Jittery Monkey Podcasting Network » Nerds United: Recent Episodes
Jittery Monkey
This is Nerds United, the show hosted by a guy who likes a good beer or two while talking about some of his favorite characters and some really talented people. Make sure you leave a review after you subscribe.
Nerds United’s first episode was released on June 10, 2013. It featured Van Jensen and told his story from small-town Nebraska the Green Lantern Corps title for DC Comics. Check it out here: https://jitterymonkey.com/nu1/
The show has had several iterations and featured so many talented people. But at some point, the conversation shifted. It took five years for the show to get to its 100th episode. Mike had his first appearance in May of 2018 in episode 95 to discuss Avengers: Infinity War.
Mike would stay on, under the moniker of “Co-Host of the Year.” And with a reliable co-host, the content would amplify. If it took five years to get to the 100-episode milestone, it would take only six more years for the other 300.
But the time has come to say goodbye.
On this final episode, we will get current on any recent comic book acquisitions, and strongly urge you to support your local brick and mortar comic book shop.
We will get caught up on anything we’ve seen recently. And let’s face it – there’s so much to see.
We will share memories. We will laugh. We will drink.
We will say goodbye.
Until then, and after this episode, always remember to Be Kind.

Did the guys get in any nerdy content over the holidays or were they inundated with Christmas classics?

Then on Friday, Warner Bros., via DC and the MAX streaming app, gave us (and Mike too) the first two episodes of Creature Commandoes.
We celebrate Mike, and discuss some of our favorite Greg and Mike moments, like Mike’s first appearance on the show.
And Mike chose tonight’s pick ’em, so we are doing comic book covers.

This week, it’s more nostalgia as the second volume of the last season of Cobra Kai was released last week. Mike will tell us what he thought about it, as as usual Greg hasn’t seen it yet.
Mike has trivia for Greg and Greg doesn’t know what to expect.
And while last week we covered 1980s cartoons, this week we jettison into the 1990s. What are some of your favorite cartoons from the 90s? Do you think they’ll make the list?

Deadpool & Wolverine hit Disney+ this week. Did you give it a rewatch?
And what’s been going on in your life?
But the emphasis on this week’s show will be nostalgia. Cartoons from the 1980s. How does that work? They had to air at some point in the 80s. We’ll spend a fair amount of time on that arena.
As always…be kind.

This week on the show, we’re talking about any acquisitions or anything we’ve read in the past week. We’ll give an Agatha All Along update.
Old Man Logan was a beloved out-of-canon comic arc that told a great futuristic story. Now Marvel is giving another character the grizzled veteran treatment.
Harold and the Purple Crayon reportedly got turned down to be picked up by a notable streaming service. But it’s headed to a streaming service near you anyway.
The Spider Noir project is filming and I’ll be honest, I’m giddy with excitement after some of the behind-the-scenes stills.
And since it’s the show before Halloween, we’ll talk about some favorite costumes.
As always…be kind.

This week on Nerds United, the guys are back in the seats after a week off. So Greg is delighted to hear about Mike going to a concert last week.
In the week away, the news really piled up. It is official that Max’s DC show Lanterns has cast its Hal Jordan and its John Stewart. Two characters. Four first names. What a time to be alive.
Also making casting news is DC alum Henry Cavill joining the Voltron project for Prime MGM Studios. This project is getting more and more interesting.
Marvel is working on a video game that takes place within the MCU. It could be anything! It could be nothing at all related to the films. The possibilities are endless.
And in news that both breaks our hearts and doesn’t shock us at all, Joker 2 (too lazy to get the subheading right) was a gigantic flop. I mean…beached whale flop. What were you thinking, Todd Phillips? Joker 2 will be available to stream before the end of the month.
As always, be kind.
See you next time!

This week on Nerds United, the guys will discuss the upcoming slate of video game adaptations to the big and small screen alike. How will these projects fair? Will they soar like Sonic or Super Mario Bros? Or will their outcome be more like Borderlands or Assassin’s Creed?
Also, in a much anticipated discussion, the guys will be blindly given random titles and will have to create a post-credits scene they would have liked to see for the movie.
We hope you’ll join us live tonight at 9pm Central for a fun discussion that will also include Agatha All Along and the backburner shows like House of Dragons and Rings of Power.
As always…be kind.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike discuss some news and notes of the week, largely revolving around DC casting reports.
While it appears the MAX series Green Lanterns has found its Hal Jordan, late week reports indicate the decision for John Stewart is down to two actors.
And the great Alan Tudyk will appear in the Superman movie when it flies into theaters in 2025. Or will he? While reports are that the actor was cast in the movie, filming has wrapped, leading one expert on this show to believe that Tudyk’s casting will be more of a voice role.
And the Dark Knight has received another honor, being the first comic book character to have a spot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And how exactly does a fictional character celebrate this illustrious honor? We’ll discuss.
And the headlining segment of the show is a Greg v Mike draft where the guys select various big-screen heroes and leave it to the viewers/listeners to vote on who as the better squad.
As always…be kind.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike discuss the newest Transformers movie to his theaters, as Greg took his oldest to the movies on Saturday to catch Transformers One.
Meanwhile, Disney+ dropped the first two episodes of Agatha All Along this weekend. Mike watched at least one of those episodes and will fill us in on what it is all about.
When Starz cancelled Heels after two seasons, the show entered a stage of limbo. While a third season remains uncertain, Netflix did acquire the two available seasons and those are now available for streaming on the service. Greg is into the second season and is not only enjoying the various individuals who make up the show but the show itself is really stand out.
So somehow we will parlay these topics into about a 45-0 minute episode as usual.
As always…be kind.

