We’re stepping out of the studio and into the heart of the local art scene as we prepare for our third year at the Santa Fe Springs Artfest!

The power of Grayskull is back, and we’re heading to the Mushroom Kingdom! This week on Keeping Up With The Nerds, we’re balancing high-fantasy nostalgia with the biggest gaming movie of the decade.
First up, we’re breaking down the brand-new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe trailer. We’ve seen a few iterations lately, but does this new look capture the magic of the original 80s classic? We discuss the character designs and our thoughts on other retro icons getting the modern treatment.
Then, it’s the big one. We finally sat down to watch the Super Mario Bros. Movie, and we have thoughts. From the star-studded voice cast to the endless Nintendo Easter eggs, we’re giving our full, spoiler-filled review. Did it live up to the hype, or was it "Game Over" for the Nerds?
In this Issue:
⚔️ Masters of the Universe: Our deep-dive reaction to the new He-Man trailer.
🐎 Retro Rewind: A look back at some classic cartoons we all grew up with.
🍄 Mario Movie Review: The highs, the lows, and the future of the Nintendo Cinematic Universe.

This has been an absolute banner week for nerd culture. We've got a lot to unpack, from the streets of Hell's Kitchen to the halls of Hogwarts, and finally, into the depths of deep space.

In Issue #291 of Keeping Up With The Nerds, we are diving deep into the massive returns of some of our favorite franchises. Whether you're a Marvel devotee, a Wizarding World fan, or a hard sci-fi nerd, we’ve got you covered.

In this episode: Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Premiere: Matt Murdock is back, and the stakes in Fisk’s New York have never been higher. We break down that brutal opening on the Northern Star, the shock unmasking, and that unexpected save from Bullseye. Is an uneasy alliance actually happening?

Harry Potter HBO Series Trailer: The first look at the reboot is finally here! We discuss the new cast (Nick Frost as Hagrid is a mood!), the 2026 release date, and whether this "faithful adaptation" can capture the magic of the original books all over again. Project Hail Mary in 70mm: We just walked out of the theater and... wow. We discuss why seeing Ryan Gosling and Rocky on a massive 70mm screen is the only way to experience this movie. From the incredible sound design to the emotional weight of that friendship, we’re giving you our spoiler-free (mostly!) review.

Are you locked in for Daredevil season 2? And what do you think of the new Harry Potter casting? Let us know in the comments! 👇

The Spider-Verse is expanding, Serenity is fueling up, and the Oscars just gave us a night to remember! 🕷️🚀🏆

In Issue #290 of Keeping Up With The Nerds, we’re breaking down the absolute chaos of the past week. From the record-shattering Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer to a shock announcement from Nathan Fillion that has every Browncoat screaming, we’ve got a lot to get through. Plus, we recap the biggest wins (and snubs) from the 2026 Oscars.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer Breakdown: Is that organic webbing?! We discuss Tom Holland’s dark new chapter, Jon Bernthal’s MCU debut as The Punisher, and those wild Sadie Sink / Jean Grey rumors.

Firefly is BACK (Sort of): Nathan Fillion just confirmed a brand new Firefly animated series is in development with the original cast. We talk about what this means for the "Wash is alive" timeline and why Joss Whedon isn't involved.

2026 Oscars Recap: Michael B. Jordan’s big win for Sinners, Paul Thomas Anderson finally taking home Best Director, and why K-Pop Demon Hunter rightfully won its Oscar categories.

Buckle up, Nerds! 🎙️ In today’s Issue, we’re breaking down the latest in TV and streaming, from foul-mouthed bears to the high seas of the Grand Line. Here’s the breakdown of everything we covered:

Ted Season 2: Seth MacFarlane’s Magnum Opus? 🧸 – We dive deep into the new season of Ted and discuss why this might actually be Seth MacFarlane’s greatest work to date. From the sharp writing to the heart beneath the crude humor, we explain why this prequel series is hitting all the right notes.

One Piece Season 2 Success 👒 – The Straw Hats are back! We analyze how the second season continues to defy the "live-action anime curse." We talk about the brilliant translation of Oda’s world to the screen and why it’s setting a new gold standard for adaptations.

Malcolm in the Middle Returns? 📺 – We have a short but sweet conversation about the rumblings of a Malcolm in the Middle revival. Is the world ready to see where the family is now, or should some classics stay in the past?

Lanterns: A Divided Fandom 🟢 – The new DCU series Lanterns trailer has officially arrived, and it is sparking intense debate. We break down the polarizing elements of the show and why fans are so split on this gritty take on the Green Lantern show.

Buckle up, Straw Hats 👒 and S.T.A.R.S. members! 👮‍♂️ In today’s episode, we are diving 651 meters deep 🌊 into the Pacific Ocean. We’re breaking down the absolute madness 🤯 that is Eiichiro Oda’s "600 Million Milestone" stunt. 💎 Did the creator of One Piece really just drop the secret to the series’ ending 📜 into the ocean floor? ⚓️
We discuss the viral video that has the internet acting like real-life treasure hunters 🗺️ and how Reddit detectives 🕵️‍♂️ managed to pinpoint the coordinates 📍 (Suruga Bay, we see you! 👀) using nothing but cloud patterns ☁️ and Japanese Coast Guard colors. 🚢
Then, we’re switching gears from the Grand Line to the nightmare-inducing halls 🏚️ of the Wrenwood Hotel. 🏨 We have officially finished Resident Evil 9: Requiem, and we have thoughts. 💭 From the intense duality of Leon’s action-packed roundhouse kicks 🥋 to the nerve-wracking stealth segments 👣 with newcomer Grace Ashcroft, we’re reviewing the story, the "Singing Zombie," 🎤🧟‍♀️ and that retcon-heavy ending. 💥 Is this the best Resident Evil since RE4, or does the dual-campaign style leave us wanting more? 🎮

Listen now and let us know: Would you hire a submarine to find Oda's treasure 🛥️, or are you too busy surviving the Raccoon City Syndrome? 💉🧤

We’re packing a lot into today’s episode! Here’s the breakdown of everything we covered:
Resident Evil 9: Requiem 🎮 – Capcom’s latest is finally here! We discuss why it feels so fresh compared to the previous entries (shoutout to that Grace/Leon dual gameplay!) and how it’s absolutely crushing it in the charts right now. 📈🔥
Paramount & Warner Bros. Merger 🤝 – The "big house" buyout is the talk of Hollywood. We talk about the potential for censorship and why we’re bracing for our favorite content to start disappearing from streaming platforms. 🚫🎬
Scream 7 Reaction 👻 – We didn’t hold back on this one. It felt a bit "mid" to us, and we dive into why it might actually deserve those low Rotten Tomatoes scores. Is the franchise finally losing its edge? 🍅📉
What’s your take? Is RE9 your new favorite, or are you still reeling from that Scream 7 score? Let us know in the comments! 👇
