The NerdSync Podcast

If you haven't heard the news yet, Sony and Marvel Studios have stuck a deal that will allow them to share Spider-Man in upcoming films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe! It also means that Sony will be getting some help from Marvel Studios regarding new solo Spidey films. This kind of deal is something the fans have been wanting for what seems like forever, so we're going to talk about all the upsides and downsides on this week's podcast!

We'll also discuss casting decisions to fill the role of Peter Parker after Andrew Garfield inevitably leaves, as well as what villains from Spider-Man's excellent rogues gallery and storylines we want to see on the big screen!

We are joined by Ricky from Stewdippin. Go check out his channel here:

Justice League: Throne of Atlantis is DC's latest animated film, and it centers around New 52 Aquaman. Naturally, we HAVE to talk about it! The movie retells Aquaman's origin in this new movie universe as well as adapting the Throne of Atlantis story arc from the comics. Did we love it? Did we hate it? It was definitely one of those answers, or probably some other one.

SPOILER WARNING for the entire movie! I forgot to mention that at the beginning of the podcast, but I hope you understand that we can't talk for an hour about a movie without giving away all the spoilers.

Benny from Comicstorian stops by to discuss his own internet "origin story" of how he got started on YouTube and how he found accidental success making videos about comics. We also talk about how he stays productive with his busy schedule, his methods for managing the hundreds of comments he gets every day, The Weekly Pull podcast, and exciting upcoming projects!

Also, we talk a little bit about Deadpool at the end, but that's not super important.

Marvel released the much awaited Ant-Man trailer as well as a second trailer to Avengers: Age of Ultron, so naturally we're going to talk about them! We're discussing the odd tone and lackluster quality of the Ant-Man trailer, and the possibility of a Hank Pym Marvel One-Shot.

Also, we make predictions and talk about theories surrounding the plot of Age of Ultron and the Marvel Cinematic Universe going forward. We were all very tired when this was recorded as well, so forgive us for that.

What was your favorite part of the Ant-Man or second Age of Ultron trailer? Let us know on Facebook and Twitter!

We are back from our overly-long break to bring you exciting and 100% true predictions of things that are definitely going to happen in the realm of comic book movies and tv shows in 2015! Mostly though, we're just here to talk to you about the things we're excited about this year. We're talking about Batman: Arkham Knight, Ant-Man, Age of Ultron, a Batman Very Superman trailer, and that Fantastic Four reboot that we all know is going to be the greatest movie mankind has ever and could ever possibly produce.

We've also got a ton more stuff we're talking about, but be warned of SPOILERS regarding the Walking Dead mid-season finale and pretty much all of Agents of SHIELD, plus some little stuff revolving around Arrow and Flash as well. That was just a ton of keywords I definitely didn't throw in for SEO purposes...

What are you most excited for in 2015? Let us know on Facebook and Twitter!

IMPORTANT: Make sure you hit play at exactly 11pm on December 31st so we can count down the last hour of the New Year with you all! Or, y'know, do whatever you want. It's not really that important.

In this unedited podcast episode, Scott, Chris, and Bryce reflect on 2014 in movies, tv shows, video games, and the amazing progress NerdSync has made thanks to all you fantastic listeners! Be warned, there are a few awkward moments that would normally be edited out, but we kept them in since we didn't want to edit out anything. I am so sorry for that, but now you get to hear what a podcast sounds like before Bryce gets to it with all his editing magic!

Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful 2014! Thank you for making ours so exciting! Here's to the best year ever, 2015! #ExclamationPoints!!!

The Trivia Challenge was a regular feature on our YouTube show, Comic Misconceptions, but it was discontinued many moons ago for completely legitimate reasons. After months and months of people like you asking for its return, I'm happy to announce that today we're bringing it to the podcast! Get ready for some fun and nerdy quizzes that will test your knowledge and make the rest of us look like idiots.

Bryce quizzes us about old comic book and superhero movies that show how young and naive we really are. Chris mixes his love of sitcoms with comics in his quiz about actors who have played characters in both. And Scott ironically goes last with his quiz about being FIRST!

Superhero movies don't just come from comic books. Today, we're discussing our favorite non-comic superhero films that range from amazingly good to just plain weird. Chris hits us with some unconventional superhero movies from his childhood like Medallion, Drive, and Unbreakable. Scott sticks pretty closely to the classic tights and capes model with The Incredibles, Super, and Sky High. Meanwhile, Bryce talks about Kazaam and Warriors of Virtue, two movies that completely baffle us.

HEADS UP: This podcast contains some mature themes.

What is your favorite superhero movie that isn't based off of a comic book? Let us know on Facebook and Twitter!

Comic book movies and tv shows are everywhere these days. That means there are lots of actors who get a chance to play our favorite superheroes and comic characters, but which ones are our favorites? Today, Scott, Bryce, and Chris are talking about the actors and actresses who they think portrayed their live-action comic book role the best and the worst. There is also a short trivia quiz at the end involving actors who have played multiple comic book characters.

FULL DISCLOSURE: Some things said in this episode might possibly offend you in some way. That is not our intention. We're just a bunch of idiots. Don't put any weight in anything we say.
