It's finally time to answer the age old question- what's the difference between nerds, geeks, and fans? Why do we categorize interest in certain subjects as fandom rather than being a geek or nerd?

Join us for a crash course in defining what it means to be a fan- and how that differs from what we have come to known as nerds and geeks!

To quote Cyborg: "I heard about you. Didn't think you were real." After years of speculation, hashtags, and a global pandemic, director Zack Snyder has released his version of the film he began working on back in 2015.

Does the vision of original director Zack Snyder turn the much maligned Justice League movie into a masterpiece? Does the final result justify the existence of the #releasetheSnyderCut movement? Why did Joss Whedon and Warner Brothers make the decisions they made 4 years ago?

This week the boys and Mljonir get together to discuss "The Boys". Just when you think the superhero genre has been satirized and deconstructed enough, here comes the comic book turned streaming series to prove that there is still more to be done with this concept.
