Spoiler warning. If you plan on seeing this movie, (and you should, it's awesome!) I'm not whiting out the spoilery parts. Face it, it's a prequel, you should already know how it ends, it really is the journey that makes it fantastic in this case.

The Movie
I keep trying to write this post over and over again, trying to find the words to describe this movie even the slightest bit objectively, but I can't, so I am so very sorry. You're getting full on fangirl mode here. I can't help it, I'm thinking about things in the movie, and characters and it's like I'm a little kid again, reading the Oz books for the first time.
Story this time is going to be short, since this is supposedly a direct prequel to The Wizard of Oz, I didn't go in blank slate like usual. The story is basically the Wizard, a circus magician named Oscar Diggs, Oz for short, is running away from a mess he created in his hot air balloon, and accidentally ends up in a tornado. He arrives in Oz, where he meets Theodora. She takes him to the Emerald City, meeting a flying monkey along the way. Oz saves the monkey from the lion about to eat him, and Finley swears a life debt, joining the party. They make it to the palace awaiting him, the wizard of the prophecy, and he meets Evanora, Theodora's sister. Evanora tells him to get the riches he needs to kill the wicked witch who poisoned her own father, the king, to assume the throne before being chased out.
So he sets off on his quest to break the wicked witches wand and restore order. On the way, they rescue a China Girl(not named in the movie or imdb), and though Oz wants her to go the safe path back to the Emerald City, she refuses and adamantly demands to go on with him. They finally find the witch, who turns out to be the good witch Glinda. She tells him the full truth, and we find that Evanora is the real wicked witch. She turns her sister evil by twisting the truth to hurt her feelings enough to eat an enchanted apple that will wither her heart and thereby destroy all emotions. This apple also makes her green and super evil.
From here on, the story is just preparation for the upcoming battle and the battle itself between good and evil.
There are so many good things about this movie, between the references to the books and movie that came before, to the amazing scenery in the background, cameos by Bruce Campbell and Ted Raimi? Come on, what's not to love? The only two things I found it lacking in, were the constant attempts on his life, it gets so suspenseful that he's going to die several times, but we all know he's not going to die, at least not in this movie. Second thing, I know it's supposed to focus on the three main witches in the original story and the movie, but I would have very much appreciated some passing comment at least on Locasta, Good Witch of the South. I suppose they just merged her with Glinda, seeing as Glinda kisses Oz on the forehead for protection before going up against the witches in the final battle. I loved that touch.
Final verdict is that this is an amazing movie, and good for anyone no matter their level of Oz fandom, only exception is young children, it does get scary several times and it is rated PG for a reason.
So one of the things you'll start to realize is my focus on story in these thoughts on movies posts. I don't consider myself much of an expert in other fields that reviewers tear apart, but I have done CGI work and video once. It's not that easy and it takes time to create something awesome. Underneath all the pretty-ness though, is a story trying to be told. That's what I try to focus on, since without a good story foundation and dialogue, all the best CGI and effects won't mean much more than keys jangled in front of a toddler's face. With that being said, on to the previews. Changing things to show all the previews in every post now instead of linking to other posts I'd shown them in already.
Iron Man 3
What more needs to be said? Seeing this one opening weekend.
Now You See Me
I want to see this one just to find out what the twist is.
G.I. Joe:Retaliation
Not sure what can be said about this one.
The Croods
New trailer gives us a bit more info on the movie than before, loving the sloth named belt, so cute.
Oblivion
Now I've said this looks like an interesting movie before, but I had a thought while watching the trailer tonight. Now, Tom Cruise is a man named Jack, and women are screaming his name as he or they are in danger. Anybody else seeing links to Legend that aren't there? I can just see the fanfics now about him being a descendant of Jack and Lily.
Pacific Rim
Tayron's dying to see this one, so I'll be seeing it too and letting you all know if it resembles Evangelion as much as the trailer hints.
Man of Steel
I'm just saying this now, unless nothing else besides graphic horror comes out the week this does, I'm not going to go see this movie in theaters. I might see it after it comes out on DVD, that's just my opinion.
Time for our feature presentation.
