Episode 93 - The Postman and Problems in Post

May 3, 2018

Due to a terribly unfortunate glitch, we lost the main portion of this episode, where we discussed the movie The Postman, in a new segment To The Death! - where we review a film that one of us absolutely loves, but the other absolutely hates. Jarman is in love with The Postman even though it is pretty universally reviled. But, as mentioned, we lost that whole segment due to a strange computer glitch.

What did survive the terrible glitch was our related interview with Shawn Vanderloo, who is a real life "postman" in Canada. He tells us all about the ups and downs of his job as a letter carrier. It's a super fun romp! And you may already know Shawn as he a host on both The Rusted Robot Podcast and the Soul Forge Podcast. You should definitely check them out!

Sorry for the loss of what was a hilarious episode, but we'll be back with you in another full episode of A Play On Nerds in a couple weeks. We're moving into a brand new studio space, so it will take a bit of time to get set up. See you then!

Episode 78 - Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home - Film Review!

July 5, 2017

This week on the podcast we continue our ongoing series where we review all the films in the Muppets and Star Trek franchises, with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home! To help us do that we have super-Star Trek fans and co-hosts of the Ten Forward Podcast, Matt Hansen, Paul Wright and Chris Mitchell! They'll help us delve into this fan favorite Star Trek film in detail. 

For the rest of the show we have some Nerdy News, with the discovery of the possible "missing link" of whales, and some crazy shake-ups with the production of the next Star Wars spin-off film with Han Solo.

Trailer Reviews are very short, for reasons you'll hear on the show, with Blade Runner: 2049 and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.

Episode 74 - The Muppets Take Manhattan with Tough Pigs!

March 14, 2017

For today's episode, in our ongoing series of reviewing every film in the Star Trek and Muppets film franchises, we review The Muppets Take Manhattan! To help us take on this monumental task we have Ryan Roe and Joe Hennes, co-owners of ToughPigs.com; the website for Muppet fans who grew up! These two are huge experts in everything Muppets, and you can find more about them and their site, and every thing Muppets, at ToughPigs.com, or follow them on Facebook. In both places you'll find posts daily of Muppet news, tidbits of trivia, and even exclusive interviews with the cast and crew of different Muppet productions! Be sure to check them out.

Our extensive review of the film took up most of our episode, so there is no Nerdy News or Radical Recommends this time, but we do have some listener mail and we couldn't resist reviewing the new trailer for Alien Covenant.

October 31, 2016

(This episode was recorded prior to last night's episode 2 of The Walking Dead) In this episode we discuss the much anticipated episode one of the new season seven of The Walking Dead! We are joined by A Play On Nerds contributor Jerry Herrera! You may have seen his reviews on our site for such shows as The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead, Outcast and Westworld! We talk about the events of the episode and how it made us feel (we cried). 

Before that we discuss EPCOT's Food and Wine Festival, more with new babies, and horror movie suggestions for the Halloween season! 

For Nerdy News we discuss the casting of Donald Glover in the upcoming Han Solo spinoff movie as Lando Calrissian, a new scientific study on personality types and how they change over time, and the competitive behavior of male and female chimpanzees!

Later in Trailer Reviews, we discuss the upcoming alien communication flick, Arrival, and the final installment of the Wolverine franchise, Logan.
