Relatable Nerds

To celebrate the finale of House of the Dragon, we called in some reinforcements to recreate the *dragons flying overhead* vibes (aka the Air and Water show is happening in Chicago and there are really loud jets all over the city) - apologies if the sound of this episode is triggering, over stimulating or just too annoying to listen to while we gossip about how long it took Daemon to bend his damn knee... This season was....something. The finale was also something.  Regardless - we have two more seasons to look forward to of fierce dragon realness.  Max continues to be the most profitable streaming app, as they dropped their 2025 preview of upcoming shows, which gave us a 10 second, "The Last of Us," season 2 teaser which promptly made us emotional. We're not ready. Are you?

This past week the highly anticipated blockbuster movie of the summer, extremely sexual, perfectly thrilling and captivating, hilariously written, Deadpool and Wolverine, premiered in theaters. Of course we saw it opening night, after making the greater part of Chicago drinks (service industry workers say hey!)  Despite watching our favorite degenerate anti heros grace the screen in their extra tight spandex-clad suits, in the wee early hours of the morning past our bedtimes, we truthfully could not blink. What a perfect union of two misfits that are perfect for one another. We have a full breakdown and reaction, as well as some SDCC news! While we were distracted about Pedro Pascal being in full blown Reed Richards mode (and we ain't mad about it), the rest of the world was losing their minds over a certain someone returning to the MCU.... You already know who it is. RDJ is back and ready to collect that MARVEL MONEY. 

One of our favorite shows is finally back and we're ready to drop everything we've cared about up until this point (cough The Acolyte cough), to discuss how much we love watching dragons fly on our televisions every week, as well as the occasional cunning sibling murder. Too soon, too soon.  This is a heavy spoiler episode that dives into House of the Dragon, so if you haven't watched the show or Episode 1 yet, please be aware that we do not hold back.  This is also the perfect opportunity to catch up on the show thus far before episode 2 premieres tonight! We threw in some fun nerd news in the beginning as well. The usual rants,comments, and weekly shenanigans - you know the drill.  

We have a BRAND new Star Wars show that premiered this past week and we are so excited to experience a new time period, in our favorite galaxy, that hasn't been explored before : The High Republic. The High Republic was a time when the Jedi were at their very best, thriving you could even say. No Sith were around, everyone was singing "Kumbaya," and there were even yellow sabers! There were cross breeds of aliens and humans everywhere you looked, different jedi fashion, and even sabers that whipped it real good (yes there were lightsaber whips, thank you Vernestra Rwoh)    We break down episodes 1 +2, right after we deliver a lot of nerd news. A new Hunger Games prequel, Sabrina Carpenter dropping the hottest soundtrack of Eternals Part II, and more Deadpool news! 

It's been a week since we concluded X-Men 97 and our lives will never be the same. That is all. 

Disney Plus has become a beacon of light and especially darkness in recent weeks, as we have been tuning into the revival series of X-Men 97 and The Bad Batch, which have us feeling some type of way (extreme sadness). The content material for both of these shows is HEAVY. Just because both of these series are animated, does not mean they hold back on the storylines. Characters through both of these series are constantly judged, hated against, and targeted for no reason, other than them wanting to do good. From the empire trafficking children for M-counts and cloning, to the mutants of X-Men being treated as outcasts and put through genocide because of their genetic makeup, Disney Plus has become a dark place the past few weeks.   ....however, we see the light at the end of the tunnel, or Genosha. We'll cheer you up with some fun nerd news, talk about some Dune fans at Coachella because why not and insert some fun life tangents in between. 

It's been a couple of weeks since the release of Dune Part II and we are certain our lives will never be the same... LISAN AL GAIB!  We've let some time pass since we have both seen the film, to gather our many thoughts and process the magic that we experienced on screen. If you've seen Dune, you know exactly what we're talking about. We discuss our favorite scenes, character changes and what we thought of Denis' take on one of our favorite universes.  Nerd News this week is a lot of banter, discussing St. Patrick's Day in Chicago and how to survive if you're in the service industry. We're still just a shell of the person we once were before that shift. Some exciting Star Wars news as well, as we are on the brink of The Acolyte series, which will take place 100 years before The Phantom Menace! Fun times to be a nerd!

