With more Spider-People to shake a Spot at, this one is sure to generate a canoan event or two, so take a listen before we promptly exit with a sudden cliffhanger!

Well, that happened. After years of turmoil, The Flash finally made it to the big screen in his own live action solo movie… but did anyone see it? We did, so dive into the SpeedForce with us and see if we can change the timeline for the better. Michael Keaton! Two Barry Allens? Justice League Cameos! Bad CGI on purpose? Giant Spiders! And more Easter Eggs you can throw a SuperJew at. So, come with us on a journey into Box Office Bomb Territory and help discover the secret of why so many DC characters seem to have the same names. “Nora!” Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

That's right, we have returned! Okay, it's not from the Quantum Realm, but UNT is back to review Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania (brother). If you were wondering what S.U.P.E.R.J.E.W. stood for, why Cassie looks different or just how many holes we have, look no further as we dive ooze-first into our latest podcast, where we discuss the latest installment of the MCU. Was this movie as disappointing as the critics say? Or is it building to something with a rarely-seen nuance and subtlety not often present in the MCU? Will Kevin finally stop calling Bill Murray, and is Michelle Pfeiffer still white gold? To find out, kick back and exile yourself with us and the Dynasty of UNTs (no we didn't leave out a letter).

Just in time for the Holiday Season, we caught up with two recent additions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Black Panther: Wakanda Forever & The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special! How did Marvel handle the untimely passing of Chadwick Boseman? Pretty respectfully, we thought, but did the mantle of Black Panther end up with the right person? Also, what exactly is the GOTG Holiday Special meant to be? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out! Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

Get ready to smash through courtrooms and the fourth wall with our review of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. How does a single woman navigate life in the MCU as a courtroom lawyer, while dealing with her new Hulk powers? These are the questions raised by the latest Marvel show, that dared to be a little too comic book accurate for some folks. But also... Is it as bad as they say it is? Has it “ruined” the MCU? How much fourth wall breaking is too much? And which cameo was your favorite? Find out the answers to these (and many more) questions as we embark on our own mustard-and-ketchup walk of shame to review ­She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.

A spin-off, a prequel, a sequel… only the very best with just the right amount of dirty. You know what to do… Better Call Saul! With Better Call Saul now joining Breaking Bad by sailing off into the television sunset, we decided to pop a cork on a bottle of Zafiro and reminisce over one of the greatest shows to ever be on TV. How does it compare to Breaking Bad? How does it connect to Breaking Bad? Are there any questions about this show NOT related to Breaking Bad? Well, slip on your finest bright-colored suit and join us in the desert (or under the lab) for UNT 143. Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

How do you reinvent the Predator franchise while still paying tribute to all that's come before? Well, they found a way. From the epic landscapes to the simplistic-yet-effective storytelling, hear what we had to say about this film and why it was a pleasant surprise in a world full of terrible reboots / sequels.

Once again we dive into the colorful and calamitous world of Taika Waititi and his wacky (or is that too wacky?) take on everyone's favorite god of capentry… sorry, Thunder, with a new fourth entry into the Thor franchise. Natalie Portman returns, as does a host of fan-fav characters, whether it's Thor, or Gorr, or Korg… note to Marvel: some non-rhyming names might be in order next time.

With the Multiverse of Madness on its way, we used the power of the Time Stone to go back and correct a mistake to finally review the MCU movie from 2016, Doctor Strange. Benedict Cumberbatch and Stephen Strange have since become a mainstay in the MCU, but this is where it all started. We covered sorcerers, sling rings, the difference between dimensions, realities and universes, as well as taking a look to the future to what the new Doctor Strange film might unlock. Most of all, we want Bruce Campbell. Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

Yet another comic book reboot has landed upon us, but is this one any good? Opinions are mixed, but we decided to dive cowl-first into The Batman. A new psychopathic version of The Riddler... an obsessive, detective Batman... non-Catwoman Selina Kyle and more flying rats that you can poke a Batarang at, this movie was so full of comic book lore, we spent almost the full runtime discussing it. So before you join the ‘ugly actors need roles too' picket line, chill out at the Iceberg Lounge and take a listen to our latest episode. Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

