Have you ever been so passionate about a TV show that you just had to make your friend watch it? That’s exactly what happened this week on the Nerd Byword! In episode 192, Dave and Kris dive into each other’s favorite TV shows, and the results are nothing short of entertaining.

First up, Dave introduces Kris to the world of Doctor Who, specifically the era of Matt Smith as the Doctor. Dave chose the episode “The Eleventh Hour” as Kris’s introduction to Matt Smith’s Doctor. This episode is significant because it marks the beginning of Smith’s tenure and is often considered a great entry point for newcomers.

On the flip side, Kris introduced Dave to the hilariously bizarre world of What We Do in the Shadows. This mockumentary-style show follows a group of vampires living in Staten Island. Kris chose an episode featuring the Baron, a terrifying yet comically awkward vampire overlord.

So, if you’re looking for TV show recommendations or just want to hear two friends geek out over their favorite series, this episode of Nerd Byword is a must-listen.!
