Dragonball: Evolution (2009)

WHAT’S IN YOUR NERDHAT? This week we cover the infamous live action adaptation of Akira Toriyama's work, "Dragonball: Evolution."

What do you think, Nerdhatters? Do you love or hate this film, or does like more in the dreaded land of "meh" for you? Love the podcast? Want access to additional content and updates?

RiverRun, 2026, Bonus: "Hotline" (w/Ricki Stern & Jesse Sweet)

WHAT’S IN YOUR NERDHAT? "Fentanyl overdose is the number one cause of death for 18–44-year-olds. Fentanyl can be as inexpensive as a cigarette and more than 100 times more powerful than morphine. As overdose rates rise and stigma persists, THE HOTLINE is not just a story about crisis—it's a story about listening. Grounded in real-world harm reduction efforts, THE HOTLINE is a film about connection in the darkest moments, the power of empathy, and the quiet heroes working in the shadows to keep people breathing, one call at a time." ~ breakthrufilms.org On a more serious note*, we decided to cover the documentary short film "Hotline" (2026), which won Honorable Mention in the documentary short film category at the RiverRun International Film Festival. It was co-directed by Ricki Stern and Jesse Sweet, who agreed to come on the podcast to talk about their most recent venture. If you or someone you know is battling an opioid addiction, help is available. Here are two resources which the filmmakers recommend: https://www.samhsa.gov/ The "Never Use Alone" Hotline: 1-877-696-1996 *The views and opinions expressed by guests do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of the Nerdhat podcast or its hosts.* Love the podcast?

RiverRun 2026, Part 2: Writer-Director Will Thwaites

WHAT’S IN YOUR NERDHAT? On day 2 of the RiverRun International Film Festival, we sat down with filmmaker @willthwaites to discuss the documentary film @crimeandparody which he wrote, directed, filmed, and co-edited. "Crime + Parody" begins with an account of Anthony Novak's legal conflict with his local police department in Parma, Ohio and expands to cover the story of another Ohio resident, Omar Arrington Bay, whose encounters with law enforcement ultimately led to his death. Along the way, the film addresses issues like freedom of speech, the importance of comedy as a check on governmental power, and the controversial legal principle of qualified immunity. In addition to discussing the film, we also talked with Will about his career in the film industry, which has included projects as varied as Animal Planet's "Zoo" and James Cameron's "The Story of Science Fiction." "Crime + Parody" is his feature length directorial debut, and has already won him an award for best Director (at the Atlanta Documentary Film Festival) during its festival run. If you are listening to this episode prior to April 24th, you may be able to catch the final showing of "Crime + Parody" at the Marketplace Cinema here in our very own Winston Salem, NC. *The views and opinions expressed by guests do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of the Nerdhat podcast or its hosts.* Buy a ticket for the Friday, April 24th Showing of Crime + Parody: https://riverrunfilm.com/events/crimeandparody/#buynow Follow the Film on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crimeandparody/ Follow Will Thwaites on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/willthwaites/ Love the podcast?
