This week on Nerd Pow Wow, we're talking about one of our favorite members of the X-Men: Rogue.

We get into the evolution of Rogue's powers, her complicated history with Gambit and Magneto, her relationship with Mystique, alternate versions of the character, her marriage to Gambit, Strain 88, and some of the wildest things Rogue has done throughout Marvel history.

We also talk about X-Men '97, Rogue's emotional response to Gambit's death, the moment with Trask that pushed her across a moral line, and some of our favorite versions and moments from the comics and animated series.

Of course, it's Nerd Pow Wow, so the conversation takes a few unexpected detours along the way.

Spoiler warning: This episode contains spoilers for Rogue storylines and X-Men '97.

This week on Nerd Pow Wow, we're diving into The Mighty Nein and our thoughts on the first season of Critical Role's animated series.

We break down the characters who caught our attention, how this unlikely group comes together, the talented Critical Role cast behind them, and how The Mighty Nein compares with The Legend of Vox Machina. We also talk about what worked for us, what didn't quite click, and why we're interested in seeing where these characters go next.

And yes, there are a few classic Nerd Pow Wow squirrels along the way.

Spoiler warning: We discuss events from The Mighty Nein Season 1.

Darkwayne and SeraphTheHost dive into Dead by Daylight, talking through the game while breaking down what has kept it in their rotation for years.

They cover survivor and killer strategies, custom perk builds, tunneling, toxicity, 1v4 versus 2v8, licensed characters, DLC, and the constant mind games that keep every match feeling different.

The episode also gets into Judgment, Dead by Daylight’s new killer, along with newer and reworked killers, how different powers change the way survivors have to play, and what those additions mean for the current state of the game.

From Ghost Face, Nemesis, and Trickster to Nicholas Cage, Resident Evil, and more, the discussion shows just how much content Dead by Daylight has packed in over the years — and why it remains so hard for other asymmetrical horror games to take its place.

Art the Clown has become one of the most recognizable horror villains of the modern era—but how did an independent horror character become a mainstream icon?

This week the Nerd Pow Wow crew dives into the entire Terrifier franchise, discussing Damien Leone's creative vision, the evolution of Art the Clown, and why the series has exploded in popularity despite its low-budget beginnings.

Along the way we compare Art to horror legends like Pennywise, Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, and Jason Voorhees, talk about practical effects versus CGI, revisit Evil Dead, and debate whether psychological horror or pure slasher horror is actually scarier.

If you're a horror fan—or just curious why everyone is talking about Terrifier—this episode is for you.