Greg and Mike are back after a week off as Greg went up to Nebraska for a football game last weekend. Hear all about his trip, see the sights, hear the sounds.
But back in Nerd World, Greg made it to a comic shop this weekend. What did he get? What is he dropping? And what are we going to do about Absolute Batman?
The final trailer for Venom: The Last Dance dropped this week. Does it tease a Spider-Man moment? What sort of coup would Sony have had to pull to orchestrate that?
Todd McFarlane and Image Comics welcomed David Dastmalchian into the comic book club as the Marvel and DC actor has a project out later this month called Knights vs Samurai.
And Greg’s feeling a little nostalgic for some ridiculous toys that he had as a child, you know, the types you can only overpay for on eBay. So there’s touch of retro tonight in lieu of our pick ’em conversation.
But we can’t wait to see you, or for you to find us.
Be kind.

What a way to beat the heat than having two people you only know through the internet talking about ice cream. Mind you, not even eating ice cream, just talking about ice cream.
Also, Ted Lasso may be be coming back for a fourth season, but likely without one of the key players. Everyone wants a Scrubs return, but Zach Braff explains the obstacles in the way.
Robert Kirkman has an update on the live-action Invincible movie and there’s a trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
All that plus ice cream sundaes, because that’s why we’ll never be skinny.

Now…don’t let the title deceive you. We aren’t hosting a movie marathon tonight. We’re simply discussing the slew of movies that were watched in the last week or two. Admittedly, some of them were watched prior to last week’s show but were forgotten when the show began.Movies that released in the last week to movies thirty years old…And while we’re at it, how about discussion on some movies that are in the works?Also on the docket – The Acolyte will not be receiving a second season, per Disney/Lucasfilm. That doesn’t surprise most of us, but as you can imagine, there’s already an effort put forth to “Save the Acolyte.”Lastly tonight we’re talking pizza. Because it’s Friday and that’s the most popular day for pizza in the United States. In fact, Greg’s family ordered pizza tonight! We’ll be building our own pizzas with a random assortment of ingredients.The post Nerds United 379: Pizza Party and Movie Madness appeared first on Jittery Monkey Podcasting Network » Nerds United.
There’s quite a bit to talk about this week on Nerds United.If you happen to be living under a rock, you may not know that Disney Corp. held its own version of Hall H with its annual D23 Fan Expo last weekend. Fans and doubters alike were treated to updates and trailers for a wide-ranging set of projects from Agatha All Along to live-action versions of favorites like Snow White and Lilo and Stitch, Moana 2, Incredibles 3, and honestly, so much more.We also received a new trailer for Kraven the Hunter and our continued belief that Sony is holding Spider-Man villains hostage.And because we are gluttons for punishment, we are going to talk about more food. This week, our inner Cookie Monster comes out as we are talking about cookies (“biscuits” if you’re in England).The post Nerds United 378: The D23 Dump (No Pun Intended) and Cookies appeared first on Jittery Monkey Podcasting Network » Nerds United.
This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike will do what podcasters everywhere have been doing for two weeks…continue to ride the Deadpool and Wolverine coattails.
There is a growing fervor for some of those cameo characters to receive full blown movies. Could we see Blade or Gambit again, and do we even want to?
DC Studios is busy, with projects that are already available (Batman: The Caped Crusader on Prime Video), are coming soon (The Penguin on Max), and are deeply rumored to maybe be possible down the road (freakin’ Deadman)!
DC Comics is also reinventing some of their biggest characters, as core members of the Justice League will get the Absolute treatment. But while it looked like it may be a reboot of the universe, it now appears that it will be more along the lines of multiverse exploration.
Lastly, with a slew of DC and Marvel projects coming down the pipe, Mike had the great idea of drafting movies and TV shows to see who would put together the better lineup.
Enjoy, and as always, be kind.

This week on Nerds United, we will continue to discuss some of the aftermath of the 2024 San Diego Comic Con, as the biggest bombshell happened about 24 hours after our last show.
Robert Downey Jr is coming back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will return as Doctor Doom (or at least one version, I’m sorry – variant) of such, and the Russo Brothers are back as well.
Giancarlo Esposito will play the King of the Serpent Society in Captain America: Brave New World.

Also – with Greg on vacation last week, it’s time to get caught up on The Acolyte, The Boys, and other shows or movies we watched in the time off. Furthermore, maybe there are a few extra things that got watched in the interim.
And that brings us to the big man in red…Deadpool. Deadpool and Wolverine hit theaters this week to what has to have been a rock solid start to the box office.
And as long as there’s time, we’ll look at some yummy side dishes.

