Nerdy on Netflix- Mindwarp & Ponyo


Well team, here we are again ready to disclose some largely unknown greatness on everyones favorite the Netflix instant que.

This week, a great little piece of cinematic wonderment comes to you straight from 1992, Mindwarp. Starring the ever perfect Bruce Cambell (Army of Darkness...DUH) and Angus Scrimm (Phantasm) this post apocalyptic gem of REDICULOUS is a must watch for anyone with a Netflix instant que. The film is a distopic interpretation of technology gone wrong, with a sprinkling of pig faced monstermen and what some may call, overacting. However, this film surpasses all expectations and is the PERFECT choice for those who love all things Bruce. He is the pan-ultimate badass in this film. Hands down.

Be ready to laugh, and stare in awe at this great little gems ability to entertain and perplex. A must watch.

Up next in a starkly contrasting realm is a beautiful film, Ponyo. From 2008 this film is one in which anyone and everyone can fall in love. The animation is perfect, the voice acting above reproach. It is assuredly a lovely film for the whole family. Directed by Hayao Miyazaki (of whom you should have an intimate knowledge if you are on this blog) the film is a magical telling of a young boy and the sweet little Ponyo (an aquatic little girl that just loves ham) and their journey together, quite honestly its the most amazing story of love and family one could ask for. If you love anime, beauty, the sea or just love life Ponyo is the film for you.



As always this is your Captain signing off!
