Nick D – Movie Reviews, Cars Go Vrooom!, and Big Talking Heads

The Nick D Podcast on Radio Misfits

Nick brings back film critics Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy to tear into the newest movie releases—some hits, a lot of misses. Pixar’s Elio gets a once-over, 28 Years Later tries to keep the horror flame alive, and Bride Hard with Rebel Wilson lands with a thud. They also offer an early review of F1: The Movie, Brad Pitt’s high-octane racing flick that turns out to be all rev and no traction.

Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to gear up for the upcoming Flashback Weekend Horror Convention. The two get into what really makes a movie worth seeing on the big screen—spoiler: it’s not just a lot of close-ups and dialogue. They also dive into the strange fate of people who resemble Macaulay Culkin, and why Scarecrow was just too much for Esma to sit through. It’s a conversation that shifts gears from cinematic spectacle to psychological unease, with plenty of laughs in between. [EP 360]
