Sibling Nerdalry: Recent Episodes
Thomas Cunningham IV
Sibling Nerdalry tackles the pop culture landscape from the pointed perspective of two film fanatics with VERY DIFFERENT tastes. Season one deconstructs the Marvel Cinematic Universe... one film at a time.
The Siblings are back with Season 3... going back to our roots with lots of Marfel goodness as well as plenty of stuff on streaming platforms. Join Tom and Professor Toni for the ride.
So we're still here for Loki, but not as much as we were. This ep is an odd duck. Or perhaps an odd dagger. Tom is confused. Toni is meh. Take a listen!
The siblings discuss Loki episode two and ask questions such as: is Loki the plural of Loki? Whats up with Ravonna and that pen? Why is OshKosh important? And why is Tom Hiddleston so good?!
The siblings discuss the first episode of the new Disney + show and talk expectations for the series moving forward. Did this episode hold up to the first episodes of WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter Soldier?
Two versions of the classic tale of sexual repression and hypermelanated wereleopards. Catnip or kittly litter? You decide.
Deception, Transatlantic accents, Fay Wray screaming... and pre-code NIPPLES! It's a technicolor thrill ride through the Wax Museum!
The season of horror continues when Toni and Tom take a long look at "Peeping Tom," a British thriller that grew into a cult classic. Film theory, Hitchcock, and accents... OH MY!
Season 2 is HERE and the theme is HORROR! First up, is the Japanese mixed genre "classic," House. Join Tom and Toni as they delve into the psychedelic confusion of this kooky film.
Tom and Toni STAN over this instant holiday classic! The acting, the music, the dancing, the costumes! It's a holiday adventure filled with magic and great messages about family. Jangle Bells, Y'all!
WHOOOO, Nerdals! The penultimate film in this journey is finally here. Tom and Toni are joined by special guests in a podcast as big as the film it tackles. Watch the video live stream version on ou Facebook page... and BUCKLE UP!
It's a DOUBLE DIP Episode for the arguably most misplaced films in the MCU. Ant-Man and the Wasp and Captain Marvel. Plus SO. MUCH. NERD NEWS!!!! Happy Halloween everybody!
Toni and Tom tackle the last MCU movie before Infinity War. Evil Asgardian haberdashers, Thor's undeniable humor, super cool soundtrack, AND a dazzling visual colorscape are discussed.
Toni likes Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 a LOT better than its predecessor. Take a listen and maybe search for Looking Glass' hit song, Brandy (You're A Fine Girl).
Toni's affection for astral projection has her harmonizing on the wavelength of Doctor Strange. PLUS, a Nerd News Special Report on Vampires vs. The Bronx and Great British Bake-Off!
Tom and Toni talk about the cultural impact of the character, the cast, and the highest-grossing single character film in the MCU. It's Black Panther, y'all!
Boseman continues to amaze, Toni visits the Marvel Museum, and The Craft sequel is coming for Halloween (Toni is SUPER excited!)
Toni's FAVORITE MCU FILM to date! A discussion about Michael Keaton, AND Tom Holland saves Spidey's presence in the MCU. BUckle up, Nerdals... it's a BIGGIE!
Civil War draws battle lines and Toni is HERE for it (except for Steve arm-wrestling a helicopter). Also, a look back at Chadwick Boseman.
Toni laughs her way through Honey I Shrunk the Superhero and there are some major Nerd News revelations!
Is James Spader the most consistent cinematic mean guy EVER? That's a WHOLE lotta robots... and Toni finds out what happened to those crazy twins. Part 1 of our super-sized review STARTS NOW!
Tom misjudges Toni's appreciation for goofy humor and confuses Sean Gunn for Edgar Wright (it's a Sean/Shaun of the Day of the Dead thing). Anyhow... how many bad mixtapes will GotG earn? Listen and find out.
The second installment of the Captain America series has twists and turns and shocks and Chris Evans... a lot of Chris Evans doing Evansy stuff. Toni approves.
Toni is confused. Tom is bemused. Mjolnir gets mispronounced... a lot. Also, a fair amount of comic bookishness and Norse mythology. Have at THEE!
Tom is disappointed in the treatment of Iron Man's iconic villain, but Toni stans Shane Black's palette and cinematography habits. Either way, it's a packed episode!
Avengers is here! Tom and Toni tackle the tantalizing team-up! Hulkalo, Loki stanning, Coulson theories... Click for the super-sized episode!!!
CGI skinny Steve Rogers creeped Toni out, but Super Soldier Steve can get it. And that's not EVEN what makes The First Avenger Toni's highest-rated MCU film to date. Will that change???
Being mean to dogs is NO WAY to get on Toni's good side. Neither is lazy writing, questionable sound design, and fat-shaming. Also, Edward Norton is a bit much in person. Incredible Hulk? Not so much...
The Siblings trip the Bifrost to visit the Nine Realms with Chris Hemsworth's extensions in this third pulse-pounding episode of Sibling Nerdalry. This cast is an Oscar-palooza!!!
The Siblings are going out of order to talk about Iron Man 2 instead of The (Not So) Incredible Hulk. He's coming... but we're taking a detour to Tony Stark's second adventure. Buckle up so you don't get Whiplash... see what I did there?
In the debut episode, Super Fan Tom walks MCU neophyte Toni through the film that launched the MCU... Iron Man.
