79: How Arnold Schwarzenegger Made the Best Christmas Movie Ever Feb 22, 2016

Show notes

We've got a treat for you guys today! Scott is traveling, so we called upon our friends over at the Flashback Flicks Podcast to fill in with an episode all about the Christmas classic, Jingle All the Way!

Don't worry, Scott's voice is still in it, but we've also got the hosts of Flashback Flicks, Ricky and Grayson, to give your ear homes a treat! Make sure you subscribe to their podcast on iTunes, and let us know what you thought about it on twitter!

78: Deadpool Movie Review & Discussion Feb 15, 2016

Show notes

The Deadpool movie is finally here, and we're going to talk about it. I mean, of course we are. Why would you think we wouldn't?

We all had pretty positive things to say about it, so if you are looking for a podcast that is going to hate on it, probably don't listen to this one. But still download it anyway. That really helps us out!

77: Are You A "True Fan"? Feb 08, 2016

Show notes

We've got a panel of nerds on to discuss something that's near and dear to my heart. What does it mean to be a fan of something? And to that extent, what does it mean to be a "true fan"?

We're examining properties from Dragon Ball Z, Batman, Deadpool, Doctor Who, Star Wars, Mass Effect, Pokemon, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as we try to figure out once and for all what qualifies someone as a fan!

76: Suicide Squad & Legends of Tomorrow - What's With All The Team Ups? Feb 01, 2016

Show notes

We're reviewing the newest Suicide Squad trailer as well as CW's Legends of Tomorrow pilot! Plus we try to examine why there are so many team ups in comic book movies and tv shows lately.

Batman Very Superman, Civil War, and even the third Thor movie will all have team ups and battles between different heroes. BUT WHY?! We don't really answer that, but we sure do ask a lot of questions!

75: Is Cyborg a Paradox? Jan 25, 2016

Show notes

We're taking a look at Cyborg, Star Trek, and philosophical paradoxes today, because we apparently love to argue with each other!

If Cyborg keeps replacing parts of his body, is he still himself? If a Star Trek teleporter malfunctions and accidentally clones you (a little bit), which you is MORE you? We're discussing the philosophy of personal identity in today's NerdSync Podcast!

74: How Comics Are Controlled by the Movies Jan 18, 2016

Show notes

Marvel's Cinematic Universe has introduced a lot of changes to their comic book superheroes and villains, but what happens when they bring those changes back into the comics?

Today, we're discussing how the world of comics is heavily influenced by the movies in regards to costumes, origins, or even whether or not their comics get printed at all! Plus, we go on a rant about whether or not the current business model is stifling creativity.

What do you guys think about all this? Let us know on Twitter: @NerdSync

73: Is Valiant's Bloodshot the Future of Humanity? Jan 11, 2016

Show notes

Will humans one day have billions of nanites flowing through our body? Will we upload our brains to the internet? Will we all chop off our arms and legs in exchange for robotic limbs? More importantly, who will be able to control the technological advancements of the human species?

Today, we're talking about Bloodshot, a comic book character from Valiant Comics who represents the idea of transhumanism—the idea of furthering human evolution through technology. What do you guys think about all of this? Let us know!

72: Owen Likes Comics Jan 04, 2016

Show notes

The two gents discuss podcasting, YouTube's fascinating algorithms, the housing market in Marvel's New York City, and much more!

Make sure you subscribe to Owen's channel so he can hit over 1200 by the end of today!

71: New Years 2016 (Unedited) Dec 28, 2015

Show notes

In this unedited version of the podcast, we're reflecting on 2015 in movies, shows, games, and probably other things. I can't really remember. It's all a blur.

If you hit play at exactly 11pm on New Year's Eve, we'll count down the seconds with you until 2016! That's kind of a fun, wacky thing. I don't know. I'm really tired as I'm writing this. Enjoy the thing, and we'll see you next year.