Episode 70, nice to meet ya! Can't believe we've arrived at just 30 shy of 100 episodes! If you've made it this far with us, we appreciate you more than you know! We start off this episode with a slight tangent on how the popular, "Dry January," saga is going for us. Are we participating? Was it a facade? Are we directly hurting the economy of our own industry by not drinking? S. O. S. We directly attack the Academy for not nominating The Iron Claw YET AGAIN. You're wrong, we are right. End of story. Through our Oscars discussion, we realize we have forgotten most movies we've seen in 2023. Thank you long covid. ECHO premiered a few weeks ago on Disney+ and we're here to break it down. More specifically, we are here for Maya Lopez supremacy, and Chula, you can kick rocks for being an absent grandmother when Maya needed you the most. Biscuits - you're the real MVP. Still reading this and have 0 idea what we're talking about? That's why you should listen to this episode - DUH!

We're baaaaaaaaaack with the FIRST episode of 2024! We took a little break during the holidays to spend time with our family and friends, and take a much needed mental break, to ensure we'd be back and ready for all of what 2024 is to bring!  The burn out was real, as 2023 was an incredible year for us and we are FOREVER grateful for everyone's support and helping grow our channel by 20k!  This inaugural episode of 2024 features a few nerd news rumors (What if Star Wars? could be happening) and an episode by episode breakdown of Marvel's What If? Season 2!   

This week, we take a break from recapping our favorite shows (still taking time to grieve the end of Loki) and have a full fledged, nerd news episode. Word on the town is, Pedro Pascal is the new Reed Richards. Were we excited by this news or terrified? Or....both.  Are you familiar with the term 'ugly hot?' Here's a hint: Adam Driver Have a happy holiday if you're celebrating this week! We'll see you in December for Invincible recaps!

We say goodbye to one of our favorite Marvel characters, Loki, as we recap the season finale of the final season of "Loki." Throughout the entire MCU and the comic books we grew up reading, Loki has always been a favorite character of ours (and now a very fond friend), that we anticipated seeing and watching devilishly while he makes everyone's lives around him more difficult.  The "Loki" series completely humanized Loki, and showed us a side to him we haven't quite seen before. We're sad to say goodbye (for now) to the prince of mischief, the keeper of time and an absolute horny bastard. We know we'll see you again one day Loki. Our nerd news this week should also not be missed. The strike is now over and life can return to normal. Dune Part 2 was supposed to premiere this past week too, so we take a moment of silence to honor what will become our favorite movie of 2024.

We are live from The Lincoln Lodge this past week, recapping the past couple of weeks, which was basically Loki taking over our ENTIRE LIVES (well most of it) What an EPIC series this has been so far. From meeting new variants of Kang, to seeing Mobius explore who he truly is and of course, Loki's phenomenal growth as a character - we are nothing short of obsessed. We also discuss what we did to conclude spooky season on Halloween...

It's been a hell of a two weeks, trying to reclaim our sanity after the Ahsoka show left is in complete and utter emotional unstableness, but  we have a new show to discuss (and a few old favorite characters) to help revive us and help us get through this very trying time. LOKI Season 2 has filled the void and we honestly cannot believe how long it has been since the first season absolutely stole our hearts and introduced us to new villains and of course, that minor, yet major thing. What's it called again...? THE MULTIVERSE? Yeah, Loki Season 1 premiered BEFORE Spider-Man: No Way Home and Dr Strange : Multiverse of Madness. It is truly hard to believe how much time has passed since then, so we kindly remind you what state of mind we were in when the first season ended, which was well....unhinged of course. We also recap the first two episodes of Loki Season 2 and it has been such a wild ride so far, but one thing is for sure - Miss Minutes is still suspect. 

