    On this episode, it gets way too real as we fuel our existentialist depression with a movie that hits closer to home than it did in 2008, Wall-E. Joined by our guest Tyler, we contemplate what fictional universe we'd want to live in, where we discover that Tyler and Syd just want peace and to be able to chill, while Casey wants to commit vigilante justice.

    On this unedited, double-length episode of the Nerd Herd, we're joined by our honorary cohost Tyler to discuss the end game of all super hero movies, Avengers: Infinity War. We do a deep dive into the insanity that is the 10 year buildup of all the Marvel franchises, including if the humor was done well despite the painful losses, how brilliant the story-boarding must have been (though we still hate Marvel's CGI) and if Thanos is sexually active.Send us an email!thenerdherdemail@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!@nerdherdpodcast@acrazycase (Casey)@sydically (Syd)@wig_in_space (Tyler)Don't forget to subscribe on iTunes and leave us a review!
