Hey all... hat-in-hands moment... I am so sorry for not posting anything about the break I've been on... but sadly I'm still figuring out how to navigate this podcast with the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes still ongoing... the long and short of it is, I'm no longer going to be putting out the content I've been putting out. I hope to get back to it soon. But until the writers and actors...

I still can't believe we're already on season 2... this show flies by quicker than a night creature! In this episode, different players within Dracula's court continue their own schemes, Sypha says goodbye to her family, and Trevor decides it's time to revisit what remains of his. As always, the action, comedy, and character work being done here... peak. Don’t forget to follow me o...

SURPRISE! I'm covering something I never would've thought I would, the first two episodes of Adult Swim's My Adventures with Superman . In short, it was f*cking GREAT. I am so looking forward to watching more of Clark Kent's origin story play out, how his relationship with Lois Lane will unfold, and how he and Jimmy Olsen will be put to the test in their new internship at the Daily...

We're already.... on the finale? Yes, that's right. The shortest first season of all time draws to a close today as our main trio rounds out with the additions of Sypha and Alucard to the gang, at long last. Trevor's gonna have companionship whether he likes it or not. Meanwhile, the city of Gresit grapples with the impending attack of Dracula's horde, Trevor re-learns what it real...

It's finally time to talk about my favorite bisexual vampires! Let's dive into the first two episodes of the very short first season of Netflix's Castlevania. All these episodes really do is serve as introductions for our antagonist and protagonist (one of them, anyway) and set the stage for what the rest of this series is going to be about. We're going all the way back to the 15th...

Hey all! Firstly, I sincerely apologize for the lateness of this episode... but the good news is, I'm making up for it with two next week. But first, I wanted to lay a bit of groundwork before we get into Netflix's Castlevania proper. Just a bit of a shallow dive on the history of the game series, and what to expect for the animated series. Hopefully this holds y'all over till I can ge...

SPOILERS FOR SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE Well, y'all, Sony has done it again... giving us the two BEST Spidey movies in the first two entries to the Spider-Verse saga was never something I would've imagined, and yet here they are. In a word, Across the Spider-Verse is, a masterpiece; whatever criticisms I might have are so minor they are hardly worth mentioning. I absolutely adore...

The long-awaited Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 coverage is here at last! This week, I had an absolutely lovely discussion with my friend Rach, and we got into all the nitty gritty, all the love, all the joy, all the heartbreak of this stunning, gorgeous movie. We may be saying goodbye to the original Guardians team, but all good things come to an end, and maybe even open a door to something new....

This. Episode. Has. Everything. Action, tension, emotion, you name it. Jayce and Silco attempt to broker a peace, Mel is still dealing with her mother's antics, and Vi and Jinx meet once again.

In the penultimate episode of season 1, mothers and daughters butt heads, accidental transformations take place, and gay subtext comes as close as it has to gay text so far in this series. I apologize for the lateness on getting this one out, I've had an absolutely insane week, but I am doing everything I can to turn things around! Don’t forget to follow me on my Twitter and Instagram @nerdygi...

We're in the home stretch now! This episode, we'll see some old(er) familiar faces, certain relationships get stronger, others get weaker, and the tensions within and between Piltover and Zaun reaching its boiling point. I also briefly touch on my thoughts about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but keep an eye out for a full length, in-depth review and discussion about it. In short, all you...

Caitlyn... that's gay. Welcome to the gay-ground, where we get to see Vi and Caitlyn's relationship deepen, Jinx's mental illness intensify, and Viktor's physical illness worsen. Silco struggles to maintain control of his own operations, Marcus struggles to maintain his cool in the midst of it all, and Heimerdinger faces the biggest betrayal of the series yet. Grab your tissues and...

Ooooooh now things are really heating up! Caitlyn and Vi get to know each other as they venture into the undercity to continue Cait's investigation, Silco and Marcus find themselves at odds over Jinx, who is still struggling with her PTSD; up on the topside, Mel shows Jayce the political ropes of Piltover as well as her more intimate side, while Viktor pours himself into his work with the inte...

