Nerdy Show

When The Nerdy Show Network’s flagship podcast isn’t unloading on the latest geek news and happenings, we’re diving deep into super-specific discussions and interviews.In this case the specific discussion at hand is a stand-alone film review of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - the first film set in J. K. Rowling's Wizarding World not revolving around Harry Potter. You might recall back in 2013, our lukewarm feelings towards a film adaptation of the in-universe textbook, followed by a rising enthusiasm earlier this year when details of a more elaborate story came into view and the article series History of Magic in North America began its release, leading up to the film.Join Doug and Nina as they share their feelings on the film, fresh from an early screening - opening with a spoiler-free review and then switching gears to unrestricted discussions about what transpires and modern film's ever present nemesis: the clunky third act.For links and more info, head to the main episode page:http://nerdyshow.com/2016/11/review-fantastic-beasts-and-where-to-find-them

The Nerdy Show Network’s flagship podcast unloads on the latest geek news and happenings!The Big N has finally pulled back the curtain on the much-murmured WiiU follow-up, and it's a heck of a SWITCH from what we expected.

When The Nerdy Show Network’s flagship podcast isn’t unloading on the latest geek news and happenings, we’re diving deep into super-specific discussions and interviews.Look up in the night sky. What do you see? We'll tell you what: a smug, red dot bastard taunting us; saying, "oy, come on you blighters. I dare you." We don't know why he's cockney, but his name is Mars and clearly he's a jerk. Challenge accepted, squire. We've got a cadre of national and private enterprises determined to plant some flags in your smug face.Our journey to Mars has been a long road from the fanciful 20th century sci-fi that started it all, but the next space race is upon us and in 15 years humanity is likely to have made landfall on a new world. With SpaceX's recent announcement of their advantageous plans for colonizing, NASA's in-progress projects, and even the controversial Mars One project - exciting things are happening. Wait, what was that last one? Mars One? That's the private project determined to be the first to the Red Planet that got a lot of attention (and flack) when they announced they expected to fund their Mars missions by televising the whole thing as a reality show. That's the listener-requested discussion that launched this episode, but we're taking it one small step further and catching up with the latest from SpaceX and NASA too. What dangers of colonization are still unaccounted for? Does Mars One have a life after reality TV? Will public interest in space come back in full? Humans on Mars, Kyle. Humans on Mars.For links and more info, head to the main episode page:http://nerdyshow.com/2016/10/nerdy-show-microsode-journey-to-mars-nasa-spacex-and-mars-one

The Nerdy Show Network’s flagship podcast unloads on the latest geek news and happenings!We wanted to be upfront in that this episode of Nerdy Show is not unlike a box full of farts. Now, maybe that's problematic for you. But before you turn up (or pinch) your nose and walk away, we want to remind you that farts are only natural. Nature's stinky wink, if you will. Sly, but charming. Plus, you know that the box contains farts - but that might not be all that's in the box. It could, for example, contain a review of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, some chat about the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online and other Poké-news, predictions of which 90s comedies are destined to get unnecessary third installments, or maybe just good, ol' fashioned laughs.So join Cap, boR, Nicky, and Brandon as we unbox the flatulent fun. Brandon reports on his vacation and the Smithsonians he collected, Cap shares a recent TV show crush, boR voices a new batch of unpopular opinions, and Nicky strikes it rich with a childhood obsession. It's all here. Just tongue punch "play" for an earful of fun. For links and more info, head to the main episode page:http://nerdyshow.com/2016/09/nerdy-show-272-fart-box/
