Episode 432: Clam Bake
August 26th, 2026 | 1 hr 15 mins
2k games, GTA, God of War, Hal Jordan, MCU, Microsoft, Netflix, Ridley Scott, Star Wars, TV, The Witcher, The Witcher 3, Xbox, a24, activision, alien, amazon prime video, anthony bourdain, atari, cd projekt red, charles melton, dave bautista, dcu, destin daniel cretton, disney+, dolly parton, dragon ball z, ewan mcgregor, final fantasy vii, gamescom, gaming, geek, gilderoy lockhart, gorilla grodd, green lanterns, gta 6, gta vi, harry potter, hbo, hbo max, he-man, ikea, jimmy olsen, kit harrington, kratos, lanterns, masters of the universe, movies, naruto, nba 2k27, nerd, obi-wan kenobi, physical media, razer, robin hood, rockstar games, sicario, superman, the witcher 4, tim curry, tony, twitch, video games, wonderman
It’s a solo wanderer’s dispatch from the front lines of nerd culture — one host moving through comic shops, midnight movie premieres, maker garages, and the digital back‑alleys where fandoms thrive. No hype, no corporate gloss. Just raw, street‑level reporting on what’s new, weird, and worth caring about.

Episode 427: Zeus's Law
July 22nd, 2026 | 1 hr 6 mins
70mm, AI, Bethesda, DC, Doctor Doom, Donkey Kong, Fallout, God of War, Hulu, MCU, Matt Damon, Playstation, Ryan Reynolds, Sony, Star Wars, TV, Tom Cruise, Warhammer 40k, Xbox, a24, activision, amazon prime video, aston martin, avengers, avengers doomsday, backrooms, bungie, call of duty, chrisotpher nolan, clayface, coleman domingo, days of thunder, dcu, deadpool, disney, eBay, fallout 5, gamestop, gaming, geek, grand theft auto 6, gta 6, harada, hoppers, imax, infinity ward, jason bourne, knights of the old republic, kotor, kratos, lego, marathon, marvel comics, marvel studios, modern warfare 4, movies, nerd, nintendo, nintendo switch 2, obsidian entertainment, paramount pictures, physical media, pixar, playstation 5, pokemon, pokemon go, roblox, robocop, saber interactive, space marine 2, starfield, tekken, the elder scrolls, the elder scrolls 6, the odyssey, the princess and the frog, the x-files, toy story 5, video games, walt disney pictures, warhammer, warner bros
If you are looking for a review of the odyssey, you wont find it here, but we have other exciting news. Like Disney cuts Pixar staff, even after making a billion dollars. Or Is Nintendo justified in telling consumers to stuff it after tariff refunds? PlayStation ain't budging on ditching discs, and some sales numbers back them up. But hey, at least we got a trailer for Avengers Doomsday!

Episode 420: To be Phranque...
June 3rd, 2026 | 57 mins 56 secs

God of War Returns, and Wolverine is set for September. But so is every other game apparently. So while we all wait for GTA VI, we can now also wait even longer for Fable. Steam may have been hiding in plain sight as a villain all along, we now look to Lord Gaben for guidance. Spider-Noir is more Groucho than Cagney, but it might work in its favor. And Call of Duty is bringing us to East Asia.
