Join us for an awesome interview with beer expert and brewer Dan Armerding. He really nerds out on beer with us, discussing the history of the beverage and the science into going into the creation of it. He also discusses what makes different beers taste the way they do. You'll learn a lot and it was a lot of fun at the same time.

Episode 49 - New Star Trek TV Series!

November 9, 2015

With CBS's recent announcement of a new Star Trek TV series officially on the horizon, we figure it's the perfect time to wildly speculate as to what it will be about! When will it be set? Who will be cast? What universe will it be in?! We try to guess at the answer to these questions and more. For much needed help in this giant discussion we are joined buy Chris Mitchell from the Ten Forward Podcast, and Ryan Porter from Positively Nerdy! They add their essential Star Trek knowledge and expertise. You can find our guests on Twitter: Chris @ChrisCantFly and Ryan @PositivelyNerdy

Before we delve into the main discussion, Steve contribute some bizarre Nerdy News about helmets and auto-erotic-asphyxiation, and Jarman gives an update on that possible alien Dyson sphere far far away.

In Trailer Reviews, we discuss the much anticipated Warcraft film, and the controversial upcoming Tarantino flick, The Hateful Eight.

Episode 48 - Halloween Villains Special

October 29, 2015

In this special early release of A Play On Nerds we discuss all of our favorite villains of movies, TV, comics and video games, in honor of Halloween weekend!

Before the feature we discuss some Nerdy News with a tale of a possible real life zombie attack on an airliner and also some Star Wars: The Force Awakens fan theories.

Steve tests Jarman's knowledge of villains with Sidekick Showdown where he names the villain's sidekick/minion and we have to guess what villain they roll with.

Jarman also plays Villainous Voices, where he plays the sound clip of the villain and you have to guess what villain made those villainous utterances. There are some real softballs in there...

At the end, we have some great trailers to review, with the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer, and the upcoming Seth Rogan/Joseph Gordon-Levitt/Anthony Mackie vehicle, The Night Before.