What happened to the past 8 weeks of our lives?! Now that we've all had a few days to process this incredible Ahsoka series, we think it's time to properly discuss the finale. We are emotional. It's been a whirlwind, reacting and breaking down each episode of Ahsoka. We knew going into this, this show was going to be something special (and that it was) We break down the final episode of Ahsoka and revisit our favorite moments of the season. We also discuss the future of Star Wars and what we think Filoni has in store next! Thanks for tuning in with us for our Ahsoka coverage. We'll be reacting to Loki next!   

We recap the penultimate episode of Ahsoka!

Sorry for the delay of this past week's episode being posted in a timely matter (technical difficulties + we honestly needed more time to cope), but we have finally broken down the latest two episodes of Ahsoka, 5 +6, and wow.....what a time we have had. Everything, everywhere all at once am I right?  We finally reunite with a long awaited old pal of ours (Rebels fans are quaking) and we meet a brand new species (I want to adopt a Noti asap) Thanks again to Christine and The Lincoln Lodge for letting us record at their amazing podcast studio! 

We break down our favorite episode in a Star Wars series ever. 

We continue our weekly breakdown of our new favorite live action series, Ahsoka (so surprise there)  The show has been nothing short of amazing, and each week we meet a new character. Whether we've seen them in the animated series or revisit popular beloved characters from the original trilogy, it's been a delight to be immersed in such an integral part of rebuilding the New Republic, post Return of the Jedi. This is the second part of a two part podcast episode. We plan to react and breakdown each Ahsoka episode. Next week, we will have a new episode of "Tipsy Nerds," featuring an Ahsoka themed cocktail!

Sorry about not posting this episode last week y'all - we had some technical difficulties (aka the MacBook shit itself and we lost the episode) ...SO HERE IT IS. The moment we've all been waiting for. The moment we've been anxiously counting down to. The Ahsoka live series show is finally here on Disney +  Haven't watched Rebels? Don't even know that much about Ahsoka? That's totally fine because we tell you EVERYTHING you need to know and catch you up on all of the major plot points to understand and be apart of the magic experience that this show already has become!  Part 2 coming tomorrow! 

We break down episodes 4 and 5 of Secret Invasion...and the tea is piping. Whose a skrull and whose a human? No one can tell. The stakes are high and Nick Fury is ready to call some old friends to help.   We also have some new Star Wars nerd news! It's almost Ahsoka time folks, so we will be entering a galaxy far far away very very soon.

Raise of hands of who has been watching Secret Invasion.  Because if you have been - this episode is for you, as we absolutely nerd out about the gritty and dark side of what the Skrulls have been up to. AND if you haven't been - this episode is even more FOR you because its a more fun version of Cliff Notes, so you don't have to watch 3 hour long episodes. Who has time to do that?!   We also touch base on the NEW SET PHOTOS of Deadpool 3. There is a hell of a lot going on, including some Magento/Wanda news we've dun been knowing.  

We finally recap two of most highly anticipated superhero movies of the year - THE FLASH AND ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE.  We have a lot to say, obviously. We've been patiently waiting for both of these movies since before covid times...and they delivered exceptionally. We also came to a pretty big conclusion as to why the DC universe met their downfall. We'll be blunt. It's Amy Adams. Listen to why we blame yet another ginger for world demise.  

We're back, after a very brief two month hiatus, with a TON of nerd news! So much has happened in both our lives and Marvel's but some things will never change, like the fact that Marvel still can not hire horrible male actors to portray their characters. DC continues to do the same. We digress (and continue to create our ultimate plan to put all men underground). Secret Invasion dropped this past week and we break the first episode down. It's definitely not going to be our favorite marvel show but damn, is it good to see Nick Fury again. Trust absolutely no one. The Skrulls are taking over.    

