You want nerdy? LET'S GET NERDY.

As Nerdvember continues, we discuss a movie that made the majority of its money overseas, earned half a billion in box office, and still was too unprofitable to get a sequel: Warcraft.

Can Andrew correctly recall a single character name? Does Mike reveal how he spent his childhood by name-dropping Grand Admiral Thrawn? And are you ready for our nerdiest outro yet?
