  The House Bunny (2008) Review | The Nerds Next Door

  Sep 23, 20261 hour

  The House Bunny (2008) Review It’s Vic’s pick this week as we head back to 2008 for The House Bunny, starring Anna Faris, Emma Stone and Kat Dennings! Does this late-2000s comedy still hold up? Is Shelley Darlingson one of Anna Faris’ best roles? And just how badly have some parts of the film aged? Harry, Ben and Vic get into the comedy, characters, favourite moments and whether The House Bunny deserves to be remembered as a genuinely great comedy or simply a guilty pleasure. Before all that, Vic has finally finished the latest season of FROM — so naturally, we need to find out what she thought of it. Plus, as always, expect plenty of completely unnecessary tangents along the way. ️ Nerds Against Normality — three friends, three very different tastes.

  Sep 16, 20261h 2m

  This week, we’re reviewing The Blues Brothers (1980) — the cult musical comedy starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. Does Jake and Elwood’s mission from God still hold up more than 45 years later? We’re talking legendary music, incredible cameos, ridiculous car chases and some truly spectacular destruction. Plus, we put our musical knowledge to the test as Harry, Ben and Vic attempt to identify famous songs from some questionable descriptions. Three friends. Three very different tastes. Plenty of opinions.