We are finally entering Powder's villain era... an absolutely catastrophic time for her but an excellent time for me. Unfortunately, that also means we're entering Caitlyn's enforcer era and Jayce's flop era, but we have to take the wins and losses with the same amount of grace. I for one, am very here for all that's happening and I am completely stoked to continue on this jour...

At long last, welcome back to Nerdy Girl Reviews! After a weekend away and a week to rest after, I am finally back with my coverage of season 1, episode 3 of Netflix’s Arcane, “The Base Violence Necessary for Change,” and wowie, was this ever a good one. Grab a blanket and some tissues for this one. You’re gonna need ‘em. Don’t forget to follow me on my Twitter and Instagram @nerdygirlpod, my Tumb...

Welcome back to the playground! Today I'm delving even deeper into the wonderful world of Arcane, which includes but is not limited to, some character backstories, police chases, and magic galore. This episode also introduces us to two of our topsider protagonists, Caitlyn and Jayce, and shows us how they fit into the larger story, as well as why Jayce is the way he is. Underground, we get to...

Soooooo this is a bit of a shorter episode, but I am very excited to be watching this show again! It was even better than I remembered it and this was such a fun introduction to the world of Arcane. I anticipate future episodes will be a bit longer, but for now let's get into all there is to talk about with Vi, Powder, the rest of the wonderful cast of characters, as well as some of the world...

WARNING: This episode contains spoilers for ALL THREE Critical Role campaigns, so listen at your own risk!  I'm back again with yet another incoherent rambling of an episode to talk about the finale of Campaign 2 of Critical Role, as well as some current goings-on of Campaign 3, future plans to cover CR material on the pod, and more. I'll be back in a few days to talk about the first episode...

Welcome to a chaotic mess of a short update! I just wanted to check in to let y'all know that there will be no full episode this week. Tune in next week for the very first coverage episode of the next show we're watching!  Also, just wanted to catch everyone up on what I've been watching, the fact that I'm nearly done with Campaign 2 of Critical Role, and what I have planned for the future!&n...

Hello, bees! Welcome back to another episode featuring my dear friend Rebecca in which we dive a little deeper into all things shipping, specifically the ships of The Legend of Vox Machina, and Campaign 1 of Critical Role! This'll be another (campaign) spoiler-heavy episode, so if you're not inclined to being spoiled on major future story beats, it might be best to sit this one out. Otherwise, gra...

I am joined once again by guest Rebecca to talk all things season 2 of The Legend of Vox Machina! We had such a lovely talk and covered a lot of ground discussing all of our favorite and sadly, least favorite things about the most recent season of the show, but ultimately came to the conclusion that it is, of course, a remarkable season of television that we were happy to talk about at length. Com...

At long last and yet all too soon, season 2 of The Legend of Vox Machina has drawn to a triumphant close. Let's nerd out over all the delicious action, touching moments, and uncomfortable almost-incest between long-lost relatives. This is the closest this show will ever come to Game of Thrones and I am grateful for it lol. Tune in next week for a special season 2 wrap-up bonus episode! Let's all b...

Don't you just hate it when you visit your hometown and end up nearly getting corrupted by an incel in a tree? But hey, at least the guy you like gives you presents and stands up for you when your dad is being shitty! These episodes are all about character, and thankfully there's not a single bad one among the lot of them. Let's dive into all things fey, fatherhood, and fierce ladies who refuse to...

After a bit of a delay, I have finally passed through the fire that is editing and made it out the other side! This week I am joined by guest Rebecca to discuss all things ravens (or were they crows?), ships, evil talking swords, and more, as we embark on a very special extended episode of the pod. Don't forget to give me a follow on my Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, and send me an email wi...

Bidet! I am so ecstatic to be back to discuss the first three episodes of SEASON 2 of The Legend of Vox Machina! With a horrifying start and a heartbreaking ending to the third episode, there was obviously much to talk about, and well, it is covered in great detail. The Chroma Conclave touches down on Tal'Dorei, and Vox Machina is forced to start figuring out how to pick up the pieces while trying...