Before we return to Gotham, it's time to grab your helmet and hug your eagle as we take a look at the new DC / HBO series: Peacemaker. What do you do if you're a former pro-wrestler looking to nab a breakout role in a hit comic book franchise? Apparently, you go to James Gunn. We discussed this aspect of John Cena's new superhero career as well as falling into many of our usual tangents, including what exactly makes a butterfly a butterfly, how best to create an opening titles sequence for your new show and of course, what Aquaman really does with all those fish. So find your chainsaw and check out episode 135 of Unfunny Nerd Tangent. Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: 'Fish Lover' Tim Agne (@timagne).

Come with us as we return to that galaxy far, far away and open up The Book of Boba Fett. Boba Fett has always held a special place in many Star Wars fans' hearts, and rumors of his own live-action story has been around longer than the sandpeople have roamed the desert. So with Season One now concluded, we took a closer look at this legendary bounty hunter and his recent adventures. Fennec! Rancors! Runaway trains! Jedi! The Dark Saber! Thundercat! Cobb Vanth! Flashdance! And the live action debut of Cad Bane! All of this and more on the latest Unfunny Nerd Tangent. Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

Season 4 of Cobra Kai has come and gone, so while we wait for certain bounty hunters and peacemakers to complete their seasons, we took a look at the most recent entry into everyone's favorite karate saga. In a season marked by shades of gray, we pondered which new characters we found entertaining, which old rivalries may have become stale, and also dared to ask: does every character on this show need a redemption arc? Find out the answers and more as we return to the blue mats to strike first with Cobra Kai: Season 4. Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: ‘SuperJew' Jared Robinovitz (@SuperJew75) & Mateo Morales (@matt_morales). Music by: Leo Birenberg.

The MCU train just keeps on rolling, this time with another Disney+ series, Hawkeye. So grab your quiver of trick arrows and get ready to dive in… While we break in the New Year by taking a closer look at nobody's favorite Avenger, we got a few pleasant surprises. Clint Barton deals with the aftermath of Endgame as well as several other PTSD-inducing moments, all while struggling to mentor a headstrong, young sidekick. If you like LARPing, this might not be the podcast for you, but rest assured, we discussed the surprises and set-ups this latest series had to offer, including the return of Yelena, new character, Echo, a Salamanca who may-or-may-not be the Swordsman, and of course… everyone's MVP when it comes to that Netflix universe. (No, Tim, it's not Vanessa.) So after you've sat through your matinee of Rogers: The Musical, check out UNT 132: Hawkeye. ‘Cause we can do this all day.

Well, it finally happened. Universes collided when Spider-Man: No Way Home was recently released, and we're here to deliver all the spoilerific goodness. How many legacy characters can you spot? Is the MCU / Netflix war over? What's up with the sling ring? And can J. Jonah Jameson really teach Reed Richards to play the drums?

After a divisive first part, Masters of the Universe: Revelation returns with its final five episodes, so we decided to see what all the fuss (if any) was about. We welcomed back 'Alpha Magnus' Toby Hixon and newcomer, Dave Kindler from Tom Servo's Used Robots to discuss Kevin Smith's new marketing approach, Hulk Adam, HeVil-Lyn, equity casting and of course, battle boners.

After several delays, Marvel's latest movie, Eternals, is finally here. But what did we think? Is this movie the new Age of Ultron? Is it a landmark new direction for the MCU and comic book films in general? Or is it a bland, slow-paced slog? Better check Rotten Tomatoes. Oh, wait. No, don't. Either way, we discussed this movie and several of its talking points, and still aren't sure exactly what to think, besides all the accidental Game of Thrones references. So get ready for your own Emergence as we welcome back Mike Seibert from Mike Seibert Radio to join us on Episode 129: Eternals. Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: 'Tinkerbell' Tim Agne (@timagne), 'Superjew' Jared Robinovitz (@Superjew75) and Mike Seibert (@MikeSibertRadio). Music by: The Bangles & Pink Floyd.

