In my real life I work at a place that understands celebrating accomplishments. Last night, I attended the semi-regular (i.e. occurring three times a year) graduation ceremony for those who have completed the program. It isn’t easy- more people fail or leave before they ever reach this milestone- so the celebration is important. On a personal note, I worked closely with four of the graduates over the last year and it was amazing to see them have their moment to shine. One was even valedictorian! Continue reading
Midnight Movie Madness! — a brief reflection
12 JunStewart here…
A realization just dawned on me not too long ago: it has been twenty-five years since I saw my first movie at a midnight showing. These days with some big summer movies having showings the day before at 8 PM or so, its easy to forget the earliest showing most people could get for a big studio blockbuster was at midnight. For me, that first experience with a summer movie at midnight came in 1989 (another article I’ll have to get to, seeing how BIG that summer turned out to be), and that movie was…
Why Smallville will always be my own personal kryptonite
10 JunIf you’ve been paying attention you know that we love our superheroes here at NerdLush HQ. And Superman is one of our favorites (though we have equal love, apparently, for all DC and Marvel characters). We could (and probably should) sit around as a group and debate the merits of each Superman and it would likely be quite the entertaining roundtable. But since the crew is scattered, it isn’t likely to happen anytime soon.
None of that is why I am here today… I want to talk about why Smallville will always hold a special place in my heart. Continue reading

The end (or is it the beginning) of another award season
6 JunIt seems like Hollywood- or more accurately, the entertainment industry- spends the entire year patting themselves on the back and handing out awards. Honestly, I only watch one of these shows anymore- the same people/projects seem to win over and over… so there really isn’t a draw for me. But this weekend is the one show I try to catch every year- The Tony Awards.
SMALLVILLE Minicaps / Season 7, Eps. 13-16
4 Jun
The Smallville season 7 minicaps apologize for the delay. Hopefully Bizarro Smallville season 7 minicaps didn’t mess things up too badly while it was here.
Stewart here…
Its all bad news on the Smallville front. Clark’s finding out what happened while Bizarro Clark had assumed his identity (well, besides schumpting Lana), but not that Bizarro Clark was recently in contact with a reassembled Brainiac. Kara has been found, but doesn’t remember who she is, but Lex is willing to help her find out. Speaking of Lex, he’s murdered Grant, the clone of his already dead brother, and something regarding a thing called Veritas is popping up. We’ll get more on Veritas here, so let’s go… Continue reading
Guilty Pleasures- MTV’s Teen Wolf
2 JunFor some time, my young friend Marina (who I have known since she was knee high to a grasshopper) has been recommending that I watch MTV’s Teen Wolf (at this point I should note that the rec actually comes from her mom, who recc’ed it to her, but that’s not the point). I always said I’d get around to it… eventually.
Well, now that I have free time and my fav shows are on hiatus, I finally have the time to watch those genre shows I’ve been putting off… And Amazon Prime having the complete series (so far) streaming for free was a pretty good push to put Teen Wolf towards the top of my list.
And what can I say- I am not above enjoying a show that has pretty guys running around shirtless (especially since this happens much more often than the girls showing skin- props to MTV).
I stayed up too late the other night to finish my marathon and am now super sad that I have to wait for the next season! Which, by the way, starts on June 23rd.
Oh, and um… SPOILERS ahead. Continue reading

What is your must read COMIC?
29 MayThe boys of NerdLush are the ones to usually talk about comics around here, but I have my own little collection, too. And it got me wondering- what books do you pick up every week? And what web comics do you follow? Continue reading
ARROW Season 2 review
