? Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li
Before viewing Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li, please make sure you have a bottle of your favorite hard liquor on hand, and a rubber nipple attached to the botle. Suckle the bottle at all points while the movie is on. Do this, and you might survive the experience.
? Stargate Atlantis: Complete Fifth Season
Fifth and final, more specifically. Hopefully Stargate Universe fills the Stargate-sized holes in all you Stargate fans’ hearts.
? Eureka: Season 3.0
The semi-popular Syfy show that wasn’t BSG and isn’t over. I think.
? The IT Crowd: Complete Second Season
I caught the first season of this British nerd comedy on Netflix and highly recommend it. You fellow fans, tell the others what they’re missing, please.
? Parker Lewis Can’t Lose: Complete First Season
The original modern nerd comedy? Maybe. I’m eager to see if this thing is as nearly as good as my memories say it is.
? Samurai Champloo: Complete Collection
Like Cowboy Bebop but with hiphop samurai instead of jazz space-bounty hunters. Not qquite as good as Bebop, but that still means it’s pretty damn good.
? Monster X Strikes Back
A recent giant monster movie starring Beat Takeshi. The fact that I’ve not heard of it before today makes me think it’s probably not very good.
? Transmorphers: Fall of Man
A super cheap-o Transformers rip-off direct-to-DVD movie starring Bruce Boxzleitner? Where the hell do I sign up?
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
