March 22, 2017 Nerdy Show Microsode: Ultraman
Here it comes! You've heard us talk about kaiju and daikaiju of all sizes, but we've never devoted an entire discussion to Japan's giant silver defender, Ultraman... until now.In this listener-requested Microsode, the Ultraman-uninitiated (Cap and Brandon), discover the series via the tender, loving hands of tokusatsu enthusiasts Arkais and Ghostbusters: Resurrection's Mike Wall. We can only scratch the surface of this long-running, record-breaking, multiversal series, but just like every pastoral farmhouse in Ultraman's wake, we leave a mark. Get advice on where to start, learn about the series' legendary pedigree, and more!For links and more info, head to the main episode page:http://nerdyshow.com/2017/03/nerdy-show-microsode-ultraman/

March 15, 2017 Episode 284 :: Zelda Carts Give You the Breath of the Wild
Do you love that not-so-fresh feeling? Do you delight in the mouth stank that comes with sleeping in the wilderness and necking with bokoblins on lonely nights? You crave the Breath of the Wild!Join Cap, boR, Brandon, and Jon as we examine this vastly different installment in the Zelda series: gameplay, storyline, and yes... flavor. We also discuss our quest to procure Nintendo Switches, and our experiences with the new system. While their carts might taste like poison, is this the breath of fresh air Nintendo needs to get back in the game?While the Big N might dominate the discussion, there's still room for other nerditudes, like Overwatch's Orisa, the grizzled, hard-R Old Man Logan, and our discovery of a fascinating and horrible late 90s reality show from Japan that locked a man named "Eggplant" naked in a room for a year, surviving only by winning magazine contests. Delicious!For links and more info, head to the main episode page:http://nerdyshow.com/2017/03/nerdy-show-284-zelda-carts-give-you-the-breath-of-the-wild/

March 07, 2017 Nerdy Show Review: Kong: Skull Island
Prepare yourself for an ape apocalypse! If you're on the fence about Kong: Skull Island like we were, this spoiler-free review will see you right. It's a hard sell: a King Kong reboot set in the same universe as the 2014 Godzilla - hypothetically aiming for a crossover. We think we were right to be skeptical, but the results? Well, join Brandon and boR as they provide their reactions and takeaways... Let's just say that, much like the characters of the film, they were surprised by what they found.

March 07, 2017 Interview: Fatal Farm Returns to Lasagna Cat
Chances are good that at some point you've seen a video created by Fatal Farm. They're a duo of FX wizards who specialize in subversion and surrealism, and whose work is as hilarious as it is head-scratching. They've done sketches for Key & Peele, had a hand in two Adult Swim specials, are the brains behind the notorious penis-exploding scene in Our RoboCop Remake, and nearly 10 years ago, unleashed three incredible web series on an unsuspecting world, including their crown jewel: Lasagna Cat.

Lasagna Cat is a "tribute" to the works of Jim Davis - live action reenactments of Garfield strips put into a psychic blender. We've been revisiting these videos for years... and all of a sudden there's more of them... and a 1-800 number sex survey. Sound confusing? Never fear - all will be explained. Cap is joined by Fatal Farm (Zach Johnson and Jeffery Max) as they peel off the cat suit and expose the series' unmentionables. Learn why (and how) they collected 1000 people's sexual information, hear about the years of trials and tribulations that led to this glorious Garfield moment - and that's just for starters. They also share an alternate TV intro that never came to be, how their prank series Infinite Solutions prompted an emergency Microsoft meeting, muse on transposing pop culture and pop art, share pro tips for faking birth in a bathroom stall, and give us a taste of the creature features to come.

February 28, 2017 Episode 283 :: JNCO Genes
Ever caught yourself soul searching? You might look inside yourself and ask, "who am I?" Examining your personality, perhaps your heritage, maybe even your genetic makeup. Then, you turn your gaze outward. How do you define yourself? Is it the way you cut your hair? The shirts you wear? Friend, if you're soul-searching you need a piece of clothing that's more than a lifestyle - it'll change you to your core: you need JNCO Genes.But hey, this is Nerdy Show! Cap, boR, Jon, and Trench have way more info to bequeath to you than ill-advisable fashion tips. In this episode we discuss the thrilling discovery of potentially habitable exoplanets, the future of The Dark Crystal, a sampling of the cartoons we've been watching, and much more!For links and more info, head to the main episode page:http://nerdyshow.com/2017/03/nerdy-show-283-jnco-genes/

Yes, we finally let ultra car nut, Ghostbusters: Resurrection's Adam Briggs take the wheel, and along for the ride is fellow Ghostbuster Mike Wall, Wicked Anime's Jonathan Fleming, and your resident Nerdy Show mainstays Cap and Brandon.Discover the geek whips that we dig the most, learn a thing or two about what cars Briggs loves and loathes, attempt to figure out what the heck is up with Kamen Rider Drive, and brace yourselves as we find out how many topical detours can we take before we crash this thing in a ditch.For links and more info: http://nerdyshow.com/2017/02/nerdy-show-microsode-geeky-cars/

February 15, 2017 Episode 282 :: My Farty Valentine
Valentine's Day may have come and gone, but its pungent perfume lingers thick in the air. Whether you've got the post-V-Day blues or or are a regular polyamorous Poe Dameron - Nerdy Show has got the comedown you need: the robust voice of Flame On's Jarrod Pope. Join Cap, boR, Brandon, and Jarrod's sumptuous pipes as they take a tumble with a plethora of pop culture. We give our first impressions on two recently-debuted comic book TV shows that are decidedly not about superheroes (Legion and Powerless), review the based-on-a-true-story(ish) medieval fantasy game, Nioh, and share our excitement for forthcoming projects like Adi Shankar and Warren Ellis' Castlevania. But oh, dear listener, that's far from all - we also call a 1-800 number to attempt to reactivate a webseries about Garfield and abuse Jarrod's sexy voice with some nerdy pick-up line recommendations from your favorite lil' stinker: Brandon.For links and more info, head to the main episode page:http://nerdyshow.com/2017/02/nerdy-show-282-my-farty-valentine/

February 04, 2017 Nerdy Show Review: The LEGO Batman Movie
Hear our spoiler-free LEGO Batman Movie review! Will Arnett's brooding and hilariously self-absorbed Batman returns in a send-up to every incarnation of the caped crusader and his ginormous gallery of villains. It's a pleasant departure from the grimdark Batmen of recent films and, like The LEGO Movie before it, is a non-stop pop culture explosion for all ages.Join Cap and Doug for a frank discussion of the highs and ho-hums of the film. Can this spin-off stack up to its predecessor? Will Billy Dee Williams finally get his moment as Two-Face? And... if everything is awesome, is there such a thing as too much awesome? These and many other inter-locking questions will be confronted in this movie Microsode!For links and more info, head to the main episode page:http://nerdyshow.com/2017/02/lego-batman-movie-review/
