Nerds of Prey

The ladies talk about how they'd like to see female/femme friendships evolve in entertainment. Then, they hang out with the seriously cool Fatimah Asghar (@asgharthegrouch), co-creator of the Brown Girls webseries (@BGWebseries) as she talks about creating the show, poetry, and identity.

Shannon, Lauren, and Mel got the chance to chat with writer and Executive Producer Extraordinaire, Monica Owusu-Breen (Lost, Fringe, Alias, Agents of Shield, the upcoming Midnight, Texas, and more)! Bask in all of her passionate and hilarious glory as she talks about her time on Alias, her love of Adventure Time, and the "carnival ride" we have to look forward to with NBC's Midnight, Texas. She's amazing! Music by: brandon* (except ad) Logo by: Landon St. Gordon Check out our patreon: patreon.com/nerdsofprey

In an awesome twist of fate, the ladies of Nerds of Prey got the chance to chat with actor Lewis Tan (Iron Fist)! He talked about his craft, his love of martial arts, creativity, and working with his father, the legendary Philip Tan, and director Lexi Alexander on his new film The Fire Born. Also, the women chat about all the trailers that dropped, for better or for worse.
