2Nerds and an Actor

What's good y'all? We're back in the saddle, chatting it up with DC specialist and fangirl supreme: Fanboy Fighter  @FantasticFrankey  Had to enlist the good homie to discuss the finer points of the new DC Studios' Supergirl movie. 2Nerds and an Actor is back, tune in and talk that talk with us! 00:00 Cold Open: Supergirl, Love Island & Twerking 00:52 Welcome to 2Nerds and an Actor 01:16...

Back in 2022, 2Nerds and an Actor released the inaugural episode of And Guest, and we're ready to keep the good vibes going! If you didn't tune in the first time, now is your chance to catch up on our chat with the Tony Award-winning Playwright, Executive Producer, Writer, and dear friend of ours, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins. We get into his inspiring work with HBO's Watchmen as well as his adaptation...

And Guest hosts Frantz and Aisha welcome the multi-faceted entrepreneur Love Jones to the mic. Love has been in the entertainment business for over 15 years, starting a casting agency at the age of 17! We chat about her love of Black nerdom and feeling seen now that Blerds are coming together stronger than ever. She recalls her late mother and the inspiration to live a full life, which means wanti...

It's been a long time we shouldna left you without a dope beat to step to... Yes, the nerds and actors are back with the next wave of podcast plundering. We took some time to figure out our stuff annnnnd still haven't figured it out, but why not keep chatting about the stuff we love? In this episode, we sit down with the content creator and Disney Blerd herself, Tiffie Starchild. Not only does she...

Welcome to the debut episode of 2Nerds and an Actor and Guest! We're kicking it with some of the folks behind our favorite things and bringing you with us. On this episode of 'And Guest' Playwright and Writer/Executive Producer of FX's Kindred, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins! An old friend of the podcast, we get into his transition from stage to screen, adapting Octavia Butler's work for TV, and consultin...

Just like that, season 5 comes to an end. On the season 5 finale of 2Nerds and an Actor, we review The Matrix Resurrections while trying to hide our disappointment and enter the world of Wheel Of Time. We take a moment to remember the life of acting legend Sidney Poitier, run down the next big things in the nerd-o-sphere while we bring you this Bronx-based frivolity on season 5 episode 13 of 2Nerd...

As 2021 comes to a close, feels like everything is coming out of the woodwork. The most anticipated movie of the year and the least anticipated show of the year show up close by and get reviewed by us!  We get knee-deep into the Disney+ series Hawkeye and the next MCU entry, Spider-Man: No Way Home. This and more Bronx-based devilries on season 5 episode 12 of 2Nerds and an Actor.   Intr...

Things are still very hell in a handbasket in the world, but hey, in a world where Chris Pratt is the voice of both Garfield and Mario - anything is possible. In this episode, we lament the choices that led to AstroWorld and the Alec Baldwin shooting. We also review (and later spoil) Marvel's Eternals and FX's Y The Last Man. Keep it locked and listen in for more Bronx-based rascality on Season 5...

What's goodie!?!? This go-round we review Warner Brother's new Dune movie starring Willy Wonka and MJ alongside a recap of Marvel's fun cinematic universe loophole-a-thon, What If...? We also recap things that happened in and around New York Comic-Con and wonder aloud if it was even a good idea to have in the midst of a pancetta/panorama/pan pizza/parallelogram. Does Dune blow the original out of...

For better or for worse, we vaxxed and we outsiiiiddddeee!! All this to say, we went to the movies as a squad again for the first time in a long time to see Marvel's Shang-Chi.  The 2Nerds team caught up on ScarGate, jumped back into What If...?  and got blown away by Nia DaCosta being named first Black woman director with a box office #1 (how, Sway?). This and more Bronx-based mischief...

Running it back to make sure y'all get these takes! We dive into  the unknown of Disney+'s What If...? and see what's popping with DC's new Suicide Squad. We may or may not have access to a leaked photograph of some upcoming Marvel project, but you've got to listen to find out. This and more Bronx-based knavery on Season 5, episode 8 of 2Nerds and an Actor.   Intro/Ov...

We have arrived at this point again where we have to ask what year this is. For real though, we did a double-take reading our agenda and realizing the nostalgia train is running overtime as we reviewed Space Jam: Legacy and Masters of the Universe: Revelations. On the chopping block this go-round is LeVar Burton's Jeopardy run and its implications, Michaela Coel's casting in Black Panther: Wakanda...

