First up it's Nerdy News, where we discuss the passing of Nintendo's CEO, Satoru Iwata, as well as the perplexing relationship between bats and pitcher-plants. Also, those creepy lights on the planet Ceres are still causing problems for our friends at NASA...

For our main feature, Steve and Jarman, along with our special guest co-host, Patrick, jump into the world of Bethesda's Fallout. It's an awesome game series with it's fourth (technically 5th) installment coming out soon. With all the buzz over the new game, we thought we would discuss the history of the game and what makes it awesome.

For Trailer Reviews we have the great bounty from San Diego Comic Con; a new Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer, and the very first Suicide Squad trailer. Come hear our take on them!

Steve and Jarman jump head on into the world of real and fake dinosaurs. First we discuss some fun crazy facts about the real deals that walked this earth over 65 million years ago, then we jump into the genetically modified soup of the Jurassic Park franchise; reviewing the first three films. We throw in our totally valid opinions on Jeff Goldblum's strange laugh, tons of random trivia on the films, and utter let-down of the third film. 

Only then do we jump into a spoiler-filled review of Jurassic World. We give you plenty of warning for spoiler time so feel free to listen up to that point if you haven't seen Jurassic World yet or listen on if you just don't care.

Before the dinos we dish out some more bizarre Nerdy News, then end the show with some Trailer Reviews of The Martian and Into the Grizzly Maze.

Episode 40 - Monty Python's Everything!

It's our 40th episode, ad the 40th anniversary of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, so we though we would give an in depth look into the history of Monty Python, each of their individual members, and the movies that made them such a huge sensation across the globe. We play some hilarious clips, talk about the merits of each film, and give our own personal take on their impact in our own lives.

Before the feature, we jump into some pretty nightmarish Nerdy News, and experience the return of the legendary segment, Brooklyn Band or Smut Search! Where you have to decide; was this a term someone searched for in a porn search engine? Or is it the name of Brooklyn indie band?

After the feature we tackle some Trailer Reviews, with Cooties and The D Train.

(Including Brigitte's great love for Arrow's Stephen Amell)

You can find them over at TheRustedRobot.podbean.com, @therustedrobot on Twitter, or follow them on iTunes or on Stitcher Radio. Or follow Shawn on Twitter @DarthVaderloo and Brigitte @BrigVanderloo

Have you seen Avengers: Age of Ultron yet?! Confused by who this Ultron guy is that now apparently has his own "Age"? Well join Jarman and Steve as they go to comic book school with Geoffrey Combs, a man with a 25,000 comic book collection, as he explains to them the history of Ultron, from his 1968 trash can form, to his James Spaderific version of today. 

We also ask Geoff his opinion on other various comic book characters, and the overall future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The show also starts off with Nerdy News, and ends with Trailer Reviews of found footage horror film Area 51, M. Night Shyamalan's next romp, The Visitor, and Spectre, the next Bond film.