For the first time in history, adults are the prime consumers of toys. Why? Are we regressing? Are we refusing to grow up? And at a time with high inflation and the economy in the crapper, who can afford toys?
Lastly, we’ll spend some time talking about movies that have to do with summer or vacations.

In the last week, did the guys acquire any new comic books? Did they watch anything of note?
Deadpool & Wolverine tickets went on sale this week. One of the guys got tickets. The other one is Greg. Also, a giant of a man has joined the cast for the third season of Reacher. He’s literally called the Dutch Giant. Reacher’s going to have his hands full.
And Zachary Levy is starring in an imagination-filled move that hits theaters this August. It’s the second movie emphasizing the imagination to be in theaters this summer.
And we had to call an audible on our retro video games portion of the evening and will briefly discuss 90s bands instead.

Mike and Greg are back after a couple weeks off. That means they have a lot of catching up to do.

We got our first glimpse of the new Superman. We have trailers for the second seasons of House of the Dragon and Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. And He-Man is finally coming back to the silver screen in 2026.
And we’ll cap the show with a conversation about candy bars.

Well, unless you want to scratch your head at Greg being a dumbass, go ahead and jump to about the 13-minute mark.
This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike will once again attempt to determine which wrestlers to “save” in our ongoing series. What started with movies from the 1980s has carried us through the decades in both film, television, breakfast cereals, and now professional wrestlers.
Also, if you’re unaware, there’s a little movie coming out this summer called Deadpool & Wolverine. Marvel and Ryan Reynolds dropped a new trailer this week that shows a lot of familiar faces and gives us a glimpse into the movie, including our best look yet at Wolverine in action.

What have the guys been watching or reading? Get the latest in capes, cowls, and more from two guys who enjoy sharing their love of all things nerdy.
And last but not least, the most unfortunate timing for a headlining topic as the duo discusses which fast food restaurants to save. Why is today possibly the worst day for this category to pop up in the ongoing series? Because Greg went to the doctor…and the results are just so-so.

On the docket this week is the casting news of the Silver Surfer for the MCU’s Fantastic Four movie. Let’s just say…people got mad. Also, the Hanna Barbera character Space Ghost will be introduced to a new generation of potential fans, this time via a comic book that looks pretty stinking good.

Kristen Stewart says she will NEVER act in a Marvel movie UNLESS that movie is directed by one director in particular.
Netflix has a new series coming out which appears to center around Greek mythological gods in a modern setting. It stars Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, so it has that going for it.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire are both in theaters, so we’ll break down box office performance as well as fan reviews.
We all know that after Batman and Robin was poorly received and because of that, it was eight years until we saw the Caped Crusader on the big screen again. But there was a slew of unmade Batman movies that were pitched or in some form of development in the down time.
Finally, the guys continue their series of “Five Stay Alive,” this time with breakfast cereals. We can’t wait to see which ones you choose.

Let’s just say it now and get the heat out of the way…the 1990s was rich in movies. It was the dawn of the independent movie and still had plenty of big budget blockbusters. This week, Greg and Mike continue the series of giving each other movies which the other has to “save” their favorites.
Also, The Crow remake, Venom 3, and the X-Men ’97 showrunner parting ways with Disney+ less than two weeks before the series debuts.

Mike did Greg dirty. The options Greg was given were largely horrible movies (with a few exceptions). Greg tried to find different titles and improve the overall quality of the movies provided.
That’s not all the guys talked about. Greg cleaned out some space to organize his comic books and here’s what he pulled out of a bedroom closet:
Whilst cleaning and organizing, Greg did find a coveted comic book. He looked in every box until he found…
A couple trailers were dropped recently for a movie and a series that are based on wildly popular video games.
First – Borderlands:
Second – Fallout:
The guys talked a little bit about Aquaman 2 after watching it on Max finally. You know what that means..
Next week: DUNE! (Not Dune 2, no one has time for that.)
Also next week, since we’ve picked Marvel movies, DC movies, and 80s movies, we’re going to choose 5 movies from the 90s to preserve.
As always…
Be kind.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike discuss the Marvel movies and like the 80’s movies a week ago, select a pre-determined number to “save.” That is, all others go away, which ones do you keep?
Mike makes it very difficult on Greg. Greg makes it significantly easier on Mike.
Also, rumors about a Plastic Man movie are intriguing, not that it’s the first tertiary DC character we would think to migrate to the big screen. And do you agree that for Star Wars fans to come together, the movies will need to leave the Skywalker name behind them?
Be kind.

On Nerds United this week, Mike and Greg are excited to recap the week of expected and unexpected trailer releases.
We talked last week about how we anticipated some sort of trailer for the Deadpool movie during the Super Bowl, and did Ryan Reynolds deliver. We also received a trailer for X-Men ’97 which hits Disney+ in a month.
Trailers also dropped this week for a couple of ape-based movies. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
Greg finally watched The Marvels and had some thoughts.
And two guys born in the 1980s discuss some movies from that decade.
As always…be kind.

