Look! It's a nerd! It's a podcast! It's a nerdy podcast about the importance of Superman just as a new iteration of the trunks wearing titan appears on the big screen. Why do people say Superman is boring? Why does he constantly get compared to Batman? And really, was that N64 game more fatal to Superman's reputation than a pocketful of Kryptonite? Our hosts both analyze and celebrate the man of steel, talking as passionately and enthusiastically as we all wish Henry Cavill got to do in even just one of his movies.

If you watched the janky oddity that is the 2017 Death Note movie or the Scarlet Johansson Ghost in the Shell that also came out in 2017 (what a tough year) this is the episode for you! Anime is massive and yet a successful live action adaptation of one that's as good as the source material seems harder to find than the one piece treasure (With One Piece being the exception that breaks the rule) . Jake explains why this is and we all analyze some of the attempts including Cowboy Bebop, the insanity that is the Wachowski's Speed Racer, and yes even Dragon Ball Evolution because we love entertaining you more than we respect ourselves.

Hi ho nerdy listeners!!! Be our guest as we discuss the whole new world of Disney Live Action remakes over the past decade or so. Some have been great and some have been bippity boppity garbage. Our three hosts who have the wit of Timon and look more like Pumba delve into this cinematic phenomenon. And yes we watched the new Snow White and never once say "go woke go broke" and not just because everyone else has.

Are we born nerds or are we raised to be them? What impact does our environment have on who we are and what we love and just how important are the people around us? Our hosts open up about how they were raised and whether or not they think they were meant to still love Mario and She Hulk in their 40s. This one's got Jake deep diving into genetics, Holden's attempts at getting his dad to play Balatro, and Mike talking about how the games of the Sega Genesis allow him and his brother to honor their dead dad. Then we read some lovely letters from you the listeners about your upbringings and journeys. This one gets emotional but in the best way possible.

Well throw on your leisure suit, escape monkey island and join us as Holden takes us through the history of humor in video games in an episode demanded by all those Toe Jam and Earl and Boogerman fans.

Holden talks us through that once beloved tradition that was born of both cinema and corporate synergy: The summer movie song. Whether it was Seal grinding on a Bat Signal, Kenny Loggins singing about jet planes, or a montage of Mr. T set to a pulse pounding track about tiger eyes, the summer movie song was everywhere...until it just wasn't anymore. What exactly happened and more importantly what are our cohosts going to pick as their three favorite summer movie songs of all time (from the early 80s to the early 2000s honestly). And please let us know your favorite because unlike Aerosmith, we probably did miss a thing.

Face front true believers and angry accusers!!! It's the trial of the century where we argue about that guy that was almost alive for a century: Stan Lee. Is this man also this monster we've made him out to be? That passionate prosecutor Mike Lawrence takes on diligent defense dork Jake Young while Holden (and you listeners) reach a verdict. Is Stan Lee the astonishing architect of a beloved universe or is he merely the housekeeper of ideas that stole a bunch of stuff when no one was looking?
