  Episode #60

  Not Quite Nerds - Ep 60 - Guardians, Ants, Ironhearts and old man gamers.

  Sep 24, 202654 min

  ️ Episode 60: Wolverine, Marvel & Grumpy Old Gamers Matt and Luch are taking over this week, and apparently they’ve reached the stage of life where they just want video games to be simple again. First up, the boys preview Insomniac’s Wolverine. Can it deliver the brutal Wolverine game we’ve been waiting for? And why do two ageing gamers increasingly just want a game they can pick up, play and understand without completing a three-hour tutorial first? Then it’s back to Marvel, and there’s A LOT to get through… ❤️ Ironheart — does Riri Williams win the Nerds over? Werewolf by Night — a very different corner of the MCU, but is different necessarily better? Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania — yep. We’re going there. The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special — surely we can all agree on this one… right? Right?! Some opinions are shared. Some opinions are questioned. And at least one may cause controversy. Add the usual ridiculous tangents, arguments and two increasingly grumpy men complaining about modern gaming, and you’ve got Episode 60 of Not Quite Nerds. Out now!

  Not Quite Nerds - Ep 59 - Mallory's Marvelous Recap (Ep 16 & 17)

  Sep 17, 202650 min

  ️ Episode 59: Mallory’s Marvel-ous Madness – The Story So Far! It’s time to rewind the Nerdverse as we head back to Episodes 16 & 17 for another Mallory’s Marvel-ous Madness Recap! We revisit the moment Mallory’s journey through Marvel really started hitting some heavy hitters — including Deadpool, Spider-Man: Homecoming and more from her increasingly enormous Marvel watchlist. ️ What did Mallory think the first time around? Which films surprised her? Which opinions caused arguments? And, most importantly, how badly did Matt and Luch manage to derail the conversation? Whether you’ve been following Mallory’s Marvel journey from the beginning or joined us somewhere along the way, Episode 59 is your chance to relive some of the highlights, hot takes and inevitable tangents. Episode 59 of Not Quite Nerds – Mallory’s Marvel-ous Madness continues... by going backwards! #NotQuiteNerds #MallorysMarvelMadness #Marvel #MCU #Deadpool #SpiderManHomecoming #SpiderMan #MarvelPodcast #GeekCulture #Nerdverse #Podcast

  Episode #58

  Not Quite Nerds - Ep 58 - She-Hulk hits different

  Sep 10, 202646 min

  Episode 58: Luch-less, but Definitely Not Marvel-less! Luch is missing this week, which means Mallory and Matt have been left to run the Nerdverse on their own. Probably a terrible idea. Mallory’s Marvel-ous Madness continues as we tackle three very different corners of the MCU: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law — does the show hit differently now than it did when it first released? With a little distance from the online chaos that surrounded it, is there more to appreciate? ⚡ Thor: Love and Thunder — funny? Too funny? Underrated? Or does it still deserve the criticism it received? ✨ Ms. Marvel — we look back at Kamala Khan's introduction to the MCU and ask a bigger question: are we actually going to see these characters again? She-Hulk, Kamala, Jane Foster and more — Marvel introduced a whole host of new female characters during this era, but what comes next for them? Plus, with Luch absent, you'd think there'd be fewer tangents. You'd be wrong. Expect Marvel debates, questionable opinions, plenty of laughs and classic Not Quite Nerds chaos.

  Not Quite Nerds - Ep 57 - Sports and Comedy and sports comedies.

  Sep 3, 20261h 4m

  ️ Episode 57: Sports Movies, Comedy & Plenty of Tangents! Mallory's away, so Matt and Luch are left unsupervised again... what could possibly go wrong? This week, we're talking SPORTS MOVIES! ⚾⚽ Why do sports stories make such great films? Which sport has produced the best movies? And, most importantly, which films are absolute must-watches, even if you couldn't care less about sport? From underdogs and impossible comebacks to inspirational coaches and last-second victories, Matt and Luch pick their favourites and inevitably disagree along the way. But then come the tangents... Ryan Murphy — what's working, what's not, and why we keep watching. Shane Gillis — which leads us down the potentially dangerous rabbit hole of modern comedy... Has the world become too sensitive for comedy? Or has comedy simply changed with the times? Expect questionable opinions, nostalgia, arguments, laughs and several moments where we completely forget we were supposed to be talking about sports movies. Episode 57 of Not Quite Nerds is out now! YOUR TURN: What's the greatest sports movie ever made — and which sport produces the best films? #NotQuiteNerds #Episode57 #SportsMovies #MoviePodcast #Comedy #ShaneGillis #RyanMurphy #GeekCulture #Movies #Nerdverse #Podcast #FilmTalk

  Episode #56

  Not Quite Nerds - Ep 56 - Echo or Shuri?

  Aug 27, 20261h 7m

  ️ Episode 56 is LIVE – Wakanda, Echo & Another Cinema Discovery! The Nerds are back, and this week there are some seriously surprising opinions! We dive into Black Panther: Wakanda Forever — does it live up to the legacy of the original? ‍♀️ Then it's time for Echo — and let's just say... not everyone agrees. We also react to the VisionQuest trailer and discuss what it could mean for the future of the MCU. Over in the DC universe, we take a look at Lanterns – Episode 1 and ask whether it's got the potential to bring something special to the DCU. And somehow, Luch has found ANOTHER film worth going to the cinema for! Has he finally cracked the code? Plus, naturally, there's chaos, tangents, laughs and plenty of Nerds disagreeing with each other. Episode 56 is out now! We want to know: What did you think of Wakanda Forever? Is Echo underrated? Are you excited for VisionQuest and Lanterns? And what film has Luch convinced you is worth the cinema trip? #NotQuiteNerds #Episode56 #BlackPanther #WakandaForever #Echo #VisionQuest #Lanterns #Marvel #DC #MCU #DCU #GeekCulture #Podcast #MovieNerds #Nerdverse ️
