Nerds & Normies

Welcome back to Nerds & Normies! We are alive again and ready to share tons of stories and laughs with you. Make sure to listen so you get all the juicy details from our long hiatus, learn all about the show and hear some hilarious stories from the last year. Also, don't forget to follow us on Instagram @nerds_n_normies so you don't miss any of the new episodes!

Season three concludes! We plot the future of Jurassic World, discover Benjamin Butthole disease, and reach a terrible new low for closet cosplay. Join us for all the laughs and final ratings on the Jurassic Universe.

The deep dive into Jurrasic World/Park fanfic is here! We discuss the crazy ships, dino/human DNA mashups, and of course, the recurring topic of dinosaur "relations". Listen and laugh as Daelen and Martin derail the conversation over and over and Sarah struggles to get a point in.

We're back after injecting all Jurassic movies directly into our eyeballs. In this episode: JP2, bad or #$%^ing terrible? Vin Diesel + velociraptors = Vin-loceraptors? Should Jurassic World 2 be renamed Jurassic World Boobs? and what does this have to do with Osama Bin Laden?

The long-awaited WW sequel has arrived! Unfortunately, it’s a freaking train wreck. Martin and Sarah dissect this pathetic attempt at a movie so you don’t have to suffer the entire 151 long minutes of it. Filled with all the hilarious ramblings and (inaccurate) fun facts, you won’t want to miss out on this new episode.

We are back for Season 3! This time we are exploring the most normal fandom we could think of…Jurassic Park. Join our normie guest Daelen as we explore all 5 Jurrasic Saga movies. Inappropriate jokes, scholarly discussions, and much more await as we introduce our newest fandom.

Join us and our guest Madi, who has actually seen Ready Player One AND read the book, unprecedented! See if you agree with our completely unbiased and objective movie review, that totally doesn't include multiple rants on its (very obvious) defects. With the sequel Ready Player Two out this is a must-listen. So join us with our usual shenanigans as we deep dive into Ready Player One.

Daelen is back, and we made him watch both Kill Bill movies. We discuss whether it really is more “2/3 Kill, 1/3 Bill”, devise far better (and crazy) ways it should have ended and whether Tarantino should have just made the Bride a cyber-criminal. Join us for a lot of laughs and discussion on this week’s episode.

Part two of our exploration of all things military, if you missed part one, Cover Me, I’m Going In check that out first. This episode we tell a LOT of hilarious and ridiculous stories from our military careers. We also dive into our experiences transitioning to a civilian lifestyle and give some great advice for other transitioning veterans. If you want all the details on a guy sh**ing his pants at basic, then make sure you listen!

Ever wondered what it was like to be in the military? Are you a vet and you love laughing at other veteran stories? This is the episode for you then. Martin and Sarah tell some funny stories from their time in the Air Force and Army, discuss the military in general, and what it’s like to be a linguist. Join us for some laughs and find out why the phrase “stop having sex in the dumpsters” was yelled at 7am one day.

Where the f*** have we been? No need to keep wondering because Nerds & Normies is back! We now present our current State of the Pod. Sound boring? Think again, because we hilariously update you on our lives, the podcast in the pandemic, and our new obsessions on things like BL manga. What's that? Listen and find out…trust me, you won’t regret it!

“Never Retreat! Never Surrender!” That's right our next one shot is Galaxy Quest. The classic spoof movie, including Alan Rickman, of the original Star Trek series. Join along in this episode, with a surprisingly low count of side tangents, as we talk casting, comedy, and spin-offs. Sorry we're totally fanboys/girls on this one!

Vin Diesel’s newest movie Bloodshot had some great trailers but did it live up to the hype? No, and we had to pay $20 to figure it out. Grudges against the actors emerge, arguments over the worst aspect, and some helpful reviews might occur. Come laugh along to our deep dive into Bloodshot and see if you agree with our final ratings.

The end of Lord of the Rings is here! We’ve dug into the fandom, deeper than the mines of Moria go, and come out the other side relatively unscathed. We face one more test of knowledge and then finally decide where we fall on the Normie to Nerd scale. Join us and laugh, as some fall at the end, and one rises to glorious new heights.