As the MCU brings us yet another show to consume, we decided to dive into the multiverse to not only ponder the question, but also review the new Disney + series – What If…? We took a look at what might happen if Agent Carter took the super serum, T'Challa became a Star Lord, Ultron, Yellowjacket and Killmonger won, Doctor Strange lost his heart, Dude Bro Thor and of course… zombies. Lots of zombies. Not to mention, the multitude of other unwieldly inquiries, such as why wasn't Carol worthy, is Andrew W.K. the new Howard the Duck, and could Tom Cruise kick Jared's ass? Find out the answers to these mysteries and many more, as UNT dares to ask – What If…? Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

The MCU continues to expand with yet another hit movie, Shang Chi & The Legend of the Ten Rings. This episode, your bus-driving UNT team dives into the movie feet fist, pondering what it means for the greater MCU in general, alongside the perils of a modern day Fu Manchu, the mystery of Fin Fang Foom and more potential mispronunciations that you can shake a dragon scale at. Now, excuse us, we have to go to Karaoke. Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

After years of build-up, Kevin Smith and Netflix finally released Part 1 of Masters of the Universe: Revelation, to mixed reviews (to say the least) and a storm of controversy. So we assembled the greatest heroes and villains from across the UNTiverse to rate and review this new show in epic fashion. If you weren't up to speed on the current controversy, then buckle up your Roton, because we went in harder than a Land Shark looking for its next sacrificial Trollan. But beyond all that, we managed to review the show on its merits and boy, if you thought tangents were our thing before, get ready to unleash your inner Sorceress as we found ourselves discussing the possibility of Tri-Klops going on tour with Black Flag, a world where Jason Mewes or even Don Knotts could have been He-Man, Macho Mer-Man Randy Savage, why you should never touch Cringer's stapler and yes, the secret origins of Wun-Dar. Oh yeah, and THAT Sailor Moon mash-up. So break into Snake Mountain, avoid the Stinkors and get ready to embrace the “power” that is UNT 124: Masters of the Universe – Revelation. Figures sold separately. Hosted by: 'Lord of Destruction' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

With more variants than you can poke a pruning baton at, the MCU continues to expand with the new television series, Loki. We delved into the secret files of the TVA to find the answers to this mysterious show, and were still left with questions about its glorious purpose. But we did find Throg, and Tim brought Josta for everyone! We may have had some divided opinions on this show, but one thing is for sure – this marks the beginning of a whole new chapter for the MCU, and its branching effects will be felt for years to come, until Jared is left alone at the end of time. Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Wanda, Kang and yes, even Mephisto are discussed on this unfortunately Jet ski-free podcast. So, unless you're a robot (and don't know it), step into the Void and listen to UNT 123: Loki. Just watch out for Alioth. Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: 'Josta' Tim Agne (@timagne) & 'Superjew' Jared Robinovitz (@Superjew75). Music by: Natalie Holt.

It's been a long time coming, but the MCU is back on the big screen! Phase Four kicks off in Budapest style with the release of Black Widow. We squeezed our dad bods into our old superhero suits to sit down and discuss the long-awaited MCU solo movie for Scarlet Johansson and the Black Widow character, daring to try and connect the dots between Dr. Claw, Seinfeld, Red Hulk and broken noses with nothing more than an unhealthy amount pockets and posing. Was this movie the grand swan song Black Widow deserved? Or are you a mysoginistic, toxic man-baby? Maybe somewhere in between. Either way... crack the code, inhale that red mist and enjoy UNT 122: Black Widow. Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: 'The Real Taskmaster' Tim Agne (@timagne), 'Superjew' Jared Robinovitz (@Superjew75) & Mateo Morales (@Matt_Morales). Music by: Iggy Azalea.

