The Nerfherder Council

We don’t know how it came to this, but it’s brother vs. brother on this episode of the NHC! AJ says he can easily spend 90 minutes shredding The Rise Of Skywalker while JT says he can spend an equal amount of time defending it. Who will come out on top??

Ready for some nonsense?? We’re stabbing away at Star Wars with a game of “Marry, Friend, Kill”! What would you keep forever, what would you tolerate, and what would you toss like an armed thermal detonator? We’re hitting all sides of the franchise on this one!

It’s almost May 4th and we’ve got a ton of Star Wars happenings we haven’t talked about yet! That changes now. We’re talking The Acolyte, Outlaws, Tales of the Empire, Skeleton Crew, Star Wars back in theaters, and revisiting that final duel between Obi Wan and Maul!

We’re nearing the end of the final season of Bad Batch… and we’ve definitely got some opinions on what we’ve seen so far and where we think this whole thing is going! Tune in as we give our thoughts on the final adventures of Huntah, Wrickah, Crussheeuh, and Omeega!

We ain’t afraid of no ghosts – and we’re not afraid to give our opinions on the latest installment of the Ghostbusters franchise: Frozen Empire! Does it stack up well against its predecessors, or was it released outside of blockbuster season for a reason?

Disney released The Black Hole in 1979 hoping to capitalize on the popularity of Star Wars – and didn’t really hit the mark. Whether you love or hate this film, there’s no doubt that it’s certainly… something… to behold! We review this cult classic Disney film and give our thoughts on how close to – or far away from – the mark the creators of this mo...

We’re on record as being big fans of the animated Clone Wars series Bad Batch… and while we’re sad to see it go after only three seasons, we’re excited to see what the upcoming final season holds in store for Clone Force 99! We give OUR thoughts on what we expect to be getting from this penultimate season of one of our favorite shows!

Our father passed away recently, so we thought it only fitting that we revisit the movie he took us to see that got us hooked on Star Wars in the first place! Join us for some fond and humorous remembrances, as well as new takes on the film that started it all: Episode IV, “A New Hope”.

Say what you want about the Star Wars prequels – but it’s common knowledge that Revenge of the Sith is the best of the three films. Or is it? Virtual Cantina legend Spencer Jawitz claims that Attack of the Clones is the best of the trilogy – and JT vehemently disagrees! On this episode, JT and Spencer go head to head to attempt to solve this debate once and for all!

We visited the Queen City – Cincinnati – over the holiday break to watch The Last Jedi on the big screen as the Cincinnati orchestra played the score live! We have always been fans of this film, but seeing it again in such a grandiose environment really got us in the mood to dig into it some more!

It’s the holiday season, and what says “Merry Christmas!” more than the NHC sitting down with another show – the excellent horror podcast Fright Lab, hosted by our amazing friend Joseph Wren – and digging into the instant holiday classic* Violent Night! I mean, let’s face it: if you can’t get into the holiday spirit by watching Santa kicking ass and taking...

Let’s face it… The Holiday Special is the most craptastic piece of work that has EVER been released in the Star Wars universe. Finally… someone has explained how it all came together! On this episode, we review the new documentary A Disturbance In The Force and finally get answers to the age-old questions – what the hell was going on and what the hell were they thinking??

We’re diving deep into the Filoni-verse and revisiting one of the most popular arcs of the Clone Wars series – the Mortis arc! JT is new to this, so the question is – will he love it or hate it since it’s one of the more oddball and expository portions of the Clone Wars?

On this episode we’re digging into a pretty crappy movie… the 2010 remake of the classic A Nightmare On Elm Street! It just isn’t good… but does one of us think it may be better than the original? If you want to know the answer… Don’t! Fall! Asleep!

Ahsoka is finally in the books, and we’re recapping the entire season – as only the NHC can! Was it good? Was it bad? Was it somewhere in between? Has JT softened on purrgil? What’s going on with the Hafu? We discuss it all!

Much has been made of the declining returns and reviews of post-Endgame MCU films, the DCEU is dead, and the DCU looks like it may be DOA. What’s to blame for all of this? We look into whether superhero movies are past their prime and how we got here.

Football season is upon us, and with SO many people playing fantasy football these days… we wondered. If we got together with some friends, what would our starship crew look like if we drafted them in the style of a fantasy football snake draft? On this episode… we do exactly that, along with our guest cohosts Spencer Jawitz and Jon Chiado from the Virtual Cantina Network!

We’re three episodes into “Ahsoka” now… what do WE think about the show? If you’re ACTUALLY wondering – you’ve come to the right place! If not, well… you’re already here, so you might as well keep listening, because we’ve got some spicy opinions!

Anakin’s apprentice gets her own show on Disney+ next week! JT and AJ take what we know so far and try to suss out where “Ahsoka” is going – and just how triggered JT will get when the purrgils show up.

Hello there! It’s a head-to-head battle over “Obi-Wan Kenobi” on Disney+. AJ says it’s overrated, JT says it’s underrated. Who will come out on top?? Hit us up on our socials and share your opinions!

We’ve finally gotten our first look at a DETAILED trailer for the upcoming Disney+ series Ahsoka, and – surprise, surprise – we’ve got opinions about it!

“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” is finally here! We’re unabashed Indy stans, so of course we saw it immediately and couldn’t wait to talk about this final franchise installment.

“Batman Returns” seems to be missing that special sauce of the original 1989 film – but why is that?? We dig into both of the Burton/Keaton Batman films and see where the first one went right and the sequel went wrong.

“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” is just weeks away! What better time to look back on the previous 4 installments – yes, we acknowledge Crystal Skull – and give our takes on what belongs in a museum, and what can stay lost in the jungle.

It’s the 40th anniversary of the release of “Return of the Jedi”, so what better time to throw a lovefest for AJ’s favorite Star Wars film? This is the first SW movie we saw in the theater together, so we have a big emotional connection to the fantastic conclusion to the OT – so strap in, grab some beat up stormtrooper helmets to bang on, and join us as we discuss Blu...
