The Nerfherder Council: a Star Wars Show

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! #starwars #badbatch #season3 --------- The Nerfherder Council...

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". --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerfherder-council...

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! --------- The Nerfherder Counci...

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! --------- The Nerfherder Council on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nhcpod...

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 (gory) names, then you just aren't doing...

Let's face it... The Holiday Special is the most craptastic piece of Star Wars content that has EVER been released. Finally... someone has explained how it all came together! On this episode, we review the new documentary "A Disturbance In The Force"! --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerfherder-council/id1076137721?mt=2 The Nerfherder Co...

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

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! --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerfherder-council/id1076137721?mt=2 The Nerfherde...

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! --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerfherder-council/id1076137721?mt=2 The Nerfherder Council on Spotify Podcasts:...

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. --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerfherder-council/id1076137721?mt=2 The Nerfherder Co...

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 draft? On this episode... we do exactly that, along with our guest cohosts Spencer Jawitz and Jon Chiado from the Virtual Cantina Network! --------- The Nerfherder C...

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!

Anakin's apprentice gets her own show on Disney+ next week!

"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. #indy5 #dialofdestiny --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerfherder-council/id1076137721?mt=2 The Nerfherder Council on Spotify Podcasts: https://open.spot...

"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. --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerfherder-council/id1076137721?mt=2 The Nerfherder Council on Spotify Podcasts: https:...

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

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 Blue Harvest! --------- The Nerfh...

Clone Wars, Bad Batch, Rebels, Resistance, Tales of the Jedi, The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, Skeleton Crew... Dave Filoni has been involved in nearly everything Star Wars for the last two decades. Is it a good thing to have everything connect and push the same characters/stories, or is it too much for casual fans to take in? We look at the so-called "Filoniverse" and its good and bad points. --------- T...

The Mandalorian has wrapped its third season, and we take an episode-by-episode look at the highs and lows of the latest 8 chapters of Din Djarin's journey - and question whether it's still his journey or not! --------- The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerfherder-council/id1076137721?mt=2 The Nerfherder Council on Spotify Podcasts: https://open.spot...

"The Mandalorian" is back! We dive into the season premiere and discuss all the new developments, our predictions for the story moving forward, and try not to sound too stupid in the process.

Let's face it... the fourth installment in the Indiana Jones franchise is pretty much maligned by almost all fans of the series. Let's also face it... most of those people are WRONG! On this episode, JT and special guest host Sean Faust explain why this movie is criminally underrated and deserves a lot more respect than it gets! #indianajones #crystalskull #moviereview --------- The Nerfherder Cou...