On this episode of Nerds United, Mike and Greg have a good time making superhero team-ups of Marvel and DC characters. From Deadpool to a demon, Captain America to Zatanna, see what pairings the guys made from blind lists.
Also, all signs indicate that James Gunn has his Supergirl. The guys discuss the likely premiere of a Deadpool trailer on the Super Bowl telecast. Greg got some comics and the gents discussed the merits of the Dungeons and Dragons movie while talking about the graphic novel series Die.
We’ll see you next time, and as always…

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike talk a little bit about comics and movies and mostly about shows they have been enjoying, like the second season of Reacher on Prime Video.
The post Nerds United 356: Reacher & Other Shows appeared first on Jittery Monkey Podcasting Network » Nerds United.
This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg discuss the Marvel Cinematic Universe shows that have premiered on Disney+. From WandaVision to Echo, excluding the Groot series and the one-episode specials (sorry Werewolf and GotG), ranking the eight shows from Phase 4 and the four from Phase 5 from 1-10 and building an aggregate score from there.
Also, Greg finished Krampus and really enjoyed it (research needs to be done to see if there will be more to the story) and the guys shared the movies and shows that they watched.
Reacher wrapped up its second season this week. That’s some quality programming right there. And Greg is going to start cutting loose some of his streaming apps.
Lastly, it’s winter. In our area, we’ve had a week where the high temperature has barely touched the freezing mark and a lot of wind chills in the negative range. So we spend a few minutes blind-ranking winter activities. Mike thinks this may lead to a new post on tiktok…and it might. Who knows?
As always…be kind.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike look forward to several works hitting the public arenas in 2024.
- Masters of the Universe: Revolution
- Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
- Arcane Season 2
And it was announced that some of our favorite Star Wars properties are coming back both on Disney+ and the big screen.
Enjoy the show and as always…

This week on Nerds United, the Greg and Mike finish off the year by doing some more reading, as both guys are enjoying various stages of DC’s Knights of Steel.
Christmas tales were shared, and Brayden was missed (his recent appearance practically doubled the viewership/listenership). Beers were enjoyed, and the guys talked about the year that was and all the things they didn’t get the chance to see.
Then some time was spent talking up 2024 and all that it has to offer. Long story short, we have varying degrees of excitement for the comic book projects headed to screens in the next year.
We hope your 2024 is happy and healthy and as always…
Be kind.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike are joined by a special guest (we’ll call him the “Guest Host of the Year”), Mike’s nephew Brayden.
Brayden told Uncle Mike that all he wanted for Christmas was to do a guest shot on the podcast. Greg told him to aim higher.
With no comic book consumption to speak of, the guys dove into some fun Christmas topics. First we hear Greg and Mike’s Top 5 Christmas songs. Then, all three are put to the test with blind ranking Christmas movies. That’s where the cover photo comes from. And trust us…the episode is necessary to understand the image.
Merry Christmas, and as always…

Who did we miss?

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike discuss the regular chit chat and discuss some comic book acquisitions. There’s even an fun story about buckling up some comics to keep them safe on the road (check out the YouTube video for that).
Teaser trailer for The Boys season 4 as well as a rippin’ trailer for the next Godzilla/Kong movie. And will pop culture media outlets ever stop posting on-set spoilers? Ryan Reynolds wishes they would.
Now since Mike has seen The Marvels, and since some Screen Rant or other outlet published an article claiming there are ten Marvel projects worse than The Marvels, Greg puts Mike to the test, runs down the list, and asks Mike if he agrees with the author’s assessment.
Lastly, the guys share their Top Five non-MCU Marvel Movie Moments. Movies like The Hulk, the Fantastic Four (and Fant4stic), the X-Men franchises, etc. Which scenes make the cut?
As always…
Be kind.
The post Nerds United 350: The Best (and Worst) of Marvel appeared first on Jittery Monkey Podcasting Network » Nerds United.
This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg get together for what they think is a short episode (SPOILER: It’s still almost an hour) and while they don’t have a formal “main topic,” they do spend some time on some news and notes.
For example…does Tom Holland need creative control of the next Spider-Man movie? Or would the studio re-cast him if they have a script that he doesn’t like?
The stars of Supernatural tease a possible future for the longest running sci-fi/fantasy series in the history of American television. That’s mostly unfortunate, really, as the show went on about nine years too long as it was.
There’s a really solid trailer for the Furiosa movie.
Greg finally read DC’s Dark Knights of Steel Vol. 1 (with volume 2 available later this month). It’s really good and it should be in Mike’s hands later this week.
Get some updates on what’s going on in the guys’ lives. For example, the night we recorded, Greg took his family to the world famous St. Louis Zoo for their Wild Lights event. And Mike finally has a safe vehicle to drive to and from the gym.
As always…be kind.

