The Nintendo Entertainment System stands as an iconic symbol of the gaming industry’s evolution and cultural impact. Released in 1985 in North America, the NES revolutionized home entertainment, introducing a diverse array of timeless classics that defined a generation of gamers. From the pioneering platforming adventures of Super Mario Bros. to the intense dungeon crawling […]
2023 has felt like things are starting to get back on track for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic. The year has seen some fantastic films and box office numbers hitting some great heights, in particular that phenomena that was the Barbie and Oppenheimer weekend. It’s clear for the first time, in a long […]
In his latest podcast/interview, host and screenwriter Stuart Wright talks to screenwriter Eleonora Mignoli about “10 Things I Wish They’d Taught Me In Film School.” Which includes: Networking is a long-term game. Getting an agent is just the first step on the ladder. Working in development is probably the best day job for a screenwriter. […]
2022 has been, yet again, another fantastic year for DTV (or more accurately “direct to market”) movies. There have been some great films on VOD, streaming (yes I’m including streaming premieres this year too) and on digital so, as per previous years here on Nerdly, I’ve compiled a list of MY personal top 10 of […]
Gothic legends… haunted houses… ancient curses… vampires and serial killers… welcome to the spine-tingling world of Italian director Mario Bava. In a career spanning four decades Mario Bava inspired multiple generations of filmmakers, from Dario Argento to Tim Burton. For his final feature, Shock starring horror icon Daria Nicolodi (Deep Red), he eschewed the grand […]

Comics are for everyone but the key is finding the right one. Comic Concierge is here to help with that journey, with a range of videos discussing everything from weekly […]
As is obligatory for the start of a new year, it’s time to look back at the sh*t-show that was last year and pick out our highlights of the year… This time round it’s Phil’s Top 10 Action Movies of 2020. Which are, in no particular order: THE 2ND Secret-service agent Vic Davis (Ryan Phillippe) […]
Everybody loves to be creeped out and scared sometimes, right? I mean, even those who aren’t into horror generally still get a kick out of a jump scare or a creepy or spooky moment or two, especially during Halloween-time. So, I thought it might be fun to look at a few video games that are […]
This was difficult, because boy oh boy has Saturday Night Live brought us a mass of talent who have since become mega-stars in movie and/or television. I had to make this list, scrap the list, edit the list, add and take away from the list, and do it all over again before landing on a […]
Everyone who loves horror movies also loves Halloween, right? I mean, aside from the creepy and spooky decor that appears on store shelves across the globe, and all the fun candy that is suddenly available in the shape of brains or eyeballs or the withered hand of a zombie, there’s also the wonderful sales on […]
Well, Royal Rumble has passed us by, WrestleMania is in the distance, SummerSlam is in the rear-view, and so it leaves that final member of the original “Big Four” WWE shows left for the year, with Survivor Series on the horizon for this November. I thought, then, that it might be fun to go back […]
I’ve previously listed my opinions of the ten best WrestleMania matches of the 80s, 90s and 2000s, so I’ll bring things closer to modern day with my list of the ten best WrestleMania bouts of the 2010s. There have been some fantastic matches between the years 2010 and 2019, and it was a tough job […]
I’ve previously given lists here on Nerdly of the Top Ten WrestleMania matches of the 80s and the 90s, so it only makes sense to delve into the ten best Mania matches of the 2000s. So, here, on this list, will be what I feel are the best Mania battles between the years 2000 and […]
Following my list of the Ten Best WrestleMania Matches of the 1990s, I was sent down a rabbit-hole of watching every WrestleMania again and figured it might be cool to do the same for the 80s (and so-on, and so-forth). Now, the 80s doesn’t have as many matches to choose from like the 90s did, […]
Who doesn’t love a creepy novel once in a while, eh? I mean, I know I do. Horror is in my blood and has been for a long, long time, and so it’s only natural that I’m a fan of horror fiction too. I’ve read it for decades, beginning with my childhood, spent reading Point […]
So during this whole awful quarantine situation I’ve found myself watching even more wrestling than before. In the midst of all that wrestling has been my revisiting of lots (and lots) of 90s WWE stuff. I started watching pro-wrestling in 1992 with WrestleMania 8 and so I have many delightful wrestling memories of the 90s, […]
Ok, so we’re going through a very scary, very weird and very unsure time in human history right now. Many of us are staying home, working, and then making sure we have things to focus on. I figured I’d compile a list of ten video games that are big, deep and exquisitely complex that would […]
In a time where many of us are staying indoors if we can, keeping away from people and isolating, there’s a lot of good that can come from letting your mind drift into a film or a television show. There are some great shows out there and I thought it might be cool to highlight […]
One of my favourite things to read, and I’m a big reader, is a good wrestling book. There are a whole bunch of autobiographies out there from a load of wrestlers, and the world of bodyslams and Monday night warfare is not short of a million crazy stories, so these books tend to be jam-packed […]
Wrestling video games have been being released since the 80s. We’ve seen countless titles from a handful of promotions released through the years, with some being lousy, some being so-so, and some hitting those wonderful heights and being stonkingly good. Now, I have played A LOT of wrestling games, but I haven’t played all of […]
As we approach Halloween and the horror movie genre begins to awaken for the folks who perhaps don’t watch it to an unhealthy level like perhaps I do, I thought it might be a bit of fun to compile a TOP TEN of the best horror villains in history. I mean, there’s a lot to […]
