Nerdy Show

04/01/16 • 67 min

When The Nerdy Show Network’s flagship podcast isn’t unloading on the latest geek news and happenings, we’re diving deep into the super-specific with listener-requested discussions and interviews. But then on rare occasions... something much more unusual happens...We're no strangers to strangeness. We've encountered real-life werewolves, experienced hauntings and close encounters; but admittedly it's been a while since we've tangled with the paranormal. Turns out the paranormal isn't done tangling with us. Our studio equipment is picking up signals from someplace... else. Fortunately we've got a spirit box to tune in, and what we found will shock you.Join Cap, Doug, boR, and Tony as we listen in on other realities and discover if our geeky programming is truly the finest in the multiverse. Learn dark truths on Greetings from Twilight Gulch, hear the most inoffensive words imaginable on Safe Words, stay vigilant in humanity's war with the Lizard Men on Scale Watchers, discover unique new foods on Quinowhaaaaa?, get sound advice from The No Fangs Radio Hour, and even listen in on a Nerdy Show from a much darker timeline.

Interview: Fatal Farm Returns to Lasagna Cat

Nerdy Show

03/07/17 • 68 min

Chances are good that at some point you've seen a video created by Fatal Farm. They're a duo of FX wizards who specialize in subversion and surrealism, and whose work is as hilarious as it is head-scratching. They've done sketches for Key & Peele, had a hand in two Adult Swim specials, are the brains behind the notorious penis-exploding scene in Our RoboCop Remake, and nearly 10 years ago, unleashed three incredible web series on an unsuspecting world, including their crown jewel: Lasagna Cat.

Lasagna Cat is a "tribute" to the works of Jim Davis - live action reenactments of Garfield strips put into a psychic blender. We've been revisiting these videos for years... and all of a sudden there's more of them... and a 1-800 number sex survey. Sound confusing? Never fear - all will be explained. Cap is joined by Fatal Farm (Zach Johnson and Jeffery Max) as they peel off the cat suit and expose the series' unmentionables. Learn why (and how) they collected 1000 people's sexual information, hear about the years of trials and tribulations that led to this glorious Garfield moment - and that's just for starters. They also share an alternate TV intro that never came to be, how their prank series Infinite Solutions prompted an emergency Microsoft meeting, muse on transposing pop culture and pop art, share pro tips for faking birth in a bathroom stall, and give us a taste of the creature features to come.

Episode 270 :: Mayonnaise Hole Fundamentals

Nerdy Show

08/24/16 • 103 min

The Nerdy Show Network’s flagship podcast unloads on the latest geek news and happenings!You can find a lot of life lessons in mayonnaise hole. Sometimes you lean in so close you'd swear you'd snap in two, and the dang mayonnaise just won't sheath the hole. But you keep leanin'! You lean until you sink that mayo - because you know nothing worth fighting for in this world is easy. And then there's trust. A good fisher ain't worth a damn without an anchor to back them up. Ah hell, I'm gettin' ahead of myself...Join Cap, boR, Nicky and Brandon for an odyssey into our peculiar nerd lives and the plethora of pop culture we've consumed. We share our thoughts on the pilot for a new live action adaptation of the comic book classic: The Tick. We weigh the experience vs. the controversy of the galaxy-wandering game, No Man's Sky. We give our two cents on Laika's latest stop motion feature, Kubo and the Two Strings. We pitch ad slogans for undergarments made out of spider webs, hunt for bat nipples, give Carrot Top a movie idea, and yes, Cap finally talks about Camp Fangamer 2016 - the strange adventures therein, and the birth of the 21st century's #1 sport: mayonnaise hole.For links and more info, head to the main episode page:http://nerdyshow.com/2016/08/nerdy-show-270-mayonnaise-hole-fundamentals