Happy Thanksgiving!
This week on Nerds United, the guys continue the years-long tradition of Turkey Before Turkey.
There was some moderate comic book acquisition in the short week, as Greg shares his pick-ups. And while Greg was getting comics, Mike was at the theater watching The Marvels, so the Co-Host of the Year talks about that movie a bit.
With Blue Beetle’s arrival on MAX, both guys had the chance to watch it, and they gave their thoughts.
We’re thankful for you, and we remind you to be kind.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike admit that neither of them did a ton of reading in the past week. But the guys have plenty to discuss.
Greg finished Under the Dome and while the premise was really interesting at the outset, he found the ending to be a bit lacking.
But Loki’s season finale definitely delivered.
Also, some trailers out there, like the Madam Web movie we forgot about, and the second season of What If. Basically, if you want Marvel done right, leave it to Marvel.
Mike poses an interesting question. If you’re sitting down with someone who hasn’t seen a Marvel movie, but the notion of 30+ movies and tv shows is a bit daunting, where do you start, and what is essential? So the guys break down their essential movies of Marvel’s Phases 1, 2, and 3.
As always…be kind.
The post Nerds United 347: MCU’s Essential Viewing (Phases 1-3) appeared first on Jittery Monkey Podcasting Network » Nerds United.
This week on Nerds Untied, Mike and Greg discuss the season finale of Gen V and the timeline for its end and season four of The Boys. Greg is behind on Loki Season Two but hopes to get caught up in the next few days.
Greg is watching Under the Dome, a show from a decade ago, and was surprised to find in its third season that the culprit is aliens. I mean, aliens?
via GIPHY
The guys were surprised this week, as maybe we all were, by a Ghostbusters trailer. Did you see it? It’s pretty rad.
And it doesn’t appear that either of the guys will go see The Marvels in theaters. But movies at home, like Blue Beetle next week on Max, are definitely a possibility.
As always…be kind.
The post Nerds United 346: We CAN Read, We Just Didn’t This Week appeared first on Jittery Monkey Podcasting Network » Nerds United.
This week on the show, Mike and Greg share their top must-see movies from each of the last few decades, back to the 1980s.
Before that part of the show, the guys discuss some comics they have been reading. Gen V wrapped up its first season and at the same time, Invincible Season 2 started on Prime Video as well.
Plus, the guys enjoyed the trailer for Marvel’s Echo and Greg got a little clarification on Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
And do the guys dip their toe into the Snow White controversy?
Well, just a little bit.
Enjoy, and be kind.

So let’s just get into it. In the course of the discussion, the guys talk about the second season of The Santa Clauses, coming to Disney+ this holiday season. Greg mistakenly said Kumail Nanjiani was in the first season before Mike corrected him, stating it was in fact Kal Penn.
Mike continued to state that the confusion happens so frequently that the stars have addressed it publicly.
Before that part of the show, the guys talk about some of the comics they’ve been reading and the shows they’ve been watching or, in Greg’s case, discovered for the first time.
We’re poised, it would seem, to get some live-action Gargoyles in the future on Disney+.
The end of the show has the guys blind-ranking Halloween candy, which as it turns out, is just candy with a few seasonal additions.
Be kind.

This episode, at least the first ten or fifteen minutes, is dedicated to birds. All the years I’ve known Mike, and I had no idea he was an amateur ornithologist.
After that, we get into some recent comic book acquisitions and books we’ve been reading. Mike is pretty excited for Greg to get his hands on Gideon Falls, a Jeff Lemire graphic novel.
Meanwhile, Greg picked up some DC Knight Terrors tie-ins and hopes to get them read in a timely manner. And Greg binged Beckham in one day this past week. Check out the trailer. If you were alive and cognizant of pop culture in the late 1990s, there’s no way you were able to avoid the David Beckham/Posh Spice mania.
New episodes of Loki and Gen V, but the conversation shifted to horror and Halloween, as Mike determined that most horror movies don’t take place at Halloween, and asked “which movies take place at Halloween.”
The show is wrapped up with blind rankings of Halloween costumes, which we will try to share in short-form video on some of our platforms.
Be kind.

This week on the show, Mike and Greg share their experience of going to the college football game Friday night between the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Illinois Fighting Illini. It was Mike’s first ever college football game, and he’s now a Husker convert.
After telling the tales of Friday night, both Mike and Greg discuss their comic book acquisitions and shows we’ve been watching.
Ahsoka finished up this past week, as did Only Murders in the Building. Meanwhile, Gen V is off to a bloody start on Prime Video.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike are joined by another longtime voice from the Jittery Monkey Podcast Network.
Kevin Hunsperger, the host of My 1-2-3 Cents, sits in to discuss the Netflix docuseries WRESTLERS. If you’re not aware, WRESTLERS is a seven-episode series on Netflix that focuses on Ohio Valley Wrestling, both the names and faces in the ring and in the office.
And as an added bonus, the guys give Kevin a blind rank of wrestling finish maneuvers.
As always, be kind.

This time around on the ol Nerds United podcast, Mike and Greg discuss recent comic book acquisitions and what they’ve read. Gargoyles, Booster Gold, Man Thing, Astro City, Dark Knights of Steel, Once and Future, We Live, and a couple of characters, maybe you’ve heard of them, Batman and the Joker.
Then the duo discussed the Percy Jackson and the Olympians reboot heading to Disney+ later this year. Is that a show you’re excited to see? Let us know in the comments.
Then the guys went on to blind rank some stuff. First they did blind rankings of X-Men movies. Now for this, it wasn’t just movies with X-Men in the title, but any movie with an X-Man in it (and one that was tangentially included).
And then a couple of guys who like food blind rank breakfast noms.
…as a 41 year old man, it feels weird typing out “noms.”
Be kind.

