It's been a long time we shouldna left you without a dope beat to step to... Yes, the nerds and actors are back with the next wave of podcast plundering. We took some time to figure out our stuff annnnnd still haven't figured it out, but why not keep chatting about the stuff we love? In this episode, we sit down with the content creator and Disney Blerd herself, Tiffie Starchild. Not only does she make hilarious pieces of entertainment, but she is also an absolute delight to chat with, so don't miss as we get into the many sides of Tiffie and get spirited about X-Men '97 and all the ways Magneto was right but more importantly the ways Charles was wrong.

What's goodie!?!? This go-round we review Warner Brother's new Dune movie starring Willy Wonka and MJ alongside a recap of Marvel's fun cinematic universe loophole-a-thon, What If...?

We also recap things that happened in and around New York Comic-Con and wonder aloud if it was even a good idea to have in the midst of a pancetta/panorama/pan pizza/parallelogram. Does Dune blow the original out of the water? Will What If...? have deeper MCU ramifications? This and more Bronx-based skylarking on season 5, episode 10 of 2Nerds and an Actor.
