adorned with striped barding, passing a wall with a fleur-de-lis banner. Third, a knight in blue and silver armor riding a black horse, next to a banner displaying a snake symbol, with a similar medieval backdrop.

Got around to watching the HBO documentary Counting Crows: Have You Seen Me Lately? It's very well done. As a teenager in the 90s, I really enjoyed the music especially the song A Long December. It's still one of my all time favorite songs
