Robert and Katrina let Brian chime in on this installment.  On the back of an awful gross layoff, DC held their Virtual FanDome to get everyone excited about their up and coming projects.  Maybe they should have double checked their timelines before axing a bunch of people to then say "Hey everyone, look at what is coming and give us your money", but that's just Katrina talking.  Robert talks some Jim Lee commission pricing and they all discuss The Batman trailer.  Katrina was super lame and did not watch the new Wonder Woman trailer or the trailers for Batman: Arkham and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.  Please forgive her blunder.

On this installment Robert and Katrina have Alan Zoom in to have such a positive upbeat conversation.  We discuss the current debate on in-home new releases for a premium.  Most studios are offering new releases due to Movie Theater closures.  However Disney is stepping up the game.    

Robert and Katrina break out the mics for a no guest installment.  We have some new equipment that we are excited about but do have to learn how to use first.  Well, Katrina has to learn how to use the equipment.  Anyway, Robert and Katrina discuss a couple AITA (Am I the Asshole) situations that they stumbled across while surfing the wreck that is Social Media. 

Robert and Katrina take their first crack at a Zoom podcast.  Lacie and Cory join all the way from the East Coast to talk Letterkenny.  Please excuse the dog attack on the equipment.  We all breakdown favorite characters and stories.  Hope you all enjoy, also give Letterkenny a shot.  It is worth it.

Robert and Katrina talk the phenomenon that is Hamilton.  Hamilton fever is alive and well at 9 to 5 Nerds HQ.  Robert and Katrina talk favorite songs and Katrina cannot keep the character names straight.  They talk how themes are relevant in these current times.  If you haven't watched Hamilton, it is highly recommended.  Don't throw away your shot to see something great.

Apologies for the silence.  It's been a rough couple of months and cabin fever is setting in big time.  Robert and Katrina are mustering the motivation to get the mics up and going again full speed in the near future.   Robert and Katrina talk about where their heads are at and where they have been.  Mentally that is since they really can't go anywhere.  Robert throws down the challenge and we will have to wait and see if they succeed.

Living under the current stay at home order, Robert and Katrina break out the Yeti mic for an episode.  So we don't know if you are aware of this little thing called Tiger King, but if you haven't watched it yet (which is probably impossible) there are spoilers.  Talk Overlord and Dave which recently dropped on FXX.  Robert and Katrina talk a little cabin fever and just how it is going during the the stay at home order.  Working on bringing you more episodes during this weird time.  Stay safe!

This episode was recorded before the floor dropped out and we were all told to stay home.  Robert, Corey and Katrina had Brian join in to discuss the anticipated Final Fantasy 7 demo.  We touch on Christian Bale being cast as a Marvel villain and try to speculate who he might play.  We quickly realize that we do not know many Marvel villains that have not been portrayed. Robert asks the group what their first cd/dvd purchase was.  Hope you listeners are doing well wherever you are.

Robert, Katrina, Alan and Brian enjoy some food from Cali Comfort and some adult beverages from North Park Beer Company.  We enjoyed  'Resonant" written by David Andry and colored by Harry Saxon as well as "Mars Attacks" written by Kyle Starks and art by Chris Schweizer.  Make sure to put "Resonant" on your pull list at your local comic book store.  Solid story with fantastic art.  We can't wait to see where this story is going.  We discuss how "Mars Attacks" is a fun read that presses the nostalgia button.  Enjoy!

Robert gets the microphones fired back up for another episode.  Sickness took a toll and sidelined our productivity but we are back.  Robert, Corey and Katrina have Anthony join in to get up to speed on events since our last recording.  Robert makes the mistake of falling down the political hole which he was trying to avoid.  Coronavirus is in the air which surprisingly does not have Robert running to his bunker.  Robert and Katrina talk about the Rise of the Resistance ride as they were lucky to get on during their last visit to Disneyland.  We get caught up on what we all are watching and Robert finishes God of War.  Robert and Katrina are moving through their "need to watch" movie list and we touch on the Kobe Bryant tragedy.  We finish with Anthony's story of the first time he met his girlfriend's dad which some parts he doesn't even remember.  Welcome back to the fun.

You will have to give the comic a read to find out.  Robert ad Alan continue their disagreement on what is good and what is bad.  Will these two ever get along?  Listen and find out.

Robert, Corey and Katrina have Brian on to talk about the super light topic of consent.