Taking a moment to talk about the pretty things first, before getting to the story. The CGI on the giants was superb, we saw it in 2D, but some parts with giants grabbing the people and getting right up in the camera, I can tell it would have looked awesome in 3D. Just the insane amount of detail that went into this one giant's close-up, where you could see all the pores on his nose, just perfect. The actors....some of them stood out more than others. Nicholas Hoult did an admirable job as a noble minded farm boy who likes rescuing damsels in distress no matter what their position in life and wants to go out and have adventures far away from the life he leads now. He kind of reminds me of a cross between Aladdin and Belle. Isabelle, played by Elanor Tomlinson, is very much like Princess Jasmine, wanting to escape from her gilded cage and upcoming marriage to Roderick, played by Stanley Tucci. Roderick is very much the evil guy here, planning to use the magic seeds he ruthlessly acquired and crown he stole to rule all of the kingdoms. Moving on to Ewan McGregor. Not sure how to explain his character. He's a noble knight who seems to be prepared for everything, but it just seems to me he hams it up like he's knowingly in a bad movie and having the best time of his life. I can't exactly put my finger on it, but he's actually one of my favorite people in the movie for his take on the character. Almost like he's the secondary comic relief after the first one dies.
Storytime. I'm going to write about some of the important-ish plot points and story lines as well as favorite lines, then do a bit of analyzing.
So the movie opens up with Jack, then his father reading to him, the story of the Giants up the beanstalk that happened hundreds of year ago. About how some mages enchanted seeds to climb up to heaven. Though instead of finding heaven they find giants that go on a rampage, and ravage the countryside. The king at the time, Eric, killed a giant and melted down his magic heart into a crown, which somehow gives him control over giants. He forces them to go back to their world in the sky before chopping down the beanstalk connecting the worlds. The story at this point switches back and forth between Jack and Isabelle as they are told this same story in different places, Jack's father telling him he can be a hero like the stories, and Isabelle's mother telling her she's the descendant of the Great King Eric, and she can be great too.
Skip forward to 10 years later, Jack's Father is dead and his uncle forces him to sell their horse and cart so they have money to fix the house and live. Going into town Jack wanders into a play happening about the Legend of the Beanstalk we heard before. (Warwick Davis the the narrator in the play. awesome!) His path crosses with Isabelle's for the first time as men harass her, so he comes to her rescue being the nice guy he is. Guards show up and he realizes she's royalty and continues on to sell his horse. Meanwhile, a monk steals the seeds from Roderick and gives them to Jack since Jack will be able to get out of the city and to the Abbey much easier than the monk. When Jack gets back to the farmhouse he lives in with his uncle, we get cuts back and forth between him and the princess, both being lectured on their place in life and what they should and should not do.
Hilarious line here, While trying to question the monk on where the seeds are, Roderick's sidekick Wicke kills him. When Roderick asks if anything was said, Wicke replies with 'No, he wouldn't spill the beans.' All of this guy's lines ate hilarious as he's meant to be the main comic relief.
So Isabelle runs away again to advance the plot and finds herself at Jack's house. They dance around the fact that they both know who she is for a bit before the beanstalk comes up through the house and carries it up to the world above. Jack isn't in the house like in all the stories however, he fell out and wake up the next morning surrounded by the king's army. A small rescue party is formed with Jack, Elmont, Roderick, Wicke and a handful of guards you know are going to die on their journey to show how hard and treacherous it is. The main characters finally get to the main keep where the giants are keeping Isabelle captive. The giants start fighting amongst themselves to get to see who eats the princess when Roderick saunters in, wearing the crown. He reveals his plan to the giants on ruling the world, and Isabelle is transferred to the kitchen to be cooked for supper along with Elmont.
Our heroes escape from the keep, Jack and Isabelle start down the beanstalk while Elmont stays behind to kill Roderick and take the crown to keep the giants from following them.
(here there be spoilers. scroll down if you want to skip and read my final thoughts, highlight if you want to know how the story ends.)
The first part of his plan works, but General Fallon, the two headed giant voiced by Bill Nighy, gets to the crown first and wears it like a ring to rule the giants and go invade the earth below.
While all of this is happening above, King Brahmwell gives the order to cut the stalk down to protect his people. Our heroes narrowly escape dying, and all is well with the world. Until Fallon finds the pouch of seeds Roderick took from Jack earlier, and plants them to grow down and invades the countryside. Jack, finally reunited with his horse, sees the giants coming and warns everyone shortly before the attack. They make it to the castle and fight against Fallon one last time before defeating him, and talking the crown to send the giants away once more. The movie comes full circle with Jack telling their children about how they won against the giants.