Big Trouble in Little China turns 35 this year, so when some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye and asks you if you paid your dues; you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that... “Have you paid your dues, Jack? Yes, sir. The check is in the mail.” So you see, we're not saying that we've been everywhere and done everything. But we do know it's a pretty amazing planet we live on here, and a man would have to be some kind of fool to think we're all alone in this (podcasting) universe, which means for episode 121, we welcome back Caleb from the Autopod Decepticast, Neo from the Mat Mania Podcast and Mike Seibert from Mike Seibert Radio. That's right, so on a dark and stormy night, just sit back and remember what good old Unfunny Nerd Tangent does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, we just look that big ol' storm right square in the eye and say, “Give us your best shot, pal. We can take it. Because we've reviewed the classic John Carpenter, Kurt Russell movie… Big Trouble in Little China.” Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

What do you do when the internet in Arizona is under siege by an alien probe of unknown origins? You slingshot around the sun with a look back at Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. The fourth entry into the Star Trek series of films has reached its 35th anniversary, so along with Caleb from the Autopod Decepticast, Greig took a quick look back at what is regarded as many people's favourite Star Trek movie, if not technically the 'greatest'. **cough** Wrath of Khan **cough** The return of jovial James T. Kirk, time-travel, punk rock, nuclear wessels, Dark Age medicine and most of all... whales! This movie has it all.

Another cartoon? Yep, but this one isn’t what you think. Cue the splatter, it’s time to talk Invincible. What do you get when you cross The Walking Dead with Booster Gold, thrown together with some graphic violence that would make Rorschach blush, garnished by a mustachioed man who used to run a newspaper, talk to bats and is obsessed with tempo? You get the new hit animated series by Robert Kirkman, based on that comic your in-the-know-friend has been bugging you to read for years. This one’s more than a little bloody, so unless you’re allergic to air, check out our new Invincible episode before you Rex Splode! Hosted by: 'Attack of the Omni-Dad' Tim Agne (@timagne).

Are you ready for another Mortal Kombat movie? Neither were we, but we reviewed it anyway. So "Get Over Here!" and check it out! We'd like to say we all sat down and eloquently discussed the cultural impact that the groundbreaking Mortal Kombat had on early nineties video games, a legacy that holds true even today... but mostly we talked about Fatalities and how awesome Kano was. So if you like murder, revenge, supernatural activity, weird characters, ungodly creatures and brutal violence, please follow us Twitter (@unfunnNtangent). In the meantime, check out our latest episode: Mortal Kombat. Hosted by: 'Kano' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

Are you a Falcon, a Winter Soldier, a U.S. Agent or a Flag Smasher? Well, if you watched the latest Disney+ / Marvel Television show, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, you might be a little of everything. We know we are. If you're ready for the new Captain America (and more Marvel Easter eggs than you can poke a vibranium shield at) then get ready to boogie like Zemo into this new episode of Unfunny Nerd Tangent. We take a look at all the goings on of the new series, including what it means to be Captain America, what it takes to deprogram a Winter Soldier, father-son MCU connections and of course, how Carl Lumbly walks between two worlds.

We pull out all the stops as we react to the climax of the cinematic MonsterVerse: Godzilla Vs Kong! In the mighty tradition of Alien Vs Predator, Freddy Vs Jason and of course... Batman V Superman, comes the tip-touching titans that will not stop, no matter how much splash-back is involved.

It's finally here. After four years and one really annoying hashtag, DC, Warner Bros. and HBO released the Snyder Cut, now forever known as Zack Snyder's Justice League. A (four hour) movie we thought we'd never see. But is it any good? For this 'Agne Cut' of a movie we've already reviewed, we formed a League of our own when Tim, Jared and Greig sat down with Aussie Top 3's Stacey, Mike from Mike Seibert Radio and Melissa from We Binge On Crime to discuss not only the changes, additions and improvements that Zack Snyder restored in his vision, but how this version of the film came into existence in the first place. Aspect ratios, deleted scenes, reshoots and of course, reach around jokes... it's all here. So slip on your black suit and get comfortable, then check out Episode 115 of Unfunny Nerd Tangent. We promise it's shorter than the movie. (Just.) Hosted by: 'Granny Goodness' Tim Agne (@timagne).

What is UNT if not podcasting persevering? That’s right, we watched WandaVision (and so did you) so we put together an Avengers-level crossover to talk about it. What did the MCU do for their first ever television series? Did they play it safe? Give us a bunch of comic book splash page images, or bring in a bunch of big-name supervillains like Magneto, Doctor Doom or, wait for it… Mephisto? Despite the rumors, not really. But what they did do was deliver an outstanding take on depression, loss and grief with that magic Marvel touch, so you better believe we reviewed it in all its Hex-altered glory. Mega Ran and Rok from the MatMania Podcast returned to our show to talk all about Westview, Wanda (and funnily enough, Vision), not to mention that X-Men appearance and of course – The Scarlet Witch.

