The Nerditorium: Recent Episodes
Maed in India
Remember those Indian kids who were made fun of in school for talking way too much about Xenomorphs, Kyber Crystals and web-shooters? Well, that generation finally grew up, and three of them now have a podcast…again.
Filled with (bad) hot takes, epic or fails, one nice/one bad, and more unnecessary ways of categorizing pop culture, join Jishnu, Dinkar and Tejas in The Nerditorium, as they make their way through the multiverse one franchise at a time.
In this Nerditorium episode, Tejas, Jishnu, and Dinkar tackle Marvel’s new Fantastic Four — from its bold direction to its wobbly third act. They unpack character vibes, MCU comparisons, and the courage to get weird with superheroes. Then it’s over to James Gunn’s Superman for talk of Kryptonian heritage, quirky humor, and cape-wearing geopolitics. Big laughs, bigger opinions, and a nerdy peek at where superhero cinema flies next.
Jishnu, Dinkar and Tejas pick 3 of their favourite releases from 2024 to round up the year.
The boys are back to review all the latest happenings in pop culture including Coldplay ticket fiascos, the grammatical reason for the Clooney-Pitt Apple TV Film Wolfs, the best sci-fi movie blockbuster of the year Alien: Romulus, the wonderful world of WWE, and a few underwhelming TV Series from the motherland and abroad.
The boys are back to talk about the big reveals in the MCU, why they had issues with Deadpool 3 and discuss The Acolyte (now cancelled). All that plus a return to Dinkar's Games!
The boys are back to discuss all the movie and tv goodness from May and June including Furiosa, Godzilla Minus One, Hit Man, Inside Out 2 and featuring the Richard Linklater filmography game and the ultimate Pixar Movie Tier List. Plus more Jishnu's games!
The boys are back this month to discuss all the news in pop culture from May, including Lord of The Rings, Planet of the Apes, Studio Ghibli and much more. Plus! Jishnu actually has good games this time round.
Welcome to the first ever episode of The Geek Fruit Show! The boys try to discuss pop culture and take a stab at giving you the state of the union for it, but end up digressing into more important things like whether they can be eligible for knighthood by the end of the episode. Also Dinkar's Games™️ and a new draft show called J̶i̶s̶h̶n̶u̶ M̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ L̶i̶k̶e̶ Jishnu's Best Bets!