Nerdy Show Book Club :: Episode 13 :: Into the Pop Culture Garbage Hole

Nerdy Show

07/20/16 • 120 min

From the pages of Nerdy Show – it’s Nerdy Show Book Club! In these literary episodes, we share the books we’re currently reading, do dramatic readings from the best and worst nerd literature, talk with notable geek authors, and discuss a book we’ve read along with the community.When you consume a ton of media, it's inevitable that you'll come face-to-face with some tentacle-waving garbage monster of obscure pop culture. The question is: is it bad bad or good bad? Will you find surprising brilliance to unnecessary direct-to-video sequels of classic films? Can a blatant sampling of the best-known sci-fi media of the past 30 years provide a fresh perspective? Real monkey/ typewriter/ Shakespeare kinda stuff.Join Cap, Colin, Denika, and Brandon as they plummet into the recesses of the pop culture garbage hole: an inevitably frequent stopover for any nerd with a media addiction. Our Read-Along Book for this episode is Ready Player One author, Ernest Cline's Armada. Can this modern day retelling of The Last Starfighter (and many other nerd staples) stand aside his dazzling debut? We also dabble in dystopian fiction, discuss the metaphysics of simulation theory as told by a thought-form entity, and read from a young reader adaptation of Mortal Kombat: the movie.For links and more info, head to the main episode page:http://nerdyshow.com/2016/07/nerdy-show-book-club-episode-13-into-the-pop-culture-garbage-hole

Not only do we have to distill an entire year of achievements down to 20 items and a smattering of superlatives, but we've only got three minutes on the timer to describe them! The clock is literally ticking as all that was 2015 comes to an explosive end. Listen in as we relive and reveal everything that made the year great.For links and more info, head to the main episode page:http://nerdyshow.com/2015/12/nerdy-show-2015-final-boss-top-20-nerdy-things-of-the-year

Episode 179 :: Nerdy Show Heads to E3 2014

Nerdy Show

06/01/14 • 73 min

Adventures in video gaming awaits!Next week, Nerdy Show will be in Los Angeles to cover E3 – the biggest video game event of the year. But before we do that and unleash daily podcasts and videos chronicling our hands-on experiences with all new games, we thought it would be apropos to get the conversation started. And what better place to start than the rumor mill?Join Nerdy Show hosts Cap, Brandon, and Tony along with our Live Producer John La Valle and our Community Manager Trench as we speculate on this year’s big gaming reveals. Not many big-time next gen games have arrived yet and there’s plenty more on the horizon that we won’t officially know about until some fat-cat in a suit announces it at a press conference. We try our hands at peering behind the curtain, and while we’re at it we also throw in our 2 cents on the new generation of consoles and review Supergiant Games’ Transistor.Nerdy Show listener Barryeyi asked that we share our thoughts on the new consoles on the block, and now that they’ve turned 6 months old it seems like a good time to make some rulings on how we feel about the PS4 and the X-Bone (as we affectionately call the Xbox One). Opinions and rivalries are heated. Will Brandon and his PS4 out smart-mouth La Valle and his X-Bone? How does the hedonist, Trench who rocks both systems compare? Will Cap get a word in about the WiiU? E3 madness begins here!

Episode 176 :: State of the Empire – The Ponda Baba Conundrum

Nerdy Show

05/04/14 • 74 min

State of the Empire is Nerdy Show’s Star Wars speculation podcast where we “look for news in Alderaan places”.It’s a time of celebration throughout the galaxy. May the Fourth has brought jubilation to countless systems and the cast of Episode VII has finally been announced! But – there are still many secrets surrounding the burgeoning new film. Rumors of a mysterious cast member still to come, and the roles that the actors will be playing are yet to be revealed. Join Cap, Doug, and Matt as they hunt for clues as to who’s who and what this might hint about the plot of the forthcoming film.However, there’s much more afoot than the new film - the Expanded Universe has been decimated! The crew assesses what’s left of the known cannon and explore the ramifications of all known novelizations, comics, and games being taken out of play. We explore “The Ponda Baba Conundrum” – how with something as massive as Star Wars even the smallest phrasing can mean worlds of difference between what exists and what no longer does. We also predict what’s in store for the new TV series Star Wars: Rebels, how the books tie in, and how Anakin’s lost apprentice might return.

