Nerds Conferred

Marc and Dana are back for the summer! But first we felt like we needed to go back and talk about Civil War which has no depth. Boo. We also talk about comics, Star Trek movies, and stuff.

Bonus fun, the episode of Vidiots Video Store Show about Civil War is here: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/vidiots-video-store-show/e/text-message-theatre-captain-america-civil-war-44392628

Dana and Marc talk way too long about crap seasons, comics, mainstream-Whedon, continuity and world-building, sci-fi science, cancelled shows, and some future theories.

Dana and Marc finally return to their Agents of SHIELD commentaries in what turns into an unofficial FitzSimmons special discussing 3x18 "The Singularity." Dana alternately: shouts, beats pillows, squees, cries, and generally loses her shit. Marc amusedly spurs her on.

In the first official (test) Nerds Conferred Panel, Dana and Marc are joined by Aram and Will to discuss Batman v. Superman's miserable failures touching on DC Comics canon, squandered narrative possibilities, franchise-building fail, and the political implications of superheroes. WE PROFUSELY APOLOGIZE FOR THE AUDIO QUALITY. This was a logistical test.

Marc and Dana talk about what Agents of SHIELD does when it does good (and 3x17 "The Team" is very good), Dubsmash Wars, random film history, FITZSIMMONS, Captain America movies, and universe interconnectivity.

Marc and Dana discuss Hydra factions, Women in Refrigerators, and superpowers kind of sucking. Also some Doctor Strange and Ta-Nehisi Coates' Black Panther #1. Dana breaks up with Agents of SHIELD. Marc goads her about Simmons. They both forget to talk about Milton's Paradise Lost, alas.

Dana rips Agents of SHIELD 3x15 "Spacetime" to shreds while Marc mostly listens.

Dana and Marc discuss Agents of SHIELD 3x14 with world-building, cult storytelling, and universe connectivity. Also sci-fi Nazis, Borg Collectives, and DC playing catchup.

Launching from Agents of SHIELD 3x13, Marc and Dana discuss global security, spin-offs, and narrative utility. Also Agent Carter. And Hydra. And everything else.
