As we approach the end of August, and the warm embrace of summer turns into the chill, laid back high-five of fall, the summer movie season draws to a close. There won’t be many more flashy blockbusters coming our way in 2015: the Age of Ultron is over and Jurassic World has closed their gates. We can’t all go see Star Wars: The Force Awakens every weekend in December, (just kidding – we totally will), so here are a few movies you might not have on your geeky-radar that we’re looking forward to checking out in the second half of this year.

Join Jessica Chobot on today’s Nerdist News as we run down the seven movies we think will appeal to the geek inside us all: from big space epics like The Martian to heart-warming zombie tales like Cooties.

Thanks for watching today’s episode! In case you missed it, check out our list of the best-worst movie raps from last week’s Nerdist News WTFridays, and let us know in the comments what movies you’re excited to see later this year!
