Nerdy Show

Here it comes! You've heard us talk about kaiju and daikaiju of all sizes, but we've never devoted an entire discussion to Japan's giant silver defender, Ultraman... until now. In this listener-requested Microsode, the Ultraman-uninitiated (Cap and Brandon), discover the series via the tender, loving hands of tokusatsu enthusiasts Arkais and Ghostbusters: Resurrection's Mike Wall. We can only scra...

Do you love that not-so-fresh feeling? Do you delight in the mouth stank that comes with sleeping in the wilderness and necking with bokoblins on lonely nights? You crave the Breath of the Wild! Join Cap, boR, Brandon, and Jon as we examine this vastly different installment in the Zelda series: gameplay, storyline, and yes... flavor. We also discuss our quest to procure Nintendo Switches, and our...

Chances are good that at some point you've seen a video created by Fatal Farm. They're a duo of FX wizards who specialize in subversion and surrealism, and whose work is as hilarious as it is head-scratching. They've done sketches for Key & Peele, had a hand in two Adult Swim specials, are the brains behind the notorious penis-exploding scene in Our RoboCop Remake, and nearly 10 years ago, unl...

Prepare yourself for an ape apocalypse! If you're on the fence about Kong: Skull Island like we were, this spoiler-free review will see you right. It's a hard sell: a King Kong reboot set in the same universe as the 2014 Godzilla - hypothetically aiming for a crossover. We think we were right to be skeptical, but the results? Well, join Brandon and boR as they provide their reactions and takeaways...

Ever caught yourself soul searching? You might look inside yourself and ask, "who am I?" Examining your personality, perhaps your heritage, maybe even your genetic makeup. Then, you turn your gaze outward. How do you define yourself? Is it the way you cut your hair? The shirts you wear? Friend, if you're soul-searching you need a piece of clothing that's more than a lifestyle - it'll change you to...

In this impromptu Microsode, we veer sharply into the fast lane and have a rapid fire discussion about our favorite geeky cars - the automobiles in pop culture that we nerd out the hardest over. Yes, we finally let ultra car nut, Ghostbusters: Resurrection's Adam Briggs take the wheel, and along for the ride is fellow Ghostbuster Mike Wall, Wicked Anime's Jonathan Fleming, and your resident Nerdy...

Valentine's Day may have come and gone, but its pungent perfume lingers thick in the air. Whether you've got the post-V-Day blues or or are a regular polyamorous Poe Dameron - Nerdy Show has got the comedown you need: the robust voice of Flame On's Jarrod Pope. Join Cap, boR, Brandon, and Jarrod's sumptuous pipes as they take a tumble with a plethora of pop culture. We give our first impressions o...

Hear our spoiler-free LEGO Batman Movie review! Will Arnett's brooding and hilariously self-absorbed Batman returns in a send-up to every incarnation of the caped crusader and his ginormous gallery of villains. It's a pleasant departure from the grimdark Batmen of recent films and, like The LEGO Movie before it, is a non-stop pop culture explosion for all ages. Join Cap and Doug for a frank discus...

Do you feel that burning deep inside? It's either your yearning for good times with Nerdy Show, or your playing a sinister game with Count Olaf. In this episode we're discovering a multitude of strange things; not just what a "Lemony Snicket" really is, but the tastes of mysterious foods, the flammability of certain birds... and a bunch of opinions on pop culture, of course! Join Cap, boR, Brandon...

In this listener-requested episode we don our sweat bands and feel the burn - 'cause we're talking physical wellness the Nerdy Show way. Join Cap, Trench, Friday Night Fanfiction's Stevo, and Lefty Lucy - Dungeons & Doritos cast member and renowned burlesque performer - as we discuss our personal trials and tribulations with staying fit, keeping sharp, and making good (snacking) decisions. Discove...

The time has come to unpack all the new info on the Nintendo Switch, the Big N's hybrid console/ portable system that's simultaneously turning heads and plaming faces. For all the cool, quirky games and features the system has to offer, a lot of baggage comes with this new venture. And while, yes, we're going to dig through this baggage like the TSA, the hosts of Nerdy Show are also cautious about...

In this listener-requested episode we discuss the prolific Japanese director, Takashi Miike. Known best perhaps as a master of combining horrific gore and comedy, Miike's career spans and fuses all genres - from children's films to period pieces - and takes viewers into exciting new places just as often as he takes them to uncomfortable territory. Perhaps you've caught his acclaimed (and often cen...

Enjoy the refreshing taste of Nerdy Show! We got some oddball gifts this holiday season, and some of them were edible, so of course we subject ourselves to these curious (and horrifying) delights for your listening pleasure. Inappropriately flavored sodas (none of the coconut) and strange candy await you, but that's far from all. The year-end gifts keep on coming, with holiday adventures, surreal...
