The Nerdy Venoms Podcast

Tomorrow may be Halloween, but the Nerdy Venoms are all trick and no treat as they play the frightening new game Wheel of Embarrassment! Meanwhile, Leesa Dean comes by again to discuss her new fumetti-style motion comic "Nah Bitch Not Today". Plus reviews of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Castlevania Season 2 and the Action News on this week's thoughtful and moving edition of The Nerdy Venoms! 
THIS WEEK'S THEME SONG: Public Enemy -- "Fight The Power" (C. Ridenhour/E. Stadler/H. Boxley/R.A. Duay/K. Boxley)
INSERT MUSIC: Dropkick Murphys -- "Tessie" (J. Horrigan/Dropkick Murphys); Merv Griffin and Mort Lindsay  -- "Changing Keys" (M. Griffin)

Guess what! Hollywood's out of being out of ideas! We've seen remakes. We've seen reboots. Now...its time for requels! Sequels that only acknowledge one or more movies in an existing continuity and go on from there. Last weekend's smash hit Halloween (II) showed that a franchise could live again if you got rid of most of the awful chaff sequels that had gummed it up. The Nerdy Venoms talk about this and other possible franchises that could benefit from the requel approach. Plus: a discussion of whether or not Disney's gone to the Dark Side, a look at this fall's anime season, reviews of Halloween and the new season of Daredevil, and the news on this immediately retconned episode of The Nerdy Venoms!
THIS WEEK'S THEME MUSIC -- John Carpenter with Alan Howarth:"Haloween II Theme" (Carpenter/Howarth)

THIS LIST SUCKS. KILL IT WITH FIRE. That's Lord Dalek's lasting impression as he runs roughshod through Paste Magazine's new Top 50 Anime Series of All Time list on a VERY special red line crossing Dalek Exterminates. We all discuss what could have been on that list had people who knew what they were doing been in charge, plus a discussion about why AMC's FreakFest sucks...which is really more about how AMC sucks. All this plus reviews of the new Netflix series "The Haunting of Hill House" and "The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell", "Titans" on DC Universe, and the Nerdy News on this week's vocal chord shredding episode of the Nerdy Venoms!
THIS WEEK'S THEME MUSIC: Childish Gambino -- "Redbone" (D. Glover/L. Göransson/W.E. Collins/G. Clinton/G. Cooper)
Technical Note: Youtube went down for the entire planet about 15 minutes after we started recording, rending our sound player useless. As a result, some bits that did not come accross in the live recroding of this week's episode have been spliced back in from the original master sound files.
  

So Batman Dark was an edge lord's dream...but nobody got that far into the book because they were all distracted by Bruce Wayne's Bat...pole. Since its the Private's wedding anniversary and there are no depths this podcast won't probe, that's your topic for this evening. IN OTHER STUFF: Lauren2000 gives a report from the sad wreckage of NYCC 2018. Venom came out so we discuss the concept of the Antihero in pop culture. Plus reviews of that movie and the season premiere of Doctor Who, along with the Action News on this week's wurst edition of The Nerdy Venoms yet!
THIS WEEK'S THEME SONG: Peter Howell, BBC Radiophonic Workshop: "Doctor Who Theme (end credits)" (R.Grainer/P. Howell, arr.)

THIS WEEK: Leesa Dean from ChilltownTV and the #BerdDating hashtag series on Twitter joins us to talk about Geek relationships of the variety you probably won't abandon next April!

All this and the Nerdy News on this edition of The Nerdy Venoms!
THIS WEEK'S THEME MUSIC: Dick Dale and his Del-Tones -- "Misirlou" (Traditional) 

You know...we had this great show planned with all these great topics about Star Wars, and music genres, and Telltale going under... but then Blerdwords had to open HIS BIG MOUTH and a wonderful new topic that we will NEVER FORGET arrived on the scene!...

ANYWAY! All that cringe and the Action News on this week's Cringeworthy edition of the Cringy Venoms!
THIS WEEK'S THEME SONG: Daryl Hall & John Oates -- "Out of Touch" (D. Hall/J. Oates)

THIS WEEK: Nobody watched the Emmys so we're gonna talk about 'em anyway. In other topics: Poland's racism rears its ugly head in the form of a backlash against the upcoming Geralt The Witcher tv series, we say goodbye (and good riddence) to Henry Cavill as Superman, and reviews of The Predator and the new Netflix "animated" series The Dragon Prince. All this and the Action News on this week's effervecent installment of the Nerdy Venoms Podcast!
THIS WEEK'S THEME SONG: Brad Breeck -- "Gravity Falls (Main Title)"

With no less than three hurricanes heading our way this week, we felt it was time to look at disasters of a more nerdy variety. Ranging from the DCEU to... yes... Universal Fancon. Speaking of disasters, we also review the second season of last year's hot turkey, Iron Fist. All this and the Action News on this week's soul scintilating edition of The Nerdy Venoms Podcast. 
THIS WEEK'S THEME MUSIC: Rhythm Herritage -- "Theme from S.W.A.T" (B. deVorzon)

Last week we were going to talk about this week's fall tv offerings but time was short then so here it is now! Also another installment of our toxic fandom series focussing on the angry white boy fueled malaise that is "Comicsgate", and a brief probing into the IOC's so hilarriously inept it hurts decision to make Esports a thing for the 2020 Summer Olympics. All that and the Action News on this week's edition of the Nerdy Venoms Podcast!
 

We're back! This week we discuss the surprise box office smash that is Crazy Rich Asians and what does it mean for Hollywood's recent pursuit of diversity.
