The Nerdy Venoms Podcast

This week we look back fondly and not so fondly on the output of 20th Century Fox as it prepares for its historic acquisition by the Walt Disney Company (90 minutes away at the time of recording). We also discuss genre animals because Jon watched Love, Death, & Robots and was annoyed by cats. All this and the Eyewitness News on this week's exercise in embarrassment we call the Nerdy Venoms!
THIS WEEK'S THEME SONG: Dropkick Murphys -- "Shipping Off to Boston" (Woody Guthrie/A. Barr, K. Casey, M. Kelly, J. Lynch, M. Orrell)

This week: Jon is disappointed. We make it more disappointing by talking about women as sex objects in video games before playing the house of horrors that is "What Do You Meme?" Other topics include the all-but official demise of Adult Swim's Toonami block due to corporate consolidation and its status as a dead brand and a review of some 90s art house flick that Dalek didn't see. Plus the news on this week's barrel of disappointment that is The Nerdy Venoms Podcast!
THIS WEEK'S THEME MUSIC: Return to Forever -- "Captain Marvel" (C. Correa)

March is Women's History Month and we here at The Nerdy Venoms felt it was a good idea to invite J.C. Lau and Indigo Boock back on the show along with newcomer Tanya DePass from OrcaCon and Rivals of Waterdeep to discuss the trials and tribulations of women in both video game development and video game playing. Its a full 90 minutes of conversation (no news, no reviews) on this week's Nerdy Venoms Podcast!
THIS WEEK'S THEME MUSIC: Cyndi Lauper -- "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" (R. Hazard)

Green Book Won.
 
 
Yeah just let it sink in. The Nerdy Venoms attempt to as they discuss whether Hollywood really has learned anything after Last Sunday's exercise in Five Steps Back. Also St. Clinton reviews Fighting With My Family and the news on this week's Himalayan Pink edition of The Nerdy Venoms Podcast!
Oh BTW...did you know that Crash is only the 8th worst reviewed movie to win Best Picture? Its true! Out of Africa and Forrest Gump got even worse reviews! 

SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: We all agree this episode sucks. Its a low energy affair from us and nobody knows why. Listen at your own risk. Topics include Geek Hookups, Mental Health of Actors, and adaptations that would have been better in other context. Reviews include an inaudible Blerdwords on Happy Death Day 2U, The Umbrella Academy, Dragon Prince Season 2, and Battle Angle/Ganmu/Whatever. Yeaaah I got nothing. 
THIS WEEK'S THEME MUSIC: John Colby -- "SportsCenter '94 (outro)"

This week we have a fascinating, insightful, and downright hilarious interview with David Crownson. author of the comic series "Harriet Tubman, Demon Slayer". Also reviews of the utter failure that was Lego Movie 2 and What Women Want, plus the news on this week's Nerdy Venoms Podcast! 
THIS WEEK'S THEME MUSIC: Dillon Francis featuring T-Pain & That Girl Lay Lay -- "Catchy Song" (J. Lajoie/D. Francis/J.Rushent)

Well...THAT was a Super Bowl...oh god. Lets talk about commericials instead!....oh wait they weren't that great either...uhhhhhh....MEDIA SATURATION! Are there too many comic book shows on the tube these days? The Nerdy Venoms pose the question and more including reviews of Hanna, Russian Doll, and Miss Bala (yes Blerdwerds actually paid to see it). This and the Action News on this week's slightly less than a Bataan Death March unlike the Super Bowl edition of The Nerdy Venoms!
THIS WEEK'S THEME MUSIC -- MGM Studio Orchestra and Chorus: "Meet Me in St. Louis" (K. Mills/A.B. Sterling) 

This week its a laid back episode where we talk to Ashlee Blackwell of Graveyard Shift Sisters and Horror Noire about her opinions about modern day horror films and her new project for Shudder. Meanwhile, now that Kingdom Hearts III has materialized, we take a look at some of the more egregious examples of vaporware in video games, movies, and comics.

On top of that there's Oscar discussion and brief run through of our OCD collecting habits. All that and the Nerdy News on this, the first Nerdy Venoms of 2019 where something DIDN'T go wrong with the recording. Praise be to R. Kelly!
THIS WEEK'S THEME MUSIC: Idina Menzel -- "Let it Go" (K. Anderson-Lopez/R. Lopez)
