    Over the last two or so months, we’ve experienced some frustrating technical problems on both The Nerd Stash Show and Nerds Talk Movies. Furthermore, we felt like we were just coasting by week-to-week instead of making our product better.
    So, we’re taking the entire month of September off to get some stuff done behind the scenes and ensure we are constantly improving our podcasts. We’re also taking a month off because, frankly, we need a break. 
    In the meantime, you can still find us over on Twitter or Discord. Even though we won’t be recording, we’re still going to be around talking about all sorts of video games, movies, and TV shows. 
    Finally, regardless if you listened to our podcasts for 5 minutes or every week, we appreciate you and we hope you’ll stick with us when we return in October!

    But, we just couldn't leave before talking about this awesome trailer. 
    If you like what you hear, you can follow us on Twitter @NerdStashShow to get more of our dumb opinions on gaming, movie, and TV news.

  • Talking About The DC Cinematic Universe - Nerds Talk Movies #57
    Michael B. Jordan is reportedly working on a Val-Zod limited-time series for HBO Max. In other DC-related news, Leslie Grace has landed the role of Barbara Gordon in the upcoming Batgirl movie (which will also be on HBO Max).
    In this week’s episode, we shared our excitement over the two projects and why a Val-Zod project, in particular, sounds so interesting. We also have a broader (and somewhat unfocused) conversation about DC movies. At what point should we just stop caring about a larger DC cinematic universe? Tune in to hear our thoughts!
