I’m the Chosen One. And I choose to be shopping–The Beginnings of the VampireVerse

Posted on February 14, 2013 | Leave a comment

Joss Whedon is brilliant. There’s no denying that. And when we think “vampire”, we tend to think about the ones he created for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But most people tend to skip over the movie from 1992 completely. And I personally feel like that’s just tragic. Continue reading →

I’m lost. No, really, I’ve never been to this part of the airport before – Warm Bodies Review

Posted on February 13, 2013 | Leave a comment

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. An undead boy falls tragically in love with a human girl, no one understands what they see in each other, blah blah blah. I’m not talking about a Twilight reboot (thank all that is holy and good). I’m talking about the best zombie flick I’ve seen in a long time: Warm Bodies.url

Opinion Time: Marvel Losing Its Grip-Part Two: Spider-Man

Posted on February 7, 2013 | Leave a comment

Disclaimer: The following is an opinion piece and does not reflect the opinions of all writers of The Nerdicon. I have strong feelings on this subject that I wish to share with you. My opinion has no bearing on yours. I welcome feedback, even if you disagree. I do not mean to bash any of our readers who might be a fan of Marvel comics or other Marvel properties. Opinions are amazing, and I will respect yours if you respect mine. That being said, let’s begin.

Alright, and we are back again for me to gripe a bit more on my disappointment with Marvel comics. Our topic this time? Spider-Man…oh Spider-Man, why does Marvel not respect their flagship character anymore? You would think that with such a popular character they would want to at least keep the fans happy so they don’t leave, but hey, he is arguably there highest selling book sans the X-Men ( I will get to them eventually) and The Avengers.

Animating Joss: A Look at the Pre-Vampire films of a Master

Posted on February 6, 2013 | Leave a comment

There are two really fantastic animated films, not counting Toy Story, that Joss Whedon worked on. Like most of Whedon’s work, up until this past summer, the “mainstream” media either didn’t care, or didn’t like the films. Both films, though, have cult followings, and it’s worth noting that they’re quite in the vein of Whedon films – albeit in different ways than the vampire stories we’re more used to.

A Brief Life Before Buffy: A Look at Pre-Vampire Joss Whedon

Posted on February 5, 2013 | Leave a comment

Hello friends! This particular article is going to be painfully short, and I’m sorry about that. It just so happens that Joss’s career before Buffy Summers came along was less “Joss Whedon” than we’d like to admit. It was filled with working on a TV staff, working as a script doctor, and writing animated films (or at least doing the stories).

Hey everybody!

Posted on January 30, 2013 | Leave a comment

So we’ve got a little something special planned for the entire month of February. While everything else on the planet is full of sappy romance and really bad chocolate, we’re bringing you JOSS WHEDON MONTH. That’s right. A month of nothing but Joss Whedon retrospectives and us talking about how sad we are that we can’t go to the screening of Much Ado About Nothing in Glasgow (because we’re broke college kids). So stay tuned!

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 2 Review

Posted on January 24, 2013 | 1 comment

dkr2Even though this film is not yet available on DVD, Warner Brothers released the film for digital download on Amazon.com, and being the crazy fanboy I am, I had to get it. Boy am I glad I did. I don’t think I could have waited another few weeks for the Blu-Ray release. This, along with Part One, has to be the seminal Batman film, live action or animated and that’s saying a lot.

Saving People, Hunting Things: The 20 Greatest Supernatural Episodes

Posted on January 23, 2013 | Leave a comment

I love Supernatural, but you all know that. I’ve been watching the show for the past seven years or so, and I certainly have a favorite character, a favorite season, and a favorite episode. In fact, I have twenty favorite episodes. So, in honor of “LARP and the Real Girl,” which I’m sure will be a favorite for myself, I’ve completed a list of my very favorite episodes of Supernatural up to this point. Some you might agree with, others you might hate, but they are all my choices.

So, let’s begin.