The best part of the movie though has to be this ending scene, where the story of the Giants is told and retold like a game of whisper down the alley, with parts being changed and forgotten until it resembles the story we all know today. The visual behind this is the crown being gilded and reshaped and altered to suit each king's vanity, until it comes to be the crown jewels, now on display with schoolchildren taking a tour.
Now that you know the story, what are my thoughts on it? Well, most of it was predictable and Disney-like, but that doesn't necessarily make it bad. The story was fully realized and well written, I don't feel like I wasted my money seeing it. All in all, it's a great movie to see with your family and I would recommend it to anyone into fairytale movies. It reminds me a bit of the Syfy original shows Tin Man and Alice. Very similar even though it takes place in the past and connects the real world with fantasy.
Just got another package in the mail, squee! Again not filming an unboxing, so hopefully you enjoy this pic post with both sets of my feelings as I go through the awesome prizes(as always) in this month's box. Sorry in advance for all the non-words and extreme or excess punctuation, trying to get my enthusiasm on paper as simply as possible without a ton of huge words.
Funny side story, the mailman doesn't knock when we have packages delivered. So I'm sitting here watching something with Tayron when the mail comes. I hear the outer door open and close after something is put down. I quickly open the door to see the Loot Crate box there, and the mailman, still going down the stairs, turns and semi-apologizes for not having anything else for us today. Here I'm looking at him like, 'wha-? This is all I want.'
First shot, the unopened box.
Nice new black box this month.
Open the box and you get tips for sharing your awesome prize with the internet.
Also everything is covered by a nice colored blue shirt. Whatever could the shirt be hiding?
Eeee! The Tardis Prime shirt I've been eyeing online for a while now. Love it!!!!
Tayron holding it up for the camera, unable to look away from the television. Still loving the bowtie and sonic gun, so awesome! I'm thinking even though it's my size, Tay will be sneaking it out of my closet to wear. Shirt courtesy of GraphicLab tees.
Underneath the shirt, the first thing I saw was this beauty. Mega Man Cool Rush scented air freshener.
Trying to figure out where to hang this, freshener from Epic Scents.
The next thing I saw was this Tetris Wall Heart, so cool!
My second reaction almost distracted me from the rest of the box, as I tried to figure out where I can put this. Graphic from Walls360.
This one had initial mixed reactions. I pick it up, and see the LootCrate side first. Turn it around, and it's a shark with a frickin' laser beam on it's head, oh my goodness and more squeeing.
Awesome Shark Drink Cooler from Loot Crate Labs themselves. Already know what I'm using this for, going to put it around the can holding my paintbrushes, so it's right in a sweet spot on my crafting table.
These next two items had me laughing so hard.
The Bacon Lip Balm from J&D sounds delicious, as do all of their other products. I don't wear lip balms or lipstick, but I'd make an exception for this one. The Caffeinated Brain Bits from Harcos Labs struck me as hilarious and would be a neat accessory or add-on for a zombie event like cosplay, movie night or game night.
As always, in every Loot Crate is this card explaining the items, the connection and where they came from. I love the writers behind this marketing tool with their descriptions of the items and stories.
Final shot of everything.
Final thoughts? The theme is fantastic with the Doctors of Who, Light and Evil being represented and Loot Crate just keeps getting better and better with more amazing items every month. I can't say how much I love this company and the marketing behind it, this box introduced me to some new shops/sites with great products that I'll be getting in the future. If you haven't signed up already you definitely should.
One of the things I'm starting to like about my goal for movies this year, is that I'm taking risks and chances I normally wouldn't take. The past 3 movies I've seen, would normally be ones I'd wait and catch on dvd if a friend said it was any good. This time around, I'm the one catching the good movies and it makes me happy.
On to the Trailers!
Admission
Looks like an interesting movie, on my possible see list.
World War Z
Nothing to say here that hasn't been said already.
Dark Skies
Tayron will probably end up seeing this one, I'm not so sure myself.
The Last Exorcism Part 2
Another Tayron movie. We'll have to see if he'll want to put his two cents in.
Oz the Great and Powerful
Nothing to say here, I knew I'd be going to see this the moment I saw the China girl, I knew this would be a legit movie.
