Nerd Legion

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds might be the most confusing show on television. Not confusing to follow. Confusing to rate. It has been an Aliens clone, a musical, a 1960s parody, and now a horror show, and there is no way to know before pressing play whether the next episode will be one of the best hours in franchise history or completely unwatchable.

The Rocketeer came out in 1991, flopped at the box office, and has quietly become one of the best superhero movies ever made.

Game of Thrones sabotaged its own fan base worse than any franchise in television history. And then HBO did the impossible: they actually fixed it. MonteCristo and DoA break down the first three episodes of House of the Dragon Season 3, why the Battle of the Gullet is the second-best battle in the entire Westeros universe, and how HBO pulled off a franchise recovery that Star Wars and Star Trek can only dream of.

MonteCristo and DoA are on opposite sides of Spider-Noir, and the gap between them is wider than a Prohibition-era speakeasy. DoA loved it. MonteCristo thinks you should watch something else.

The critic reviews are a lie. Disclosure Day is sitting at 81% on Rotten Tomatoes and it is terrible. MonteCristo and DoA break down how Steven Spielberg, John Williams, David Koepp, and Janusz Kamiński, four of the most accomplished filmmakers alive, collectively produced a movie where nothing makes sense, nothing is explained, and the climax is hijacking a local Kansas City news broadcast in 2026 because apparently TikTok doesn't exist.
