Nerdy Show

The wildly-swinging hits keep on coming! How far will we veer off of our usual platter of geeky chatter? And for how long? Indefinitely?! Well at the very least we'll always stay true to what you've come to expect from us for the past decade: surreal tangents and strange comedy. In this episode - Cap, La Valle, and Doug team up for a creative experiment in which Cap plays a high-powered Hollywood executive type taking pitches from hapless writers.

Which of these absurd ideas will get green lit for production? Whose hopes and dreams will get eaten alive by the Hollywood monster? How far will these poor saps go to break a tie and "win" this pitch party?

When the Cap is away, the Doug and La Valle will play. Left to their own devices (without adult supervision), the duo discuss some of their favorite Nerdy Show pitches and come up with new ones. But things take a spooky turn when a discussion about favorite horror movies leads to an exploration of La Valle’s dark, supernatural past.

Join Cap on a solo mission as they give hints to the latest happenings at The Nerdy Show Network, muse on the Network's (and this show's) 10th year of podcasting, share the ups and downs of kitten fostering, and highlight two amazing comics you should read: Gillen and Hans's Die and Okorafor and Tana's LaGuardia. But all that's just a prelude to the main event!

In preparation for an upcoming collaborative art project, Cap dusts off some fan fiction they wrote with Local-Shop in which their favorite pretentious art ladies of the 90s meet: Judy Funnie (from Nickelodeon/ Disney's Doug) and Maude Lebowski (from The Big Lebowski). Indulge in Cap's all too thorough knowledge of Doug continuity as we explore Judy's undocumented time at Vole University and Maude's continued interest in work that's strongly vaginal. No, this isn't slashfic, but hopefully the artsy fartsy feminist storyry therein won't make you uncomfortable.

Vagina.

Join us for a panel with Chris Ryall (Locke & Key, Zombies Vs. Robots) and Jeremy Whitley (Vampirella) as we chew on chilling tales, crossing genres, and frights for all seasons.

This discussion comes to you live from NC Comicon, moderated by psychiatrist Matt Connor, and featuring our very own Cap Blackard alongside Chris and Jeremy. We discuss the differences in conveying scares in disparate mediums, our formative horror memories, favorite films, existential dread, and a dose of Cap's insights on bringing the scares in the audio drama medium with The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program.

We're on the road! And you might be too! Incept your commute by driving along with us driving and recapping our adventures at NC Comicon and beyond.

Cap, Tony, and Doug share their highlights from North Carolina Comicon, Bull City in Durham, NC - the Willow 30th anniversary event, the Lightning Dogs, the pals, the panels, and the wretchedly delightful late nights of bad movies. What's more, it's been a while since this particular trio has been the spotlight of a Nerdy Show episode, so we delve into our latest life happenings.

We discuss quality films of old to counteract the recap of terrible VHS feature Fugitive X: Innocent Target, share massive life changes, and peek behind the curtain of The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program series 2.

Enter a vortex of horror and existential crisis. We sink our fangs into Netflix's spoopier recent series, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and the second season of Castlevania. Hear us extol the nerd nuances that have Cap, boR, and Brandon drinking deeply from these series' black chalices. We also discuss the shocking return of Adult Swim's bastard child, 12 Oz Mouse, Star Trek: Lower Decks, a forthcoming animated series about the nobodies of the Federation fleet, and invite you to invest in our pitch for a haunted house experience like no other - one that distills the cold, unfeeling universe into one terrifying (and psychically crippling) walk-through.

Brandon has returned from his trip to Scotland. Did our resident renegade glean any culture while on his first trip overseas? We're not 100% sure, but he definitely left his mark: he pooped on a mountain! Well, more like a hill; but you have to understand, Floridian standards for elevated landmasses are a bit out of whack. Hear tales of enchanted gastrointestinal distress, fried pizza, castles, and, yes: birds.

We also discuss camping at Camp Crystal Lake (the video game kind) with Friday the 13th: The Game, MMO woes, the continuing saga of Adventure Time, and other flotsam from the ocean of nerdy pop culture.

Nerdy Show's global cultural exchange continues! Fresh from a trip to the Land of the Rising Sun, two of our hosts share chilling tales of how Universal Studios does Halloween Horror Nights in Japan. It's a drastically different experience guaranteed to make you liquefy with jealousy and set the horror hounds a-barkin'.

Our anorak tentacles have crept across the world: Spain, Hungary, Switzerland, soon Scotland... We're not sure why this is the year we've all blown about like dandelion fluff, but, for as long as that lasts our travelogues will keep on coming. John and Chrystal's Nihon nightmares (that's intentional nightmares - they had a great time) are but one component of this week's podcast adventure. Cap shares their entry into the Venture Bros. Carvel cake contest and discusses new horizons in taking back the web for the users, boR shares a spoiler-free exploration of The Good Place... there's lots crammed into this particular and peculiar podcast.

Engineered obsolescence: that's what the human body is. It kicks alotta ass and then gets slower, brittler, and much harder to drive. Surely us nerds of the 21st century must've found some way to brain ourselves out of this? Well... turns out we have! 

Join Cap, boR, Jon, and Tony as we test out the latest life-extension drugs, brainstorm the sci-fi benefits of custom-engineered organoids, and stay young at heart with rousing discussions on the new Spider-Man game, the animated series The Dragon Prince, and get excited about surprise television adaptations of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared and Alan Wake, as well as introduce Talking Heads frontman David Byrne to Rule 34?! Yeah - that's actually a thing that happens - hear a short clip from Cap's forthcoming interview with the legendary musician about his film True Stories, where we drop some carnal Internet knowledge.
