We made it to 50 episodes! To celebrate, we discuss all things "50" from historical anniversaries to celebrity birthdays, to random facts about the 50 states.

Before we jump into that, we have some Nerdy News where George Lucas talks about what took him out of Star Wars, how gourds were almost extinct, and NASA pairing up with Space X...officially.

Then we have Jarman with his first 5-Minute Aficionado! He discusses the ins and outs of properly wearing a suit.

In Trailer Reviews we have the internet offending Gods of Egypt, as well as the hopefully hilarious sequel, Zoolander 2.

With CBS's recent announcement of a new Star Trek TV series officially on the horizon, we figure it's the perfect time to wildly speculate as to what it will be about! When will it be set? Who will be cast? What universe will it be in?! We try to guess at the answer to these questions and more. For much needed help in this giant discussion we are joined buy Chris Mitchell from the Ten Forward Podcast, and Ryan Porter from Positively Nerdy! They add their essential Star Trek knowledge and expertise. You can find our guests on Twitter: Chris @ChrisCantFly and Ryan @PositivelyNerdy

Before we delve into the main discussion, Steve contribute some bizarre Nerdy News about helmets and auto-erotic-asphyxiation, and Jarman gives an update on that possible alien Dyson sphere far far away.

In Trailer Reviews, we discuss the much anticipated Warcraft film, and the controversial upcoming Tarantino flick, The Hateful Eight.

In this special early release of A Play On Nerds we discuss all of our favorite villains of movies, TV, comics and video games, in honor of Halloween weekend!

Before the feature we discuss some Nerdy News with a tale of a possible real life zombie attack on an airliner and also some Star Wars: The Force Awakens fan theories.

Steve tests Jarman's knowledge of villains with Sidekick Showdown where he names the villain's sidekick/minion and we have to guess what villain they roll with.

Jarman also plays Villainous Voices, where he plays the sound clip of the villain and you have to guess what villain made those villainous utterances. There are some real softballs in there...

At the end, we have some great trailers to review, with the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer, and the upcoming Seth Rogan/Joseph Gordon-Levitt/Anthony Mackie vehicle, The Night Before.

Our guest Paul Wright, all the way from Liverpool, England is an expert fan of all things related to Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He helps us discuss the whole franchise in the feature segment; from the awesome radio series it started off as, to the books, television shows and finally the feature film.

Before we jump in the odd end of the galaxy, we have some Nerdy News, where we discuss the recent revelation of flowing water on Mars, and the recent scientific testing that (once again) shows that autism is not caused by vaccinations. Sorry Donald Trump...

Steve also returns with the fan favorite, 5-Minute Aficionado! Before he taught you how to be an expert with wine and cigars, now he teaches you the ins and outs of getting a professional massage :)

In Trailer Reviews we discuss the return of Goosebumps with Jack Black and the YA novel film adaptation of The Fifth Wave.

Jarman has returned from his trip with Twitch lead and Video Game Correspondent, Patrick, to Atlanta, GA for the largest geeky convention on the east coast of the U.S. - DragonCon! He covers a little bit of what he experienced there, but please subscribe to our YouTube channel (YouTube.com/APlayOnNerds) to see all the video and interviews we took posted there very soon.

We also cover the passing of horror director and writer, Wes Craven. His unique contribution to film will certainly be missed.

On a less sad note, Steve also introduces us to the new line of Apple products that were recently announced. Gotta get 'em all!

In Trailer Reviews, we cover the stellar looking The Witch and The Final Girls.

For today's feature we delve into Geek Out magazine's Top 30 Most Epic Fandoms of All Time! From Pokemon, to Doctor Who, to Star Trek, to all things Tim Burton. We discuss the merits of each and try to decide what's missing from the list, and what simply doesn't belong.

We also cover some Nerdy News involving strangely evolved animals and recent skunk ape sightings in Florida.

Then in Trailer Reviews we cover Vin Diesel in The Last Witch Hunter and Norman Reedus in Air.

Join us this wee as we see the triumphant return or our re-occurring segment, Copy Cat Cinema! This time with EdTV VS The Truman Show! It's where we take 2 movies made around the same time, with all-too-similar plots. Some of our previous entries have been Gremlins VS Critters, or Armaggeddon VS Deep Impact, Volcano VS Dante's Peak... you get the idea. Then we both pick a movie and defend it as the better of the two films, whether we believe it or not!

We start off the show with some Nerdy News; Japan developing Star Trek-like holodeck technology, and the continued evolution of polar bears!

We then have a brief chat about the history of reality TV, and some of the producer secrets from behind the scenes.

Then after the feature segment, Steve breaks out the funny with his Random Reality TV Show Title Generator. The results are ridiculous in their realistic-ness!

For Trailer Reviews, we cover Nerdist Presents The Hive, and Vacation (2015)
