Hard NOC Life is switching up the schedule! On the first Monday episode of the pod, Keith and Dominic do their best to keep up with all the news in nerd pop.

To start off, they continue the discussion of the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover on The CW, including the casting of Osric Chau as Ryan Choi. After that, they return to the world of Spider-Man and break down the latest developments in the Marvel Studios-Sony Pictures dance (just in time for the Far From Home blu-ray release, natch). Making up with Sony isn't the only thing on Kevin Feige's plate as it was also announced that he will be collaborating with Lucasfilm on a potential Star Wars movie. Speaking of Star Wars, Keith and Dominic break down the Force Friday assortment of toys and merch from The Rise of Skywalker and question the severe lack of Rose Tico in the marketing.

What’s #NerdPoppin this week (46:10): Dominic's friends in the Killing My Lobster comedy improv troupe have a series of shows in the Bay Area throughout the month, and Keith is very excited to watch the final season of The Good Place with his daughter.