The ReLadies are back and ready to finally breakdown everything that happened at Star Wars Celebration and more. It's a Star Wars heavy episode, as we breakdown the season three finale of The Mandalorian, and what we expect to come with our favorite daddy and gremlin combo. Bo-Katan stole the show this season and we really can't wait to see more. Will she get a spin off series? We think it may be in the cards.. Another week, another superhero getting cancelled. It seems both Marvel and DC can not get it together. We're starting to think James Gunn had the right idea but firing everyone who previously had a role in the DC verse. It'll probably be a lot easier to not have to hire Superman, kill off Superman, rehire Superman, just to fire him. We're just as confused as you are.  Anyways, who will play Reed Richards in the upcoming Fantastic Four? We think we have the final answer for you....

This week's episode is dedicated to Grogu and Grogu only (please see title and read it in your best Yoda voice, you know the one where he says everything out of order, but sounds so full of wisdom) We're more than halfway through season three of The Mandalorian and this past week, we were probably the most emotional we've been since seeing Cad Bane in The Book of Boba Fett (can someone please pull his old ass out of the bafta tank already?!?)  We got an intimate look into Grogu's escape from Coruscant during Order 66, including the fallen jedi that were killed defending him and the jedi who saved him - none other than Master Kelleran aka Ahmad Best, who played our favorite Gungan in the prequels - Jar Jar Binks. Order 66 is never fun, yet there seems to be a dim light at the end of the tunnel and that is that more jedi may be alive and in hiding than we realize. Bo Katan is apart of Djin's crew now and we feel the tension over what ultimately must happen: where the hell is the dark saber? We also find out Moth Gideon is still alive? Easily predictable yet we're still about it.

This past week we closed the chapter on The Last of Us, with the final 9th episode and season one finale...and not a dry eye was seen for miles on end. Where have the past nine weeks gone?!? They were easily both the fastest and slowest weeks of our lives (ew, winter), yet we somehow found a way to make it to Sunday each week, just to get our Joel and Ellie content on. That 50 minutes on Sunday nights got us through an entire work week...and a cold winter in the midwest. We break down the season finale of The Last of Us, compare scenes from the game vs. this final episode, and elaborate on what we think is to come for Seasons Two (and three hopefully!!) We're still pretty early on in season three of The Mandalorian and it seems like this week they made a visit to the Andor writing room. Is there a Bo-Katan and Djin budding romance going on or are we imagining things? Either way, we're not complaining.  

We're finally back...after being asleep the entire month of February!   

We made it to Episode 60....and what an episode it is. We recap Episode 2 and 3 of our new favorite tv show - The Last of Us - and cry whilst doing so. This is your final warning: do not listen to this episode if you are not caught up on the epic tale of Joel and Ellie yet. We spoil literally everything in this episode, but make in fun even though everyone is dying and infected by a dumb fungus.    

2023 is off to quite the start! This week we have a lot of nerd news and gossip that we just can't contain ourselves over!

The Relatable Nerds are back on their bullshit. Join hosts Ilsa and Kyra in their discussions on Last of Us hype, upcoming Phase 5 Marvel shows and movies, and their ideas for the Blade movie...just re-release the original Blade Trilogy... The nerds are stunned when they heard that Adam Driver is rumored to play Mr. Fantastic in the upcoming Fantastic 4 movie. What's next? IS BERNIE SANDERS PRESIDENT? Silly nerds, Bernie Sanders will always be our president. The self-proclaimed Porg Champs also recap the latest episodes of The Bad Batch, 1-3!  Join us next week as we continue our Bad Batch Talk and recap the first episode of The Last of Us!!!! Joel, Will you be my daddy, baby?

We're fashionably late to 2023 per usual. Who even counts the first week of the new year? The correct answer (if you're us and live in a cold seasonal climate) is no one. From Ezra Miller's antics to the release of Dr. Strange, to the Don't Worry Darling drama and Harry Styles' acting skills, and our favorite shows of the year - Obi Wan Kenobi and Moon Knight - we had many highs and many lows. Underneath it all, we just continued to distract ourselves from the outside world by hyper focusing on our nerd news. Thank you so much for your continued support throughout the past years. Its been a wild ride and 2022 truly showed us that we have such an amazing audience, that expands all around the world, that is hard to fathom sometimes.  Here's to 2023. It's time for the Relatable world takeover. You guys in?!

