On July 7 and 8th 2018 the Garden State Comic Fest was held at the Mennen Arena in Morristown, NJ. This convention was started over 3 years ago by two men who love comics, Dave O’Hare and Sal Zurzolo. As stated on the website, this convention had someone for everyone.

The first thing we took notice of as we pulled into the parking lot was that Kit and the A-Team van was there to great us. The car and van looked exactly as they did in their respective shows as if they were plucked right off of the screen. Kit even talked every once in a while and was unexpected and exciting.

Across from Kit in a small grassy knoll the Jedi light saber classes took place with the Saber Guild Corellia on hand to help young kids (padawans) wield a light saber and fight off the dark side.  During this time kids got to use light sabers and learn simple defense and attacks and after they were ready, they used their new training to battle some sith.

Once in the lobby we found a table selling some Garden State Comic Fest shirts, bags and other swag with some cosplay panels including a life size looking Predator.  The Cosplay tables were filled with fans and onlookers taking pictures with all of them and caused a bit of congestion to get to the food, but thats a good thing showing a great turn out!

Past the cosplay tables and into the main room there were endless rows of vendors, writers, comic book stands, artists, voice actors and more.  We saw everything from Father Evil to Keone Young, the voice of Shadow Strom from GI Joe.

The best thing about this convention was that it felt more personal then any other convention we visited. All of the people running booths were eager to talk to us and shre their stories on how they got started in their respective fields.  This is something that really doesn’t happen at a lot of other big conventions and it felt good to get that personal touch.

At the Source Point Press booth (probably our favorite booth) we met up with a writer named Ben. He told us the story on how he transitioned from making music to writing comics and gave us a run down on every story/comic the booth was selling.  After buying one of everything, we have to say the breakout stories for us were Seance (written by Ben himself) and The Family Graves.  If you haven’t read them, check them out.

In the end the convention was done very well, the isles of booths were easy to navigate, and finding everything in the venue was pretty easy.  The amount of varied types of entertainment, comic booths, artists, writers, publishers, and just other general creative people here was well worth the visit. If you are a first timer at a convention, this one isis the most welcoming, and if you are a convention veteran, you will appreciate the relaxed atmosphere. This is definitely a convention that we will be attending every year and hope to visit the other conventions they hold in Six Flags Great Adventure and Atlantic City.

Tonight at the virtual round table the team talks about Solo: A Star Wars Story and what they think of it.  We go crazy off the beaten path and talk everything about the new Solo movie and the cameos.  If you haven’t seen the movie, then stop reading or listening until you do cause Spoilers will commence.  We talk all about the dice, the wookie, Lando, and more on this episode.  Be prepared and surprised on what the team thought of the movie.

At the end the team gives their run down on where Solo fits into the list of worst to best Star Wars movies.  See if you agree with them and feel free to give you opions in the comment section.  We would really love to hear your feedback and thoughts on the Solo movie itself.

It’s a blockbuster summer for super hero movies and our team is back to do a Deadpool 2 review. Join Justin and Joe as they talk their thoughts on the movie and the future of the Deadpool franchise.  Like all our movie reviews, we start with a quick (or nerd caster quick) run through some of the most important scenes (and the ones we really liked).

After that we talk about how much we liked the movie, what our favorite parts were, what we liked least and compare it to the first Deadpool movie. Also, as you can expect from the Nerd Caster group we go off the subject on some things and shoe horn our way back to the topic.  So be on the look out for us talking about the Wolverine movies, Infinity War, Time travel, Pixar’s Up (because seriously, Russell from Up could be the same guy as Russell from Deadpool 2… no? Any way, guess the Wilderness badges didn’t work for him).

We round out the show asking for our fans to hit us up and let us know what they think before giving you all the information you can find below.  Also be on the look out for the Nerd Caster group at Garden State Comic Fest (GSCF) on July 7th and 8th.  Ask us if we have swag and if we do, we will be sure to hook you up.

Lori makes her illustrious return to the podcast to review Avengers Infinity War.  That’s right Justin and Joe are joined by Lori to do an Avengers Infinity War Review.  They go over the movie scene-by-scene to give there thoughts on what happened and that they liked/disliked or just plain thought was stupid.

After reviewing the movie, the real fun begins as they go over some theories they have on what will happen in Avengers 4. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, then be prepared as spoilers are all through this episode.  And seriously, if you haven’t seen it why not? Most of the world already has so get your butt up and out and watch this movie.

Lastly, if you are wondering about Danny, he will be back next week.  Once the trio re-unites to form the Megazord we will most likely be up to our usual shenanigans so be ready for us.

If there is anything you would like us to talk about, review, or you have something you want us to know (or have something in general interesting to say). Please feel free to leave it in the comments or send us an email.

Recently, Billy Mitchell has been in the news about his “possible” cheating at obtaining the world records in the video game realm. In the Episode “Billy Mitchell The Fall of Kong”, the boys talk about Billy Mitchell’s story with heavy influences from the King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters documentary.

Joe, Justin, and Danny dive deep into what they think of Billy Mitchell and weather or not he really did cheat to keep the world record for high score in Donkey Kong as well as being the first to reach 1 million points in the game.  Things get a little heated so listen in and enjoy the ride as the 3 don’t necessarily agree on everything when it comes to the great Silly… I mean Billy Mitchell.

After the Billy Mitchell conversation the boys talk about some Infinity War stuff.  Since Danny isnt caught up on the MCU they keep it vague to not ruin it for him.  Lastly, the trio go over some upcoming games they can’t wait for like (of course) Kingdom Hearts 3, Super Smash Brothers, Gears of War and then wrap up on some Nintendo talk specifically around Mario Sports games.  Can we get a Mario Strikers for the Switch please?
