Episode 61 - The Dark Crystal and Zero Charisma

June 7, 2016

This week we introduce a brand new feature segment to the podcast: Retro Retrospective! Both Steve and Jarman pick one of their favorite movies that the other has not seen, and then they join up on the podcast to review them with each other. In future iterations of this segment they will surely not agree on why each movie should be a favorite, but this time around, they do! For this episode we review one of Steve's favorites, The Dark Crystal, from the genius mind of Jim Henson; and for one of Jarman's favorites, we review Zero Charisma, a film all about a misfit who runs some serious games of Dungeons and Dragons. Let us know what you think of the new segment!

For Nerdy News Steve tells us of 99 million year old ants and why human babies are so useless, and Jarman regales us with news of possible Captain Marvel casting in the MCU and how Elon Musk thinks we are definitely living in a computer simulation.

For Trailer Reviews we have the new and improved Star Trek Beyond trailer and the Mark Strong lonesome in space flick, Exploring the Unknown.

Episode 59 - Copy Cat Cinema - Red Planet VS Mission to Mars

May 4, 2016

Two movies with nearly the same plot, released in the same year...it's time for another addition of Copy Cat Cinema! This time with Red Planet VS Mission to Mars! Steve and Jarman both pick a film and have to fight to the death on which one is better...even though they are both pretty crappy...let's be honest.

We also cover some great Nerdy News with awesome discoveries in pre-historic dolphins, ancient homo-sapiens with some serious STDs, the Wheel of Time books getting a TV series, Game of Thrones interrupting porn, and Netflix announcing a standalone Punisher series!

For Trailer Reviews we have the Snowden bio-pic and the gun-happy remake of Magnificent Seven.

Episode 58 - Marc with a C!

April 13, 2016

Join us for an awesome interview with Marc with a C! He's a musician that didn't purposefully focus in on all things nerdy, but nerds immediately embraced him as one of their own. He's produced 12 albums and several EPs, all with his own very unique style. 

We chat with him about what it took for him to get where he is now, his musical influences, and the highs and lows of performing for live audiences. We also get to hear some of his music, including his new album, Unicorns Get More Bacon, which is available at his website MarcWithAC.com as well as the benefit album we discuss on the episode, Songs for Aubree. 

All songs played with permission by Marc with a C

We star the show off with some Nerdy News involving horrific scientific experiments involving baboons, and some Suicide Squad news that may make you happy or really make  you worry. 

For Trailer Reviews we cover two oddities; Swiss Army Man with Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano, and the awesome looking upcoming foreign action film, Guardians: Soviet Super Heroes.
