This week we do a review of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindalwald (Spoilers!). We talk about the trailer for the upcoming movie Godzilla: King of the Monsters. We get into some video game discussion, both old and upcoming games, and the importance of good DLC. We round out the show with a listing of the top 10 DC Comics Supervillains of all time.

They discuss the upcoming Arrowverse Elseworlds crossover event.  They also geek out over the new Captain Marvel trailer. All this plus the usual alcohol induced random thoughts they deliver every week.

We welcome Russ back to the basement after his two week hiatus. We catch up on what he was up to, as well as his thoughts on the death of Stan Lee. We cover the asinine comments made by Bill Maher regarding Stan Lee passing and people’s reactions. We talk about how it looks like Disney is going to own the box office in 2019 with the huge number of big movies they have coming out next year. We wrap it up discussing a new D&D character class created by a company for marketing purposes, that could actually be, somewhat, playable.

We have some sad news for you. We recorded a fantastic episode (106) however, it appears that the memory card on our recorder failed near the end of the show and we may have lost the whole thing. We are currently working on recovering the data but at the moment things aren’t looking good. If it can be saved the episode will be out as soon as it’s recovered.

This week we bounce around and cover a bunch of nerd topics. We talk about the release of the Red Dead Redemption 2 video game. We discuss the upcoming DC animated film “Reign of the Supermen” and our thoughts based on the first trailer. We get into some discussion about the Arrowverse and John Wesley Ship’s return. We also talk a little bit out the new Netflix show “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” based on what we saw in the preview.

This is it. The BIG 1-0-0!! Triple digits! To celebrate this milestone we took the show on the road to Royal Oak Brewery, in Royal Oak, Michigan. We invited a couple of special guests, Royal Oak Brewery’s head brewer, Jeremy Altier, and Stone Clover front man, Pauly Brady to talk nerdy with us. This was such a great time, with a great group of people. Huge thank you to everyone!! We discussed movies, TV shows, and video games. Here’s to the next 100!! Slainte!!!

We get into the collapse of Telltale Games. As usual there are also side tracks and alcohol discussions.

This week we recorded live, in front of a patio audience, at Bottoms Up, a pub just down the road from the Michigan Renaissance Festival. This episode is a little different from others. You get several guests who have been long time performers at the Michigan Renaissance Festival telling some of their favorite stories and what it’s like to be a ren faire performer. We also talk some nerd news. HUGE thank yous to everyone that took the time to come on the show and talk to us, as well as all the fans.

It’s good to be able to laugh at your own mistakes, like doing the show for 20 minutes and then realizing that you didn’t actually hit record.  This week we are joined by special guest, and long time listener, Dr. Ed Rohn.  We discuss the Henry Cavill/Superman rumors.  We also talk about the now live DC Universe streaming service and some of the upcoming shows.  We touch on the new anime from the writer and director team of Avatar: The Last Airbender that just premiered on Netflix; The Dragon Prince.  And as nerds do when we get together and drink, we ramble through a bunch of other nerdy topics.

This week we say goodbye to the legendary actor, Burt Reynolds, who passed away this week.  We talk a little bit about some of our favorite movies from his extensive catalog.  We also discuss the new pictures that have been released for the upcoming Marvel movie, Captain Marvel.  We also talk about several nerd news stories such as the Dr Who premier date, Hasbro movies, and Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.
