A crippled lemur could have survived better than the 2 sisters oh my god

Fun trivia about cordyceps, if what i read was right, the cordyceps doesn't mind control the ants, it digs into their body and controls it, leaving the mind intact, wich means they don't mind control the host, but they control the body while the host is likely concious, wich i find magnitudes more nightmarish

Damn, Nerd, an almost 1 hour video break-down? I didn't know it was viewer appreciation day.

So, a very likely reason why just pulling the worm out doesn't fix anything is that if even a single segment of the worm's body is left in the host it will simply regenerate into a new worm. Plus, given that the worms spread through blood spitting, who says they play by a one worm/one host rule? They may be laying eggs and fertilizing them inside a host while setting up for spit transmission. This movie really does look like a headache.

The most unbelievable thing about this movie is Stacey being a high school student.

10:27 as someone who has 2-3 seizures a day, you’d be shocked at how many people think you should hold the persons head up or keep them on their back during a seizure

“Leaving the state of California altogether” is generally sound advice in ANY situation.

oh yeah, i believed these movies with stupid protags doing stupid things were cautionary tales of what not to do. that's why they were quite frustrating

Methinks the "glory hole" is, given that it's an unfinished building, a door without a handle

I'm a older sister, and if I got infected in a zombie scenario, I am leaving her all my zombie wisdom and telling her to wait til I'm sleep to buss a cap.

"A lot of things in this movie were preventable with some common sense" Now why does that sound familiar...

My glorious king has entered the castle now time to listen to him preach im not glazing i swear

Nerd:if you moved to California- Me:SCREAMS OF TERROR

Man the trope of protagonists not seeing whats happening when the world is literally falling apart around them is so damn annoying.

I swear these movies only exist so that it gives people with a decimal point IQ hope they might survive an apocalypse

When the things were that easily preventable, but dumb choices led to bad results. Easily both sisters could have survived if they both took the situation seriously, or their father who could see the signs got them out of there. Even then it feels like we lost the wrong sister in the end.

These horror movie women are exhausting. The plot gods have to stretch so hard they pull every muscle at once and grow three inches taller.

Black best friend who dies first? We're two for two boys!

I'd argue the father's complete lack of awareness is a great example of why he got fired in the first place.

It’s funny how these movies came out years before “it who will not be named” and people still acted stupid in real life. Like I hear your frustration on the partying and all that, AND THATS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE.

2 highschool teenagers that look 30 years old

About the part where the plan is to leave town i say ditch the car somewhere and then when u make it across ACT like youre trying to sneak in to see family they will most likely send u back instead of u running and going in one direction and they assume you came from the town that would be the best plan of action

"If you moved with your family to California" has saved all rational people from this fate.

Glad i don't have epilepsy. That party scene definitely gave someone watching this an episode

So what I dont like them leaving her sister alone after they took the worm out I mean, even tape worms can break apart and leave a bit on themselves inside the host and continue to live. They still need to still be concerned, especially since they didn't remove it surgically.

I think any apocalypse scenario really just boils down to how lucky you are. But…the next best thing is the Nerd Explains army! Also, there is not a parent on earth that would leave his children to fend for themselves to “potentially” save his wife that he cheated on. Call her and tell her to get out of the airport ASAP…then throw your girls in the car, stop by the house to grab food, guns, and brand new teenage love interest for reasons and get out of dodge. Hopefully meet up with wife, but more then likely, she was already on a plane with recycled air in close proximity to at least one infected person. She is already gone. She drew the short side of the wishbone.

I hate "horror" movies where the only horror is that the writers expect us to accept agonizingly stupid plot points and decisions made by characters just to enjoy it. Give us some horror movies where the antagonistic force is ACTUALLY nigh unstoppable or unbeatable and not just suddenly helpless and easy to beat when it calls for the protagonist to defeat it. A quiet place almost got it right with the aliens being essentially impervious to damage, the only stupid part is that they expect us to believe that a deaf teenager figured out how to defeat the aliens, when what was most likely millions of scientists could not. This shit movie is automatically a 0/10 just because of how lazy they got with the solution alone. Sure, the teenage girl discovered the one way to defeat the virus that millions of medical professionals could not. Immediate turn off.