This week on Nerds United, the guys face the stunning realization that Greg is out of shape. Mike is a stud who goes to the gym but also likes food. Greg likes food and doesn’t go to the gym. You see the problem.
So the guys talk a little bit about vegetables. Honestly, I think they talk more about vegetables than either of them actually eat vegetables.
So what books did the guys have the chance to read this week? And what shows have they been enjoying?
Is the ongoing Hollywood strike to blame for our lack of content? We think so.
And speaking of Hollywood, WB finally gave us a trailer for Aquaman 2. It feels like a great continuation to a movie that made over a billion dollars at the global box office…but will anyone care?

It’s time for a new episode, a new issue, as it were. It’s Wednesday, recognized as New Comic Book Day in most parts of the world. So why not spend this episode talking about a new comic book from an old friend.
Jason Copland is back on the show. You may remember him from Episode 83 where he talked about Kill All Monsters. But this time around, we’re talking about the project that Jason spent the last five years of his life building. He took a chance, bet on himself, and created Full Tilt.
In this episode, we’ll discuss Full Tilt, from its inception to its story. It’s a mob noir set in the 23rd century, and while it will have familiar elements, Jason says this story is really about loyalty and love.
Check out the episode, and be sure to check out the crowd-funding campaign.

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg provide a thorough review of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 since Greg was able to view it this past week.
Since last week’s recording, Greg made it to Free Comic Book Day and shares his haul with Mike. Also, we have a mini-celebration for Jim Lee’s promotion at DC Comics.
Enjoy, and as always, Be Kind.

This week’s show focuses largely on the Writers Guild strike, where something like 11,000 writers have put their pencils down in hopes of restructuring their compensation in regards to streaming content as well as making sure studios don’t utilize artificial intelligence for writing shows and movies.
But the strike has halted some shows, like Blade and interrupted shooting on other believed Marvel projects. However some are moving forward as scheduled, including Deadpool 3, LOTR: The Rings of Power, and Thunderbolts.
Meanwhile, there are rumors to who would play Reed Richards and Sue Storm in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie. And the guys take a shot at who should play Silver Surfer if that character is in the movie.
Mike also saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and gave a few thoughts on it that are completely spoiler-free. Seriously.
As always, be kind.

And a whole lot in between.
This week, the guys reconvene after Greg was out of town last week. Hear about that hilarious tale of misfortune and woe. Greg hasn’t been able to read too much this past week, but Mike has two books going.
Meanwhile, the guys enjoyed various shows and movies, from Mike watching an Academy Award-winning film to Greg sitting through Ryan Reynold’s not least-favorite movie.
Also, Ted Lasso had one of its best episodes of the season this past week, Greg is watching Star Wars Rebels and has finally got to the point where they’ve brought in Admiral Thrawn. Mike was about five episodes in to season two of Sweet Tooth and the guys are pretty pumped for The Flash.
Enjoy and Be Kind.

We had some severe weather in the area Saturday evening and it wreaked havoc on Greg’s laptop, so we got started a little later than we had hoped.
What that means for you is that we pared the episode down a little bit and brought you only the essential news. That is, of course, after updates on what we read and watched this week.
Hear about what Star Wars is doing, as well as Deadpool 3, Harry Potter, and The Big Bang Theory. And we briefly discuss the trailer for Marvels.

This week on Nerds United:
Well, it was a week movie and series trailers. The guys will talk about (in no particular order because I can’t remember the order in which we discussed them):
- Ahsoka
- Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
- Secret Invasion
- Blue Beetle
- Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
- Barbie
Also, more Star Wars is headed our way. Greg took a trip to the movie theater with 40% of the rest of his family. Both guys got some comics and read some comics.
And next week…Josh Brolin!
Well, we’ll discuss Josh Brolin’s recent interview comments about Jonah Hex. He didn’t enjoy the experience, but Greg dug the movie.

The guys read some comics and had a lot of good things to say. Hear about Suicide Squad, The Vision, and some X-Men.
Meanwhile, there have been some good shows on that the guys have enjoyed and they try to share that information with you.
It was storming the night the duo recorded, but the plan is to get together for a show in the not-too-distant future.
In the meantime, be kind.

This week on Nerds United, the guys will cap a show discussing the new Bedrock series announced starring Elizabeth Banks and Stephen Root. It will follow a 20-something Pebbles and Bam Bam.
So Mike asked “what continuation if a classic cartoon would you like it see” and then absolutely nails some pitches (take note, Hollywood).
The guys also talk about Lord of the Rings, Ben Affleck, Sweet Tooth, and NEW COMICS!

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike discuss some comics they’ve acquired and read (or in Greg’s case, re-read) as of late. The conversation meanders a bit as we discuss some home improvement and family topics.
With a new Hellboy in the works, the gents discuss Mike Mignola’s creation, past, present, and future. And Disney put out a few trailers for upcoming movies that are of low to moderate interest to us but probably higher interest to others.
And Greg poses a theory about casting characters in movies and how the fans react. It’s topical since a new Indiana Jones movie is in the can but Harrison Ford can’t play the character forever (we’re surprised he’s still playing the character now).
We hope you enjoy the show, and if you do, take a minute to rate and review it on your favorite podcast app. And we’d really like it if you share it with other nerds.
And as always…be kind.

