Eat Sleep Nerd

Star Wars is heading back to the Skywalker saga — and we have some STRONG feelings about it.

In this episode of Eat Sleep Nerd’s Nerdy News, we get into the reports surrounding a new Star Wars movie trilogy, with Jon Watts attached as a director and the story reportedly returning to the Skywalker side of the galaxy. After decades of Luke, Leia, Anakin, Rey and the rest of the family tree… is it finally time for Star Wars to move on?

We also break down some of the other biggest nerdy entertainment stories, including the Paramount and Warner Bros. merger, the latest on HBO’s Lanterns and James Gunn's DCU, Alan Ritchson being attached to star in the Helldivers movie, and more.

If Star Wars really is heading back to the Skywalkers, are you excited — or are you ready for the franchise to finally explore something completely new?

Let us know in the comments.

We put 50 of the greatest superheroes ever created into one brutal elimination game—and forced ourselves to DELETE 18 of them from history forever.

Could you erase Spider-Man, Wolverine, Batman, Superman, Iron Man, Wonder Woman or another iconic hero from every comic, movie, television show, video game and piece of pop culture they ever influenced?

In “Delete From History,” the Eat Sleep Nerd crew must debate the value and real-world impact of Marvel, DC and independent comic-book heroes before permanently removing them from the timeline.

But every deletion creates a butterfly effect. Erasing one superhero could also destroy their villains, supporting characters, superhero teams, blockbuster movies, animated series, video games and decades of comic-book history.

The game includes:

Secret Protection selections
12 opening-round deletions
Four Timeline Aftershock matchups
The final Nuclear Tribunal
Plenty of arguments, betrayals and impossible decisions

Chapters
00:00:00 Introduction
00:02:15 Gameplay Rules
00:04:50 Round 1: 12 deletions
00:28:00 Round 2: Head-to-Heads
00:43:20 Round 3: Final 8
00:56:25 Final Timeline Repairs


Watch until the end to discover which heroes survived—and which legendary characters were completely erased from history.


Who would YOU protect? Which superhero could disappear without ruining comic-book history? Let us know in the comments!

What are the greatest science fiction spaceships of all time? 🚀

In this episode of Eat Sleep Nerd, we're putting 26 of the most iconic spaceships in sci-fi history into a TierMaker tier list and attempting the impossible: ranking them from best to worst!

We're pulling ships from across movies, television, video games, and animation—including Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Firefly, The Expanse, Halo, Battlestar Galactica, Futurama, Rick and Morty, Cowboy Bebop, Star Fox, Spaceballs, and more.

Does the Millennium Falcon deserve to sit at the top? Can the USS Enterprise claim the title of greatest starship ever created? Where in the world do you rank something as ridiculous and iconic as the TARDIS? And which legendary sci-fi ships are getting banished to the bottom of the tier list?

🌌 Some of the ships we're ranking include:

• Millennium Falcon
• X-Wing
• TIE Fighter
• Slave I
• Razor Crest
• Death Star
• Imperial Star Destroyer
• Original USS Enterprise
• USS Enterprise-D
• TARDIS
• Serenity
• Battlestar Galactica
• Rocinante
• UNSC Pillar of Autumn
• Planet Express Ship
• Rick's Space Cruiser
• Arwing
• Eagle 5
• Bebop
• And plenty more!

We're judging each ship on everything from design and capabilities to cultural impact, cool factor, and how badly we'd actually want to fly one. Naturally, this leads to disagreements, questionable rankings, and some beloved sci-fi ships getting absolutely disrespected.

💬 Now it's your turn!

What is the greatest sci-fi spaceship of all time? Which of our rankings did we get completely wrong? And what ship should have made our list of 26?

Is nerd culture in trouble? Because lately…it sure feels like it.

In this episode of Eat Sleep Nerd, we’re talking about the NERD-OCALYPSE — that strange feeling that seemingly everything we love about being a nerd is going through a rough patch at the exact same time.

Physical video games are disappearing. PlayStation fans are worried about the future of physical media. The MCU doesn’t seem to have the same excitement it once did. DC Studios and the DCU are facing plenty of questions after Supergirl. Doctor Who has an uncertain future. Star Trek has no projects on the horizon. Star Wars continues to divide its fanbase. And if you’d rather escape into PC gaming, building computers, or other tech hobbies…skyrocketing component prices aren’t exactly helping.

So…is it actually harder to be a nerd in 2026?

We break down the current state of movies, television, gaming, physical media, PC hardware, and some of the biggest franchises in geek culture to figure out whether we’re genuinely living through a nerd apocalypse — or if this is just another rough era before things inevitably get better.

From Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, PlayStation, gaming, physical media, PC gaming, and more, there’s a LOT to unpack.

🎮 Are you still excited about gaming?
🎬 Which movie franchise needs the biggest comeback?
🚀 What happened to the golden age of nerd television?
💿 Are you worried about the death of physical media?
🔥 And most importantly…what part of nerd culture are YOU most worried about right now?
