The Nerds Awaken

San Diego Comic Con kicks off Thursday, July 21st, and The Nerds Awaken is going to be there!  In this episode, we chat about all things Comic Con: the panels we're most excited for, our speculations for what surprises the big studios might have in store, and Julie (the pro) gets Janna (the newb) hyped for the whole Comic Con experience.

Obi-Wan Kenobi has come to a close, and what a ride it was! We have been so impressed with this show, and our gratitude goes out to the writing team and Director Deborah Chow, who captured the hopeful spirit and emotional intelligence that we needed in Star Wars.  In this episode we break down Parts V and VI, from the epic lightsaber battles to the heart wrenching emotional moments. We were sad to see it end, but are excited to see what other stories Star Wars has in the future.

We're back in a galaxy far, far away, breaking down Parts lll and lV of the new Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi! We continue to be impressed by the show's heart, emotional intelligence, and appropriate amount of thrilling lightsaber moves.  We chat about Obi-Wan and Leia's adorable relationship, Reva's character development, and THAT character showing up earlier than we expected.  Plus, our theories and and hopes for the rest of the series! *cough* Anakin flashbacks *cough*

After 18 years, Ewan Macgregor is back on our televisions as Obi-Wan Kenobi! In this episode we process our initial thoughts and reactions to the first two episodes of the new Disney+ series. From Reva's obsession with Obi-Wan to the many surprise appearances (including our joy at *that* character playing such a big part), we nerd out and discuss our theories, favorite moments, and what (or who) we hope to see in the rest of the series. 

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

We bring to you Part 2 of our Breaking Down Bridgerton series where we dive a little further into some of our concerns and  story choices from Bridgerton Season 2 that didn't really work for us. Rest assure, there was still so much that we still LOVED and ADORED. While we may not agree on everything, we can all agree that Bridgerton gave us so much to talk about! Join the conversation! Find us on Instagram or Twitter and let us know how you felt.

Missed Part 1? You can find it here! 

Dearest Listeners,

We didn't intend to talk about Bridgerton, but as turned it out, we had a LOT to say about Season 2.  Brought to you in two parts, we talk about all the things we loved, how we felt the show adapted the source material, and the few elements of the show that just didn't work for us (looking at you, Love Triangle).  Whether you loved or hated the season, we'd love to hear your thoughts too! Find us on Instagram or Twitter and let us know how you felt.

You better hold on tight, spider monkey. We're breaking down all our thoughts and feelings about Robert Pattinson as The Batman. Join us and our friend, Andee, as we discuss all things the caped crusader - from Rob's turn as the Dark Knight to Zoe Kravitz's nearly purrfect (see what we did there) Catwoman to even what we needed to see and what we wished was left on the editing room floor.

We've made no secret about our deep and abiding love for Reylo fanfiction. So it only makes sense that we'd devote a whole-ass series to all the amazing fanfic authors who are getting book deals and taking their talents to a wider audience. We'll shine the spotlight on these authors and the different journeys they experienced to getting published, squeal about their books (we were even lucky enough to interview a few!) and hopefully encourage other fanfic writers who want to take the plunge into the publishing world as well.

In Part 1 we are thrilled to have Reylo author Elise Nelson on with us, whose vampire romance novel Smoke and Mirrors is available now! You can find Elise on Facebook, Instagram,  AO3 and at her website.

If there's one thing you need to know about The Nerds Awaken, it's that we love Adam Driver. Sure, we have other interests and will talk about other things, but he is the glue that brought us together.  In this episode, we look back at the phenomenal year that Adam has had, from the Burberry campaign to the House of Gucci red carpet.  Prepare for our uncensored thoughts on centaurs and Adam Driver's future.
