The Nerdery Movie Night #273: Twisters and French Onion Dip Popcorn
In which Dave and I both ape the bad Oklahoma accents in our reviews (a reminder that we do not consult each other or discuss our opinions until we publish). Twinning! Again! French Onion Dip Popcorn Dave: This entire movie was essentially people saying something like “It have a tornado out thar in the soybean field y’all!” Unlike the original Twister , Twisters strikes a weird chord, giving country boy vibes and actual science equal footing as explanatory and predictive for

The Nerdery Movie Night #272: The Thursday Murder Club and Lime & Chocolate Popcorn
Helen & Pierce save the day, and we need to have a chat with the Popcorn Board Lime and Chocolate Popcorn Dave: For our followers who don’t know, I am a big fan of cozy mysteries, and this film was based on the first in a series.

No matter how good they are, they never seem to live up to the magical aura of the original. I was hoping The Outrun would be different since the Orkney Islands are such a presence in the original text and I wa

The Nerdery Movie Night #270: Suspiria and White Chocolate & Pumpkin Pie Spice Popcorn
Splashy gore can't make up for an absolutely insane script. Three cheers for this popcorn, though! White Chocolate & Pumpkin Pie Spice Popcorn Dave: If a film can make several “best films ever” lists with an entirely impenetrable plot and almost incoherent dialogue, then I should get into the horror movie business. While Suspiria is visually stunning, the script makes absolutely no darn sense. Certainly, for its time, the careful attention to the visual effects of the entire
