It's finally here! Well, the first half of it at least. One of anime's biggest shows comes back from a year hiatus and delivers the first part of its final chapter. Join the New Block Nerds this week as we defend the greatest war criminal in anime history.

This week on the New Block Nerds Podcast, the guys are back in Winterfell as Jon Snow watches from afar as his lord father hosts the royal family in Winterfell's Great Hall.

An anime based on Vikings?! That's kinda bizarre. Prince and Darron dive into Season 1 of 2019's Vinland Saga. Darron seems to think it's already better than Attack on Titan, but maybe he's crazy. Or maybe he's not?

Ant-Man & The Wasp Quantumania is here in all its glory, or lack thereof. Did Kang the Conqueror live up to the hype? Prince and Darron give their opinion on the MCU's new big bad and debate whether the MCU is losing its magic.

On the heels of James Gunn's announcement that we are finally going to see a live-action Robin on the big screen (Batman & Robin doesn't exist to us anymore), Darron and Prince discuss one of their favorite Robin-centric stories. Join us this week as we take a deep dive into Batman: Under the Red Hood and the guys will tackle the age old question in Batman fandom; why doesn't Batman kill?

The Ant-Man Quantumania trailer has dropped and Kang the Conqueror is here in all his glory.

Back in the north, King Robert Baratheon and all his retainers arrive in Winterfell. Following formal courtesies, the king and Ned take a stroll down to the Winterfell crypts.

Winter is coming.

This one is for all our anime lovers! What kind of anime are you into? Shonen? Thriller? Sports? On this week's episode, Prince and Darron break down their top 5 favorite anime series of all time. Don't come for us DBZ fans, it didn't make the cut.
