Brand spanking new episode of MEAN NERDO! Today, we're gonna be jumping into the universe of Japanese Anime discussing a rare cartoon series titled Ranma 1/2!

My introduction to the cartoon world of Ranma 1/2 was through Reza. I remember Reza being a big Ranma 1/2 fan, she always had some DVD's, VHS tapes or comic books lying about in her room. Fast forward to now - this recording was really special to make and a great way for us to catch up after all this time!

"What chance has a poor little fluffy winged creature like me against a well-equipped hunter like you?!" We're Back! Mean Nerdo interviews the Grand Maestro, Award-Winning Theater Director, motivational speaker, wrestling coach, community activist, and Producing Artistic Director of Teatro Mascara Magica - my former theatre teacher - Mr. William Virchis! We shared some good laughs and reminisced about stories from his childhood and upbringing, all while covering the Looney Tunes cartoon episode of "To Duck or Not to Duck" featuring Daffy Duck & Elmer Fudd! It was an honor to talk shop with one of my all time heroes - Mr. Virchis! Enjoy Episode 8!

Cobra!!! This is a first that we get to do: An in-person episode of Mean Nerdo is finally here! It was a day of carne asada tacos, beer, mezcal, jamming on music with good friends and watching old school cartoons! On this 7th episode of Mean Nerdo I have my childhood friends, Mario & Jorge Enciso as special guests, talking about one of the silliest installments of the G.I. Joe - A Real American Hero cartoon series. Dropping by last but not least was our buddy Oscar Gonzalez to add more hilarious anecdotes to our vivid memories of watching this epic cartoon show. Yo Joe!

Catching this mouse ain't gonna be easy! We got a new podcast episode and I'm here to share this lovely conversation that we originally recorded back on August 20, 2020 with my good friend Adrienne "BB" Cota @oneloveyoga2020. The hilarious duo of Tom and Jerry is the cartoon we showcase in this 6th episode of Mean Nerdo and it is titled "Sleepy Time Tom" originally released in 1951.

What's Up Doc!? This one goes deep down the rabbit hole! This podcast episode was originally recorded back in August 14, 2020 and we finally get a chance to catch up with episode 5!