We can't believe this is the final episode (for now) of us discussing Andor. How did the past 12 weeks fly by so quickly? It feels like we've been waiting for Andor for literal years and just like that....its over.  But worry not. Andor will be returning for a second season sometime in 2024 we predict! Apparently this will lead directly into Rogue One as well, so it will be absolutely intense and we're not even remotely close to being ready to say goodbye to our Cassian. We also review the Guardians Christmas special! Please give a warm welcome to Kevin Bacon (as himself) to the MCU. He killed it. This is a must watch, especially this holiday season.  There's A LOT of trailers out this week as well. We review our favs and have some special nerd news updates.   Thanks for tuning in! 

Sorry for our brief hiatus - it was Halloween week and we were celebrating our favorite holiday of the year. Some people do birthday months (we also partake) - we do Halloween all year round, but the month of October is the busiest of our lives....and the week Halloween hits - forget it!  We have the ultimate Star Wars nerd news roundup this week, with a final cast announcement for the upcoming show, "The Acolyte," which takes place 200 years before The Phantom Menace and during the fall of the High Republic. If this means nothing to you yet - we got you covered and explain what could potentially go down in this incredible series! This week's Andor episode was suspenseful and heartbreaking. What a privilege it is to finally watch women lead the rebellion in such vast and different ways. The levels to this show are so powerful and we could honestly go on and on about how inspiring it is to see women of color fight the fight we have all been fighting our entire lives. Kudos to you Star Wars - consider us even more in debt to you.

On This Week's Episode of Relatable Nerds,  Ilsa and Kyra get to discuss three different nerd shows!  The penultimate episode of She-Hulk took both of our nerds on an exciting journey, finally getting to see the hottie that has been teased since before the show even premiered! After that, it's off to Aldhani to hang out with our old pal, Cassian AKA Clem! He's still chilling with Chef Richie from The Bear. COUSINNNNNN!!!!!! Meanwhile, our favorite Senator Mon Motha is experiencing some friction with her family.  As always, we love to our episode with some HOT D!  House of the Dragon that is, and this episode was full of twists and turns, but the biggest twist of the episode was the semi-happy ending for Rhaenyra, Daemon, Laenor and Qarl??? Unfortunately we did have some recording issues this episode, but luckily it happened toward the end of the recording session, and we are saved by some quick recapping to finish out the House of The Dragon recap! Thanks for waiting for this episode and can't wait to bring you next weeks!     

This week we have three different shows to break down and we waste no time getting into in depth breakdowns of She Hulk, House of the Dragon and *please welcome to the podcast* ANDOR!!!! While we really do enjoy discussing the insane amount of mutants and tidbits they're bringing into She-Hulk and all of the gossip going down in Westeros, we have been patiently awaiting the arrival of one of our favorite Star Wars characters, Cassian Andor. Our Latino king, Diego Luna, has reprised his role, alongside an extremely talented cast, with a BORICUA in the mix as well (that means Puerto Rican for all you uncultured folk)  There was a pretty massive time jump in House of the Dragon, with a serious change of actors and quite a few deaths in this past episode. It's getting gritty.  We may have skipped nerd news this week, but wow - we got you covered in catching up with all of the nerd content if you haven't had the chance to watch all 4 episodes of Andor, 6 episodes of House of the Dragon and 7 episodes of She-Hulk. We weren't lying when we were saying its overwhelming.....  