Well due to the expelling of fluids and the constant movement and lack of medical care for wounds, infected like this wouldn't last for longer than a week or so. The lack of proper nutrient intake to fluid expelling is far to unbalanced for the body to last, however; some viruses and bacteria and fungi can replicate generations far quicker than most humans. They can start to regulate the body over time. I am in the early stages of studying for my phd in virology, so i apologize for the below par explanation.

I will totally agree with Nerd on this one: Teenagers with little to no experience, precaution, or common sense that isn't ruled by emotions should not be able to triumph over this thing and the rate that it infects and grows. The plots surrounding these types of films have gotten so bad that even seeing a teenager centered on a movie poster is enough to get me to think twice before going to see a movie. Last time I enjoyed a teenage-centered story was probably the How To Tame Your Dragon movies, since my flair for going to the theaters in general took a nosedive shortly after the third one.

Ahh yes the "contagius virus" type of movie Where have i seen this in real life?

When it comes to disappointing, these girls never disappoint

Loving all these longer videos lately c:

Probably... Human brains are incredibly complex, and our immune systems are similarly designed to protect us against most infections... But, yes. Continuous exposure to/forced modification of any virus, bacteria or fungi could make it possible for the microbe to infect humans

When the zombie apocalypse finally hits irl, I’m showing this to my family so we can all hopefully survive.

Nerd explains changed my life

The sheer level of anxiety I have at even the thought of my own family being this idiotic in an emergency is overwhelming. I would probably have a mental breakdown before I even saw a zombie if my own sibling decided it was a good idea to go to a party in a pandemic. Fortunately, they have a brain.

I’d imagine the CDC did try her method, but it probably spread far too quickly and the infected were too volatile.

Because of our body heat being too high we cant get cordycepts but if it were to be modified to be able to survive higher temperatures then wed be able to contract it theoretically

I appreciate this longer style video.

nerd explains thanks for the advice i will hope to survive the zombie apocalypse with your tips

...and they stand right in front of the windows as the military goes by when they painted the house to be empty.

This movie was unwatchably stupid before COVID, it's practically rage bait idiocy now

Love your channel. You and my dog Harriet got me through covid.

Note about WA State: they passed a magazine ban to limit ammunition and there are waiting periods for handguns. I think they did the "21 to buy scary rifles" thing, too. All of which are part of lawsuits in California (9th circuit, same as WA) and should legit be struck down per NYSRPA v Bruen. But that won't happen for a while if at all.

Fell asleep to these videos and woke up 30 minutes into an hour long ad lmfao

Why are the Comments in the Video "How to Beat the EVIL TEDDY BEAR in IMAGINARY", the next you uploaded after this one, disabled?

One hour nerd video? Yes please 🙏

9:30 this could maybe be possible with rabies, but not cordyceps. Ant and human brains are simply far too different in complexity and size.

Hell yeah perfect timing! I was just watching an older Nerd Explains episode ❤

I watched even though i have a fear of worms

This movie is rly educational actually. If youre in an zombie pandemic of some sort. You can pretty much do the opposite off whatever these two idiot sisters did

Gotta love nerd explains

Loving the longer videos

I love seeing miss Analeigh the ANTM girlies are working 🤩

The siblings remind me of my own sister during peak COVID period, where the virus was extremely lethal and the government was trying its best to maintain order and quarantine red zones. My sister would constantly nagging me to go to movie theaters, went out to eat etc, basically going out in public because she felt "suffocated" being inside. When I said no, she would mock me being a party pooper and that the virus wasn't serious ( "it was just another flu thingy", her words) So while it was really annoying to see how these sisters acted, it wasn't unrealistic, considering how I had to endure with one stupidity like that. If it wasn't for our parents calling her directly to scold her (we lived abroad for studying and working), she would continued trying to drag me out, all because she needed someone to hang out with.

Too bad we never saw the mom. We will never know, if she's got it going on.

49:08 thermal imagining can't "see" through walls, as in detect any real detail, but you can detect heat signatures through solid objects like a wall. I'd say fiber insulation in most American homes exterior walls would prevent this however, but inside a home one could probably detect heat signatures through interior walls.

Im enjoying the much longer videos

Under two hours, under 10k views,under 100 comments! Great vid!

Bro why you turn ur comments off for the new video wanted to be the first in there

i think im in love with nerd explains

Love your videos

I refuse to believe the director had an above room temp IQ. If you were bombed by a B-2 Stealth Bomber, it'd be flying so high up, you wouldn't see it with a telescope.