The Great Gatsby
Jack the Giant Slayer
This one looks insteresting, another I'll be seeing in the theater.
Moving over to the movie now
As someone asked yesterday, this movie does seem like something right off the CW, with their lineup of teen shows, but seeing as I don't watch the CW, and don't normally watch teen flicks, I can't say if it's similar to other movies or not. Also, blank slate going into movies, remember?
If you want to know more about the story, I'd recommend reading the book like I'm doing, or you can go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beautiful_Creatures_(novel)
So the movie opens up with our main character Ethan providing an opening monologue about the setting they are in, Gatlin SC, and what he wants from life. He talks about dreams and dying, and at times the monologue is quite humorous. He meets up with his friend to go to school, and even though I'm not a teen anymore, I hear them talk all the time at my work and their dialogue does seem natural for two teen boys, even with them spouting more exposition. The girls talking on the other hand, is still believable for where they are and how they were raised, I just find all the Christian preaching, complaining, and yelling out prayers in the movie annoying and obnoxious.
After some hilarious dialogue with our other main character Lena, where he talks about what could have happened at the end of the Titanic movie, they go to her house. Here we meet the reclusive uncle, Macon Ravenwood. From the dialogue in the trailer, and from early dialogue here, I thought his reasons for keeping her away from him were stupid. It's like, your dark side wants to kill humanity, so let us keep you away from them, and keep you only around crazy-butt casters so you choose to stay god and protect humanity? That sounds stupid. The movie redeems itself later though, giving more info and dialogue that she shouldn't fall in love with a human based on some crazy ancestor who couldn't keep her marbles together.
And the uncle used to be a dark caster, what? So Male Casters can be in control of themselves, while Female Casters don't have control over themselves? But they are more powerful because of it? I'm a bit confused, to be honest I never read the books, just picked the first one up after the movie yesterday and reading as soon as possible, maybe it's explained more there.
Serafine is totally on the crazy train to awesomeness here, no lie, I was sure she'd 'die' in the movie, but actress Emma Thompson went all out and and was totally convincing as an insane caster who left her humanity behind long ago. Now we come to the dinner scene from the trailer, and it is amazing. The practical effects were superb, and no green screen which is impressive. I love the one relative is just sitting there eating like this happens all the time.
Another joke I loved was when Ethan has this whole big speech about how you can change your fate, and destiny doesn't control you, you control your destiny. Then they go on a date to see 'Finale Destination 6.' Most of the rest of the notes here on out get spoiler-y, so I'll end the thoughts here. All in all, it's a good movie, the few bad things I thought about it were done on purpose to prove a point like Ethan's ex-girlfriends character and how she's annoying all the time. If you have a chance, check it out in theaters, or at the very least, grab the dvd. I'd be interested in watching the sequel since there are a series of books in this line.
edit: I've finished the first book and moved on to Beautiful Darkness. I liked the book, the movie is very different at parts with some things changed to edit for time constraints, but some things were completely invented just for the movie it seems. I'm going through to try and finish all the novels in this series in case they're borrowing from other books again, like in the Hobbit.
I don't have much to say on this yet, I just finished writing the post on the movie and haven't been able to do more than skim it, but here's one of my favorite pages so far.
Oracle of Ages Nayru concept art.
My love affair with the Zelda 'verse began with the Oracle of Ages. Same goes for my love of Nintendo, it all started with that game. Up until around my 15th or 16th birthday, I only really had a pc for gaming. We did have a gameboy, but it and the games we had for it were somebody else's. (It's complicated) I never had consoles to be nostalgic over these days, since the only experience I had with them were from a game here or there at a friend's house. I wasn't that interested in any of the games or consoles back then to tell the truth, I had a state of the art pc and most of the latest and coolest games for it at the time. Then the Christmas right after my birthday, I got a Gameboy Color. No games, just the system. Using some of the money I had gotten for the holiday, I went into the local EB Games store to look at games available to play. Out of all the new games there, Oracle of Ages caught my eye, looking like the most interesting game out of a seemingly boring lineup. So I bought it and took it home. About a week later I was back to buy Seasons, since I had so much fun playing through Ages. From there I moved on to other Nintendo games, getting into Pokemon as hard as Zelda, and lesser into Mario and Kirby, but still into Nintendo games.
