Sex Nerdist: My Spleen is Bigger Than Yours

You know those cancer movies where the main character goes in for a routine doctor’s visit and gets really bad news? Well, I’ve got the light-hearted buddy movie version of that story, starring me and a giant spleen-cyst named Igor. This would be the reason I haven’t been on Nerdist for a while spilling my [...]

The TARDIS is Bigger on the Inside, So is Your iPhone!

Well fellow nerds, thanks to the addition of folders the iPhone is now even BIGGER on the inside. So about a month ago, I was in search of a new background, and thought, “Hmm, What would a Timelord do with an iPhone?” and the answer is probably “Nothing, I have a sonic screwdriver.”

Scott Pilgrim vs. The Expendables

Nerds, we have failed miserably! Scott Pilgrim vs. The World came in 5th this weekend behind The Expendables, Eat, Pray, Love, The Other Guys and Inception. While I’m excited by the staying power of Inception, I’m very upset that the two most fun films of the year did not take the top two spots.

The Same Guys

Some weeks are better than others are for new releases. I had no intention of seeing Step Up 3D, so I thought I’d take a recommendation from one of the readers (Thanks, The Drummer from Def Leppard’s Arm) and check out The Other Guys. You know, the latest Will Farrell flick, but this time he’s [...]

I’d Call It the MC AC/DC Escher. Get it? GET IT?!

Nerdist Street Team L.A. Needs YOU!

Los Angeles, you are a busy city. You always have something or other going on. This is what makes it so challenging to promote in you (that sounded vaguely gross). Still, I want to make sure that the next Nerdist Podcast LIVE @ Largo is JAMMED to the gills for some good Fred Willard entertainment. [...]

The Prophylactic Princess Primer:
Find the Right Condom for YOU

I’m on a road trip. I’m wearing earplugs. I’m thinking about condoms. Squinting at my screen in the Texan darkness, my little post is turning into an opus. Honestly, I’ve been writing since I cleaned barbecue sauce off my fingers in Memphis. So this week, let’s just get some basics out of the way. We [...]

My Journey into Watch Nerdism

For years now I have been carrying on a very public affair with my wrist watch. Or rather, wrist watches. From my first watch (a movie tie-in from the late 1970′s) to my latest (a Swiss made diver’s chronograph) and every one in between I have simply been fascinated by these little time keeping machines.
