On this special episode of 2Nerds and an Actor, we went digging in the crates to bring you our chat about Justin Tipping and Jordan Peele’s HIM. The only way to have this convo about where Black history and sports history meet was to have our guest and good friend Dr. Amira Rose Davis on. You know, Professor, author, and former athlete Amira Rose Davis? Yeah, HER.We went everywhere with this one....

Avatar Studios dropping new heat after twelve years in the desert? You know we have to chat about Avatar: Seven Havens, it means too much to us not to! The look, the feel, the continuation of the lore - we touch on all of it. Watching the first two episodes left us with more questions than answers. Why is Korra a cautionary boogeyman tale? What was the cataclysm? Why are there only seven human cit...

What’s good y’all?! Since the DCU is on a generational run with its’ properties we had to run it back one time for the Lanterns finale! There were too many question shaped answers for us not to get into it. Who killed Hal? Who pretended to kill Hal? Why is Sinestro wearing clearance rack jeans? Just so many important questions! Who better to help us answer these questions than Milestone Initiative...

We’re back on the case trying to figure out Hal’s murder right along with the rest of y’all. This go-round we’re focusing on the 7th episode of Lanterns, “The Jordan Boys’ Legacy”. We felt like there was so much going on under the surface that it needed a deep dive. Mental health took the wheel and hella lore got casually dropped on this week’s Lanterns. It feels like the show took a tone shift an...

It’s never too late to show love to brilliant cinema so we had to give it up to last year’s folk horror banger, Sinners! We sat down with actor, writer, and filmmaker Tarik Davis to chat about our love for this movie. We really tried to talk about everything under the sun (no pun intended). With two actors on set, Tarik and Aisha get real about the state of the film and TV industry. The gatekeepin...

This Summer has been wild for the nerd world. We’ve been eating pretty swell this far, and we’re about to get a whole lot more. In this episode we try to wrap our heads around the insane amount of casting news that’s come to light. From the Harry Potter series reboot, a shuffling of their Gilderoy Lockhart casting, although no one’s divination skills can figure out why that one happened. On the se...

You know what time it is! The podcast is coming at y’all live from OA with a convo about HBO’s Lanterns. We can’t talk about how cool we think the show is without talking about the Ryan Reynolds movie. Like, that one definitely crawled through CGI uniforms so this one could fly. We get to the bottom of where we think this show is taking Gunn’s DCU, since the tone is so different from Superman and...

In a very special episode of 2Nerds and an Actor, host Aisha gets the utmost pleasure of sitting down with the legendary talent and voice of X-Men's Rogue, Lenore Zann.

Zann talks about growing with Rogue from the OG X-Men animated series through the current revival X-Men '97....

What’s good, people?! We’re jumping back into the wild world of Westeros to chat about House of the Dragon season three. You’ll notice Mike is cool and calm recalling things from the show, but Aisha and Frantz had to catch up from season one(!). So, after running through three seasons of GoT:HotD in four days we got all kinds of fever dream takes on deck. From how certain houses…’keep it in the fa...

Welcome back to this Danger Room session, y’all! The trio just had to mic up so we could chop it up about X-Men ‘97 Season Two! The anticipation’s been building and it’s finally back and the hype train is leaving the station. We get into the fly outfits and character designs with a light dive on the many deep cut references. We explore why the pacing of the show felt different this time around. Ca...

What's good people? This go-round were chatting up Christopher Nolan's take on The Odyssey. Between the controversial casting, the racist backlash, the giant budget, and calls for historical accuracy - we got A LOT to say. So much in fact, we had to bring in the homie, lover of Greek mythology and multimedia multi-hyphenate, Valerie Complex to chop it up. So pull up, tap in, and rock with us on th...

We try to work out if Marvel is making Peter the face of the MCU or not, if MJ...