So I'll be spending the rest of the evening reading this book and looking into it, but As a erson who loves the art of cosplay, I have to say the detail they show in the pictures is a great for helping with creating a cosplay from the Zelda universe.
On to the fun stuff. Here we have a mini collection of Zelda themed crafts and Etsy listings for your enjoyment.
I like writing ideas and thoughts in little notebooks to create things with them later, this notebook inspires me to paint one of my own. Hylian Notebook from YumeStyle.
I lucked out again with choosing this movie to see this week. Trying to see at least one movie a week this year, I'm bound to see some not so good films, but luck still holding out. Preview time! In addition to the previews linked to below, we also had A Good Day to Die Hard, Beautiful Creatures, and Safe Haven, all linked to and talked about in last week's Hansel & Gretel post
Monster University
This one looks interesting, not much to say about it, I'm probably going to see it when it comes out.
The Host
To be honest, I haven't read the book, and so far I'm not interested in seeing the movie.
Oblivion
This one looks intriguing and one I'm also going to try and see.
Now You See Me
I have this feeling that the story shown in the trailer isn't really the main point of the movie. That being said, I look forward to seeing this movie and finding out what really happens.
Tyler Perry's Temptation
I'm not sure what to say about this one. It looks very well done with a solid story and some great actors, I just normally don't like or watch movies in this genre. If you do, you should definitely go see it when it comes out, it looks like a very good movie and worth the money.
And now onto Warm Bodies.
Now when I go to watch movies, unless it's a sequel, prequel, or direct remake/reboot of another movie, I don't go in connecting it to anything else. I have seen zombie movies before, and have read countless stories of zombie lore, so I know how there are many different interpretations and reboot points in time where certain stories originated and other pieces of lore fade into obscurity. The point I'm trying to make is that I'm going into this movie with brand new eyes, and not mad that they retcon or change how zombies think, act and change. People shouldn't compare it to certain other movies which 'originated' the zombie tropes in movies these days. If you go into this movie thinking like that, I know you're going to hate it. If you go into this movie thinking anything at all, think of it as Zombie Romeo and Juliet. I had suspicions when I found out their names are R and Julie, but didn't think anything else into it.
So the movie starts with R monologuing about his life, glossing over the fact nobody knows how it started or what happened to cause the zombie outbreak, and how losing hope turns you into a Bony. Some of his insights are hilarious and true to life as we know it now, going through life. For some reason most of the zombies shown in the movie wander around the airport, and R lives in an airplane much like Ariel's grotto, full of human things like records and a record player, bobbing head dog, and for some reason a Stereoscope. He collects these things when he and a pack of zombies go out hunting to find humans to eat. I found it interesting when he explained why they eat humans and why zombies always go for the brains. I know a lot of people didn't like that they see the deceased's life and regain a bit of humanity for a few moments, to feel alive again before going back to the existence they knew before. I'm going to take a step away from not connecting the movie to anything else to make a connection. Sorry. I like that they connected the new zombie meme of eating brains with the older zombie meme of eating salt to bring back your memories of your former life and death, to make something new in zombie lore.
So we get to the part where he meets Julie. Her 'party' is tasked with going outside the safe zone and bringing back medical supplies for the rest of the humans within the walled off city where they live. I like the gallows humor graffiti in the wall outside the doors into and out of the city. Music features heavily into the film, with R liking to listen to records, and most of the music is actually being played in the movie universe by the characters and not something chosen to make just us the audience get more into the movie and feeling certain things. For instance when R fist meets Julie, in his head he's hearing the song he was listening to earlier, John Waite's Missing You. Cue hilarity when the boy'friend' Perry shoots R in the back, stopping the song abruptly, and 'challenging' R to fight and kill him. Here's where the Romeo and Juliet references and parallels start beating you upside the head, going 'See what I did there?'
I thought the next section of the movie was cute, after eating Perry's brain and finding out she misses airplanes, he takes her back to the airport, saying he wants to keep her safe, but I think it's really because he wanted to give her something she wanted, kind of as a weird gift. Seemed like a really sweet move and gives the movie time for them to get to know each other and for her to get over the conditioning her father gave her for the undead. Several times she tries to escape, the first time's hilarious when he saves her and mimes being dead, doing the 'hands out in the international zombie symbol*' to get her back into the plane and safe again until her next breakout attempt.
