The boys start off with a court session and then head into box office news before really getting into the show and talking about some sequels and the state of DC movies. Garfunkel and Oates have been signed to create a show for IFC, and both Brian and Jacob are a little too happy. The guys spend a lot of time on JJ Abrams revelations and what is in…

Most of the time it's action, horror, or sci-fi that is reviewed for The Gorram Nerd Hour, but Jacob couldn't help himself with Joss Whedon's new adaptation of a classic Shakespeare play filled with Whedon regulars from all of his former TV series. So what did Jacob think of the movie? Listen and find out. Please follow us on Twitter at www.twitter…

It's that time again, boys and girls, a time of wonder and amusement and lots of fucks. That's right, The Gorram Nerd Hour is back! The Emmys went down without a hitch this weekend, and Breaking Bad was a big winner. So was Modern Family, but Jacob seems a little confused by this. Burn Notice and Dexter finished their respective runs, and Jacob was…

Bad Milo - a man has a creature living in his ass that likes to come out and kill people. Sounds like a Troma production. But the execution was far from it. Filled with a great cast and very bizarre premise it could either be good or bad. Which side of the fence did Jacob fall on? Listen and find out. Please follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/…

The boys bury the top story yet again, but we’ll start with it first in the synopsis: Justin Bieber and Batman vs. Superman. What has the world come to when this is a believable rumor? Avatard 2 might have its new villain. Maybe. Lucas Black and the Fast and Furious franchise? James Wan has bitten the hand that has feed him for so long. AMC has ann…

Over the years, Chucky has been a character that people identify with horror in the same way as Freddy, Jason and Michael. He is an icon of horror movies. Does he deserve to be? Find out what Jacob thinks when you hear him review all five Chucky movies in this extended review episode in anticipation for the next installment, Curse Of Chucky. Please…

The boys start the episode with an audible and then get into some crazy news form the Czech Republic. Thanks for that, Evolution Films. Ant-Man has a new release date and it’s sooner than we thought. Ian McKellen married Patrick Stewart over the weekend (yes you read that right). Pippi Longstocking does indeed have a sex tape, and it will have dist…

When Jacob was a boy, there was nothing he loved more than playing with his G.I. Joe action figures, watching horror movies and the films of Chevy Chase and Steve Martin. Today Jacob reviews the 1983 film "The Man With Two Brains" starring Martin. It's a film about a brain surgeon, his evil wife and a brain in a jar. Does this movie hold up now tha…

This week the guys start with, wait for it… More remake news! Yeah! They then review Jim Carrey’s career, and he is judged to be left wanting. Fast and Furious 7 has yet another casting announcement, and so does FanFicty Shades of Grey! A movie finished in 5th place this past weekend at the box office, and neither Jacob or Brian had ever heard of i…

Jacob has seen his fair share of bad movies. He even sat through Ankle Biters, a movie about midget vampires. So it's a very special day when a big budget movie comes along with an A list cast not directed by Roland Emerich that he would say he loathed. That day has come. Go listen for yourself. Please follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/gorram…

The boys kick things off with a couple follow up stories from the past couple weeks before moving into this week’s news. Of course they talk about BatFleck and the new Bourne rumblings, but the news that Brian is most excited about, well, you’ll have to listen to find out. Lots of stuff about Breaking Bad and its crew has come to light. Judd Apatow…

Do you like Die Hard? Do you like it when the White House gets blown up? Don't answer that second question, or you'll get put on a watch list. Do you like movies that think they can do Die Hard better than Steven Seagal did with Under Siege? If so, then this movie is for you! If watching a movie that rips off everything you used to love about actio…

The boys start the show with a little bit of narcissism. But what else have we come to expect? Anyway, into the meat and potatoes of the show, lots of movie news including casting for Guardians of the Galaxy. What is going on with the release date for Star Wars, and why are strange and mysterious trailers for a new Bad Robot movie showing up? Yeah!…

Evil Dead, as a trilogy, is something Jacob has always held sacred. When he first heard that a remake was finally moving forward, he nearly flew to Hollywood to bitch slap Sam Raimi for committing such a horrible act. Was his opinion swayed after seeing the film by Fede Alvarez with script polishes by Diablo Cody? Listen and find out. Please follow…

Welcome to Volume 3 of the Gorram Nerd Hour with Brian Smith and Jacob O’Neal! Fifth Bourne movie? Sharknado 2? Raven Symone? Oscar news? Avatar? All this movie news and the boys go on more rants than Dennis Miller when he was funny. Why on Earth are we getting more remakes? At least this one has the original creators helping. Superman/Batman rumor…

Twentieth Century Fox has had the rights to Fantastic Four for years. It's no secret they mismanaged the franchise. That's why they're rebooting already. But back in 1994, Roger Corman's production company owned the rights. They were about to lapse and they had to get a movie into production immediately to ensure they didn't lose them. Rather than …

Jacob and Isaac have returned from their self-imposed hiatus to discuss more Star Trek. This time their target is Star Trek Into Darkness. They waited long enough to record that they feel it's safe to spoil plot points of the movie... and a major one comes two minutes in, so be warned. They also discuss Star Trek Continues, Of Gods And Men, Renegad…

Not too long ago, Jacob had the chance to talk to both producer Andrew Van Den Houten and actor Daniel Manche about Jug Face and other projects. So it was only fitting Jacob should finally get to review the movie. Jug Face is the story of a backwoods cult who worship a pit in the ground. When the pit requires a sacrifice, a mentally challenged man …

When we last left the Dynamic Duo, they were both lamenting about the lack of new material for the show. Will this week fare any better for the Trained Monkey and Mr. Rapey Face? The Box Office report makes Jacob angry, and you don’t want to see him when he is angry. Actually this episode has Jacob angry through almost the entire thing, and Brian l…
