In this episode we are joined by the one and only Melissa's Mum!  Carol joins Melissa down in the basement to describe the 2022 MI Pari-con to Jarrad.  The ladies discuss all the great (and sometimes long) lectures they listened to, all the great weirdos they ran into and even discuss their dream lists for future paranormal inspired visits in the U.S.  It's a fun filled 90 minutes that even has a heartfelt tribute to their mutual friend Coyote Chris Sutton.  Also you're not gonna want to miss Mum and Melissa's story about the elusive Bigfoot statue.

It's time for another EPIC crossover! In this episode your nerdy hosts are joined by the excellent hosts of The MovieFilm Podcast, Zaki and Brian! Today's topic takes us to Springfield, home of television's favorite family, The Simpsons.  Zaki, Brian, Melissa and Jarrad are given the task of finding their favorite character and then ranking their 5 favorite episodes featuring said character.  With Melissa not growing up with the show the way the other 3 have, it creates a perfect balance between nostalgia and someone getting to experience episodes for the first time.  She also has some newer episodes that have slipped past her cohost and guests, both sides win and have something to look forward to!

In this episode your nerdy hosts return to the Wizarding World to discuss the Fantastic Beasts trilogy.  Once again inspired from Jarrad viewing the first film for the first time since indulging himself into the Harry Potter franchise and seeing both sequels for the first time.  He and Melissa spend 2 fun filled hours gushing over the love between Jacob and Queenie, relate to how much Newt dislikes human interaction and discuss where the spin-off franchise may have gone wrong.  What are Jarrad's opinions of this franchise vs The Harry Potter films?  Where would they like to see the story go if they get the full 5 film arc J.K. Rowling wanted?

June 24th, 2019, the Nerdnited Nations invaded the podcasting universe. In this episode we celebrate 3 years of nerdy bs with an epic crossover with Phillip Barker and Craig Blalock of the Eternal Knight Podcast.  What better topic for a crossover with a Batman podcast than to create your own Batman crossover? First time guest Craig kicks off things hot with a crossover that has every 80's child throwing their wallets at their phones, Phillip takes a different approach by retelling a classic Batman tale through the lens of another property, Melissa goes off the beaten path and brings our favorite fairytale to Gotham and Jarrad sets up one groovy crossover with 60's television rivals. This is an episode any Batman fan or DC creative exec shouldn't miss. Don't forget to listen to The Eternal Knight Podcast wherever you get your podcast fix!

Here's to 3 years and many more!  Thank you all for the love!

In observation of Mental Health Awareness Month in May, your nerdy hosts come back together with another top 5 list.  While looking on the bright side may be easier said than done most times, luckily we're spoiled with TV and films to provide us with characters to do that for us.  How many unseen gems will Melissa discover on Jarrad's list?  How long until they go without a reference to the Wizarding World?  How many squares can you fill on your Nerdnited Nations Bingo Card?

In this episode your nerdy hosts observe Mental Health Awareness Month by talking about characters that don't get the respect and attention they deserve, the eternal optimist.  While it may be hard for us to always see the bright side of things, thank goodness movies and television are there to have characters do that for us.  Will there be any crossovers? How long until either Melissa and Jarrad go without mentioning the Wizarding World?  How many squares on your Nerdnited Nations Bingo card can you cross off?  

Also in this episode, Melissa and Jarrad start a new monthly segment where they recommend a film to companion the topic for the episode. This month's recommendation: A Film to Help You Beat the Blues.

Do not adjust your sets and put on your listening sweaters for this one nerds and nerdettes.  You read correctly, in this mini episode your hosts are talking the greatest sport of all time, HOCKEY!!!!!  In celebration of the start of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, Jarrad dug to the absolute obscurest part of his childhood favorites and introduced Melissa to 1987's forgotten Canadian gem: Tales Of the Mouse Hockey League.  The tale of a flourishing mouse hockey team; The Jets lead by Benny the Bullet in their quest for the coveted Cheddar Cup.  Their season hits a speed bump when Roscoe and his Rink Rats steal the cup for themselves.  What did Melissa think of this practically/mostly forgotten "gem"?  Did Jarrad pull off a Nostalgia Wars Hat Trick or does this one go CLANG! off the post?