What's good y'all?!? We're talking up the Loki finale and the Black Widow movie because Marvel's Phase Four is kinda dominating the streaming wars. Emmy nominations are on deck while we weigh in on the Lovecraft Country cancelation and a couple of promising trailers. This and our run-of-the-mill Bronx-bred skullduggery on Season 5, Episode 6 of 2Nerds and an Actor. Intro/Overview: (0:13) 
 Nerdy L...

Coming to you live from what looks like the end of the world, it's...Us! Yeah, Netflix's Sweet Tooth hit a little too close to home, but we watched and reviewed it. Of course, we had to make sure we saw Fast 9, by hook or by crook. It confirmed our earlier suspicions that it could become the most franchise-able series ever. That, some Snow White and Willy Wonka casting rumors, and a few cool...

We dive into HBO Max's In The Heights, or better said, the place where the Heights is said to have been. There were discrepancies. No double parking? No dirt bikes 'ming ming-ing'? No dembow blasting? Also, we chop it up about the first two episodes of Disney+'s Loki. We know we have no idea what is happening or what is going to happen, but listen to our guesses! This and more on Season 5, episode...

Next up on the 2Nerds and an Actor saga of catching up to 2021 content is Netflix's second season of mixed media sci-fi madness Love+Death+Robots and the Disney+ reimagining of Cruella. Watching both really made us wonder what the reasoning was for the Disney villain flicks and whether L+D+R lived up to the anticipation. This go-round we take on the Sandman casting announcements and the Fast & Fur...

The team FINALLY saw the Snyder Cut of Justice League and it's kind of like we did y'all a favor by waiting. Aisha goes off about Lois Lane, and there were no lies detected. We reflected on the work of Paul Mooney and imagined what he would say about the race issues with the Golden Globes. We also chopped it up about Jupiter's Legacy and the next few Batman projects since DC doesn't care about ANY...

It's been a long time, shouldn't have left you, without a podcast to geek to. So, after our pandemic hiatus, we realized we were gonna have to recap the last few months. This one's a doozy, but we had to hop the turnstile to get on the hype train for the Feige/Marvel announcements. In the midst of all this, Judas and the Black Messiah, Mortal Kombat, WandaVision, and Invincible dropped. So yeah, s...

With the new year in full swing, we at 2Nerds and an Actor had to bring it back come rewind for December's Disney Investor Day announcements. Real talk, those reveals hit and lifted the morals of nerdy content consumers the world over. It felt like when the elf reinforcements popped out to Helm's Deep in The Two Towers. Or when Okoye, T'Challa, and Shuri walked through the portal in Endgame....

As a hellish year comes to a close we are gifted, in kind, with DC's Wonder Woman 1984 and Pixar's Soul. We reviewed them and really had to consider whether these releases were entirely on-brand for 2020 or not. Spoiler alert, they were. We at 2Nerds and an Actor have been mulling over whether Leticia Wright will either be canceled or minimized for her uninformed vaccination comments on Twitter. D...

The fate of Deadpool 3 rests in the hands of some great writers (who are also women!). We talk Mandalorian frog, egg and cheese eating fiascos and review Netflix's Over The Moon on this episode of 2Nerds and an Actor.   Intro/Overview: (0:13)   Nerdy Leaks  Deadpool 3 is on!: (1:57) Johnny Depp Legal Woes: (6:10) Christmas Time Movie Releases: (12:07)    Shout Outs/Ho...

While simultaneously holding our breath through what feels like Election Month, we checked out Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm and the final episodes of Lovecraft Country. Gal Gadot and Patty Jenkins are doing a Cleopatra movie, and Oscar Issac is in talks to join the MCU as Moon Knight. Meanwhile, the Demon Slayer OVA breaks box office records in Japanese theaters. Remember those? Movi...

This episode of 2Nerds and an Actor, we discussed the shrinking landscape of TV & film. We really have to wonder if the movie theater industry will survive this pandemic. If theaters were waiting for 'Tenet' and James Bond to revive the movies, that ain't it. We reviewed The Boys season finale and Vampires Vs. The Bronx. As a Bronx-based podcast, expect to hear us do the most. As we were looking a...
