Nerds Talking

This week on Nerds Talking, join hosts Lafayette, Carlos, and Laura as they dive into a variety of engaging topics and movie reviews that are sure to entertain and spark discussions.

First, we kick things off with a lively discussion on the bottom 10 movies rated on Rotten Tomatoes. What makes these films so universally panned? Are there any hidden gems among the wreckage, or are they all truly as bad as the critics say?

Next, we delve into the fascinating world of actors known for only one iconic role. From the legendary Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker to Macaulay Culkin's unforgettable Kevin McCallister in Home Alone, we explore the careers of these actors and how one role can define an entire career.

In a heartfelt segment, Johnny joins us to give an update on his daughter's health. We get personal and supportive as we hear the latest on her journey and how Johnny and his family are coping and finding strength.

Our movie review this week features the 2024 action comedy The Fall Guy, starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. Directed by David Leitch and written by Drew Pearce, The Fall Guy is loosely based, very loosely based, on the 1980s TV series of the same name. The plot follows Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling), a former Hollywood stuntman who now works as a valet after a career-ending injury. Colt is pulled back into the industry by film producer Gail Meyer, who recruits him for a new movie directed by his ex-girlfriend Jody Moreno (Emily Blunt).

As Colt navigates the tumultuous production of the science fiction epic Metalstorm in Sydney, he discovers that the film's lead actor, Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), is involved in a dangerous conspiracy. The movie also stars Hannah Waddingham, Teresa Palmer, Stephanie Hsu, and Winston Duke, who bring depth and excitement to this action-packed and comedic narrative.

Join us as we break down the film's plot, performances, and whether it lives up to the legacy of the original TV series.
