Nerds Talking

Oh man, do we have a packed show for you this week! Lafayette has returned from vacation and fills us in on his time away, giving us all the juicy details about his adventures. But that's just the beginning. We dive into the latest buzz surrounding Sean "P-Diddy" Combs and his infamous parties—what’s really going on behind those closed doors?

Lafayette also reviews Blink Twice, a 2024 American psychological thriller directed by Zoë Kravitz in her directorial debut. Written by Kravitz and E.T. Feigenbaum, the film boasts an all-star cast including Naomi Ackie, Channing Tatum, Christian Slater, Simon Rex, and Geena Davis. The story follows a group of people invited to a private island owned by a billionaire tech mogul, where things start getting strange—particularly for the female guests. Is this Kravitz’s breakout moment behind the camera?

Carlos tackles I Saw The TV Glow, a 2024 psychological horror drama written and directed by Jane Schoenbrun. Starring Justice Smith and Brigette Lundy-Paine, the film explores the eerie connection between two troubled high school students and their favorite TV show, which leads them to question their reality and identity. With an intriguing supporting cast including Helena Howard, Fred Durst, and Danielle Deadwyler, Carlos breaks down what makes this film a haunting and thought-provoking ride.

Meanwhile, Laura spices things up with a game called Deadwood or Shakespeare?—can the guys guess whether the quote comes from the classic western or the Bard himself? And in a blast from the past, Laura also digs up an old commercial that everyone remembers, prompting the gang to dial the number and see if they can still order some cassettes. Spoiler alert: hilarity ensues.
