The Nerfherder Council: a Star Wars Show

Another Star Wars Celebration is in the books! This one was packed with news and announcements as usual, but there's still a vocal minority of the fandom who just wasn't satisfied (as always). We look at what was announced, what the gripes were, and whether there's any merit to the complaints. --------- SUPPORT US Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/c/NHCPodcast Merch:  http://shop.nhcpodcast.com LI...

Even before Marvel's insanely popular and high-quality Infinity Saga was released, 2003's Daredevil was widely panned by almost anyone who watched it. But... was it THAT bad? We're here to tell you that maybe... just maybe... it's not as terrible as you may remember! (Well, at least JT is...) --------- SUPPORT US - Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/NHCPodcast - Merch: http://shop.nhcpodcast.com L...

We're back with another ranking show - this time we're digging into the Disney+ catalog to see which of the recent shows hits the mark - or misses worse than a Stormtrooper! --------- SUPPORT US - Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/NHCPodcast - Merch: http://shop.nhcpodcast.com LISTEN - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerfherder-council/id1076137721?mt=2 - YouTube: https:...

On your left! "Captain America: Brave New World" is almost here. With Sam Wilson taking up the mantle, we're prepping by looking back at the Steve Rogers era of films! Which one comes out on top?? We could do this all day - but we'll keep it around an hour-plus. --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerfherder-council/id1076137721?mt=2 The Ne...

We're back with our first show of 2025 and Star Wars' "Skeleton Crew" has finished its first season! The show is definitely a departure from most of the other new content we've gotten in recent years - but is that a good thing or a bad thing?? --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/...

The NHC is back with our annual holiday episode! This yuletide season, we tackled the age-old debate... which popular Christmas movies are overrated, and which ones are underrated? This year, we've left a gift under the fans' trees and opened up the show to let THEM on camera to give us THEIR opinions! Happy holidays, everyone! --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.a...

The latest Star Wars series, "Skeleton Crew", has finally arrived on Disney+! Is it Goonies in space? Is it mostly for kids? Will it go the way of "The Acolyte" or the way of "Andor"? Most importantly, how cool is it to get a little kid version of Max Rebo? (Just kidding: they're not the same species.) We discuss! --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/po...

We haven't had a new theatrical Star Wars release since The Rise Of Skywalker... several projects have been canceled... the live-action television series have been hit-or-miss with fans... are we in a new era of The Dark Times - or is there a new hope on the horizon? (See what we did there??) --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/... The Nerfherder Counc...

We're heading down to the Clown Cafe and getting good and gory with Art the Clown as we give our review of Terrifier 3!

It's scary season again on the NHC! Since we made ourselves suffer through the awful remake last year, we decided to give ourselves a treat instead of a trick and watch the original "A Nightmare On Elm Street"! --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/...

We're back with our second installment of the Harry Potter series as we dive into Chamber of Secrets! Many fans consider this the weakest entry in the series... but does it deserve that title? Is this an overlooked classic - or is it a poor follow-up to a fantastic debut? --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/...

We're taking a night off from our usual content to discuss and remember the historic and world-changing events of September 11th, 2001. --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/...

We've got a new Alien movie in theaters, and as usual... the NHC has opinions! We are both big fans of the Alien franchise, so how does this newest chapter stand up against the other entries in this classic sci-fi horror series? Is it as badass as Ellen Ripley or should it be sucked out of the airlock and doomed to the vacuum of space? We discuss while AJ builds a Lego-style xenomorph! (Sorry, aud...

Loads of news and reveals came out of Comic Con and the D23 Expo! We've got news on Star Wars and Marvel projects galore: Mandalorian & Grogu, Skeleton Crew, Andor Season 2, Avengers, Daredevil, and more!

We've finally gotten the new Deadpool film "Deadpool & Wolverine" and we can't WAIT to talk about it - as well as its two fantastic predecessors! We're putting the c*caine back under the floorboards next to the cure for blindness and sitting down to talk all things Wade Wilson. Maximum effort!! --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerfhe...

We've finally gotten the entire season of The Acolyte... and we definitely have some thoughts on what we've seen and what it could mean for the future of Star Wars! We've enlisted our great friend Cris Macht from the Machtails From The Cantina podcast to help class up the show a little bit - and to give HIS opinions on one of the most hotly debated Star Wars shows to date! --------- The Nerfherder...

Strap in for a spicy episode as we review and recap the first four episodes of "The Acolyte" on Disney+! It's a bold new era for Star Wars storytelling, and it's been met with mixed reviews and a LOT of "fan" backlash. We share our thoughts on the show and all the haters who have NO place in this fandom or any other. #starwars #acolyte #prideally --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts:...

It's an NHC first as we take our first steps into the Potterverse to discuss The Sorcerer's Stone (or The Philosopher's Stone, depending on which side of the pond you're on) - both the movie and the novel! Grab your wands, head to Diagon Alley and put on your robes as we discuss the story that started one of the most massive franchises in pop culture history! --------- The Nerfherder Council on Ap...

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?? --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/... The Nerfherder Council on Google Podcasts: https://podcasts...

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! --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/... The Nerfherder Council on Google Podcasts: https://p...

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! --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/...

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!

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? --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/...

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 movie came to Star Wars greatness! --------- T...
