Nerdherder Podcast

Holy cow, 2 episodes in the same year?! Unprecedented! Just want to say the response to last week's episode was fantastic so we pushed this one out as fast as we could. Listen along for a little Agatha & The Coven of Chaos news, some refocusing of the blame of Dr. Strange 2's dismal run and some reaffirmation of why we're probably not going to see The Flash (even though I want to support Michael Keaton)...We go a little in-depth on Free Comic Book Day and finish up with our review of Shazam 2, as promised from last week. 

Our *mostly* annual (when there's not a pandemic) AwesomeCon Podcast!! We talk panel shenanigans from Friday and Saturday and we look forward to Sunday's wrap-up. We are joined by podcast friend Cate and we shout out a bunch of new friends of the show. And we navigate the convention's "new normal" where everyone is masked, not just the serious cosplayers.  

We decided to crank out a quiby...wait, that might be a copyright...a blip? We bring you, a blip! It's a short podcast with some musings on Suicide Squad and Titans. We also look at Disney's crummy track record with compensating their content creators (and actors!). 

We geek out over Umbrella Academy Season 2, Loki and our anticipation of Suicide Squad. There are some key dates coming up for content that you won't want to miss. We breakdown some of those new Star Wars Lego releases and reflect a bit on Jodie Whitaker's run as Doctor. Is Scarlett Johansson's lawsuit a taste of things to come? And yes, I did leave the last minute of raw audio, there's a charm and character to it, I couldn't bring myself to edit it down.   

Content Conundrums Batman, Is The CW trying to swipe content? HBO can't seem to migrate content to their platform fast enough. Is Amazon's content release schedule too slow? We review The Boys Ep 2 & 3 and Mulan over on Disney+. We also look at some new toy offerings from Funko and Lego. 

This week, we commemorate the life of Chadwick Boseman and dig into possible scenarios for the MCU. Is Mulan worth the upcharge and is getting picked up by a major podcast distributor worth the hassle? We deliver a definitive release date for the PS5, with pricing. Booster Gold in the Arrowverse, is his time now? (see what I did there)? Do you have room in your house for some awesome LEGO sets, because if you do, we take a look at 3 sets of varying price that could be under your tree in just a few short months.

In this week's show, we ponder whether hiring Joss Whedon is worth the trouble and we take a longing look at the upcoming Neil Gaiman audiobook of Sandman. Stan Lee is (possibly) still churning out hits, even after he's gone and Atari still churning out systems well after their time has come and gone.

We've had some things IRL that sucked away our podcasting time, but we're back to bring you our first impressions of Disney+, The Mandalorian and some of the offerings from Apple. We review some of the shows we've been watching, including the CW offerings AND Nancy Drew. And we discuss the upcoming video game awards.

Video Game Awards Nominees

In this week's episode: Disney-Netflix deal looks more like a messy custody battle as the divorce is finalized. Apple resurrecting old tech for a new purpose. Sega's Genesis mini has unveiled all 42 titles that it will have, but is it worth it? Gloomhaven gets even bigger (if that's possible) and we take a look at Star Wars Land as it finally gets revealed to the masses.