Oh hey, I remember making this virus in Pandemic

Gotta love the Barack Obama jumpscare early in the video

Would be intresting to see you and Roanoke gaming talking about potential zombie plagues

How to beat the bigfoot in abominable 2006

Why is it that ever movie about a disease has to make it a zombie movie?

Woo nice job. This better than normal

I would have told the military about that party so fast it would be unreal, hell no am I letting a parasite zombie virus swap meet going unraided

Is that MGK as CJ? Yikers

My family have a few med students and I’m a nerd. A rage/zombie virus is close to impossible even to artificially create. Firstly reanimation of a human for something like a virus or parasite is impossible. Think of insects bodies and their brains, relatively easy compared to a human body. Having a host control movement, sight, reaction and all of that would be incredibly complex especially long term. Secondly having it happen from a bite, scratch or slight exposure again for humans is not something that could happen. The immune system would instantly boot up the moment it’s detected, and let’s say it fights through the immune system. A) I doubt a small bit can control all of you and all the complexities. B) Your body decomposing would be hard on it. No blood stream around a massive body, meaning it would have to expand energy to spread ad fight. Muscle atrophy causing weakness. Your eyes decomposing so you cant see. Finally, objective. Taking over insects and spreading that way is way easier than evolving and/or expanding energy to control and fight a human body. The risk to reward of it is just not smart. Life’s objective is to multiply. In the far future possible short term control could happen, but actual “zombies” that we know don’t make sense. Ever wondered how all walkers in the walking dead after years somehow still have eyes? They’d be long gone. Same with their muscle tissue and brain.

Love the channel, hate the long ass ads

I recommend for next video to make a "how to beat "contracted" " it's a two part movie about someone turning into a zombie in the very first instances of a zombie outbreak

Great vid thank you 😊

why is comments disabled on the latest vid?

If I were to watch this movie personally. I'd be more suspenseful and irritated over the decisions being made by the characters, instead of the actual zombies chasing them.

The best part about this is that I know a lot of people who would act the exact same.

you should make a playlist for movies you covered that you deemed were Unbeaten

The most interesting and frightening aspect of disease is that it can adapt and evolve very fast.

The slow decent into madness that is you trying to deal with the level of stupid from these people is just 10/10.

Good boy need explains for using the OG background music, and I love the more scientific videos

May i suggest that we upgrade the peasant spear into a peasant halberd, the design is mostly the same with the difference that you also have a secont knife positioned horizontally ( look real halberd online ). I think it's worth the extra effort, not only because it allows you to deal more damage with swing attacks, but also because zombies don't feel pain and don't have self-preservation instincts. If you use a spear like the one Nerd shows in the video, you will need to hit the bones to stop it. If you hit a softspot they'll just impale themselves to get close to you like that guy at the end of 300 and then you'll be fucked. The same knife positioning but cutting the broomhandle in half for an homemade war pick as a side arm if you lose the pole arm is also recommended.

"After all worked out perfectly for your parents, right? What? Too soon?" Hahahah that got me

The stupidity in this movie is making me lose brain cells.

34:03 actually with California law the max magazine capacity is 10 rounds. So they are fucked fucked.

I’m actually upset that the protagonists survived this. I mean from a purely logical perspective they wouldn’t have survived, and from a Darwinism perspective it probably would have been better had these two not been included in the small population of humanity left to reproduce. #liability

Me already having watched this video I; the future I can comment already baby 😂

Using Trump image as if he's the one who said it wasn't extremely contagious is crazy 😂

See the thing with the Corona virus was everyone did take it serious at first. Then when some people realized people had lost their minds and were way over reacting, that's when the push-back started.

Good show

you're doing the lords work by watching these movies for us. you have no idea how upset i get whenever i get to watch them

I love how half the subtitles are just cussing the protags out

Hello, I have been following your channel for a while. Can you please do REC or REC 2 at some point? Thank you!

I liked this video.

Could you please do a “how to beat” video on a movie called “attraction” or it’s second part? It has cool alien water benders and giant space ships capable of deep faking , controlling mass media and framing people for domestic terrorism. And it has a cool revolution and a government corruption scheme.(It also has a cool underwater scene).I am asking for the one hundred and forty fourth time and will continue asking.

u shoulda had this sponsorship a month ago i just started scent bird

WHY TF DO THEY KEEP DROPPING THE WEAPONS

yeesh, that movie is infuriating. thanks for breaking it down for us o.o
