On Hard NOC Life, Dominic and Keith welcome Lauren Lola -- who took a moment out of her busy CAAMFest schedule -- to talk about Hamilton and Mandalorian season 2 coming to Disney+.

Over the last few weeks, Disney+ announcements have turned the nerd world upside down. In addition to all of the casting news surrounding season 2 of The Mandalorian -- namely, Rosario Dawson, Temuera Morrison, and Katie Sackhoff potentially bringing animated characters to live action -- the Mouse House also announced exclusive streaming rights to the filmed version of Broadway's Hamilton which was originally scheduled for a theatrical run in 2021. In rule of three fashion, YA fantasy author Rick Riordan also revealed he's working on a Percy Jackson series for the Plus, satiating a legion of Demigods who have been who have been clamoring for years! Finally, in a special streaming of edition of what's #NerdPoppin -- Lauren is excited for Avatar: the Last Airbender on Netflix; Dom is watching old Spider-Woman cartoons on Disney+; Keith is curious about the new Captain Pike-centered Star Trek series on CBS All Access, while also attending the virtual premiere of TNT's Snowpiercer.