With a sequel only weeks away, (and let’s face it, everyone is running out of Netflix to watch) we took a look back at the smash hit 1988 comedy from Eddie Murphy: Coming to America. How many tangents can we go on in a single episode? More than you can shake your rose petals at. From the origins of Eddie Murphy playing multiple roles in his films, McDonald’s Vs. McDowell’s and the new version of The Stand, to the specific way that hair is NOT cut and drums are NOT hit in this movie, not to mention the genius that is Randy Watson… this one has it all. Just don’t mention Rocky Marciano. So let your Soul Glo and check out UNT 113: Coming to America. Hosted by: ‘King of Queens... land’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: ‘SuperJew’ Jared Robinovitz (@SuperJew75) & 'Rocky Marciano' Tim Agne (@timagne). Music by: Nile Rodgers & Soul Glo.

Cobra Kai is back with its third season, so of course we donned our headbands to review and relive its nostalgic goodness. Brave your Vietnam flashbacks and high-school-battle PTSD, return to Okinawa and reopen your Facebook account, since this season had more to dissect that you can throw a big, red mohawk at. Returning favorites like Chozen, Kumiko and of course, Alli with an i helped fill the gap left by Aisha and Stingray. But what about our classic characters like Johnny, Daniel, Miguel and Sam? Not to mention, Kreese and newly christened bad-boy, Robbie? How did the season unfold for them, and what’s their future look like in the upcoming Season 4? Well, we came up with some badass (and not so badass) ideas, so jump on and check out episode 112 of Unfunny Nerd Tangent. Now… “Send it to the Internet…” Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: ‘SuperJew’ Jared Robinovitz (@SuperJew75) & Mateo Morales (@matt_morales).

The world is in all kinds of chaos right now, and just wishing it all away won’t solve anything. Or will it? This is the quandary we found ourselves in when we reviewed and debated the new movie, Wonder Woman 1984. Recent events may have forced this movie’s release to be different than most. But, does that matter? Does the theater experience compare to watching at home, or is this movie really as bad as the critics say it is? Along with our very own Wonder Woman, Stacey, we grabbed our lassos of truth and dived in faster than a spelunking Amazon. Is Maxwell Lord a poor man’s Lex Luthor? Did Barbara need to go full Cheetah? What is up with Alastair, and why is Steve Trevor Quantum Leaping? To find out, make a wish and enjoy Episode 111 of Unfunny Nerd Tangent: Wonder Woman 1984. (Parachute pants not included.) Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

SPOILERS, kids... Look out into space: It’s an X-Wing, it’s a glove, it’s a green lightsaber! The Mandalorian is back with another stellar season that proves you can please old and new fans alike (sorry, JJ & Rian). Our resident Jedi and Star Wars expert, Flo, returns along with new Foundling, Rok from the Mat Mania Podcast to discuss the new Mandalorian season, including a host of new characters, fan favorites brought to life for the first time and of course… that final episode that broke the internet (and a few marriages). How do Joe Chill, Olyfantastic and Kyle Reese tie into the Star Wars Universe? Does that Jedi look like the chick from Mooby’s to you? Did Mayfeld shoot first? And do you prefer matte paint on your Mandalorian armor? Dragons, deep fakes, Dark Sabers and Dark Troopers, not to mention, so much more, coming to you from a galaxy far, far away with Episode 110 of Unfunny Nerd Tangent.