Get your tinfoil hats on because we are about to jump down a rabbit hole of crazy fan theories for Lord of the Rings. From absolutely ridiculous evil Tom Bombadil, to the facts about Gandolf’s terrible wizarding skills, we’ve found the best of the theories to discuss. Don’t worry we also make sure to bring up the biggest plot hole in the entire series…those god damn eagles!

The expanded universe of Lord of the Rings is just pathetic…or is it? Follow along as we debate the fandom’s merits when it comes to video games, tv shows, theme parks and more. We also come to epic conclusions, using the 20 sided die of truth, about Tolkien’s teat sucking son and Peter Jackson’s crap-tastic skills

An irresistible Gollum? A** pancakes? Eggs by the river is sexy? Legomance? Did they say “Hobbit Pile”? Is there no depth to the weirdness of our fanfic episode? No, and don’t worry, it gets worse. Also, hear each of us pitch a new crazy fanfic idea, which you get to vote on. Whoever wins has to turn it into a reality! This is an episode you can't miss.

We’ve learned elvish, suffered greatly through the Lord of the Rings movies (extended version obviously) and are ready to discuss all the nitty gritty details of the series. After all, only experts in the fandom could mispronounce Aragorn’s name repeatedly and wonder about an oiled up Gimli and Legolas. Does our normie still hate the series or has there been a change of heart? The only way to find out, is to join us for episode two.

Welcome back for Season 2. This time we will be exploring the fandom, Lord of the Rings. Our guest this season’s even crazier then the last so you won’t want to miss out on a single moment. This episode we’ll introduce the fandom, discuss critical elements of the movies, like Gollum’s penis, and compare current nerd levels. Watch out though, because no one can top making out with a cardboard Legolas each night. Welcome to Nerds & Normies’s Season Two, Lord of the Rings.

As we race towards Season 2, nothing, not even a bomb, can slow this bus down. But don’t worry this one shot, off ramp (get it?), is sure to be full of thrills and giggles. Join us as we take an in depth look at the 1994 classic, Speed, with our special guest Madi, “she’s a vegan in case you didn’t know”.

The end of the Harry Potter season is here! We will take a look back on the season, talk about our new cosplay tradition, that totally doesn't translate to audio so follow us on instagram @nerds_n_normies, rant about Daelen...a whole lot, and re-evaluate ourselves on the Normie to Nerd scale. Where will we all land? Only one way to find out.

The moment has arrived! Our journey down the rabbit hole, where we explore Harry Potter fan theories involving love potions, Ronbledore, cannibalism and other crazy things we found on the net. Legit or not? Only the real experts know. Of course, that's us...DUH!!

Join us as we do something productive, for once, and take a closer look at the entire Harry Potter fandom. What does Sarah think of the Fantastic Beast movies? What alternate titles would Daelen (and by proxy Google) give the books? All this, in addition to, authentic Hogwarts food, fake tears, debating Spiderman, and how the franchise can be milked even more.

Greatest Christmas movie ever? That's rhetorical...because the only acceptable answer is Die Hard. Join us as we take a quick look at the iconic movie, that gets everyone into the holiday spirit. Die Hard is the first of our One Shot episodes. They let you get down and dirty with the topic quickly, but has all the fun of our full seasons.

WTF is a fanfic, why are Harry Potter fans are so thirsty, and what the hell is Rombus? Listen to Episode 3 where we dissect all that and more. Plus, hear each of us make an outrageous pitch for own Harry Potter story and vote for the winner. It's laughs, dark humor, inappropriate character shipping and much much (maybe too much) more.

We’re back. Research is completed, facts are checked, but everything, somehow, remains wrong. Newly knowledgeable, we have to ask ourselves the deep questions: Why is the series not titled Hermione and her Dumbfuck Friends? Where are all the wizarding therapist? And most importantly, who should be cast in Hood Potter? If you want the answers to this and more, listen to this weeks episode of Nerds & Normies.

Join us and our normie guest Daelen, as we set the stage for this season’s fandom, Harry Potter. Among other things, we’ll have our normie guest explain what he thinks Harry Potter is (wrongly), our personal level of nerd and test each other with some hilarious trivia. It’s all fun and games until one of the hosts violently attacks the guest. Welcome to Nerds & Normies.