Also discussed, some quality television in a variety of streaming services, shows that are new and shows that have a few years (Shrinking on Apple TV+ the former and Superstore on Hulu the latter).
And lastly, Greg took advantage of an open Friday afternoon and went to see Ant-Man and Wasp: Quantumania, so there are SPOILERS!
We hope you enjoy this show and if you do, please tell other people about us.

Also, the guys talk about the Super Bowl, which admittedly is off-brand for this show but it did give us a few new trailers for upcoming movies. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Flash.
Mike gives us an update on the latest offering from O’Fallon Brewing Company, a chocolate covered pretzel ale that is right on the money.

This week’s show is hampered by the fact that Greg is sick and at times feels like he is near death (probably over dramatic). So we are in and out in less than 30 minutes.
Topics this week include:
- Ant-Man and Wasp Quantumania
- Giving up on certain comic books
- Strays and History of the World Part II
- The Flash

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike get caught up on each other’s week’s and spend the first chunk of the episode talking about Colden Brewery, coming soon officially to Southern Illinois.
When we finally get into pop culture talk, we talk about shows getting new or more life on streaming services (That 90s Show, King of the Hill, Futurama).
And we received word from James Gunn and DC about the first wave of DCU projects coming to screens big and small alike. Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters.
Should be good. Should be interwoven.
Better be properly planned out.

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg discuss That 90s Show. Spoiler alert: It feels geared to a younger audience than its predecessor.
Titans and DOOM Patrol are done after their current seasons and there’s a new Shazam! trailer.
Also, Mike got three new tires, Greg needs a new wheel (knee), and the guys watched cartoons from the 1990s.

Well, we thank you for the terrific numbers last week. We’re confident it wasn’t a glitch. 1,100+. May be a new Jittery Monkey record (although Kevin did recently have RVD on episode 420).
This week on the show, Mike and Greg talk about some new streaming season announcements, like Ted Lasso, Cobra Kai, and Invincible. And the guys also share their differing opinions about the Letterkenny-verse after the announcement that Shoresy is getting a second season in 2023.
Another announcement was the third season of Mandalorian, which brought on another Star Wars discussion. And Mike made another bold statement in regards to how he views the franchise.
In an attempt to see if last week’s numbers are a technical glitch, we ask you to reach out to us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter (@nerdsunitedshow) or send us an email to nerdsunitedpodcast@gmail.com.
We thank you and as always, be kind.

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg recap their week’s reading and viewing. For Mike, that means going back and watching (re-watching, maybe, we hope?) THE trilogy…the OG…the original Star Wars trilogy. And following that act, he got into the sequel trilogy.
Oh boy…HOT TAKES!
Now Mike is challenging you to review the Star Wars movies through a critical lens and not one that is based on nostalgia.
Okay, we also talk about the continued state of DC Studios, the #6SeasonsandaMovie that Community is headed towards, the alleged Captain Planet movie, the upcoming second and final season of Carnival Row, and the new Quantumania trailer.
We’re very interested in your Star Wars hot takes!

There’s a lot of news lately about DC Studios (my very own shorthand for Warner Brothers-Discovery’s DCU). We all know that James Gunn and Peter Safran are now in charge of the movie/television division. But some of the news and notes that came out are pretty astounding.
- Duane Johnson
- Ezra Miller
- Wonder Woman
- 2023 movies
Also, what did the guys read in the week? And how is Greg’s squats challenge going?
Lastly, there was a tragic accident last week involving Jeremy Renner and a snow plow.
All the details, and all the opinions, in the episode!
Be kind.

The final episode of the year includes a ranking of the movies and special events we got in 2022. And we encourage you to rank them as well in the comments.
The guys made another trip to Twilight Comics (Swansea, IL) and got some good books to discuss. There was also a little bit of news, like the planned Green Lantern show on HBO Max not necessarily being shelved, as well as what a Chadwick Boseman Black Panther sequel might have looked like.
Lastly, the guys end the year by ranking the 2023 movie offerings as to which ones they are most excited to see, Immediate dissension as the guys are out of the gates on different wavelengths.
Enjoy the show. Share it with others. Resolve to tell a few people about Nerds United in the new year. Be safe, and
Be kind.

This week on Nerds United, we start with discussion about how cold it is in the area. It topped out at a frigid 5 degrees yesterday. The Midwest was hit by a Sub-Zero blast.
Also, we happened to record on Greg’s oldest son’s seventh birthday. So the guys take a trip down memory lane to seven years back and the day the child was born.
Eventually, the guys get on with some comics they’ve been reading, including the Saga of Swamp Thing, Locke & Key, Weapon H, and Grim.

Also, there’s some news out of DC about James Gunn’s plans going forward, and we discuss what is true, partially true, and what’s not true.

