About The Writers

Hi!

Welcome to the officially unofficial NerDemption Blog! We are your hosts, Leslie and Jessica, and we are really glad you're here!

What is NerDemption? The term was coined by Leslie while chatting with a friend about what a bummer that so many cool and catchy pop songs could not be enjoyed by all ages because of inappropriate lyrics. In developing a series of nerd-themed parodies of some of these songs (some for the inappropriateness, some just for the fun of it), Leslie mentioned that these songs underwent a "nerd redemption", or.... Nerd-Demption!

On this blog, we will endeavor to service our fandoms with reviews, commentary, articles, and parodies with a distinct moral tone, designed to be enjoyed by nerds of all ages! Comment, share and subscribe for quality fandom goodness!

Leslie--[Brief Bio Coming Soon]

Jessica
Hi! I'm Jessica, but most people just call me Jess. Or Fluff. Apparently I remind one of Judy Hopps. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not that short, nor are my eyes purple, (actually one is green and the other is brown) nor is my fur grey. However, I do have a pretty bubbly personality and although I'm not a morning person, I get most my energy as the day progresses.

I am addicted to chocolate, (I dabble in making it too) TV and reading. To that end, my speciality for this blog will be Top Ten Lists on fandoms, TV Series Reviews (trust me, my taste is weird, there won't be just the normal SuperWhoLock though that will make an appearance too) Book Reviews, perhaps some of my own shameless self-promotion with my writing/fanfics (though you can just come over to my own blog: From A Land Far Far Away where stuff like books and my fanfics will be discussed.)

To name a few of my fandoms:
Sherlock
Doctor Who (however, I'm insanely behind with this)
Supernatural (ditto)
Psych (still crying over how quickly my bingewatching was over with this. To quote Leslie "EIGHT SEASONS OF PURE GOLD" to which I heartily concurred. Also, THEY. ARE. MAKING. A. MOVIE. WITH. FLYNN. RIDER. AS. THE. BADDIE. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.)
Speaking of Flynn; Disney
Star Trek
Merlin (too many tears were shed over this one. NO REGRETS though.)
Warehouse 13
Harry Potter 
Johnny Depp (he's his own fandom, I swear!)
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (**endless squeeing over the adorableness of Newt Scamander/Eddie Redmayne**)
Marvel (GAH. DOCTOR STRANGE. CLINT BARTON. PETER QUILL. THAT IS ALL.)
And basically any chick flick without too much hanky panky.

So, sit back, relax and enjoy while I write my thoughts and opinions about these (and indeed other) fandoms.

Jess out.

Top 5 Television Show "Killers" and "Keepers"

*Note: So this is an article I published on a now-defunct blog a few years ago... so some of the assertions on specific shows may be a bit dated, but the principles still stand!   There's a lot that goes into a show. Some of it is fantastic and makes your eyes light up every time someone mentions the title. Some of it is regrettable and makes you grimace when someone mentions it. Sometimes, a show just takes a while to "get its feet under it," so to speak. Sometimes a show starts out strong and then fails so hard you are left wondering, "What did I ever see in this show?" Some shows are fascinating from the outset; other shows, you couldn't care less about the characters and the outcome. So what makes the difference? What is it about shows that make you roll your eyes and cringe? What do your favorite shows get right that keep you so attached to every level of the story arc? Here are at least five key features of each sort... at least, as fa

The Non-Nerd's Guide to Nerddom: Or, "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy"

By

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book... because it has the words "DON'T PANIC" in large, friendly letters on the cover."   I can still remember seeing the teaser trailer for the first time... and having no idea what the heck this movie was supposed to be about.  Years after that (which brings us up to a couple years ago), I finally decided to sit down and see what all the hype was about. What happened next was 100 minutes of sheer genius. Enjoy sci-fi? Love British humor? Then you will adore this movie. Don't believe me? Read on! (I should warn you, this might include some spoilers... but not too many, so there will be some unexpected randomness in the movie!) Best Bits and Random Thoughts: -There is nothing quite so awesome as a narration by Stephen Fry. Period. -So humans are only the third smartest species... with dolphins being the second... so what does that make the smartest life form on Earth
