Just A Couple Of Nerds

Ep. 10 - The Last Of Us Favorite Episodes

Our episodes have now hit double digits!!! For our 10th episode we are talking about the HBO hit series 'The Last Of Us'. But first the news; the new animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies has a trailer out, we found another musical to talk about based on Lord of the Rings, there's a Madame Web movie coming, Marvel's What If is creating an original superhero, and Beetlejuice 2 has a new potential star. It's a little light on the news compared to the last couple of weeks but ah well, send us a message to let us know if you need more news. Our main topic today has been a favorite show of ours for a couple of months. The Last Of Us has become a hit for HBO and once it ended, we had to do an episode about it. We recorded this the day of the last episode's release, but there's been a lot going on in our lives and we had to put off editing the episode until now. But we go over our 3 favorite episodes, which are the same 3 episodes but we rank them a little differently. We also discuss the ending, so this is your warning... ***SPOILERS***. But if you're a regular listener than you already know that we don't hold back on spoilers.

Ep. 9 - Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Review

We recently watched Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and we have as many opinions as there are characters in that movie. So be prepared. As normal, SPOILER ALERT. We do talk about different characters and plot points in the movie that may or may not spoil it for you. Our news portion is a little larger than normal. We begin with news about Warner Bros. making some Lord of the Rings movies, there's a new Avenger's musical coming to Disneyland, Stranger Things has a play debuting in London's West End, we update you on DC and Marvel's upcoming summer comic series, Spirited Away the play is coming to theaters, Netflix has a cozy feeling Pokemon series coming out, Liam Hemsworth's newest lawsuit might reveal some news about his current Witcher role, and finally, Dune: Sisterhood may be ending before it even begins. Yea, like we said, it's a lot. We both came out of the Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania with similar but opposite opinions. Bottom-line, it's not great but it's not awful. Just spoiled the episode for you, but it was a fun talk and we try to touch on our favorite and not-so-favorite moments. So take a listen and enjoy!

Ep. 8 - The Legend of Vox Machina Discussion

We have been wanting to talk about this show for a while and if you've listened to our other episodes then you know we've already been mentioning it. But the second season is out, we binge watched it, and it's time to discuss! News this week consists of a new Harry Potter movie in the works, a delay in the Marvels movie, a Lord of the Rings collaboration with Magic the Gathering, Viz Media offering a ton of free content on Youtube, Ant-Man 3's ratings, Call of Duty coming to Nintendo, A24 auctioning props from Everything Everywhere All at Once, and finally, Netflix is going to be offering some new games for free with membership! Our big discussion this week is over Amazon Studio's own animated show, the Legend of Vox Machina. We briefly discuss the origin of the show but quickly just go all over the place. Much like the show's protagonists, we don't follow a straight path and let our conversation go on organically. FYI there are some ***SPOILERS*** but honestly, the show is so good that even if we told you the entire plot it would still be worth the watch.

Ep. 7 - 2023 Look Ahead

WE'RE BA-ACK! It's been a while since our last episode, but the holidays came along and we set the podcasting aside for a minute to spend time with family and friends. Now we're setting the family and friends aside to bring you another episode!  Holy Daily Bugle Batman... there's been a lot of news! To start off we got some comics in politics, then some Disney news, a new Lego set is coming, some bad news about one of the creators of Rick and Morty, the Neilson ratings, and a John Wick 4 update. After the shorter stories we have two big new updates. First we go over the latest 5 year lineup for Avatar the Last Airbender and Avatar Studios and then we move into the big James Gunn announcement regarding the future of the DCU. After all the news is done we gotta start the year off with everything we are looking forward to in 2023. Cherish and I break it down into categories and our favorite pick for each. We just want to thank everyone that's been listening to us starting this podcasting journey and giving us feedback. If you'd like to write us then do it at justacoupleofnerds@outlook.com.

Ep. 6 - 2022 Year End Favorites List

It's the last day of 2022! As we get ready to make our New Year's resolutions, half of which will inevitably be abandoned or forgotten, we figured it was a good enough time to look back at everything we watched and read this year. The news is a little light this episode, but it starts off with 2 bits about upcoming Avatar Studios projects (not the blue kitty people), then there's an animated Stranger Things show in the works, the Witcher creator makes some statements regarding the end of Henry Cavill's appearance, and it's all topped off with some comic news mixing DC comics and Stan Lee. After the news we go over the list of shows that ended, had endings announced, or that were just cancelled this year. Our main portion of the show is dedicated to our own favorites list for the year. The list is: Movie, Live-Action TV Show, Animated TV Show, Hero, Villain, Comic Book, and Special Shout Out. We hid our choices from one another, so we got a nice little surprise at hearing each other's picks. We just want to thank everyone that's been listening to us starting this podcasting journey and giving us feedback. If you'd like to write us then do it at justacoupleofnerds@outlook.com.
