Oh boy! This week the Nerds talk with famed comic book artist Jay Fotos (it's pronounced FODOS!), and he has a list of accomplishments as long as our nerd-sticks. From Spawn and TMNT to GODZILLA and Transformers, he’s done it all. Jay gives us rundown on his new Kickstarter for the graphic novel Rising Rebels, an 80s VHS-horror themed thrill ride about the ghoulishly resurrected Colonel Knox and his hunt for blood! In addition to all that, we learn about how Clint’s distain for Batman once scared Jay when they first met and also question whether or not tortuous fecal matter may be the mystery ingredient in the Kickstarter?? So many question, but we have the answer sheet, right here on Because Nerd!

Finally, we discuss what is the best pandemic movie, except that we get cut short and don’t really discuss that, so hold tight!!! This clearly is going to be a high speed episode of Because Nerd!!!

Because Nerd is doing it again! This week the Nerds put on their food critic hats and take a heaping helping of Green Arrow’s chili, a.k.a. THE HOTTEST CHILI IN THE DC UNIVERSE! We probe deep within Superman’s super gastrointestinal system to explore just how sensitive is his super sense of taste?! We then ask what's up with Joaquin Phoenix’s name being so damn hard to say and discuss why OJ Simpson couldn’t quite cut it as a Terminator. Finally Clint takes us on a fantastic thrill ride in the Haunted Tank, in another laugh out loud installment of Killing Batman! It’s time to do it nerdy-style with Because Nerd!

Because Nerd is back and better than ever! This week we start things off with our newest nerd, Brad, telling us about how Rambo, Last Blood has taken things to the next level! Then we ask the age old question, if Mike Tyson was going to beat you senseless, would you really care if he did it while wearing pink boxing gloves? After that, nerd-Mike reads to us from his journal about finally finishing watching Stranger Things 3. We then all have a good old Master Debate to decide, if you had to be bitten and turned into either a vampire or werewolf, which one would you rather it be? And finally Clint takes us all on a tour through a day in the life of one of the 80's most badass baddies, Skeletor! Put your pants on and then take them back off! Cause it's time for Because Nerd!

Prepare yourself for Because Nerd's 9th episode!!! This is by far the best one yet, and this episode is notably funny for how stupid it is! In this episode we explore what life was like at Hogwarts prior to their addition of a sewage system and why Professor Albus Dumbledore was so hesitant to install one! Then we take some time to appreciate the majestic post apocalyptic waste land that was Thundarr the Barbarian, and we question the interpersonal dynamics of Thundarr's, Ookla's, and Arial's relationship! Finally Logan joins us once again to discuss the Shitty X-men, Multiple Man and just how annoying being around him would be! Grab a cold on, light one up, and strap yourself in! Because it is time to get your nerd on!!!

Welcome to Because Nerd's 8th episode! This one is all about the Avengers and asking important questions like what if Dr. Strange was into glory-holes, is Hulk a nymphomaniac, and why won't Tony let anyone else use one of his Ironman suits? We ponder whether Nick Fury and Hawkeye are actually secret Scrulls in disguise, and we consider the possibility that Thanos is really just acting out over a childhood trauma of being nicknamed The Anus! The Nerds are all assembled (except Logon, who plays the part of Hawkeye and is absent for this episode)! You definitely do not want to miss this episode!!!
