Relatable Nerds

Episode 47 - Everything, Everywhere, All At...San Diego Comic Con 2022

This past weekend San Diego Comic Con took over everyone's social media and decided to nearly put us in cardiac arrest over all of the incredibly exciting Marvel news (and there were others obviously - but the MCU definitely came prepared)
Unfortunately your favorite podcasters were not able to attend (us...duh) BUT despite our extreme fomo and depression over not being there to cry live to the Wakanda Forever trailer with everyone at that panel - we still decided to dedicate an entire episode to what went down at the biggest comic convention all year.
Is Daredevil returning to the MCU sooner than we think? We have a new She-Hulk trailer that looks like a blast, a Fantastic Four official release date, as well as BLADE, SECRET WARS, AND SO MANY MORE.
The limit does not exist for nerd news, however our lives are getting pretty worn thin at this point. We only thought we had to make it to May of this year for Obi Wan but the odds are against us now.
Thanks for listening. 

EPISODE 46 - LIVE FROM FAN EXPO CHICAGO

This past weekend, we were lucky enough to record Episode 46 live at one of our favorite comic cons - Fan Expo!
Chicago, you did not disappoint us and we are SO grateful for everyone who came to our show, chatted with us after and have supported this podcast since the beginning. We couldn't do it without you!
We created a new segment for Thor Love and Thunder this episode, where we took our favorite reviews from multiple publications - and then reviewed their review! Thor has daddy issues and big golden retriever energy, while Gorr the God Butcher is Voldemort reincarnated! 
The nerd news was heavy this week too. We have a sequel coming to Game of Thrones, that will dive into our favorite bastard's life on the wall (poor guy) and we have more exciting news about Andor! 

Episode 45 - Poor Little Younglings

A moment of silence for all nerds the past two weeks -
(because of the onslaught of nerd news, shows, movies and everything in between)
Its a lot to balance to say the least. And if you're like us, you need at least 3 business days to process each week's Obi Wan episode. Our lives will never be the same after Episode 5 of the series, so naturally we deep dive into what is one of the greatest episodes of Star Wars media ever. Fight us.
Ms. Marvel also debuted on Disney+ last week and we're ready to see what the MCU keeps developing with the next wave of young avengers. Its a breath of fresh air, times are changing, summer is here - and we're still immensely grateful you're with us too.
Thanks for listening! 

Episode 44 - Porg Champs

Reporting Live From The Gutter...
Kyra is back from Star Wars celebration! ... And Ilsa is still weird. 
In this episode Ilsa and Kyra talk NEVER BEFORE SEEN Star Wars CELEBRATION FOOTAGE including brand new trailers for The Bad Batch Season 2, Mandalorian Season 3, and the new prequel series, Andor.
 Of course, this wouldn't be a Star Wars episode if we didn't do our own recap of the first THREE episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi. 
Lots of sprinklings of Drake and Dune talk throughout!
Enjoy!!
 

Episode 43 - Goldfish Besties

Its officially hot nerd girl summer in Chicago and the sun is out after 42 days of darkness in Chicago (we're not kidding, look it up)
This past week we got to FINALLY see Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Sam Raimi did not disappoint! We break down his horror influence over the movie, how epic Wanda was AND how America Chavez has stole our hearts completely. Some of our predictions also ended up coming true. *heavy spoiler alert*
We break down the Moon Knight season finale as well, which was nothing short of emotional. What an epic show. We already miss Stephen and Marc...and even Jake kind of.
Thank you so much for your support and tuning in to our podcast. Don't forget to check out our Youtube channel for trailer and tv show reactions and breakdowns.

Episode 42 - Goats and Hoes

What a week for nerds!
Happy day after Easter! Harry Styles has risen!
Young Dumbledore stole our hearts this week in the latest Fantastic Beasts movie, Morby was a bad boy and didn't live up to expectations and we got a brand new Thor: Love and Thunder trailer! Talk about a hell of a tease, we actually got a split second first look of Natalie Portman as Lady Thor. 
Are you watching Moon Knight? If not, we're judging you but also we got you. We recap up to this week's upcoming episode drop - and for only a 6 episode series, there is a lot going on. Marc Spector has our hearts

Episode 41 - The Nickleback of Hollywood

It's been a minute! Sorry for our brief hiatus, but we've been incredibly busy with work picking up and moving. Adulting really isn't fun...unless you're talking about Moon Knight to your pal, which is exactly what this episode entails. 
 
Hollywood was in shambles this past week. Superhero's are getting exposed, people are getting slapped - everyone probably just needs another quarantine so they can chill and take a break from people for a second. We totally get that karaoke bars are triggering for some (plz don't ever choose a country song) but that's what weed is for. Take several chill pills Ezra Miller. Violence is never the answer.
 
A new trailer for Dr Strange dropped this past week and we're just about a month away until we get into some more multiverse shenanigans. May is shaping up to be a great month. 

EPISODE 40 - Tom Cruise’s Hit List

February was a blur and we're already 10 days into March. 
Hibernation season is almost over and its time to take off the blankets and layers, and get the hell out of bed (just kidding...we'll always make time for DC tv shows)
We made it to Episode 40! 40 is a great number, the age of peak life and attractiveness and apparently the episode we get to THANK YOU x a million for helping us reach 1000+ subscribers on our Youtube channel this past week! We love you. Thanks for hanging out with us week after week and listening to our shenanigans. 
SO MUCH NERD NEWS. We were finally blessed with the Obi Wan trailer and it was absolutely breathtaking. We will never be over it.  Our much anticipated DC movies have been pushed back until 2023 (The Flash, Aquaman, Black Adam), Dune Part 2 casting news (Hello Yelena), and there's a panic in central park, I mean Kraven the Hunter, because our fav, Heroin Charlie from the tv show Girls has entered the nerd world. We are ready.
Cheers!

Episode 39 - You’ve Got Chain Mail!

A list of the reasons why we watch the Super Bowl: 
1) the trailers
the end. Oh, and Joe Burrow. Duh. And the unlimited amount of alcohol one can consume without being judged.  
But seriously you guys, we were not ready for all of the incredible trailers released! Dr. Strange In the Multiverse of Madness (holy shit), Jurassic Park (holy shittt), Moon Knight (oh my lanta) and many more. We recap them all for you. 
Arguably one of the best Star Wars episodes ever came out this past few weeks featuring our very own Luke Skywalker and THE BABY, our sweet little green goblin, Grogu. Not to mention our favorite cowboy, Cad MF Bane! The Book of Boba Fett finished strong and set the tone for the upcoming Star Wars shows we are counting down the days to. 
Also if you really wanna taste it - we end our episode with a recap of our favorite show, Peacemaker. James Gunn is truly a legend. Wig Wam is getting a whole lot of royalties right about now.

Episode 38 - Space Vampires

Between Peacemaker and The Book of Boba Fett (and a shit ton of other tv shows), we've had quite the exciting January. Its honestly perfect timing, since January is the only month out of the year where no one judges you if you sleep on your couch every night or become a hermit (we see you trying not to drink, New Years Resolution people) 
We obviously are not capable of giving up alcohol. We both have tried, but it is not our battle to fight. Maybe Boba or Marty Byrde can take over for us. However, we are exceptional at sleeping during the day and staying up all night. 
....and we kind of go back to our vampire roots with some fun (and very random) nerdy news. Why is it everyone we love has once played a vampire? Hmmmm....