While the nerd news may be light this week, our weekly recaps of the television series we've been following have not. The much anticipated wedding of Rhaenyra and Laenor took place in this week's episode of House of the Dragon and if we've learned anything from Game of Thrones, it's that - weddings never end well. There's always drama, someone is always acting way too sinister than they should be and you honestly don't know which character you should be paying attention to the most. We dive right into an extensive *spoiler* analysis of what went down in Westeros this past week. We're only a few episodes out from the finale of She-Hulk and praying for a name change (spoiler alert: its not going to happen) Jennifer Walters honestly deserves a name that she sees fit. I mean, even Shrek's wife got her own name: Fiona. She wasn't just called, "She-Shrek." How rude. Next week we'll be full send with our deep dive into what will probably be one of our favorite shows of all time - Andor. Diego Luna is back baby. Latinos al frent! Vámos! 

Pour yourself a tall glass of wine, perhaps a full mason jar of water or just have a bottle of whiskey ready because it's going to be a news packed episode, with some jaw dropping headlines and the arrival of many Marvel confirmed rumors/upcoming storylines of our favorite villains and superheroes. If you've been listening to Relatable for the past almost two years now however, you probably already know a lot of these now confirmed rumors were already predicted by yours truly a long time ago. #dunbeenknowin So, you're welcome and hello to everyone at Disney studios. We know you're keeping tabs on us, especially now because of how much you're incorporating Wong in She-Hulk and creating a character who was directly inspired by us (Madison).  We're about to enter Star Wars season, as the arrival of Andor is in just a week and Tales of the Jedi soon after that. Early 2023, we're getting season 3 of our favorite daddy (Mando...duh) and Ahsoka! *heavy breathing* Our bodies are ready to hibernate and marathon the prequels in preparation.  House of the Dragon continues to be the most epic show on television. We deep dive into all of the drama that's going down, and how hot Daemon looks with that new haircut. Can the grand maester get this guy a potion though? He can't seem to finish things, if you know what we mean..  

This past month, Kyra got to sit down with legendary creator, creative, artist, director, producer (and the list goes on because she is literally a superhero) - Kayden Phoenix!  Kayden is the creator of the first Latina superhero team in comic book history, "A La Brava," which showcases a team of fierce women, who all tell a story of fighting against female injustices.  Kayden is also the founder of Chicana Directors Initiative, a non profit for Latina directors in the film industry, which aims to immerse members into sustainable careers in the entertainment industry with fair representation and equal pay. We told you she's a superhero and we're not wrong.  Kayden is a third generation Chicana from East L.A., who puts her direct childhood influences of her mother and grandmother into her art. Whether it's the native dance of folkrico or the influence of Jalisco in her life, you can see the love she has for her native roots in every aspect of her life. We are huge fans of everything Kayden does and are so grateful we got to chat with her about her art! 

The nerd tea is piping hot this week and our jaws were to the floor trying to keep up with everything that's been going on.  Whether its Shia Labeauf trying to live in his redemption era and exposing Olivia Wilde, to Abomination escaping from prison, to Rhaenyra being a badass and solving all the problems by arriving fashionably late via dragon - we had a busy week trying to stop on top of it all.  We also got to watch a sneak peak of Andor, the upcoming Star Wars show that will release September 21st with three episodes!  Brace yourself for an episode full of upcoming nerd news you will not want to miss! Thanks for tuning in.  

Meanwhile in Chicago... The temperature has dropped ten degrees, we've started to dust off our hoodies from the back of our closets, and the sun seems to be setting earlier, at a rapid rate, as the days go on. Folks, we are wrapping up what is arguably the best season Chicago has to offer - fare thee well summer. You were pretty fun this time around. Dare we say this felt like an almost normal summer, since before Covid times?  However, we are entering what is arguably another great season Chicago gives us - fall! Spooky season is just around the corner, as well as SO MANY tv shows we can't wait to dive right into and nerd out about. Just this past week, we got to watch the premiere episode of the much anticipated, She-Hulk (which did not disappoint). We also got to return to Westeros with House of the Dragon - and let me tell ya, we are very very very excited and thrilled to be back amongst the dragons and our favorite problematic family of blondes. Oh, those Targaryens; we do a full deep dive into episode 1 and where we think this inaugural season will take us. As of right now, House of the Dragon has officially been renewed for a second season, which just gives us mega nerds even more reason to nerd out for what we could potentially see in years to come.  We'll be recording weekly now leading into the winter! Andor is up next y'all. Its about to get good...

