Digimon Adventure (1999) is full of lighthearted humor, especially in the English dub where extra jokes tends to be thrown in. While this remains to be true during the Myotismon Arc, here is where the series demonstrates how serious it can get.
Read MoreThis weekend had Minecraft Live 2020 streamed to Facebook, Youtube, Twitch, as well as their own website. It was a fun event that brought in members of Mojang Studios as well as appearances by content creators who specialize in Minecraft.
Read MoreThe Marvel Cinematic Universe is ready to begin what it has dubbed phase 4 with the release of Black Widow aiming for next May. With three phases already complete, it’s worth looking into what exactly these phases are used to delineate.
Read MoreThe news came out very recently that Sony was working to develop a television series based off the character Silk, presumably to help build out their Spider-Man universe (AKA the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters).
Read MoreThe first arc works as the broad strokes of what this series can be, but it isn’t until the Etemon arc that we begin to really see the details start to be painted in.
Read MoreThe World of Assassination Trilogy of Hitman games is having its final instalment released at the beginning of next year. The first two games in this trilogy have been an absolute joy to play, in no small part because of IO Interactives outstanding work in level design.
Read MoreDigimon Adventure: (2020) is doing a kick ass job as an updated take on the original series. The biggest issue it has is the week to week wait to watch it. So, why not get some extra Digi-goodness in your life by going back to where it all began with a look into Digimon Adventure (1999).
Read MoreA pilot being made doesn’t necessarily mean that is perfect. The best thing about this is that you can learn more about how to do something by looking critically at examples that don’t work as well, than the ones that appear flawless.
Read MoreSpinoffs must be easy to create a pilot for, right? A lot of the world is already established and at least one of the main characters has probably had years of development thanks to whichever show they spun off from. On the surface, these sound like positives, like they give the series a head start over all the original shows that have to create these elements from scratch. Well, it’s not that simple.
Read MoreWhat happens when a TV show is going over budget, but still has more of its season left? Or, conversely, what if the show knows it wants to put more money into a later episode and is looking for ways to save up ahead of time? Usually either of these could mean trying to come up with an episode that sticks primarily to pre-existing sets (preferably only a single one), and uses few characters or extras who are not already paid as series regulars.
Read MoreCambly, the musician behind the awesome theme song for the Unsupervised Nerds Podcast, is working toward his first full length album.
Read MoreIt’s the return of the hour long shows, this time with The Magicians. Specifically looking at how this pilot works in terms of being the start of a serialized show, whereas most everything else I have looked at so far have been either episodic or serial-episodic.
Read MoreBy separating characters into different groups, each with its own main character to follow, it creates the ability to give more time to the minor characters, as well as attention to each of the five Infinity Stones that Thanos has yet to gather. But this also creates its own issue. It isn’t enough to just separate into groups; the stories need to be unified or else the whole movie can feel like just a jumble of disparate elements.
Read MoreIn order to look at how Avengers: Infinity War pulls off this insane task, I’m going to break it into two parts. This first part will be about efficiency of time. I’m going to break down the opening scene of the movie in order to look at just how much is done in a short period.
Read MoreThe Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has pretty much been a fascination of mine ever since Iron Man came out back in 2008.
Somehow, this whole thing started at pretty much the perfect time for me personally.
Read MoreComing back for another pilot, this time with My Hero Academia. That’s right. Switching things up so much that an anime is taking centre stage.
Read MoreI’ve been playing Minecraft off and on for something like seven or eight years at this point. I’ve probably sunk more hours into it than any other game (a number I hope to never be told…). And so, when I started writing about video games on Unsupervised Nerds, this was one that came to my mind fairly early on.
Read MoreWhen the world gets too crazy, when life gets too rough, sometimes it can be nice to take a step back and escape into fiction for a short time. One way I like to do this is with a marathon of particularly fun episodes of shows I love. These aren’t necessarily the best episodes of the series, but they are ones that tend to make me happy.
Read MoreHere is a short story I wrote a few years ago. It was an experiment where I made myself write in different genres. It moves from Arthurian fantasy, to scifi, to high fantasy, to romance. I enjoyed writing it, and I hope you enjoy reading.
Read MoreUnsupervised Nerds is proud to present its newest podcast: The Small Things. This will be a show hosted by myself and my good friend Allison, where we rewatch every episode of How I Met Your Mother and The Office, recapping them and looking for ways the two shows can be compared. The two of us love these shows and are excited to talk about them.
