A24 (formerly A24 Films) is still pretty much the new kid on the block as far as movie production companies are concerned. Founded by Daniel Katz in 2012, the studio is an infant compared to big players like Universal Pictures, a world-renowned company that’s been around since 1912. Even so, A24 has already made a mark so potent that audiences will check out a film simply because it’s by A24....

The Dragon Ball franchise has grown far beyond the original manga that spawned it. Over the past three decades, it has expanded into anime, films, and even the occasional stage play—but it’s the realm of video games that has seen the most adaptations of Goku’s exploits.

Steam practically dominates the PC gaming market. While it has several fantastic features that make it a gamer’s go-to marketplace, it’s still not the only one out there.

Many times in classic films, you’ll see the same couples come together across several different movies. Often times, that was due to the nature of Hollywood back then: certain stars were contracted to certain studios, so there were only so many choices for leading roles. But another reason was that certain star pairings had incredible chemistry that came across on-screen. When you want passion and romance, those classic on-screen couples remain great to watch even to this day....

Martial arts can infuse action movies with all kinds of unique excitement, with badass fight scenes and well-choreographed stunts that you won’t find elsewhere. But there’s more to martial arts than just combat. Martial arts don’t only exist to make films more action-packed. There are entire philosophies and ideologies that separate different martial arts from each other, and some of those have become the main subjects of movies that delve into their rich histories and disciplines....

For whatever reason, Hollywood loves a good remake to stir up a fanbase and draw in a box office. To be fair, it’s not an unwritten rule that all movie remakes are always inferior to the original. However, the fact that Hollywood studios often use the concept of a remake to simply re-wrap and re-deliver the same old stories as new means most movie remakes are pointless. It’s rare for a remake to deserve its time in theaters....

After Seinfeld’s seventh season ended, Larry David announced that he wouldn’t be returning to the show for the next. His loss was certainly felt in the series’ eighth and ninth seasons as Seinfeld lost some of its sparkling wit. He may not have had an on-screen presence, but David’s contribution to the show was evident in the decline of its final outings. Related: The best TV sitcoms of the 2000s, ranked...

It’s a Saturday night. You and your friends sit in the dimly-lit living room of your house while button-mashing, arguing, and stuffing your face with popcorn. Does this sound all too familiar? There’s nothing wrong with video game nights, but sitting within the same four walls gets old after awhile. A night out in the town doesn’t have to involve clubs or fancy restaurants. In fact, venues are more geek-friendly than ever....

Getting together for a board game night is a great way to combine two great things. To start, it’s a way to spend some time with your favorite nerdy pursuits. It’s also a great way to spend some time with your friends. That said, if you always play the same games with the same group of people, things can start to get stale. After all, variety is the spice of life....

I don’t mean to sound like a pretentious hipster, but I think that retro games were more fulfilling than the games we have today. After all, who really needs 4K graphics, online multiplayer, and microtransactions? We need to go back to the days when games were just games—when they weren’t used to capitalize off players, when the developers actually took pride in their construction. Here are some of the top reasons why classic video games hold a special place in the world of gaming....

If you’re reading a site called WhatNerd—and we have reason to believe you are—your interests likely lean toward the geeky variety. This doesn’t mean you don’t like sports, but you may not like them as much as some of your friends do.

Of course, just as with any traditional sport, you can’t just start watching a random tournament and expect to know everything that’s happening....

Modern television is filled with colorful characters of all kinds, but there’s been a special trend towards morally gray anti-heroes who end up in complex situations without right and wrong answers. Assassins and hitmen are common in these kinds of shows, who tend to be good at heart but damaged by the world, stuck in occupations where they’re forced to commit heinous deeds. These characters often tread the same tropes, mostly as skilled fighters recruited by shadowy organizations or as government agents who are disillusioned by corruption....

In cinema, the werewolf is a symbolic monster. It’s a stark representation of the duality of man: the sophisticated versus the primal, the intellectual versus the powerful force of instinct within. Some interpret this battle as an attempt to harness our most depraved impulses and tame our violent energies. In that sense, the werewolf identity is an internal struggle against one’s animalistic self. Here are the best movies about werewolves that each bring something worthwhile to this unique subgenre of monster movies....

Rockstar Games has proven themselves to be more than just a game development studio over the past 22 years. They’ve become a benchmark to surpass, an institution envied by other studios.

Documentary movies do something that regular movies can’t do—they show us real footage of real people, and in doing so they provide us with real insight into the human condition. Hundreds of documentary films are released every year, but only a handful of them really gain any recognition. The ones that do are the ones that say something noteworthy about a subject or situation. It takes a special skillset to excel at documentary filmmaking, and many have dedicated their lives to this pursuit of cinematic documentation....
