Steve's out on vacation, so Jarman is flying solo this week. But that's ok! Because Jarman found some nerdy company at a party this past weekend and had some great conversations with some geeky friends. 

Listen in as Jarman interviews The Magical Alex Rapattoni, The Insightful Steven Barnett, The Mysteriously Charming BriPie Thompson and the Enchanting Jessica Horgan. They all provide their unique perspectives on what exactly it means to be a nerd, and how that compares to being a geek or even a dork. They also share with us some of their nerdy passions.

Bold statements are made, hilarity ensues, epiphanies are had. Listen in and enjoy the fun!

Steve returns next week, so come back and see us again for more Nerdy News, ridiculous segments, and of course, unsubstantiated Trailer Reviews!

Volcano Punching, Movie Insults, On the Stage or Screen? And Apologies to Octomom?!

We jumpstart things with some Nerdy News with apologies to a real life Octomom and more holes in the Siberian tundra.

Then we jump into another Supercut Showdown, this time with clips of quotes of movie insults where you and Steve have to guess what movie they come from. 

Then it's Copy Cat Cinema time once again with 1997's Volcano VS Dante's Peak! Jarman desperately tries to defend the steaming turd that is Volcano while Steve enjoys the mediocreness of Dante's Peak. So much lava and magma everywhere! We really made a burning mess of the A Play On Nerds studio this time around.

Then Steve busts out a new segment called That Was A Play? This is where Steve names a movie and we have to decide if it was indeed first a play before it was ever adapted for the screen. There are some surprises here for sure.

In Trailer Reviews, we cover Horns, Housebound, and Septic Man. Apparently we decided to go the decidedly comedic horror route this week!

Episode 18 - Muppets and Magic

Black holes and Dr. Strange are out of control in this week's Nerdy News, and then Steve jumps into more black holes with Blackhole Trivia, where Jarman has to answer trivia questions based on something he has a "black hole" of knowledge in. This time around, it's Muppets music! We'll see if Jarman can name where each of the songs are from, and we even have one for you, the listener, to answer, for a prize! (TBD...) 

Then Copy Cat Cinema returns with The Illusionist and The Prestige, two very similar movies that both came out in 2006 that we will review and revile. Full of Christian Bale crazies.

Somehow, Nicolas Cage gets mentioned 3 times in this podcast. Crazy.

For Trailer Reviews we cover Gone Girl, Video Games: The Movie, and The Death of Superman Lives. Check it out!