One of the most comic-accurate movies of all time is now 30 years old, so we decided to celebrate the Holidays by fighting in the 'old style', and look back at the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If this episode reminds you of something that happened years ago in Japan, it’s because we removed the penicillin from your pizza and kept those Sony payments at bay, to instead meditate on this revolutionary film from three decades ago that certainly wasn’t some cartoon. And if you don’t understand cricket… we’ll teach you. Structurally speaking, this one has it all - It slices, it dices, it makes French Fries in three different ways but still manages to go on unfunny, nerdy tangents faster than you can ninja-kick a damn rabbit. So check out Episode 109: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Unless you’re some kind of punker. Man, we hate punkers. Hosted by: ‘Captain Cricket’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: 'SuperShredder' Jared Robinovitz (@superjew75), 'Moonlighting' Joshua Schlag (@schlizzag / @thesteelcage), 'Master' Neo Ecks (@theneoecks) and Danny 'It's just Dan now' Schlag (@dannyschlag).

Despite reshoots, a corporate takeover and more release dates that you can shake a dragon puppet at, the movie we thought might never see the light of day has arrived: The New Mutants. Join us and our guest, Mike Seibert from Mike Seibert Radio in Limbo, as we rate, review and Rasputin this movie, which promises to be the final entry into the Fox X-Men Universe. Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: 'Lockheed' Tim Agne (@timagne) & Mike Seibert (@MikeSibertRadio). Music by: Pilot & Pink Floyd.

Unfunny Nerd Tangent returns just in time for the festive season to discuss not one but two classics – Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Aaron and Ryan join us from the Autopod Decepticast to rate and review these seemingly-timeless creature-features, leading us down several tangents, including: why Kingston Falls looks eerily-similar to Hill Valley, why Kate’s Santa story stops the movie (ahem) dead in its tracks, and are the Gremlins living in the Breaking Bad universe? Not to mention, shocking revelations about Mrs. Deagle, why Daniel Clamp would be President in a forthcoming Gremlins 3, Mr. Futterman’s very own Jacob’s Ladder scenario, and what Rand Peltzer really gets up to when he’s away with ‘work’. You know the rules, now break ‘em all with episode 107 of Unfunny Nerd Tangent. ***Smokeless ashtray not included*** Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: ‘Bat-Gremlin’ Tim Agne (@TimAgne) & ‘Mayor of Reseda’ Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman). Special Guests: Ryan Jett (@RyanJett2) & Aaron Thweatt (@Thweatt) from Autopod Decepticast (@ApodDcast). Music by Jerry Goldsmith & Tony Randall.

Season 2 of The Boys has hit and no matter what your take was, it certainly wasn’t predictable. Fresca? Join us as we return to The Seven, Vought International and The Church of the Collective to discuss all the head-popping hilarity and whale-deep gore of the latest season. GoPro blackmail, the ultimate Übermensch, Almond Joys and most of all… all the C-Bombs you can shake a love sausage at, this season had it all. And next year we get Jensen Ackles. So don’t be a toxic personality, pass the Fresca (now exploding baby free) and enjoy episode 106 of Unfunny Nerd Tangent: The Boys, Season 2. Please sponsor us. Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: ‘SuperJew’ Jared Robinovitz (@SuperJew75), 'The Deep' Tim Agne (@timagne) & 'The Mighty' Joshua Schlag (@thesteelcage).

Get in, loser, we're podcasting. That’s right — we're talking about Mean Girls. And oh my God, we love your skirt. After a made-for-TV sequel and like a bajillion memes, this teen comedy classic is now old enough to be a junior in high school itself. Tina Fey's script remains as funny as ever, and watching Mean Girls in October 2020 raises some timely questions about how we should feel when a bully gets hit by a bus. It's just a shame that our tickets to the Broadway musical got canceled. So slather on the foot cream, cut two holes in your shirt and unwrap a Kälteen Bar — it's time to make out with a hotdog and hope we can sit with the band geeks. Wait, what? Hosted by: "Mrs. Norbury" Tim Agne (@timagne). Featuring: "Gretchen" Greig Tansley (@GreigT13) and "It's pronounced like Katie" Emily Parker (@emilyparkerhere). Music by: The Mean Girls & Kelis.

