The Nerfherder Council

Clone Wars, Bad Batch, Rebels, Resistance, Tales of the Jedi, The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, Skeleton Crew… Dave Filoni has been involved in nearly everything Star Wars for the last two decades. Is it a good thing to have everything connect and push the same characters/stories, or is it too much for casual fans to take in? We look at the so-called “Filoniverse” and its good and bad poi...

The Mandalorian has wrapped its third season, and we take an episode-by-episode look at the highs and lows of the latest 8 chapters of Din Djarin’s journey – and question whether it’s still his journey or not! #starwars #mando #mandalorian #bokatan #grogu #disneyplus

We’re back after a show off and we’ve got all the info from Star Wars Celebration Europe! We’ll also be talking Bad Batch, Mando, you name it… it’s basically a news dump as only the NHC can provide it!

The Mandalorian is finally back for a new season on Disney+! We review season 3, episode 1: The Apostate in true spoilerrific fashion! #starwars #mando #mandalorian #grogu #disneyplus

With Marvel and DC dropping huge new trailers this past week, we decided it was time to give our thoughts on Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3, and The Flash! #antman #guardiansofthegalaxy #theflash #mcu #marvel #dc #dceu

Let’s face it… the fourth installment in the Indiana Jones franchise is pretty much maligned by almost all fans of the series. Let’s also face it… most of those people are WRONG! On this episode, JT and special guest host Sean Faust explain why this movie is criminally underrated and deserves a lot more respect than it gets! #indianajones #crystalskull #moviereview

We are back with our first show of 2023 and we are digging into the highly anticipated sequel to the biggest movie of all time – Avatar – as we give our thoughts on Avatar: The Way Of Water! #moviereview #avatar #avatar2

We’ve finally gotten a PROPER sequel to the 1983 Christmas classic A Christmas Story – but does it live up to the hype? Does it even come anywhere CLOSE to the original? We dig into HBO Max’s “A Christmas Story Christmas” – and revisit JT’s all-time favorite Christmas movie, “A Christmas Story”! (That’s a lot of Christmas…)

We’ve finally gotten all 12 episodes of Andor and we can’t wait to give our thoughts on it! Is this the best Star Wars show Disney+ has given us… or do we need to reserve judgement until we’ve seen Season 2? (Real answer: it depends on what you’re looking for from a Star Wars show!)

Let’s face it… Rogue One just kicks all KINDS of, err… butt. With the ongoing Andor series winning almost universal praise from Star Wars fans of all ages, we thought that we’d go back and revisit just why Rogue One is such a perfect slab of Star Wars greatness – and there’s no one better to do it with than our good friend and admitted R1 superfan Cris Macht &#8...

Although these movies are frequently derided by fans and critics alike, we here on the NHC (well, JT at least) really enjoy them! For our second Halloween-themed episode, we dive into the many reasons why we love the Rob Zombie Halloween films – along with a very special co-host and massive horror fan… JT’s stepdaughter Drew!

Pinhead is back… this time on Hulu! With the remake of Clive Barker’s horror classic now streaming, it’s time to look at the original and the re-imagining and tear their souls apart! No tears for these movies, please. It’s a waste of good suffering.

Four episodes of “Andor” are in the books! Sparing you the suspense, we love it. We dive into the series, give our first impressions, guess what’s coming, and read your questions and comments live on air – with a few diversions here and there. We *are* the Nerfherder Council, after all!

It’s an NHC first! We’re going over to the dark side and talking some Trek! It’s the 40th anniversary of Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan, so we decided to dig into the film in detail and give our opinions and recollections of a movie that’s SO good that even hardcore Star Wars nerds can’t deny its greatness!

Part two of a two-parter! We tackle the MCU’s Infinity Saga on this episode, ranking them from last to first. Last episode, we hit the bottom half of our lists and went from 12 to 23! This time we hit the top half of our lists and find out which film each of us has ranked as the king (or queen) of all the Infinity Saga movies!

Part one of a two-parter! We tackle the MCU’s Infinity Saga on this episode, ranking them from last to first. In this episode, we hit the bottom half of our lists and go from 12 to 23! Which movie has the unwanted distinction of being the “worst” of the entire lineup? Let’s find out!

Two big screen outings for Bruce Banner told very similar – and very different – stories. We look at what worked, what didn’t, and who did it better in this face-off between Green Goliaths!

Marvel is definitely a juggernaut (no pun intended) and has had a long streak of putting out nothing short of fantastic content. But with the current Phase 4 releases – are they still at the peak of their creative powers or have they lost a step?

Now that “Kenobi” is in the books, we take a look at the series as a whole and call out the good, the bad, and the cringy! Don’t worry, though: we have the high ground.

We recently got back from Anaheim and Star Wars Celebration, and boy have we got stories to tell you (#Lukeparaphrase)!

On our final episode before we hit the road for Anaheim and Celebration 2022, we bring on the man who started it all – Star Wars legend Dan Madsen! From Star Wars Insider to the Star Wars Fan Club to creating the very first Celebration, Dan has been a massive presence in the SW universe for close to three decades!

Star Wars has had literally thousands of storylines over the decades, and they may not always get everything right. What would you have done differently if the script was in your hands?? We have some ideas. It’s time for some fan-fiction!

With Celebration Anaheim fast approaching we bring on special guest host, fellow podcaster and 501st Legion member Justin Oldham! We discuss all things cosplay, Celebration, and the world’s largest Star Wars fan club!

Let’s face it – every time a movie kicks ass, the fans want a sequel. In most cases, the subsequent film doesn’t live up to expectations – but every once in a while, one comes along that meets or even surpasses expectations! On this episode, we give OUR picks for favorite/best sequels!

Ever sit there watching a film from a really well-loved and respected franchise and think “hmm… but the rest of the movies are pretty bad!” Well, we have too – so on this episode, we discuss exactly that!
