The Nerd & Tie Podcast

On this episode, some folks in the convention community are taking a real L. From Vic Mignogna’s petition to the Supreme Court of Texas getting rejected, to MagFest dragging up GamerGate dog whistles, to whatever the heck Neo Anime Oasis is doing… it’s a doozy.

We also talk about Gen going to EverCon, and Avatar 2 somehow being culturally relevant?

It’s the end of another year, which means it’s time for our annual “year in review” episode, where we look at the best and worst things that came out in movies, television, video games, and more! It’s probably the most chaotic episode we’ve done in a while too.

We are off the rails right out of the gate.

The post 186. The Best and Worst of 2022! first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

On this episode of Nerd & Tie we start with Celeste talking about her experiences at ColossalCon North. After that we review Season One of Andor, season one of Wednesday, and the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. We also discuss the new trailer for the Super Mario Bros Movie, as well as bemoan Twitter’s fate.

It’s a lot of fun, and we think you’ll enjoy it.

On this month’s episode of The Nerd & Tie Podcast we talk about the Ryan Kopf lawsuit against us getting dismissed, the foam pit debacle at TwitchCon, the new Gundam series, the Mario trailer, She Hulk, Rings of Power, and the end of Chibnall’s run on Doctor Who.

The post 184. It’s Finally Over first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

On this episode of the Nerd and Tie Podcast we start out by talking about how you probably shouldn’t partake in anything Rurouni Kenshin related. After that we discuss The Last of Us trailer, She-Hulk, Andor, Lower Decks, and Rings of Power. It’s a lot of media, and it’s a lot of fun.

The post 183. Pay Your Gosh Dang Employees first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

On this episode of The Nerd & Tie Podcast we discuss Vic Mignogna losing his appeal — likely putting the final nail in this lawsuit’s coffin (and Vic’s career) for good. It’s been years of this thing, but it’s apparently finally over.

And Vic lost big time.

After that we cover the criminal sexual contact charges filed against Gary Busey following Cherry Hill, NJ’s Monster Mania convention, HBO Max’s post-Warner Bros Discovery content apocalypse, review the first couple episodes of Marvel’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and rave over Netflix’s adaptation of Sandman.

The post 182. Buh-Bye, Vic Mignogna. first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

On this episode of The Nerd & Tie Podcast, we’re talking about our reactions to the complete seasons of Ms. Marvel, Star Trek: Stranger New Worlds, and Stranger Things 4. Then, apparently Netflix is making another live action adaptation of Death Note, and Celeste and Gen geek out over Trigun Stampede. That and we celebrate being around for nine years now, which is just mind boggling if you think about it.

The post 181. Perfect Strangers first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

On this episode of the Nerd & Tie Podcast, we talk about the completed season of Disney Plus’s Obiwan Kenobi, the first few episodes of Ms. Marvel, and Netflix’s third season of The Umbrella Academy. Celeste also details their experiences at JAFAX, and we take a Sonic the Hedgehog quiz!

The post 180. Celeste’s Ongoing Hotel Adventures first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

On this episode of the Nerd & Tie Podcast, we’re talking about Anime Central dropping their COVID safety last minute, our experiences at No Brand Con 2022, the CW cancelling a TON of shows, Obi-Wan Kenobi premiered on Disney+, and Stranger Things Season 4 is (mostly) out.

And in the mailbag we do a “Monster Truck or Power Rangers Monster” quiz — which is super fun.

The post 179. A Number of (Occasionally) Stupid Things first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

On this episode of The Nerd & Tie Podcast we were live at No Brand Con 2022! Nick gives a report on their trip to Karoshi Con, we discuss Our Flag Means Death, and then the rails are abandoned altogether, as we branch out to topics from Hanzo the Razor to Morbius. It’s a fun time – and we also tease Sean of Famicom Dojo and 2BWTT a bit… because he’s about ten feet away from us while we record this.

Also, please excuse the mask noise from Trae. We tried to get most of it out… but beards plus KN95 masks don’t always make for great audio.
