General Nerdery

As more of the world discovers the joy of Avatar: The Last Airbender via Netflix, Your Generals have decided to jump into talking why they like it as well. As neither one of us can master the four elements though, we thought it best to recruit some help in tackling this. Enter Griz. Together with General Zac, he came up with a finely curated list of episodes to focus in on as we talk about the Gaang. 'The Boy in the Iceberg', 'The Avatar Returns' , 'The Cave of Two Lovers', 'The Blind Bandit', 'The Headband', and 'Sokka's Master' all hold elements that make this beloved show what it is. So join in and hear how this show continues to amaze and amuse us. Also with news from Dynamite, Usagi Yojimbo, and more!

We don't claim to be the models of some novel-taking Generals, after all, Hamilton was already one of the biggest things to hit in the last few years even before it came to streaming. So despite all that's already been said about it we figured it was time to indulge in our love of musicals now that a new audience is coming around (including a General!), So this week we gush about Lin-Manuel Miranda, Zac learns the Ten Crack Commandments, and let out a bit of our history nerdishness all thanks to this amazing Broadway hit. Also with news from Batwoman, Star Trek, and more!

There are times when you come to love something, and then find out it's creator thinks you are less than human. That may been an extreme example, but it's also one that comes up far too often, So how should someone handle it when they like something by somebody problematic? Your Generals knew they didn't know. So this week Zac and Tyler both thank and welcome Will and Áine as they come on and help delve into this tricky topic. They turn out to be just the right guests to make the conversation fun as it twists and turns to include discussion on asexual representation, diversity in nerd media, and a running tally of the times Zac calls H.P. Lovecraft racist. Also with news about Dark Horse Comics and Ray Fisher on Justice League.

Mortal Kombat, the ultraviolent, tongue-in-cheek fighting game has been around almost 30 years, keeping our screens obscenely bloody. However, even a game where a guy with a gun can beat up an Elder God with his fists has a story. General Tyler happens to know that story, and now it's time to share it with all of you! Also with news from Warhammer 40k, Pirates of the Caribbean and more!

This week the Generals bring a more emotionally charged episode than normal. What was supposed to be a celebration of Midnighter to close out Pride month overlaps with some of the news and leaves General Zac with many feels. That being said. Midnighter is one of the more premier gay superheroes, and is far more to us than simply being angry gay-Batman. So we settle in and talk about this killing machine's emotional journey in Steve Orlando's run, and experience one of our own. Also with news form Guinness World Records, and Warren Ellis.

Superheroes come in all shapes, sizes, colors and creeds. As 2020 rages on, your Generals feel like this needs reestablished a bit at times. Luckily they watched a movie that reaffirms it many times over. Fast Color is the story of 3 generations of black women with super powers, and how they can change the world. Unfortunately it seems that word didn't get out too much about this beautiful film. So go watch it come back and then inside we give our most 2020 read of this movie as we can find words for and leave feeling encouraged. We hope this film can do the same for all of you as well.

Some revere him as one of the greatest directors of the modern era. Others...not so much. Today we have both sides of the impact of Quentin Tarantino's represented. With General Zac out getting married, friend of the show Eustacia comes back with a love of film and a dislike of Tarantino. General Tyler has a tattoo inspired by the poster for Django Unchained. They watched Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill vol. 1, and Django Unchained to prepare. Both come into this show with love in their hearts, but, like a Tarantino movie, will it end in a bloodbath?

Once upon a time, there was a cartoon that became one of the most massive things on Earth. That cartoon was The Simpsons. With that sort of popularity it was inevitable that they eventually got a movie, and inconceivable that your Generals could have grown up without feeling it's touch. However, upon debriefing our watching experience, it became clear that in this instance our experiences differ greatly. So what do your Generals think of The Simpsons, The Simpsons Movie, and the place of The Simpsons in pop culture history? Also with news from Doctor Who, Borderlands, and more!
