Nerdy Show

Last year, the Central Florida Ghostbusters saved Orlando, and most likely the world, from an ancient evil that manifested a pyramid atop the arts district… You may have heard about it. We’ve been trying to get these guys on the show for ages, and we’ve finally got em’! Join Cap for a paranormal Halloween treat with The Central Florida Ghostbusters: La Forge, Wall, Briggs, Poole, and their General...

Featuring interviews with The Protomen, Capcom’s Brett Elston, and Charlie from Fangamer! Big things are brewing in the fandom of everyone’s favorite blue robot. Capcom Unity just announced a musical olive branch to the Mega Man community with two albums of Mega music – including new music by your favorite robot-themed nerd rockers and rappers, as well as Over-Clocked Remix. And what’s more – Keij...

Run for your lives! Nerdy Show Prime returns with a mega-sized episode dedicated to giant monsters and their natural enemies. From modern-day Kaiju to their mythic beginnings, we leave no stone un-hurled and no robot un-pummeled. Cap, Brandon, and Hex join forces with Wicked Anime‘s Jonathan and Andrew to summon the awesome knowledge needed to slay this beast. We interview Sunstone Games’ Simon St...

For decades masked heroes have taken the law into their own hands – but only on comic pages. However, in recent times the lines between fiction and reality have blurred, and indeed a few courageous souls have heeded the call to action. The Real Life Superhero Movement is a very real thing. All over North America, people are putting on costumes and fighting for what’s right. Some fight for social c...

Declassified just in time for the end times: The LONG LOST Nerdy Show Prime. Originally recorded in late 2010, this episode was seized by the FBI and only returned to us in June of this year. Join Cap, Hex, Mike, Brian, Brandon, and Jonna as we seek the truth behind UFOs, Atlantis, Paul McCartney, and every government cover-up in-between. Featuring interviews with the illusive blogger behind Crazy...

Our Nerdy Show Prime Fan Film Series continues! First we went below the surface and discussed Teenage Mutant Ninja Cinema, now we’re venturing out into the Wasteland in search of the perfect Nuka Break. Nuka Break is Wayside Creations‘ fan-funded web series based on the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout. The series is written by our very own Brian Clevinger, and co-created with Zack Finfrock. We’r...

Because you demanded it: BACON. The haters out there said “old meme is old” and you said “hell no”. You, nerds of discerning taste, wanted to see if Nerdy Show could possibly pack any more awesome into savory, fat-rippled pork products. You were 1,000% right. Yes, we produced a bacon-themed podcast where we meet bacon makers and came to an understanding of why Odin saw fit to bestow us with these...

We knew that our exploration of nerd music history would be lengthy, but we were surprised how deep the rabbit hole went. Recorded in one long sitting, dividing this episode into two parts was an on-the-spot decision. You can tell it’s gotten late, ’cause we’ve gotten a little loopy. Picking up where we left off - our adventure through nerd music history continues up to the present and into the fu...

On January 31st we lost a friend, brother, /co/merade, brony, poképhile, and so so so much more – the one, the only, the legendary: Triforce Mike. The night of Sunday, the 29th, he was hit by a car while biking. The crash put him into an unconsciousness from which he’d never wake. On the 30th, hundreds of people came to his hospital room to pay respects, friends and family arrived from out of town...

Winter holiday specials are a time honored tradition. Some are simply strange attempts to cash in on the holiday season ( cough StarWars cough ), others are brilliant, creative outpourings in the name of warmth, family, togetherness, and the hope that maybe, just maybe we can make the world a better place. We’d like to think this is the latter, but we’re willing to bet you’ll disagree. Whatever yo...

Nerdy Show Prime is our on-going series of stand-0ut, single-subject episodes existing beyond our regularly scheduled programming. We’re pleased to bring you the first in a multi-part Prime series on the topic of “fan films”. We've entered in a bold new era of fan films, one where creating a full-scale film in someone else’s universe is an accepted thing, what’s more we’re seeing more and more fan...

Part 2 of our Nerdy Show Prime 2-part feature on VOICE ACTING! When it comes to animation – voice actors define a character. Sure, there’s the writing and the animation, but it’s the voice that really sells the character. What would the animated characters be without their iconic voices bringing each of those characters to life? What’s the difference between a good anime dub and a bad one? It’s th...

