Fri, 29 Aug 2025 08:30:00 GMT

The boys are back with a jam-packed news roundup! Ludo, Timi, and Joey dive into the latest from film, TV, anime, and comics, with their usual unfiltered takes and banter.

This week, the Council breaks down:

Disney reportedly developing Cool Runnings 2 with an all-female bobsled team – do we need it?
Crunchyroll teaming up with Delta Airlines to bring anime to the skies
The return of Scary Movie under the Wayans Brothers – can spoof comedies make a comeback?
Marvel Zombies and whether Disney is failing to market its Black-led projects like Ironheart and Wakanda.
James Gunn teasing Idris Elba’s Bloodsport return to the DCU.
First look at Tom Holland’s new Spider-Man suit in Brand New Day

Plus, the gang goes deep on comedy’s decline, Marvel’s diversity problem, and why zombie franchises like 28 Days Later and Train to Busan still set the standard.

Tune in for laughs, hot takes, and plenty of nerd culture energy.

Season 7: Episode #010 - Hope For A New Generation

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 09:08:18 GMT

James Gunn is ushering in a bold new era for the DC Universe, starting with the most iconic superhero of all time. In this episode, the TNC squad dives deep into everything we know (and speculate) about Gunn’s Superman. From David Corenswet’s debut in the cape to the stacked supporting cast and the film’s place in the wider DCU reboot, we unpack it all.

We explore Gunn’s creative vision, the shift in tone from previous Superman portrayals, and what this film means for the future of DC on screen. Is this the hopeful Superman fans have been waiting for? Or is there more to the story than meets the eye?

Expect hot takes, bold predictions, and some serious discussion around whether James Gunn can finally give Superman, and the DCU, the fresh start it deserves.

Season 7: Episode #009 - The State of The Galactic Empire

Mon, 16 Jun 2025 07:00:00 GMT

This week on The Nerd Council, we’re diving headfirst into the galaxy far, far away to examine where Star Wars stands in 2025. With Disney doubling down on its streaming strategy following the sequel trilogy, we look at the current slate of projects—from The Mandalorian Season 4 and Andor Season 2 to The Acolyte and Skeleton Crew—and question whether the storytelling still holds weight or is beginning to feel formulaic. On the film side, new entries like Daisy Ridley’s return as Rey, Dave Filoni’s Mando-verse crossover, and the Dawn of the Jedi film are in development, but will they restore the franchise’s cinematic glory or further blur its once-mythic event status?

We also explore the ongoing division within the fan base. Whether you're a staunch sequel defender, a disgruntled purist, or a casual viewer, Star Wars discourse continues to be divisive, especially on social media. We discuss how shows like Andor and Visions have managed to bridge gaps and win back some credibility, and whether the franchise can learn from recent stumbles made by the MCU as it tries to map out its future.

Season 7: Episode #008 - The League Of Mentally Disturbed Heroes*

Thu, 22 May 2025 06:30:00 GMT

We’re diving into Marvel’s latest release: Thunderbolts*...Sorry, The New Avengers! With a line-up of former villains, antiheroes, and fan-favourites like Bucky, Yelena, and Red Guardian, we’re asking: is this Marvel’s answer to the Suicide Squad — or something entirely different? Does this film hold up to the rest of Phase 5? What does the formation of The New Avengers mean for the future of The Avengers team in the MCU? And does the film do a good job tackling grief, mental health and hardship?

Season 7: Episode #007 - "THINK, MARK!"

Mon, 21 Apr 2025 10:30:00 GMT

This week on The Nerd Council, we’re diving into all three seasons of Invincible, breaking down the most jaw-dropping moments, standout character arcs, and the show's evolving themes. From the iconic train scene and Omni-Man’s brutal betrayal to the chaos of the Mark War and the blood-soaked battle with Conquest, we explore how Mark Grayson has grown from a naïve teen hero to a hardened, conflicted leader. We also get into what worked—like the stellar voice cast, deep world-building, and emotional storytelling—and what didn’t, including the animation drop-off, uneven pacing, and certain underdeveloped character arcs.

Also we discuss Devil May Cry getting renewed on Netflix, Robert Pattinson being eyed for Dune 3, Netflix’s new OpenAI-powered search tech, a new Matrix film by Drew Goddard and much more!

What Is The Best Video Game Movie Adaptation?

In this episode of The Nerd Council Podcast, we look at the best and worst video games adapted to film and TV! From Super Mario to Castlevania, The Last of Us to Uncharted - what video game has had the best adaptation?

We discuss what it takes to make a great video game adaptation and what has caused many studios to miss the mark. Can games without deep narratives still make good movies and TV shows?

Season 7: Episode #005 - Hollywood's Creative Decline

Sat, 29 Mar 2025 12:56:07 GMT

Has Hollywood Officially Run Out of Ideas?

In this episode of The Nerd Council, we dive into the never-ending cycle of reboots, legacy sequels, and live-action remakes—is Hollywood out of fresh ideas? From Robocop to Matrix Resurrections and Coming 2 America, we break down some of the most infamous failed attempts at reviving old franchises.

We also explore why studios keep playing it safe—has the end of DVD sales forced them into a profit-first, risk-averse formula? And what about sequels arriving decades later—does anyone actually want Constantine 2 this late in the game?

Plus, we look at the growing trend of turning beloved animated classics into live-action (One Piece, The Lion King, Lilo & Stitch)—is it innovation or just another cash grab?

With Hollywood insiders like Michael Bay and James Cameron lamenting the industry’s slow-moving, franchise-driven mindset, we ask: Who truly has the power to change the system—directors, studios, or audiences?

Join us as we debate the future of filmmaking, the need for fresh stories, and whether Hollywood needs to decentralize and take risks again.

Season 7: Episode #004 - Can't Get To Paradise from Atlanta

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 07:30:00 GMT

In this jam-packed episode of The Nerd Council, we dive into the latest in nerd culture! We break down Paradise on Disney+, the upcoming sci-fi thriller starring Ray Fisher and Ben Affleck—could this be Fisher’s big post-Justice League moment? Then, we tackle Captain America: Brave New World and the state of the MCU—will this be the film to reignite excitement, or is superhero fatigue hitting harder than ever?

Speaking of fatigue, we discuss whether audiences are truly done with capes and cowls, or if the right stories can still bring the hype. Plus, we get into Avatar: Fire and Ash, the next chapter in the beloved Avatar: The Last Airbender saga, and the latest on the Resident Evil movie reboot—will it finally get the franchise right on the big screen?

All that and more in this episode—your home for all things nerd culture.

Season 7: Episode #003 - Gaming On My Mind

Sat, 30 Nov 2024 13:31:42 GMT

Gaming has always been an area of contention when it comes to how beneficial or harmful it can be, so we decided to sit down and talk about all the ways gaming has helped us, how it has been impactful (and in some cases harmful) to our mental state and what can be done to ensure gaming is a force for good. And course expect your dose of nerdy news and banter from the cast!
