Ashens And The Polybius Heist (2020) - Movie Review

A few years ago, I made it a thing where I’d take time out in April to highlight my critical influences, namely YouTubers I obsessed over in my teens that got me interested in the work that I have spent the last six years populating this blog with. In lieu of a long-winded and likely painful detailing of why I don’t do that around here anymore (and from the looks of things never will again), let’s just say that I don’t have the same raging fanboy adoration for my influences that I used to have, and I try and stay away from discussing them here as best I can. But in all honesty, I’m willing to dip into that pool once again to discuss a YouTuber movie that is a nice breath of fresh air from the norm.

NerdQuest (2014) - Movie Review

This is going to mark another first here at Mahan’s Media, as this will be the first time that I’ll be reviewing a film… that I’ve already seen. Yeah, every other time I’ve reviewed a film on here? First and, usually, only time I’ve seen it. There are occasional exceptions, like when I’m re-watching recent films in catch-up for a recent releases like with The Hunger Games or, God help me, Divergent, and that will sometimes cause that film’s placement on the lists to shift a few spots. Otherwise, I usually go through these reviews under the impression that I will probably only watch these films once and not be able to take time out of my schedule to see it again. But like I said, this will be different and give me a chance to possibly re-evaluate the film beyond what I saw in it initially. So, without further ado, let’s get started with today’s feature.
