Nerdy News Special #18: Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, Joker 2, Midnight Sun and More!

What if the Joker traded his maniacal laugh for a musical number? Join us for a lively discussion with our special guests, Talos Gundam, and Sebby Phantom, as we explore the bold choice in "Joker 2: Folie à Deux" and its mixed reception. Our conversation doesn't shy away from the surprising success of "Beetlejuice 2," despite the grim backdrop of hurricane interruptions, and we dive into the cinematic crossroad of video game adaptations with skepticism over the upcoming "Minecraft" and "The Sims" movies. Plus, we can't help but express our excitement for the next chapter in Batman's saga and the potential of a "Planet of the Grapes" sequel.
The tantalizing world of TV shows and anime also gets its share of the spotlight. We cover everything from the latest rumors of a live-action Voltron starring Henry Cavill to the nostalgic waves of excitement around updates for "Arcane" and "Devil May Cry." The whisper of a Twilight spin-off has us chuckling over our love-hate relationship with sparkly vampires, while insights into "X-Men 97" and the challenges of satirizing presidential elections add depth to our TV time travel. We're particularly thrilled about anime adaptations like "Solo Leveling," and we fondly critique the shows that shaped our fandoms.
Our gaming and music segment doesn't hold back, either. With the overwhelming release of "Dragon Ball Sparking Zero" and the fervor for "Ghost of Yotei," we're all about the latest in gaming. On the music stage, we eagerly discuss new vocalists and album drops from industry heavyweights like Glorilla and J. Cole, while touching on rumors swirling around artists like Ice Spice. Whether you're a fan of gaming, TV, movies, or music, this episode promises a spirited and comprehensive exploration of all things nerdy and noteworthy.
