Nerd Best Friends

Episode 99 - GODDAMIT DONUT!

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 10:45:00 GMT

Welcome back, nerds—and buckle up, because this week we’re diving headfirst into chaos, carnage, and one very opinionated cat.

It’s Nerd Book Club time, and we’re breaking down Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman—the wildly addictive, darkly hilarious, “what did I just read and why can’t I stop?” phenomenon that has taken over the nerd multiverse.

Carl didn’t ask for this. Earth didn’t ask for this. But the dungeon doesn’t care. And Donut? …Donut definitely has opinions about ALL of it.

In this episode, your Nerd Best Friends crew dives into:

Why this series hits that perfect sweet spot of absurd humor + brutal stakes
The unstoppable force that is Princess Donut (yes, we said it)
The world-building that somehow keeps getting crazier—and better
Our favorite moments, characters, and “did that really just happen?!” scenes
Why fans of litRPG, sci-fi, fantasy, and chaos goblins will feel right at home

Whether you’re already deep in the dungeon, audiobook-ing your way through madness, or just hearing “GODDAMMIT DONUT!” for the first time—this episode is your invitation to join the crawl.

If you’ve read it, come geek out with us. If you haven’t… consider this your warning AND your recommendation.

Episode 97 - Mount Rushmore of NERDS

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 10:45:00 GMT

If the Nerd Best Friends had their own mountain… who would be carved into it forever?

In this episode, the Nerd Best Friends take on the ultimate nerd debate: our personal Mount Rushmore of Nerds. We’re talking about the creators, storytellers, and visionaries who shaped the fandoms we love—the people whose ideas launched universes, defined genres, and gave nerd culture some of its most iconic moments.

From legendary filmmakers and comic book masterminds to authors and world-builders, we each choose the four nerd icons we believe deserve a permanent place on the mountain of nerd greatness. But as you might expect… the debates get passionate, the picks get personal, and the definition of what makes someone a “true nerd legend” gets tested.

Along the way we talk about:

The creators who built the fandoms we grew up in

The storytellers whose ideas changed pop culture forever

The writers and artists who shaped entire nerd generations

And the tough choices when only four faces can make the mountain

Plus, we want to hear from YOU, Nerd Herd — who would be on your Mount Rushmore of Nerds?

So grab your chisel, carve your picks in stone, and join us for one of the nerdiest debates yet.

Episode 96 - The 30s: 1996

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 10:45:00 GMT

What happens when your favorite nerds turn the nostalgia dial to 1996?

In this episode, Analese and Rob continue their journey through the “30’s series” — revisiting the pop culture that shaped us 30 years ago. And wow… 1996 was absolutely stacked with nerdy goodness.

We’re talking iconic movies, unforgettable TV, legendary music, and the moments that defined the mid-90s nerd landscape. From blockbuster films and cult classics to the shows we rushed home to watch after school, this episode is a time machine back to the era of dial-up internet, mall culture, and peak Gen-X/Millennial nerd energy.

Expect plenty of nostalgia, laughs, and chaotic-good nerd energy as we revisit one of the most underrated pop culture years of the decade.

If you grew up in the 90s, this episode will absolutely unlock some core memories. Analese voted for blue M&Ms and Rob swears tan and blue M&Ms were always there.

Also in this episode: different styles of printed miniatures, does anyone still listen to the radio?, the horror movie SCREAM franchise, other nerd tangents.

Episode 90 - Return to Oz

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 08:45:00 GMT

This week, your Nerd Best Friends take a VERY bold trip back to Oz… and wow, was it darker than we expected.

For Analese and Rob, this was a first-time watch of Return to Oz, and let’s just say—no one was prepared for wheelers, electroshock therapy vibes, or an alarming number of interchangeable heads. Meanwhile, Dr. Intern Joan revisits a childhood favorite and helps us unpack why this deeply unsettling sequel left such a lasting impression on a whole generation of nerds.

Is it a misunderstood masterpiece? A nightmare masquerading as a kids’ movie? Or the ultimate example of 80s films saying, “Sure, kids can handle this”? We break down the visuals, the themes, the lore, and the emotional damage—plus why this movie still lives rent-free in so many brains decades later.

Strap in, grab your ruby slippers (or chicken), and join us for a delightfully dark Nerdstalgia dive.

Some goals are ambitious, some are cozy, and some are just an excuse to lean harder into the things that bring us joy.

This isn’t about productivity or perfection—it’s about intention, curiosity, and giving ourselves permission to be excited about what’s next. Whether you’re a list-maker, a goal-setter, or someone who just wants an excuse to buy more minis or crack open another comic, this episode is for you.

So grab your planner, your paintbrush, or your controller—and let’s talk about what we’re nerding out about in 2026.

Episode 88 - Back to the Future

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 11:45:00 GMT

Great Scott! Your Nerd Best Friends are firing up the DeLorean and hitting 88 miles per hour as we travel back (and forward) through one of the most iconic nerd franchises of all time: Back to the Future.

Analese, Rob, and Dr. Intern Joan dive into why this trilogy still holds up decades later—from perfect casting and quotable lines to time-travel rules that somehow actually make sense. We talk favorite moments, the genius of Doc Brown, Marty McFly’s enduring cool factor, and how Back to the Future shaped pop culture, sci-fi storytelling, and the very idea of what “the future” was supposed to look like.

Is Back to the Future a flawless trilogy? Why does it hit so hard for Gen X, Millennials, and new nerds discovering it today? And what lessons can we learn from a movie that insists your future isn’t written yet?

Grab your hoverboard, avoid paradoxes, and join us for a nerdy joyride through time.
