Grating The Nerd

Welcome to the Marvel movie review for the penultimate edition in a series of films, Infinity War.  And subsequently the penultimate episode for Season 1 of Grating the Nerd. This week Tim brings out the big guns and challenges Zach to find something he distastes about the worldwide hero sensation, Marvel's Infinity War. Tim loves this film, but will Zach find something he hates in it? (spoilers: yes...yes he will)

This week's episode is a long one but we covered a long film. 

After 3 hours of recording we ended up with 2 hours of audio for you to digest. We hope you enjoy!

Forbidden magicy stuff in the guise of "science". Death. Dismemberment. More Death. A quest to right a wrong. Even More Death! These are the ingredients for transmuting the perfect animated series! This week Zach and Tim trade places to watch something Tim doesn't like this time--Anime. Tune in for a harsh critique of the smash hit anime series, The Fullmetal Alchemist (2003)!

Love, loss, crying, screaming.. more crying? "Does anyone understand me?" Well no, not when you whine like that... 

This weeks show is full of more emo than when Emo McEmo moved to Emotown. So wipe off the runny makeup, flip your hair to the side and tune in for Zach's disdainful views of the band AFI, right here on GTN.

This week on GTN, join us as we dig into the first of hopefully many horror films. Zach and Tim pick apart the instant classic, The Cabin in the Woods. And talk about what truly makes things scary for them. Is it blood, guts and killers or monsters, ghosts and the occult? Find out! 

Side Show note: There was so minor audio issue with some of the mics that was not discovered until post production began and as we're up against a week to week recording schedule at this point, additional time to re-record was scant at best. Hang in there though, we'll get this sorted out.

This week on Grating the Nerd, we're diving into the first of many episodes with this type of theme. This is Episode 1 of "Debris or Not Debris". Follow along as we discuss the intense character study and possible subplots to the long-winded movie title, "The Man Who Killed Hitler and then The Bigfoot". We have a lot of thoughts on this bizarre film and what in the world we think was going on...

What happens when you take every big name Marvel and DC hero, pit them in battles against each other in battle, and all for the sake of their respective universes remaining intact?

Well fear not friends, because Zach did the dirty work for you...and boy was it a stinker... Tune in for this weeks part 1 (of 2) episode discussing the 1996 issues of Marvel vs DC...(err...DC vs Marvel...depending on the issues), intro to the Amalgam comics.
