Bird Box & Bad Times at the El Royale

NFL playoffs! Go Rams! Go Eagles! (we're biased) 

As always, there's nerd news aplenty! Real life Bond villain Mads Mikkelsen stars in Netflix's Polar, another film about a hitman.. woo... Another podcast, another Captain Marvel segment! There's a new trailer, so there are new opinions! The Venom sequel gets greenlit, and we're stuck at a yellow light about it! All this news and more! 

The main course this time around revolves around two polar opposites - a Netflix pop culture phenomenon and a box office flop that's a cult success... Of course we're talking about Bird Box & Bad Times at the El Royale! Unfortunately we saw Bird Box, but surprisingly we didn't hate it as much as we thought we would! Sandra Bullock -1, Pop! Pop! - 0. On the flip side of this coin, Bad Times premiered in October of last year and we finally just saw it! We love writer/director Drew Goddard, and. We. Love. This. Movie. So. Damn. Much! Tune in to find out why!