After eating the last piece of Perry's brain, he decides to take her back home where she wants to be. We see more of the zombies starting to become more human like R, and some hilarious moments with his friend Marcus. Just like Mercutio, Marcus has some of the best one liners in the movie, with witty responses to things happening around them.
Of course on the way to the safe city, Julie runs out on R after being told he's the one who killed Perry. On his way back to the airport, R runs into Marcus, who tells him about the changes happening and that the bonies are coming to kill him and Julie since they don't want there to be a cure. R breaks into the city using an abandoned tunnel he saw Julie and Perry going down before in his memories. Cue balcony scene where R waits outside for Julie to perhaps wander out when she's talking to her bff Nora. They make plans and cue makeover montage, which is hilarious. Stopping here since the movie's almost over at this point, and you'll have to see it for yourself to see if they continue with the Romeo parallels or twist it into a different and new ending.
All of the actors in the movie were fantastic, never once was I pulled out of the movie due to something being bad, I believed they were their characters the whole movie, which is always something I like in movies, the believability factor. Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer have great chemistry in the movie, and I look forward to seeing movies either of them do in the future. This has to be the best variation on Shakespeare's play I've seen yet. Took the story, gave it a zombie twist, and made it awesome.
*Reference from one of Jessie Cox's Minecraft videos, you should watch his stuff, he is one hilarious gamer.
I'd like to take a moment to talk about competition reality shows right now. I know I'm not the best person to talk about reality shows in general, seeing as I only watch a few and I want to give a bit of backstory before going into this one. The first one I got into was 'America's Next Top Model' since a friend watched it, and I thought it was hilarious. I stopped watching it after a while since I'm not into modeling or fashion outside of cosplay. I stayed away from the reality pool for a while until a different friend told me about 'I Survived a Japanese Game Show'. This one I liked, but only watched the first season. Apart from not having access to a tv to watch it, the second season people would generally know what they were getting into, and again, the same hilarity wouldn't be there. Also I was totally jealous at the time that these stinking lucky people got to go to Japan. This next one is a bit weird to see how/why I'm into it. I love RuPaul's Drag Race and subsequent spin offs. It's hard to pin down precisely why I like it, considering my background, but somehow all the disjointed pieces fit together perfectly into a show I will always tune in to watch.
This brings us to today's topic. A new reality show has come out, King of the Nerds. After all the rants people have gone on about with Big Bang Theory, I went into this with hesitation. Not much though, considering the hosts are Robert Carradine and Curtis Armstrong.
It's three episodes in right now, and so far I'm liking it. Before we get on with the awesomeness the show contains, want to mention something not that cool. So there has been tons of promotional info on this show, and lots of advertising, so I couldn't help but read the bios on the people appearing on the show. The first episode, I found half of it a bit boring since it was introductory time, but there was nothing new. It seemed like everything they said about themselves, had already been said multiple times leading up to the show, there was nothing new to learn about them. Maybe if it gets a second season (one can only hope), they maybe dial back on the bios so the whole episode is interesting and not something that feels like a rerun you're listening to in the background while you play a game. Harsh, I know, but that's what it felt like to me. I'm not going to be going over every detail in the episodes since I'm both not really qualified for that, and I want you all to tune in and be as surprised at some of the things as I was.
Onto the second episode. This one cemented my love (so far, we'll see what happens) for the show, the main nerd-off being a cosplay challenge. I love going to conventions and just seeing all the people dressed up and so in character it's awesome. And then they name the judges and one of them is Yaya Han? And George Takei? Any negative things I was thinking about the show and the audience they were trying to get just blew away in the wind. These guys know their audience, and aren't trying to pander to all to get a wider audience base. One more thing about this episode, being a D&D player and what I said above about cosplay, it's no secret I was rooting for a specific team the whole time.
I had conflicting feelings about episode three. Watching it was entertaining and fun, but sitting here now, trying to thing of something to talk about, I don't know. I'm not into remote controlled copters or cars, so the only non reference-y parts of the show I connected with were the drama and nerf gun fighting.
I am looking forward to next week's show with guests Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes. Going to be awesome. Tayron's most likely not looking forward to it since he's not a fan of them, and it's centered around superheroes. You can watch past episodes on the website http://www.tbs.com/shows/king-of-the-nerds/