This week on an all-new Nerds United, Mike and Greg brinfly revisit last week’s conversation about forgotten cartoons in the form of Mutant League.
While reading from The League of Regrettable Superheroes, Mike selects Nelvana of the Northern Lights. While discussing her origin, powers, and recent popularity. Could Nelvana be ripe for a big-screen debut? Greg thinks so.
A few news and notes about movie dates being pushed back, and then the guys break into a conversation about comic book vehicles.

This week on the show, Mike and Greg discuss workouts while staying at home. They include comic books. Also, Greg’s back is more messed up than was initially indicated.
This week we’re talking about some forgotten cartoons of our youth. Everyone talks about Batman TAS, X-Men, Gargoyles, He-Man, TMNT. But what about the unsung heroes of your childhood? Popeye, Denver the Last Dinosaur, and more.
We also talk about some recent sitcoms, one that Mike has been talking about to Greg for awhile. And [SPOILER ALERT] I’m watching it right now!

This week on a new Nerds United, Mike and Greg (still separated by miles, but together in spirit) discuss watching Bloodshot, a movie that opened in theaters two weekends ago, from the comfort of their respective couches. And seriously, watch Bloodshot.
Also on the agenda: Batman V Superman – Dawn of Justice. Someone hadn’t seen it before, and after watching portions of the movie over three days, said person still hasn’t “seen” it. Alas…what’s a husband to do?
Keeping on with the B’s…Bee-Man, a 1966 character from Harvey Comics. Also:
- Locke and Key
- Witcher
- Marvel Shows on Disney+
- Middlewest from Image Comics
Speaking of comics – support your local comic book store. They need you now more than ever! Find your store on social media. Find out if they are shipping books to your home (assuming they’re closed like ours). Make sure when doors reopen that you show them just as much love as movie theaters, concert venues, dine-in restaurants, and sporting events. They live to provide you with great books. Find them. I beg you.

Well the only thing not shut down beside’s Greg’s “essential” job is this podcast (and the other great podcasts on the Jittery Monkey Podcast Network).
But there is a change. Mike is calling in on this episode, not in Studio B. And it’s really weird.
This episode features talk about what is going on in the world right now, ya know, the Big C.
But there’s also talk about Fantomah – The Blazing Skull Mystery Woman of the Jungle Who Was There Before Wonder Woman. Also, rumors about Wonder Woman 84 being sent straight to VOD were debunked (Greg missed the memo), Rosario Dawson IS Ahsoka Tano in The Mandalorian, 2,000 American’s favorite superheroes and super villains, and Bloodshot will be available digitally this week. So buy it. You’ll thank me.
And we thank you for tuning in and being awesome. Because where would we be without you? I’ll tell you where…sitting right here bringing you a new episode, just with one fewer listener. And we can’t have that. So tell your friends. And wash your hands.

This was the episode that was not meant to be. Presently, the Co-Host of the Year is out of town. But before he left, we got together for an hour and knocked out a podcast. It was early in the week, amid all of the continued madness that is Covid-19.
On this special surprise episode, we talk about Allison Brie (or someone like Allison Brie) that Marvel is looking for to play She-Hulk. That goes into a long discussion about the Hulks we’ve had thus far on the big screen.
Avengers Campus is set to open this summer, assuming we’re allowed to leave our homes ever again.
There’s more, but I’m trying to watch Blade Runner and this is taking away from that. I’m no good at multi-tasking.

This week on the show, Greg and Mike are talking about Disney’s live-action remakes, which ones are coming up and if we’re excited for them.

Heeeeey we’re back. After taking a couple weeks off to get healthy (damn germs), we are off and running!

Well it’s time for a brand new episode of your favorite podcast (at least, if we are, leave a rating and review on your favorite podcast app).
Mike and Greg talk about Lady Satan, the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, Captain Marvel, and Mortal Kombat (whoa, I almost spelled that with a “C,” like some sort of noob).
We also have some great discussions based on your questions. And if you’d like to ask a question, just hit us up on Facebook, Twitter, or nerdsunitedpodcast@gmail.com
Enjoy. Be kind. Rewind.

In this special mid-week episode of Nerds United, we bring back Travis Yates. We hear a bit more about Travis’ bona fides in the realm of media and journalism and get a brief update on what’s going on over on Popology 101 on the Positive Cynicism Podcast Network (the #PCPN, if you will).
This discussion largely centers on nostalgia and the continued reboots/remakes of beloved IP’s of our youth. Greg calls it “nostalgia mining,” ie – the best parts of our youth sold off to the highest bidder. Travis thinks that it’s actually not the worst thing in the world, and how a little blast from the past can be a good thing.
Of course, there’s a brief review of the “Nostalgia” drug in the Watchmen series, hence why we get this classic artwork. Nostalgia and the theft of our youth. Are you for it or against it?

Welcome to the first episode of a new year. And no, it won’t be a 14-hour episode. We’ve decided that IF we do a marathon recording, it will only be thirteen hours and five minutes…give or take.
But who has that type of time?
Oh yeah, our friends at ABCD-Bagz.
Anyway, since it’s been a few weeks since our last episode, we’re getting caught up on some geeky trailers that have dropped since the ball in Times Square. Bloodshot, Morbius, Harley Quinn, Black Widow, and more news and notes.
