Openly Nerdy Podcast

I think at this point, we just need to be called the Mandalorian Podcast. What’s Openly Nerdy? Like the title says, we recap The Mandalorian season 2 and talk about that scene with some Jedi that people have been clamoring for since the conclusion of Return of the Jedi. His name rhymes with Duke. We speculate a little about season 3 and whine about what we are going to do with our time now until next year when Mando returns. All things considered, not a bad way to end our first season either. Reminder, we won’t be back for another episode until the new year so if you haven’t already done so, catch up with some of our older episodes that you may have missed!

Disney dropped a massive amount of new information on shows, movies, release dates, and content in general across all of their content partners during Disney’s Investor Day on December 10, 2020.

Have you ever been gatekeeped? Have you ever gatekeeped someone else? What the heck is gatekeeping? On this week’s episode of The Openly Nerdy Podcast, Adrian and Sean get into this controversial topic and let you know what it is and how you can avoid being a jerk about any fandom that you love. It’s all about being respectful and trying to bring people in rather than push people away. Then we get into the Mandalorian because why not and we’ve seen two more episodes since we last released an episode. We don’t get as spoilery but some deep cuts are provided. Do you want more deep cuts or no? As usual, the episode is bookended by news for the week and our weekly pull list. Strange Academy anyone? Thanks again for listening! 00:00:06 Thanksgiving recap, 00:03:24 news, 00:15:06 What is gatekeeping?, 00:34:48 1k listen milestone, 00:36:00 Mandalorian S2 E6 Tragedy, 01:00:40 pull list. #OpenlyNerdy #OpenlyNerdyPodcast #Podcast #Podcasts #Podcasting #PodcastShow #PodcastLife #Gatekeeping #TheMandalorian #TheTragedy #Mando #TheChild #Grogu #DinDjarin #StarWars #Nerdy #NerdCulture #Geek #GeekCulture #

Well, we were supposed to discuss--in detail--whether we read the books on our pull lists or not (we still do) but we were side tracked by season 2 episode 4 of The Mandalorian! Openly Nerdy lives up to its namesake and analyzes some of the more salient plot points and hopefully convey to you why these are important to the overall Star Wars mythos. Adrian provides his knowledge on the Legends material but please note, we get spoilery so watch the episode then listen to our analysis. As usual, we analyze some of the news from the week (Wonder Woman 84 and Deadpool 3) and provide our pull list picks for the week! Sean actually puts in an independent pick!

Well, the Russo brothers have mentioned Secret Wars in the news yet again. But what is this secret war that the Avengers, I mean, Russo brothers keep mentioning? The Openly Nerdy Crew break it down for you and primarily discuss the 2015 story (as opposed to the one published in 1984) and give you some of the major plot points, the major players, and how we think the lead up in the MCU could be pointing to an Anthony and Joe Russo return. On top of all that amazing goodness, Sean provides you with this week’s headlines and we both cap the episode off with our picks for upcoming books in our pull list. Let us know what you think!
