The Best TV shows we never finished watching

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 02:00:00 -0500

We've all been there: we fall in love with a show, but then we get distracted or life gets in the way...and we never finish it. It gets lost to the backlog of our tv watching. In this episode of Eat Sleep Nerd, the nerds discuss the best tv shows of all time that we just never finished watching. Can you believe that we never finished Breaking Bad? Can you believe that we haven't caught up with Ted Lasso? Even shows like The Handmaid's Tale and Peaky Blinders have gone unfinished. Yellowstone, Supernatural, The Boys, Daredevil Born Again...the list goes on.

2026 Oscars predictions! Predicting all 24 winners for the 98th Annual Academy Awards

In this conversation, the nerds predict the winners of the 2026 Oscars across all categories, including Best Picture, Best Actor and Actress, Makeup and Hair Styling, Best Original Score, and the brand new Best Casting category. Will Michael B. Jordan, Ryan Coogler, and Sinners walk away the big winners of the night? Will international films Sentimental Value and The Secret Agent get the recognition they deserve? Will K Pop Demon Hunters win over Zootopia 2 for Best Animated Feature? Will Leonardo Dicaprio's One Battle After Another take home any awards?

We discuss that and so much more as we predict the winners for the 98th Annual Academy Awards 2026. How many of the 2026 Oscars predictions will we get correct (and how many will we get wrong?)

Star Trek fans are MEAN - reacting to negative Starfleet Academy comments

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 13:00:00 -0600

A few weeks ago, we shared our review of the first episode of Star Trek Starfleet Academy where we discussed how pleasantly surprised we were that we enjoyed it. And boy...the Youtube comment section disagreed. We received TONS of mean and negative comments. In this video, we react to the comments, share our thoughts on Star Trek fans and the state of the Star Trek franchise as a whole, debate if Star Trek is woke, and more.

Check out our original Star Trek Starfleet Academy review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmiGPi9YdAU

A lot of fans assumed that we were paid to leave a positive review of Starfleet Academy, but sadly, we're just not that cool. All opinions are honestly and truly our own, and we're left wondering why us enjoying "new woke Star Trek" invites people who disagree with us to react so negatively and mean.

How bad were 2025 movies? | Reviewing our Rotten Tomatoes predictions

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 15:00:00 -0600

A year ago, we blind predicted the Rotten Tomatoes critics scores for 50 of the most anticipated 2025 movies. Now that 2025 is over, we need to reflect to see how many of our predictions we got right. Was Superman as good as we thought it could be? Was A Minecraft Movie as bad as we predicted? Is the Rotten Tomato score for Avatar Fire and Ash what we thought it would be? And did we really need a new Smurfs movie??
