We talk with Nick about some of his other great movies like "JohnQ" and the personal connection of his daughter, and girl dads everywhere. He didn't sem to excited to talk about the 80's flick he was in with Charlie Sheen called "The Wraith"....but don't worry, we cover that in Top Nerd News.
In Top Nerd News we start off with Sony Pictures love for BLOOD in Super Hero Origin stories...with the latest bloodborn villain "KRAVEN : The Hunter" The trailer dropped, and it's a bit underwhelming. The Flash movie drops 73% in Box Office Sales, and gets beaten by the 4 week old Spiderverse movie.

SAG Award Winning Actor Jared Harris from Mad Men, Chernobyl & Resident Evil joins the show to talk about his new Documentary "The Ghost of Richard Harris" which comes out May 9th on Brit Box. Dave and Jared discuss how Richard Harris was such an amazing self promoter that was ahead of his time. Dave (as usual) steps into it when he tells Jared that his father's #1 Hit "McArthur Park" is god awful. But he bounces back when asks about his fathers turn as Professor Dumbledore .on the red carpet during the premier of Harry Potter.
In Top Nerd News the big story is the Writer's Guild of America has gone on strike. The effect is almost immediate when it comes to Late Night Talk shows, but it will be a slow burn on Cable and Streaming Platforms. Dave breaks it all down with a quick histroy lesson about previous strikes from the 60's to today. What is the effect of AI, and what exactly is Gig Work. Finally, how much money are we really talking about at the end of the day?
Skungy's Pick of the Week is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Other than a gigantic 1st day download with patches, updates, changes etc it's apparently a very good game. They've listened to the players and made changes for the better. Plus, you don't have to start over from scratch when it comes to Force Skills etc.

Dungeons & Dragons has had the Open Gaming License as an Industry Standard for 2 decades. In a "shocking twist" a Corporation has decided that they no longer want to share their creation and let others profit from their work. Needless to say, many fans are upset and have cancelled their D&D Beyond subscription accounts to show their displeasure. But what is it that they are truly upset about?
Later we talk about some of the latest trailers that dropped, like "Renfield" and "Ant-Man & Wasp : Quantumania" Skungy's Pick of the Week is Marvel's Midnight Suns which is currently available on Next Gen consoles only. We close the show with our thoughts on the 40 year in the making sequel from Mel Brooks....History of the World Part II. Can Mel Brooks humor still be funny in this day and age, or will it be watered down politically correct tripe?