This past weekend San Diego Comic Con took over everyone's social media and decided to nearly put us in cardiac arrest over all of the incredibly exciting Marvel news (and there were others obviously - but the MCU definitely came prepared) Unfortunately your favorite podcasters were not able to attend (us...duh) BUT despite our extreme fomo and depression over not being there to cry live to the Wakanda Forever trailer with everyone at that panel - we still decided to dedicate an entire episode to what went down at the biggest comic convention all year. Is Daredevil returning to the MCU sooner than we think? We have a new She-Hulk trailer that looks like a blast, a Fantastic Four official release date, as well as BLADE, SECRET WARS, AND SO MANY MORE. The limit does not exist for nerd news, however our lives are getting pretty worn thin at this point. We only thought we had to make it to May of this year for Obi Wan but the odds are against us now. Thanks for listening. 

This past weekend, we were lucky enough to record Episode 46 live at one of our favorite comic cons - Fan Expo! Chicago, you did not disappoint us and we are SO grateful for everyone who came to our show, chatted with us after and have supported this podcast since the beginning. We couldn't do it without you! We created a new segment for Thor Love and Thunder this episode, where we took our favorite reviews from multiple publications - and then reviewed their review! Thor has daddy issues and big golden retriever energy, while Gorr the God Butcher is Voldemort reincarnated!  The nerd news was heavy this week too. We have a sequel coming to Game of Thrones, that will dive into our favorite bastard's life on the wall (poor guy) and we have more exciting news about Andor! 

A moment of silence for all nerds the past two weeks - (because of the onslaught of nerd news, shows, movies and everything in between) Its a lot to balance to say the least. And if you're like us, you need at least 3 business days to process each week's Obi Wan episode. Our lives will never be the same after Episode 5 of the series, so naturally we deep dive into what is one of the greatest episodes of Star Wars media ever. Fight us. Ms. Marvel also debuted on Disney+ last week and we're ready to see what the MCU keeps developing with the next wave of young avengers. Its a breath of fresh air, times are changing, summer is here - and we're still immensely grateful you're with us too. Thanks for listening! 

Reporting Live From The Gutter... Kyra is back from Star Wars celebration! ... And Ilsa is still weird.  In this episode Ilsa and Kyra talk NEVER BEFORE SEEN Star Wars CELEBRATION FOOTAGE including brand new trailers for The Bad Batch Season 2, Mandalorian Season 3, and the new prequel series, Andor.  Of course, this wouldn't be a Star Wars episode if we didn't do our own recap of the first THREE episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi.  Lots of sprinklings of Drake and Dune talk throughout! Enjoy!!  

Its officially hot nerd girl summer in Chicago and the sun is out after 42 days of darkness in Chicago (we're not kidding, look it up) This past week we got to FINALLY see Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Sam Raimi did not disappoint! We break down his horror influence over the movie, how epic Wanda was AND how America Chavez has stole our hearts completely. Some of our predictions also ended up coming true. *heavy spoiler alert* We break down the Moon Knight season finale as well, which was nothing short of emotional. What an epic show. We already miss Stephen and Marc...and even Jake kind of. Thank you so much for your support and tuning in to our podcast. Don't forget to check out our Youtube channel for trailer and tv show reactions and breakdowns.

