The Openly Nerdy Podcast

Join us as we get back on our Road to Doomsday series, this time we talk about the Thunderbolts* or as Alexi declares them The AvengerZ (with a Z). This movie is so much fun and so well done. The one real misstep is the killing off of Taskmaster. It was such a waste of what could've been such a rich character. The rest of the film really moved nicely. The writing, the direction, the acting. I...

The next series in the Marvel Series lineup is here! The first 2 episodes of VisionQuest are now out.

Paul Bettany is back as Vision and James Spader resurrects his Ultron character which we have not seen since 2015. This is a...

Join us as we continue our Road to Doomsday. This week we discuss Captain America: Brave New World. We talk about what we liked and didn't like about the film and how our opinions on the film have changed since our first watch. We agree it's in 4th place out of 4 Captain America movie, however, we both find it an enjoyable and fun movie. What did you think of Brave New World and how do you...

Join us as we discuss The Fantastic Four: First Steps and how it fits in the MCU and the Road to Doomsday. Overall, we both liked the film. It was highly entertaining, well cast and written. It was a good introduction, without having a lengthy origin story again. We got a news tabloid (think TMZ) telling of their origin and a couple battle summaries. This allowed the main story to flow more quickl...

We're back for another week! We talk about a lot of things from the upcoming Marvel movies/shows and an array of geekdom. We talk most this week about the Marvel announcements from San Diego Comic Con and debate, did we get a lot or a little from the Hall H announcements. We have slightly different views. Will there be more announcements at the D23 Convention (Disney's bi-yearly con)?

Adrian & Sean are back again! There seems to be some culture shift against streaming and digital access with the. younger generations purchasing more physical copies of media. When you "purchase" a digital copy there really is no ownership, it's a license to use the copy while the hosting site holds the rights. As this is all starting Sony announces no more physical games for PS5...

We're back at it! After a brief 4.5 year hiatus Openly Nerdy has returned to the world of podcasts. We know it's been a minute but we've been missing podcasting and geeking out and there's no time like the present! We play a bit of catchup and talk about what we've been up to. And of course, with its recent release we talk about Deadpool & Wolverine! So yes, there are spoil...

I think at this point, we just need to be called the Mandalorian Podcast. What’s Openly Nerdy? Like the title says, we recap The Mandalorian season 2 and talk about that scene with some Jedi that people have been clamoring for since the conclusion of Return of the Jedi. His name rhymes with Duke. We speculate a little about season 3 and whine about what we are going to do with our time now until n...

We’re having information over...

Have you ever been gatekeeped? Have you ever gatekeeped someone else? What the heck is gatekeeping? On this week’s episode of The Openly Nerdy Podcast, Adrian and Sean get into this controversial topic and let you know what it is and how you can avoid being a jerk about any fandom that you love. It’s all about being respectful and trying to bring people in rather than push people away. Then we get...

Well, we were supposed to discuss--in detail--whether we read the books on our pull lists or not (we still do) but we were side tracked by season 2 episode 4 of The Mandalorian! Openly Nerdy lives up to its namesake and analyzes some of the more salient plot points and hopefully convey to you why these are important to the overall Star Wars mythos. Adrian provides his knowledge on the Legends mate...

Well, the Russo brothers have mentioned Secret Wars in the news yet again. But what is this secret war that the Avengers, I mean, Russo brothers keep mentioning?  The Openly Nerdy Crew break it down for you and primarily discuss the 2015 story (as opposed to the one published in 1984) and give you some of the major plot points, the major players, and how we think the lead up in the MCU could...

On our latest episode, Sean and Adrian talk Swamp Thing and other scary stories that go bump in the night. Don't worry, this podcast episode won't be creepy or scary but we do talk scary stories and go in-depth (not too in-depth because we'll be talking for hours) on Swamp Thing pertaining to both the recent DC Universe show as well as his comic book origins and what he has been doing recently *co...
