Peter Parker's back — and nobody remembers him. This week Zero Dark Nerdy unpacks Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Tom Holland's fourth solo outing, full spoilers, no holding back — bail now if you haven't seen it.

We dig into the "world forgot Peter" premise, riffing on Marvel's 2008 comics era but with Doctor Strange's spell doing the erasing instead of a deal with Mephisto, plus the Frank Castle/Punisher dynamic, which reportedly grew out of on-set improv between Holland and Jon Bernthal. We also break down Sadie Sink's mystery character and the twist behind who she really turns out to be — that's a big one, so buckle up.

Zero Dark Nerdy is BACK and we brought friends. This week we're teaming up with our dear friends Josh and Spence of The Holy Goofs to dig into Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. We smell of the sea, sweat and burning firelight and it's safe to say we're still Trojan-horse-lagged from this feat of storytelling.

This isn't just a good movie. This sets a brand new bar for filmmaking as it somehow exceeded expectations we already had turned up to eleven. The cast is stacked, every frame feels intentional, and the passion and intimacy woven through this journey is palpable from the opening minutes. We talk casting, craft, the emotional core of the story, and why this one is going to be talked about for years.

Zero Dark Nerdy is back with another blood-soaked deep dive, and this time the Deadites brought their A-game. On this episode we're breaking down Evil Dead Burn, the latest entry in one of modern horror's most reliably brutal franchises — and yeah, it delivered.

We get into why this might be the most grotesque and extreme installment in the series to date, the relentless kill-kill-kill pacing that never gives you a second to breathe (let alone get bored), and the genuinely stunning cinematography that elevates the carnage into something almost beautiful. We also unpack that post-credits scene and what it might be setting up for the franchise's future.

Then we zoom out: 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most fun, competitive, and creative years horror has seen in a long time, so we're ranking Evil Dead Burn against everything else we've watched this year and talking about what's got us most hyped on the horizon — including Werewulf and Clayface.

If you love your horror nasty, gorgeous, and unapologetic, this one's for you.