What a week for nerds! Happy day after Easter! Harry Styles has risen! Young Dumbledore stole our hearts this week in the latest Fantastic Beasts movie, Morby was a bad boy and didn't live up to expectations and we got a brand new Thor: Love and Thunder trailer! Talk about a hell of a tease, we actually got a split second first look of Natalie Portman as Lady Thor.  Are you watching Moon Knight? If not, we're judging you but also we got you. We recap up to this week's upcoming episode drop - and for only a 6 episode series, there is a lot going on. Marc Spector has our hearts

It's been a minute! Sorry for our brief hiatus, but we've been incredibly busy with work picking up and moving. Adulting really isn't fun...unless you're talking about Moon Knight to your pal, which is exactly what this episode entails.    Hollywood was in shambles this past week. Superhero's are getting exposed, people are getting slapped - everyone probably just needs another quarantine so they can chill and take a break from people for a second. We totally get that karaoke bars are triggering for some (plz don't ever choose a country song) but that's what weed is for. Take several chill pills Ezra Miller. Violence is never the answer.   A new trailer for Dr Strange dropped this past week and we're just about a month away until we get into some more multiverse shenanigans. May is shaping up to be a great month. 

February was a blur and we're already 10 days into March.  Hibernation season is almost over and its time to take off the blankets and layers, and get the hell out of bed (just kidding...we'll always make time for DC tv shows) We made it to Episode 40! 40 is a great number, the age of peak life and attractiveness and apparently the episode we get to THANK YOU x a million for helping us reach 1000+ subscribers on our Youtube channel this past week! We love you. Thanks for hanging out with us week after week and listening to our shenanigans.  SO MUCH NERD NEWS. We were finally blessed with the Obi Wan trailer and it was absolutely breathtaking. We will never be over it.  Our much anticipated DC movies have been pushed back until 2023 (The Flash, Aquaman, Black Adam), Dune Part 2 casting news (Hello Yelena), and there's a panic in central park, I mean Kraven the Hunter, because our fav, Heroin Charlie from the tv show Girls has entered the nerd world. We are ready. Cheers!

A list of the reasons why we watch the Super Bowl:  1) the trailers the end. Oh, and Joe Burrow. Duh. And the unlimited amount of alcohol one can consume without being judged.   But seriously you guys, we were not ready for all of the incredible trailers released! Dr. Strange In the Multiverse of Madness (holy shit), Jurassic Park (holy shittt), Moon Knight (oh my lanta) and many more. We recap them all for you.  Arguably one of the best Star Wars episodes ever came out this past few weeks featuring our very own Luke Skywalker and THE BABY, our sweet little green goblin, Grogu. Not to mention our favorite cowboy, Cad MF Bane! The Book of Boba Fett finished strong and set the tone for the upcoming Star Wars shows we are counting down the days to.  Also if you really wanna taste it - we end our episode with a recap of our favorite show, Peacemaker. James Gunn is truly a legend. Wig Wam is getting a whole lot of royalties right about now.

Between Peacemaker and The Book of Boba Fett (and a shit ton of other tv shows), we've had quite the exciting January. Its honestly perfect timing, since January is the only month out of the year where no one judges you if you sleep on your couch every night or become a hermit (we see you trying not to drink, New Years Resolution people)  We obviously are not capable of giving up alcohol. We both have tried, but it is not our battle to fight. Maybe Boba or Marty Byrde can take over for us. However, we are exceptional at sleeping during the day and staying up all night.  ....and we kind of go back to our vampire roots with some fun (and very random) nerdy news. Why is it everyone we love has once played a vampire? Hmmmm....  

*CALLING ALL STAR WARS NERDS*  We are finally in our new Star Wars era. The Book of Boba Fett is halfway through its season, the Rogue One spin off show Andor is up to premiere next, and of course, Obi Wan is also set to premiere later this year. We're ready and nowhere near ready at the same time, but to set the mood, we figured - why not invited some fellow Star Wars nerds onto the show?! The creators of "Behind the Bucket : A Midwest Garrison Story" are here to chat with us about their new documentary about the 501st Midwest Legion and their incredible acts of service to the Star Wars community and many others. We cover the behind the scenes of the movie, what the 501st is all about and our favorite parts of the Star Wars galaxy. Of course we have some opening remarks, in which we discuss our perfect, future Utopia we plan on starting. Listen up if you want in.
