Sinners

2025/10/20

Shocktober continues! This week, The Nomads of Fantasy sink their teeth into Sinners (2025), Ryan Coogler’s Southern Gothic vampire story set in the 1930s. We break down its haunting mix of horror and history, exploring Michael B. Jordan’s dual roles, Ryan Coogler’s direction, and the film’s deep themes of sin, faith, and survival. With stunning visuals by Autumn Durald Arkapaw, music by Ludwig Göransson, and production design by Hannah Beachler, Sinners proves that even in the dark, beauty and

Uzumaki

2025/10/14

For this Shocktober, The Nomads of Fantasy dive into the long-awaited anime adaptation of Uzumaki—Junji Ito’s hypnotic horror classic about a town consumed by spirals. Across four episodes, we found ourselves mesmerized by the haunting black-and-white art direction and genuinely impressed by the eerie tone of the first episode. Unfortunately, that’s where the spiral started to unravel. With almost no character development, a disjointed story, and an ending that left us more frustrated than

Tumbbad

2025/10/06

This will be our second installment into our Shocktober series, and as those who have been diving into Indian cinema recently, Tumbbad completely blows us away. It’s not your typical horror movie—it feels like a dark fairy tale wrapped in myth and drenched in atmosphere. The story follows generations of greed centered around a cursed treasure and a forgotten god, all set in a remote, rain-soaked village that feels like a character itself. Every frame is rich with texture and detail, from the

It's Shocktober and we're kicking off a month full of horror content for you all! In this episode, we dive into Resident Evil Village and explore why it fits so seamlessly into the legendary Resident Evil franchise. While it delivers refreshing additions—like terrifying werewolves prowling the village and the unforgettable Lady Dimitrescu towering over players—it also pays homage to the series’ roots. The ornate gothic castle echoes the atmosphere of the original Spencer Mansion, reminding

For the final installment of our Summer of Sam series, Dave, Eric, and Brandon dive into Martin Scorsese’s Casino. While the casting choices might feel like the “safe bet” for this director, the acting across the board is still phenomenal and had us hooked. We talk about the film’s hefty runtime, its lackluster ending, and how its ultimate message is one of self-destruction—everyone in this story creates their own downfall. We also reflect on how Vegas itself has changed, no longer resembling the

Event Horizon

2025/08/20

Our “Summer of Sam” continues as The Nomads of Fantasy board the haunted starship for Paul W.S. Anderson’s Event Horizon, starring Sam Neill and Laurence Fishburne. We gush over the film’s incredible production design, moody atmosphere, and a first half that lets the crew (and the dread) breathe. But we also talk about how the finale sputters into a dull ending—and how so much promising material was clearly cut, leaving a choppier, less satisfying experience than it could’ve been.

As we continue or Summer of Sam, we bring in Sam Elliott and finally rolling into the lanes of one of cinema’s most beloved cult classics: The Big Lebowski. Starring Jeff Bridges as the effortlessly iconic “The Dude,” John Goodman as the unhinged Vietnam vet Walter, Steve Buscemi as the soft-spoken Donny, Julianne Moore as the enigmatic Maude, and John Turturro as the unforgettable Jesus Quintana, this 1998 Coen Brothers comedy had us laughing, quoting, and marveling at how well it still holds up

Lets shine some light on Jackie Brown—a Quentin Tarantino gem that might not be the most talked-about in his filmography, but definitely deserves a spot in the conversation. As part of our Summer of Sam playlist, we couldn’t skip this excellent Sam Jackson performance.Jackie Brown brings together a fantastic and unexpected mix of actors—Pam Grier, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, Robert De Niro, Michael Keaton—and it’s rare to see this ensemble sharing the screen anywhere else.

Galaxy Quest

Galaxy Quest (1999) is one of the most clever and affectionate love letters ever written to sci-fi fandom. It follows the washed-up cast of a cult sci-fi TV series who, after years of coasting on convention appearances, suddenly find themselves whisked into a real interstellar conflict by aliens who believe their show was genuine historical record. While it hilariously pokes fun at sci-fi tropes—like overblown captains, technobabble, and obsessive fans—it does so with deep respect and affection for

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

2025/05/27

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a timeless showcase of filmmaking wonder, an excellent combination of animation and live-action that relied heavily on craftsmanship, crazy planning, and artistic ingenuity. In a world before CGI became commonplace, the movie harnessed traditional hand-drawn animation techniques, practical effects, and carefully choreographed live-action moments. It united directors, animators, actors, and set designers, each discipline contributing an essential layer to the magic. The

Open the door and dive into Blue Prince, one of 2025’s most intriguing puzzle game releases—and a bold evolution in the genre. Blending a sense of discovery with strategic planning, Blue Prince invites players to build their own sprawling mansion room by room, all while racing against a mysterious ticking clock. It’s a masterclass in atmosphere and minimalist storytelling, wrapped in a mechanic that rewards both experimentation and forethought. We believe this game represents a shift in how puzzle

The 2002 adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo is a solid, straightforward retelling of Alexandre Dumas’ classic revenge tale. Split cleanly into three acts — betrayal, imprisonment, and revenge — the film plays it safe with its structure and storytelling. It doesn’t dig too deep into subplots or character complexities, instead choosing to keep its focus tight on Edmond Dantès’ transformation from naïve sailor to calculating count.While Jim Caviezel and Guy Pearce carry the film as the central

2025/03/28

Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu (2024) is a masterclass in how to remake a classic while breathing new life—and death—into it. With stunning gothic visuals, eerie atmosphere, and haunting performances, Eggers reimagines F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent film for a modern audience without sacrificing its unsettling soul. Every frame drips with dread, paying homage to the original while using contemporary filmmaking to deepen the psychological terror. Bill Skarsgård’s portrayal of Count Orlok is both monstrous and
