The More You Nerd Podcast

Every so often a hero gets so popular that the multimillion dollar company that owns it decides to revoke the rights of anybody that's been making money off of it. And what do you do when that happens? Well if you're one of the Salkinds you pivot to another, younger, cooler, more hip with the kids version of that same character! And this time ... in Florida!

Look, up in the sky! It's a billboard, for a new Superman movie! And to celebrate, we're spending this summer talking all about the big blue Boy Scout, but we're not talking about his adventures on the silver screen, we're talking about all the different versions that appeared right in your very home! We're kicking off going all the way back to the 1950s and one of the very first superhero tv shows to appear. Do not adjust your TV set, this IS in black and white. But does it hold up? Listen and find out!

This year we have focused on the perception of what anime was thought of versus western animation in the early 90s, and hoo boy does this one have it all! This one has everything we've been warning you about!

It's the early 90s and fan-subbed anime is circling the country! You pop in a cassette and what do you see? Well there's a decent chance in 1991 that it was none other than this OVA series. But how does it hold up today? Listen and find out!

On this week's episode, the boys cover a show that's somewhat of a rarity in anime ... western high fantasy! Record of Lodoss War combines fantasy TTRPG characters with Japanese animation to create a whole new world.

Who needs a script when you've got storyboards?! Not this team, who put together a wild half parody, half slapstick, half alien invasion, third romantic comedy, with a quarter of NSFW content ...

For our final Trek-like experience we have to dive into a time portal to actually find a way to watch Paul Fieg's take on a sci-fi comedy adventure. With an all-star cast we take a trip into another dimension with a show that quite frankly deserved more time and space to grow.

For this week we take another look across the pond to see what the Brits can do with a comedy version of a space drama!

What do you get when you combine a Greek demigod and a tv pilot from the 1970s? A pretty fun first-run syndicated tv series! This week we cover a show brought from the past to the future in more ways than one ... but does it hold up? Listen and find out!

In the far flung past of the 1970s comes the far flung future of Moonbase Alpha as it is itself flung far away from the planet Earth! What crises, adventures, and space trauma awaits our crew? Listen and find out!

This month we're taking a look at shows that aren't Star Trek, but REMIND US of Star Trek, and the first is a show that asks the question ... What if Star Trek, but wet? We join Captain Nathan Bridger and his crew as they explore the mysteries and adventures found in the Earth's oceans.

It's the last spin on the Wheel of Indies, and it's sent us out to sea where we're checking out the Lovecraftian cozy horror hit Dredge!

This week we sit down and talk about one of the most Indie of Indie games as we join Mae returning to her small town where things have changed almost as much as they've stayed the same ...

Due to technical difficulties the Wheel of Indies will return next week, but until then listen as Drew enters a fugue state while talking about anime.

This week the boys are transported back to the mythical times of old ... the 1990s! They team up with a teen named Ali who's just trying to help out her mom by robbing everyone in sight!

This week we dive into not just a sequel, but a threequel, the third game in the Monster Prom series! But what happens when you take Beautiful Glitch's spin on a dating sim and turn it into a co-op game? Listen and find out!

We kick off our coverage of indie games the only way we can: randomly! So let's keep our feet on the ground as our character doesn't in the mountain climbing exploration game Jusant!

After travel and illness the boys kick back to talk about some of the random nerdy things going on.

What can Drew say about this movie that the internet hasn't already beaten to death? No idea, but because it's Trek he has to have his Piece of the Action (that's a reference!).

The Macross franchise is finally streaming in the United States! And of course Drew has chosen a specific piece to take an interest in!
