In Episode 95, I share my Nerdy Review of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway — a continuation set years after the films, now focused on the next generation (Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy).
I talk standout performances, why this show isn’t a musical, the time-jumping story, and the mind-blowing stage magic (wand battles, floating moments, eerie Dementor effects, and seamless stagehand choreography). If you love theater craft and behind-the-scenes breakdowns, this one is for you.

In Episode 94 of The Silly Nerdy & Wordy Podcast, I finally dive into F1 The Movie with a late but passionate nerdy review as part of my Blu-ray rewatch series.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), this film delivers immersive Formula One realism, real F1 locations and teams, and a powerful score by Hans Zimmer that elevates the racing experience.
Starring Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, and Javier Bardem, F1 The Movie blends character-driven storytelling with real Formula One access, authentic sound design, and standout racing cinematography.
From the Abu Dhabi final race to the in-car camera work and sound design, this episode breaks down why F1 The Movie became one of my favorite films of 2025.

In Episode 92 of the Nerdy Re-Watch series, I revisit The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring – Extended Edition, stepping back into Middle-earth to explore why this film still holds up today.
From the sound design of the One Ring, the cinematography by Andrew Lesnie, the iconic score by Howard Shore, and the extended Shire moments, this episode focuses on the craft behind the film and some story detilas that get more context.
This is a another film in my nerdy rewatch series looking at the details that make Fellowship timeless — and why it remains so many people including myself love this 1st Lord of The Ring film.

In this Late Nerdy Trailer Reaction, I break down the newly released trailer for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, the next chapter in the Hunger Games franchise.
I talk about the trailer’s marketing strategy, music and sound design, callbacks to the original films, and how this story focuses on Haymitch’s origins—a character fans first met in the original Hunger Games films. I also briefly touch on how release dates can change and why that matters in today’s film industry.
This is a short, focused nerdy trailer reaction, not a full review—but there’s plenty to unpack from this trailer alone.

Gloria Reuben appears on Boston Blue and Elsbeth at the same time — two CBS shows, two different characters.
In this Nerdy Note, I explain how shared networks, filming locations, and supporting roles make this possible.

In today’s episode, I share my early thoughts on the new CBS series Boston Blue — including how its blended family structure, character dynamics, religion, and story beats compare to Blue Bloods. I break down the detectives, the attorney storyline, the leadership roles, and how the show keeps things fresh while still honoring familiar crime-family drama elements.
I also highlight the production connections between both shows, including Donnie Wahlberg’s involvement, and the unique crossover details like Gloria Reuben’s work on Elizabeth. If you enjoy behind-the-scenes insights and thoughtful TV analysis, this is a fun first-impressions episode.
Thank you to everyone that is listening & watching, I really appprecite it.