You asked for it, so here it is! It took a while, but FINALLY, Unfunny Nerd Tangent rates and reviews the nostalgic show that’s brought sentimental memories flooding back to even the most cynical karate-dojo masters – Seasons 1 & 2 of Cobra Kai. Retro-sequels and long-time-reunions are tough to get right, especially in this day and age of the complete reboot (and rip-off). But as we all know, the original is usually the best, so when we sat down to discuss why Cobra Kai has taken the world by storm (for young and old), we were swamped with potential tangents to delve into. What have Johnny and Daniel been up to these past 35 years? Does a new generation of 'karate kids' live up to the mantle of their forbearers? And what happened to Mr. Miyagi? Well, we flipped the script, dove into the back of the cement truck and cranked up the glam metal for this one to prove one way or another whether ‘Mercy is for the Weak’ or not. Also Diora Baird. Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: ‘SuperJew’ Jared Robinovitz (@SuperJew75) & ‘Blue’ Matt Morales (@matt_morales). Music by: Poison & Joe Esposito.

We were supposed to unite the world in nerddom. According to George Carlin, a podcast created by Tansley and Agne will save reality as we know it, uniting humanity across all time. If only we could get it done in 90 minutes. Good thing we have a time machine, because we're going all the way back to 1989 in San Dimas, California (which looks conspicuously like the suburbs of Phoenix) to celebrate Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Then we're cheating death, giving melvins to evil robot us-es and definitely not covering KISS as we dial up Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey from 1991. And finally, we drop the old phone booth in the nightmarish hellscape of 2020. After a most unprecedented 29-year hiatus, Bill S. Preston, Esq., and "Ted" Theodore Logan are wild dads ready to unite the world against a most heinous dearth of new movie releases. Reuniting an almost-too-Bill Alex Winter and a maybe-not-Ted-enough Keanu Reeves, Bill & Ted Face the Music shows us the inseparable slacker icons still struggling to fulfill their musical destiny (in maybe a little bit of a Bogus Journey retcon). And as their fairytale marriages near a breaking point, the future calls with a hard deadline. So lick the Cheetos dust off your fingers and hop into your time machine — whether it looks like a vintage phone booth or a sleek adult massager — because we've got a band to assemble and a song to not technically steal. Te adoro, Guillermo. Hosted by: 'Waterloo' Tim Agne (@timagne) Featuring: 'Station!' Greig Tansley (@greigt13) Music by: Big Pig and KISS.

There’s a lot coming from Warner Brothers and DC, but will it be any good? DC FanDome happened online over the weekend, where a host of trailers and news was dropped / announced, so we thought we’d dive in and see what we all thought. We looked at the new cast / character reveals for The Suicide Squad, argued about the trailer for The Batman, and then went through the highs and lows of the new trailers for Wonder Woman 1984 and the ‘long-awaited’ Justice League: The Snyder Cut. Will the Americans ever be able to see these in the theater? Who knows? But for now, you can listen to our reactions to the latest DC news on Episode 102 of Unfunny Nerd Tangent. Oh, and grow up, bro. Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: ‘SuperJew’ Jared Robinovitz (@SuperJew75) & 'Javelin' Tim Agne (@timagne). Special guest: Mike Seibert (@MikeSibertRadio). Music by: Nirvana / Samuel Kim Music & The Ramones.

Oh my God, we’re back again… After crowning the first ever UNT champion in Episode 100, we return to 'normal' to avoid yet another Apocalypse with Season 2 of The Umbrella Academy. This season brought a lot to the table, diving into some unexpected themes like mental health, LGBT issues, the JFK Assassination and of course, the Civil Rights Movement. But was it also filled with superpowers stuff and time-travel nonsense? And did we go off on some weird tangents while discussing it? You bet your talking goldfish it/we did. So, before you come down with a case of paradox psychosis, jump back into the UNT timeline with us as we review The Umbrella Academy: Season 2. PS: We heard a rumor you rated us 5 stars. No? All right then, just listen anyway… Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: ‘SuperFlu’ Jared Robinovitz (@SuperJew75) & 'Number One' Tim Agne (@timagne). Music by: Backstreet Boys & TLC.

Our very own Alex Trebek, Darrell returns in his role as games master for this recap episode to analyse the abundance of trivia covered by our nerdy podcast. Not to mention creating several unfunny tangents along the way to crown the first-ever Unfunny Funny Nerd Tangent Champion. Be ready to scream out those answers in frustration. You’ve been warned.
