Episode 432: Clam Bake
August 26th, 2026 | 1 hr 15 mins
2k games, 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, god of war, gorilla grodd, green lanterns, gta, gta 6, gta vi, hal jordan, harry potter, hbo, hbo max, he-man, ikea, jimmy olsen, kit harrington, kratos, lanterns, masters of the universe, mcu, microsoft, movies, naruto, nba 2k27, nerd, netflix, obi-wan kenobi, physical media, razer, ridley scott, robin hood, rockstar games, sicario, star wars, superman, the witcher, the witcher 3, the witcher 4, tim curry, tony, tv, twitch, video games, wonderman, xbox
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 429: Small Potato Stuff
August 5th, 2026 | 1 hr 19 mins
70mm, activision, amd, barbie, black ops 1 & 2, blade, booster gold, call of duty, call of duty black ops, christopher nolan, clueless, dave bautista, dcu, disney, disney+, dnd, dungeons & dragons, ea, ea games, elden ring, final fantasy vii, from software, game of thrones, gaming, geek, george rr martin, god of war, gpu, henry cavill, imax, james may, jeremy clarkson, kratos, lucasfilm, mcu, midnight club, moana, movies, nerd, nvidia, oded fehr, paramount+, pif, playstation, pokemon, ps5, ram, richard hammond, rockstar games, samsung, sony, sony columbia pictures, sony interactive entertainment, sony pictures, spider-man, spider-man brand new day, squareenix, star wars, steam, steam machine, the grand tour, the mandalorian, the mummy, the odyssey, tiktok, tv, valve, video games, walt disney pictures, warhammer, warhammer40k, warnerbros, wonder man, world of warcraft, wow, x-men, xbox
Spider-Man swung back into theaters, and it did exactly what we knew it would. The question is though, was it good? The RAMageddon becomes the RAMpocalypse, as it comes for every component, and will continue forever. Black Ops 1 & 2 jump the sales charts, and EA goes private. Meanwhile we should have listened to Wesley when he said he was the only Blade.

One Battle After Another, is what I should rename this podcast, because the movie was that good, and a full review is inside. Plus Xbox takes another self imposed L, Sony gives itself a gold medal, and EA goes private. The Simpsons are headed back to the big screen, and an AI "actress" has Hollywood in a fervor. Plus Forza Horizon is finally headed to the land of the Rising Sun, and Ubisoft gives Assassin's Creed a new home.

While there are fun things to talk about, like the Muppets returning, Nintendo directs, the 90s Console wars, and the new Anaconda. There are also not fun things, like Nintendo and Pokémon behind paywalls, HBO and passwords, and The Long Walk. And at the end, a serious discussion about a topic I try to stay away from, but luckily, that's at the end. Enjoy

GTA VI took over the news across two weeks, and all with a delay and a new trailer. The Thunderbolts* have a new name, and I have a review. Plus Xbox pulls unexpected shenanigans, Ecco the Dolphin is returning, and Art Imitates life, well the other way around as the real Conclave begins. Plus Andor takes it to the next level, while still keeping it very Star Wars.

Will Tina Fey take over Saturday Night Live? I think Lorne Michaels hopes she does. Plus the Halo Battle Royale was almost real, despite 343 always saying they wouldn't make one. Plus the Emmys happened, and The Bear, Beef, and Succession all walked away as winners. That and more on this weeks Nick's Nerd News.

Are two of Hollywood's oldest studios about to merge? It might be a more plausible outcome then you think as Warner and Paramount have talks. A24 and Kojima make a match made in heaven, Insomniac is hacked, and we learn their future. PS5 continues Sony's dominance in the gaming space, and Bobby Kotick is finally leaving Activision. Several streaming shows are getting renewed for their final seasons, and Curb is ending. Pretty, Pretty, Pretty, not good. The MCU's second greatest villain may not actual be a thing anymore, and I watched Barbie. Plus my top 10 Christmas movies.

This week continues the not E3 news, like and overview of Overwatch 2, and news about the Final Fantasy VII Remake part 2. Activision investigates itself, and also cancels a guaranteed blockbuster. Is a Jon Snow spinoff really necessary at HBO? Because HBO thinks so. Obi-Wan Kenobi ends in a perfect way. Meanwhile Sony is continuing to push its Non Spidey, Spidey Films, Top Gun Maverick is TC's best preforming movie, and Buzz lightyear fails to draw a crowd.
