We give a quick remembrance to drummer Nick Menza, discuss Alien VS. Predator: Clue, got the highlights on WWE Extreme Rules, and talk Buffy the Vampire Slayer in proper nerd form with in-house special guests Meff and Holy Crow

Anime Next has ambition and promise, but weak building structure and foundation. And no, that's not a metaphor, the fucking place really started coming down! Also time travel, politics, and a surprise fashion show-themed tax-audit from Uncle Pennybags

Losing childhood crushes and implied gangbangs, going Black to the Future, translating WarCraft for nerds of a different color, and the colorless implications of #tonyssoblack VS #oscarssowhite. All this and nerdist writer/anime critic/professional BLERD Valerie Complex

CBS rejected a new TV adaptation of "Nancy Drew" after the pilot, despite testing well, is deemed "too female skewed for CBS." Had the show been picked up, audiences would have been treated to a re-imagined Drew, starring Sarah Shahi, a woman of colour, as a thirty-something NYPD detective. The pilot is still shopping to other outlets, meaning the series could still see the light of day, but there's no guarantee.

Tarzan, having acclimated to life in London, is called back to his former home in the jungle to investigate the activities at a mining encampment. Simple as that for a plot but somewhere you crowbar in Sam Jackson, supernatural ability to talk to animals, and a lot of grim on-screen murder in a pseudo family film... yeah, you might go all crosseyed like we did. Luckily there were washboard abs for days to keep us on track.

Talk of Independence day leads to a quick reminisce about the weirdness fo Jeff Goldblum

This years CTCon was less than favorable. And by "less than" we mean "WTF??!" ConnectiCon is an annual massively multi-genre convention dedicated to "a celebration of pop culture - everything from anime, to science fiction, comic books and card games. Amy gives us the full impressions

Pokémon Go is a free-to-play location-based augmented reality mobile that's reminded the world that Nintendo is still alive somewhere. While the initial release swept most of the world news and caused an epidemic, the gloss starts to fade and we give a realistic review of what the first taste has brought us. We talk some mess about our impressions and Amy and JM (actively playing the game) lay it out for Adam and Pat (behind the times by NOT playing the game)

Pat's personally wounded, Derrick's apologetic, James and Jonny are skeptical, and Adam couldn't give LESS of a f--... of a good gosh darn. We go in-depth on the dizzying highs, the terrifying lows, and the creamy middles of Brian Singer's latest crime against good cinema, "X-Men: Apocalypse."

Tarzan gets some hardcore revenge, Pokemon GO gets people hurt/killed, and ConnectiCon goers get the shaft. Seriously, you might think the world's coming to an end, except it's just so damned funny!