When it comes to animation – voice actors define a character. Sure, there’s the writing and the animation, but it’s the voice that really sells the character. What would the Looney Tunes be without their iconic voices bringing each of those characters to life? What’s the difference between a good anime dub and a bad one? It’s the voices. As nerds we’ve created something of a fandom surrounding voi...

Nothing could have prepared us for this… This is both the first episode of Nerdy Show Prime and an unparalleled document of the unusual. Nerdy Show Prime is a new brand of monthly episode dedicated to big topics that take an entire full-length show to discuss. However, we’d pushed aside our originally intended topic to tackle a more pressing matter… the disappearance of our good friend, Dean Walla...

The video game industry has hit an age that every mass medium hits – where restoring and revitalizing old titles is imperative. These days even more movies are getting regurgitated as needless remakes or unnecessary sequels – can the gaming industry do any better? Are there games out there that actually need to be remade or are begging to be updated with HD graphics? This Nerdy Show Microsode is a...

Coming to you directly from I-95… it’s Nerdy Show Comic Show! The Nerdy Show crew traveled from Orlando to Charlotte North Carolina for our favorite comic convention of the year: HeroesCon. We hung out with some cool folks, met some fine people, moderated some cool panels, and now we’re driving home in the middle of the night. In this episode not only do Cap, Tony, and Trench discuss the HeroesCon...

Movie sequels are a tricky business. Crappy movies get sequels all the time and on occasion perfectly good standalone movies are forced into the sequel game with mixed results or even the dreaded… direct to video sequel. Meanwhile, plenty of perfectly good film franchises are lying in wait as other movies are given the full-service sequel treatment. So what films actually need sequels? Nerdy Show...

It’s the final day of E3 2014 and there’s no shortage of new game experiences for us to cram in before the show closes for another year. We got a closed-door look at Rocksteady’s return to the Batman/ Arkham franchise: Batman: Arkham Knight (as well as a look at some kinda freaky Green Lantern redesign), saw the ultra gory and super-awesome Fatalities and features of Mortal Kombat X, peeped a Zeld...

This E3 day offered not just thrills, but actual terror. The last thing we want is to be seduced by another Alien game but dammit… Alien: Isolation is in a league of its own and truly embodies the notion of “survival horror”. But it’s not the only game we saw flirting with danger and desperation – the creator of Resident Evil has returned to set a new bar for the horror puzzler, and the new zombie...

E3 has truly begun! The convention doors have been thrown open wide and we’ve raided the halls of valuable information and hands-on experiences. We tried out Fable: Legends, Shape Up, Fantasia: Music Evolved, Disney Infinity Marvel Super Heroes, Apotheon, Broforce, and EarthNight. And we saw live demos of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Civilization: Beyond Earth, and TellTale’s Tales From T...

Last year’s E3 was all about the new hardware. This year it’s all about the new hardware proving itself with games, games, games! This episode of Nerdy Show chronicles Day Zero of E3: Four colossal press conferences where the stage is set for the next-gen goodies awaiting us when the show floor opens. Microsoft, Sony, EA, and Ubisoft vied for the favor of gamers everywhere and for those of us stil...

Adventures in video gaming awaits! Next week, Nerdy Show will be in Los Angeles to cover E3 – the biggest video game event of the year. But before we do that and unleash daily podcasts and videos chronicling our hands-on experiences with all new games, we thought it would be apropos to get the conversation started. And what better place to start than the rumor mill? Join Nerdy Show hosts Cap, Bran...

It’s a month of uncanny anniversaries. Last week we celebrated 60 years of Godzilla, and this week it’s 30 years of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In this episode we talk with Steve Murphy – the most prolific Ninja Turtles author of all-time; having written more Turtles stories in more mediums than even the TMNT’s creators. As his pen name, Dean Clarrain, Murphy wrote Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles A...

Like a rock ‘n’ roll granddad, Godzilla is over the hill but ain’t gonna hesitate to crack jaws in a cultural relevance bar brawl. The King of All Monsters is still a pop culture behemoth even at the big 6-0, and in this episode we celebrate his nuclear legacy. Nerdy Show hosts Cap, Kay, Hex, and Tony are joined by community member and kaiju expert, BigBadShadowMan to discuss Godzilla’s history, v...

State of the Empire is Nerdy Show’s Star Wars speculation podcast where we “look for news in Alderaan places”. It’s a time of celebration throughout the galaxy. May the Fourth has brought jubilation to countless systems and the cast of Episode VII has finally been announced! But – there are still many secrets surrounding the burgeoning new film. Rumors of a mysterious cast member still to come, an...
