Hell On Wheels

Wednesday, June 13th, 2012
With zombies, mad men, and ex-math-turned-meth-dealers garnering most of AMC’s attention, you might have shamefully missed their beautifully shot, gritty-as-dirt western, Hell On Wheels. Commonly referred to (pun intended) as Deadwood Lite, H.O.W. stands on it’s own as a gripping, complex, and violent look at America’s fabled (yet troubled) conquering of the West. The spirited [...]

Conan!

Friday, May 25th, 2012
Nerd City recently had a chance to attend a “Conan” taping, and it was so mind-meltingly awesome it’s hard to describe (but I’m gonna try). Basically, Conan’s studio on the WB lot is a factory of entertainment, pumping out hilarity and music (The Basic Cable Band is unreal, and they had plenty of opportunity to [...]

What the Fuck Happened to Community?

Monday, May 21st, 2012
For those that have not been following the “Community” saga online, rumblings of unrest had been haunting the show (thanks to a well publicized feud with Chevy Chase), recently culminating with Sony’s termination of creator Dan Harmon as show runner. The amazing thing to me (as a long time fan of the show), is how [...]

Teen Wolf!

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012
Ok. I’m just gonna come out and say it. I love MTV’s Teen Wolf. I know. I can barely believe it myself. As a tremendous fan of the original (and even the inferior-but-still-good Too!), I wanted nothing more than to absolutely hate this show. But goddammit, it’s too good (I know you don’t believe me, [...]

Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters

Monday, May 14th, 2012
If there are two things Nerd City likes, it’s cartoons we can watch under the influence of drugs and monsters. That’s why the new Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters is so cool. It’s a cartoon we can watch on drugs WITH monsters. Released in conjunction with a card and online battle game of the [...]

PaleyFest!

Sunday, March 4th, 2012
Celebrating all that is idiot box, L.A.’s PaleyFest is an amazing series of nightly events that celebrate some of the best shows on television. I was lucky enough to attend the “Community” panel, and it was streets ahead. Discussing the show, with a great public Q & A section (always a rocky proposition), the cast [...]

FX’s “American Horror Story”

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011
As October fast approaches, Nerd City is already in a spooky ookie, creepy crawly mood (we usually are).  With the second season of “The Walking Dead” long away (and plagued, pun intended, by production issues), I am particularly pumped for the upcoming FX horror series “American Horror Story”. FX has just released this particularly creepy new [...]
