Welcome to this week’s Impact Wrestling review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the continued build toward Bound For Glory, with more qualifiers for the X-Division Title Ladder Match. Let’s see if Callis and D’Amore have any surprises planned for BFG, or are they just spinning their wheels in the name […]
For those who are unaware, Tommaso Ciampa was the NXT Champion as 2019 began, a reigning, defending champion who held onto his title belt (a belt he names Goldie) no matter what. As WrestleMania season rolled on, Ciampa realised he needed to get neck surgery. In March of this year, with reluctancy and sadness in […]
Welcome to this week’s 205 Live review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and this brand is being ignored (even more than usual) to make room for attention to be paid to…I forgot my criticism. The WWE sucks. Oooooh. That felt good. At least John Cena isn’t going to appear on this show. Who […]
Written by Michael Green, Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Time to check back in with everyone’s second favourite Blade Runner, Aahna Ashina (that’s a whole lot of the letter A). With this issue she’s only been around for four in total, but she’s become such a great rounded […]
Welcome to this week’s review of SmackDown, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we another WWE Draft, because Vince McMahon never learns. Maybe this time will be different, but I doubt it. Okay, let’s jump into the madness before I get cold feet/a clue. Match #1: Seth Rollins def. Roman Reigns (Disqualification) The […]
It was a dark and stormy night on the crime-ridden streets of Gotham as we made our way… Actually it was more like a drizzly Monday evening on the streets of Manchester, where we made our way to a secret location a few minutes walk from Market Street to take part in a special preview […]
Welcome to this week’s NXT UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the WWE’s rip-off version of Progress/OTT/World Of Sport (the good version)/Insane Championship Wrestling (if you squint real hard) stumbling along helplessly like Mark Wahlberg in San Francisco’s “Rainbow District”. We’ve got enough of very little to talk about, […]
With Jay & Silent Bob Reboot set to begin it’s nationwide US roadshow tour this week, we thought we’d go back in time a little and check out the View Askew universe once again and review some of our favourite Kevin Smith films… First up, Clerks. I’ve been a Kevin Smith fan since I first […]
Stars: Cress Williams, China Anne McClain, Nafessa Williams, Christine Adams, James Remar, Marvin Jones III, Damon Gupton | Developed by Salim Akil Black Lightning is back, and the series is taking a drastic turn in not only the storyline but also the look. Whether it’s the film they are using or how they are shooting […]
I grew up as a Sega kid, but always loved playing the Nintendo first-party original titles, and when I got a Gameboy at the end of the 80s I was immediately hooked. The Legend of Zelda is one of those Nintendo titles that just screams quality and has since 1987 when the very first Zelda […]
Written by Warren Ellis | Art by Bryan Hitch, Kevin Nowlan | Published by DC Comics This was impossible to not pick up. Firstly, well, it’s Batman, currently going through something of a renaissance, with some good books being put out. I imagine with DC Comics now being fully operated and controlled by their corporate […]
Created by Rob Davis | Published by SelfMadeHero | Format: Paperback, 160pp I was, until this week, unfamiliar with these two books. The first two books in Rob Davis’s abstract adventure series that he calls The Motherless Oven Trilogy, completed by the newly released third book in the series, The Book of Forks (review upcoming). […]

The Bump debuted last week, a new TMZ/After Buzz feeling chat-show style program that goes out on YouTube, social-media and the WWE Network each week. I reviewed it here and spoke about how much I liked it, appreciated the fresh feel and new concept, and thought it worked well in an age where FOX is […]
Stars: Divine, Tab Hunter, Edith Massey, David Samson, Mary Garlington, Ken King | Written and Directed by John Waters After his prolific 1970s, enfant terrible John Waters directed only two films in the 1980s, at each end of the decade. They were also his two most mainstream and – relatively speaking – palatable works. One […]
Welcome to this week’s All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Crank Yankers! Okay, this is the second week of Dynamite, so if they blow it then I’ll blow my top. Why do I feel like the female readers (they may not exist) just shuddered at the […]
A fun little game that is best played with friends in a ‘dip in and out’ way, if you are a fan of the original BurgerTime (Data East, 1982), this literally plays like a remastered version with multiplayer added. Good. For those not familiar with this niche food-related genre of gaming, the main gameplay loop […]
Welcome to this week’s NXT review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Chicken Kabobs are pretty damn good. On LA Law, a man eats his wife’s face…with hilarious consequences! Then, on…I just read TV Guide. Sorry. Okay, NXT looks like a winner this week, so let’s see if I’m right/I already know and […]
Stars: M.J. Kehler, Stephen Oates, Michael Worthman, Kimberley Drake, Erin Mick, Meghan Hancock, Allison Moira Kelly, Patrick Foran | Written and Directed by G. Patrick Condon G. Patrick Condon’s feature-length debut Incredible Violence is also written by him, and it’s… well, it’s something. It’s a ferocious, weird and flat-out insane film with a somewhat meta concept […]
Welcome to this week’s Ring Of Honor review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have…no actual matches. What we have are extended clips from the lucha libre stars of CMLL, which means that the ROH TV editors didn’t listen to a word I said last week. Well, they probably don’t read these […]
When it comes to engaging strategic board games, some of the most exciting, intense experiences available can be found when two players face off head to head. Some games are able to accommodate multiple players and yet still appeal to a competitive pairing, but in general, the most satisfying duels are had when a game […]
