Relatable Nerds

EPISODE 16 - The Dirt On Kamino

The first week of May is always one of the busiest weeks of the year for nerds, specifically Star Wars nerds. And we went pretty hard for 48 hours straight in honor of May the Fourth and Revenge of the Fifth. Three words - Tatooine Blue Milk (yes we made it, and added extra gin to it)
The Bad Batch dropped two episodes in honor of this sacred week and they did not disappoint. Many tears were cried. Old friends were seen. And we are yet again at the mercy of Disney. They completely own us and we couldn't deny it if we tried. 
Also Invincible. Our lives have been changed forever. This show absolutely moved us to the point of no return. We can't wait for seasons two and three!! Mark Grayson would definitely be a Bernie fan. 
 

EPISODE 15 - MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU

Yeah, we're big Star Wars fans on this podcast and honestly....we've been holding back.
Mostly because Disney has been pumping out Marvel shows every week for the past six months, and we ain't mad we've been entirely focused on that, but ladies and gentleman, the time has come - The Bad Batch is premiering tomorrow on the most shared day of the year, May the 4th.
We dive right into what The Bad Batch is going to entail, our predictions and what potential characters will have a cameo in this inaugural season. 
To stay right on theme with the stars, we discuss Ilsa's trip to the astrologist and how she was told to shove certain crystals up where the sun don't shine.
Please listen to "We Can't Stop" by Miley Cyrus to get in the right mood for this episode. 

Episode 14 -F*ck it, Let's Run for Governor

A moment of silence for yet another season finale of a more than epic Marvel show - Falcon and the Winter Soldier (or shall I say Captain America and the Winter Soldier)
Goddamn it feels better than usual to be a nerd right now. All of our favorite stories are getting handed to us on a silver platter, that even the Kardashians could afford. And Caitlyn, the correct answer is you should *NOT* run for governor because you need more attention. I promise you literally no one cares.  As the great "Nori's Black Book" says, wasn't being on a cereal box enough for you? Ugh, the nerve.
The Mortal Kombat movie no one asked for is finally here (Sub Zero reminds us of a Chicago winter just happening in the middle of April - its 60 degrees and next thing you know its snowing out of nowhere) Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is also starting to drop trailers, Loki will be here in a matter of days - there's just a lot to look forward to this summer and we can't wait to talk shit about it all.
 

Episode 13 - Special Guest Case and A Couch!

There's a new Captain America in town (and no its not John Walker) 
She's a female. She's a Latina. And she probably won't smash your face with her shield, unless you tell her you didn't vote for Bernie. 
So let's get down to business - we still have many feelings about Thanos and his notorious *blip* Do you think this thicc purple boy had legitimate reasons to kill half the population while snapping his fingers with Lil Jon or is that still so not fetch? 
Joining us this week, hailing from Milwaukee (HELLO WISCONSIN), we have Case and A Couch, who also have many feels and opinions about Thanos! 
What an episode. If you haven't noticed, we love debating Marvel. And it's only just begun...

EPISODE 12 - Special Guest Sam Ruby!

Ilsa, Kyra, and Samy discuss such things as the nostalgic early 2000s midnight movie premieres, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Gojira VS Kong, and so much more. 

Episode 11 : Stalkers, Lurkers and Loki - OH MY!

Ilsa and Kyra are super proud to have come from both Mexican and Puerto Rican cultures, especially because they truly have raised some high functioning train wreck legends.
We really just wish they would've given us a lesson on how to get a stage 5 clinger out of your apartment the next morning when they just won't leave. When they don't take "I have to go pull the weeds" as a sign for them to get the hell out, just proceed to bill them via your normal daily Air b n b rate.
Our favorite mischievous villain is back at it again this week (no, not boo boo the fool) LOKI, with a brand new trailer for his own Marvel show coming out in June. We literally cannot wait to see Owen Wilson's nose get in the way of watching the actual show. 
*BIG Star Wars NEWS* that literally made Kyra cry all week - the cast of the Obi Wan Kenobi show has been officially released and we are beyond excited. Will there be a 10 year old Luke Skywalker roaming around on Tatooine? We already know Star Wars can CGI the hell out of any character. We can't wait to see what happens.
 

Episode 10 - So Many Hot Guys With Metal Arms

Season 2 continues with ya girls starting off the pod by discussing getting into the feet pics business!
Nitro makes an uncanny appearance on this week's episode and 1/2 of Relatable is finally vaccinated! Listen to find out who! Let's gooo!!!
This week was pretty calm in the world of news, but that didn't stop the Relatable girls from going on tangents about Natalie Portman, the Zack Snyder Justice League cut, and of course we discuss The Falcon and The Winter Soldier! 
Oh and don't forget to check your cereal before you eat it, you never know what cinnamon-covered seafood tails may be lurking in there. Also, Fuck Thanos, Fuck Trump, and Fuck Thomas Jefferson.
Stay till the end for an update on Poe

SEASON 2 PREMIERE - LIVE WITH THE CHUMPCAST

Guess whose back back back
back again gain gain
Relatable's back back back
tell a friend that The Bachelor is whack ack ack
.....Okay so we can't rap. We never claimed we could BUT we do claim & have solid evidence to prove that many people wasted countless hours of their lives choosing to watch The Bachelor Monday nights instead of hanging with us on Spotify! 
Its okay. We forgive you. And we have a gift for you as well - 
The Chumpcast is in the house, coming to you *LIVE* from our new partner and network, The Lincoln Lodge in Chicago!
Guys, this episode is downright silly. We expose Ilsa for loving Deadpool so much that she even joined his phone company. That he named after an herb (and no its not weed) ((its mint)) 
xoxo
 

EPISODE 8 - *SEASON FINALE*

How the hell have we been doing this for 8 WEEKS?!
It flew by. We are forever grateful for your support, and we are also grateful Lady Gaga's beloved dogs were found. Welcome back Gustav and Koji (what incredible names btw)
This week was pretty standard for Americans; we didn't get a stimulus check, a new episode of Wanda Vision shocked us all even more and our president bombed another country - all things that are sadly ordinary for the United States.  Why do we live here again?
OH because Spiderman lives here. Duh. And we finally got a new name for the next movie!! We've been doing our Tobey Maguire chants everyday, hoping to manifest our favorite Spidey's comeback.
 
But for real y'all, thank you so much for being here. Especially if you're still reading this. We are so incredibly grateful and this podcast is quite literally our lives. We've learned a lot throughout this inaugural season & we can't wait to return for season two with more guests, livestreams and even more banter !! 

EPISODE 7 - CRUZIN' FOR A BRUZIN'

It seems the plot thickens in America, as Texas is now the new set location for The Day After Tomorrow Part 2 (Jake Gyllenhaal will not be returning to the franchise) .......and Ted Cruz decided to jetset to Cancun while thousands were left without electric and heat. 
I still can't believe no one has busted him for being the zodiac killer. Come on all of you true crime podcasts, do your job.
In this episode, we discuss probably some of the best trailers we've seen for movies since...well Dune. Duh. Go read Dune.
We got Justice League, Mortal Kombat and Cruella just to name a few...
it wouldn't be our podcast if we didn't mention Captain America's ass right?
xoxo