Episode 138 :: Microsode 2-Pack – James Bond & H.P. Lovecraft

Nerdy Show

05/19/13 • 76 min

It’s a Microsode mash-up!Microsodes are where YOU choose a topic and we talk about it for 15-30 minutes. This episode of Nerdy Show is two Microsodes stuck together: James Bond 007 and the Multiple Bond Theory and H.P. Lovecraft. What do these two topics have to do with each other? Nothing at face value – but the discussions are fascinating journeys into multimedia and some serious pop culture nerding.In our James Bond discussion (brought to you by Trench 88 & Max Acree) Cap, Matt, and Colin team-up to talk about the connectivity (or lack thereof) between Bond films and the theory that could have united them. We discuss falling out with Skyfall, the original 1967 Casino Royale, what the future may hold for the franchise, and much, much Moore.Next, Cap and Hex are joined by Doug, LaForge, Brings, Wall, and Poole of Ghostbusters: Resurrection because ViralDemon had a carnal lust for cosmic horror. We discuss the unknowable greatness that is 20th century author H.P. Lovecraft – the terrifying concepts he created, his works, and the myriad films, comics, games, etc. that have been inspired by him. Dare we find ourselves lost amidst vile mists in labyrinthine corridors of non-euclidean geometry where cruel wordless sounds, not uttered by man since long before the Dark Awakening of certain grotesque cephalopods, echoes endlessly from anthracite chasms long-forgotten? We do.

Episode 129 :: State of the Empire – The Deal Alters Further

Nerdy Show

03/24/13 • 95 min

It is a time of great speculation. Months after the announcement that there would be a new Star Wars film, there is still much that we do not know. That’s why we launched State of the Empire! Nerdy Show leaves no escape pod empty, no wampa un-stomped – we’re looking for news in Alderaan places, and a few of the right ones too.Star Wars’ new masters are shaking things up in the world of Lucasfilm, and there are some very sizable disturbances in the force. Does the cancellation of The Clone Wars, the postponement of Star Wars: Detours, and the alleged suspension of development at Lucasarts point to dark tidings, or a much-needed clean up of the various Star Wars enterprises? Join Cap, Hex, Doug, Matt, and Tony as we share our best guesses for what the rumored Star Wars spin-offs might hold, why it should be the “big four“, not the “big three”, and much more.All this AND Willow Watch! Willow has finally been released on Blu-Ray and Cap recently read the original novelization of the film. Between the newly revealed deleted scenes and Cap’s notes from the novel, we've got even more insight into just how big the world of Willow is and the version of the film that could have been.

Nerdy Show Interview: Marc With A C Gets Shock Treatment

Nerdy Show

07/25/17 • 56 min

Before there was "reality TV" there was Shock Treatment - a side-step sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show that confounded fans and slipped in under moviegoers' radars in 1981. No sweet transvestites here, just Brad and Janet trapped in a televised torture chamber that looks eerily like America in the 21st century. The film faded into obscurity, where it would've languished were it not for some die-hard fans, among them the lo-fi musician and familiar voice here on The Nerdy Show Network, Marc With A C.In this episode, Marc and Cap share everything you need to know about this hidden gem of b-movie musicals: the actor strike that led to massive changes in the plot, the fandom that re-discovered it, and the weird story of how Marc's just for fun covers of the songs turned into a beloved piece of the Shock Treatment legacy (now being pressed on vinyl to coincide with the Blu-ray release). We also have a Rocky Horror bombshell to drop as Marc's journey to license these songs shed some light on the long-rumored, often-denied follow-up film, Revenge of the Old Queen.For links and more info, head to the main episode page:https://nerdyshow.com/2017/07/nerdy-show-interview-marc-with-a-c-gets-shock-treatment
