Episode 186: Hollywood’s Evolution

With online television becoming more important to us, we have to ask – can Hollywood evolve to keep up?

Are Hollywood films dying?

Greetings adventurers, and welcome to this weeks installment of The Surly Nerd! After our prelude, we kick things off in comics where it is the 25 anniversary of IMAGE COMICS and they have one heck of a present in store for us. Marvel is ramping up their new ICEMAN title and it looks to be one cool comic to look forward to. Level one wraps up with some talks about WIZARD WORLD’s expansion and if the massive con-family needs to continue.

Over in games, everything this week is centered around one thing: the celebration of the PLAYSTATION. We have announcements from THE LAST OF US 2 to a huge debate over fighting games. Even games you never cared about like KNACK get some love in this level.

Over in the world of entertainment, ALIENS is out to ruin James’ birthday with their newest announcement. We also break down the top 5 movies of 2016 (according to Google) and get really sassy over the idea that BACK to the FUTURE could be remade. Level 3 winds down with a discussion about diversity in cinema, all thanks to a little movie you might have heard of called ROGUE ONE.

Our epilogue this week is about the evolution of Hollywood, all thanks to paid for television apps such as NETFLIX. As always, we appreciate all our adventurers who listen to the show every week and we look forward to your feedback on what we discuss! (info@thesurlynerd.com!)

Grab a drink and settle on in for this weeks action packed episode of…The Surly Nerd!
