Back in 2022, 2Nerds and an Actor released the inaugural episode of And Guest, and we're ready to keep the good vibes going! If you didn't tune in the first time, now is your chance to catch up on our chat with the Tony Award-winning Playwright, Executive Producer, Writer, and dear friend of ours, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins. We get into his inspiring work with HBO's Watchmen as well as his adaptation of Octavia Butler's Kindred (formerly on FX.) We even get into Branden's guilty pleasure show Alone on the History Channel. Get into it!!

And Guest hosts Frantz and Aisha welcome the multi-faceted entrepreneur Love Jones to the mic. Love has been in the entertainment business for over 15 years, starting a casting agency at the age of 17! We chat about her love of Black nerdom and feeling seen now that Blerds are coming together stronger than ever. She recalls her late mother and the inspiration to live a full life, which means wanting something and going for it. We explore the mission of Martian Blueberry and the importance of developing and owning your intellectual property (IP.) This episode will reignite that fire to reach for your dreams or at least saw something in half in Gears of War. Get into it!

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.

Things are still very hell in a handbasket in the world, but hey, in a world where Chris Pratt is the voice of both Garfield and Mario - anything is possible. In this episode, we lament the choices that led to AstroWorld and the Alec Baldwin shooting. We also review (and later spoil) Marvel's Eternals and FX's Y The Last Man.

Keep it locked and listen in for more Bronx-based rascality on Season 5 episode 11 of 2Nerds and an Actor.

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.
