The Nerdy Venoms Podcast

In the latest installment of our ongoing series on fanboy rage (if they won't stop, then neither will the Nerdy Venoms), we look at the concept of fan overenthusiasm possibly being the cause of various closed Twitter accounts and death threats. Also a quick discussion of movies you can only enjoy once due to fear of lessened emotional impact. Plus reviews of The Meg, BlackKKlansman, Slender Man, The Spy Who Dumped Me, Christopher Robin, and the surprisingly controversial new season of Voltron: Legendary Defender. All that and the Action News on this week's thought provoking installment of The Nerdy Venoms Podcast!

Kids these days aren't reading enough books. That's because they're spending all their time getting spoilers from Wikipedia. The Nerdy Vernoms address this growing national problem and how it relates to books today's youth aren't reading anymore period: comic books!

So its been 30 years since the late Michael Crichton reworked his old script for Westworld into the original Jurassic Park novel.
