Send us a textIn time where every person on the internet has access to AI on any platform or interface, the Gents take the time to reflect on the generative images people are creating through inspiration of Studio Ghibli animation (1:15). Where it is all good fun, they stress the message that founder of the studio Hayao Miyazaki warned potential artists that this will destroy the foundations of making art. In recent events, there has been an over surplus of nerd news, which is perfect timing for the Gents to deliver the nerdcore show for April. EstoBro evaluated the latest from Nintendo from their Direct showcase they had a week ago (15:40), as TV opens up questions on what will take place for their Switch 2 announcements this week. There was even additional news on how Nintendo will deliver news to their fans, even with the nonchalant announcement for targeted release date for the Super Mario Bros. movie sequel and a live action Legend of Zelda film. With multiple media outlets to deliver video game news, it is with great pleasure that the EstoBro TV Podcast announces the return of GameInformer magazine (28:05). After a brief hiatus from last year, the major video game news outlet is set to make it's return to delivering quality video game news for gamers. The Gents are more than thrilled to see what is to come from GameInformer as a whole, and the endless possibilities it has to deliver quality video game headlines. Pivoting to the latest in the MCU news, the Gents recap the insanity of the cast teasing of Avengers: Doomsday (37:05). The pair debate over past Marvel alumni that were not featured in the series of clips, but they do hold out optimism on what is to come after releases of titles that set to release this year. They also comment on the reveal of Spider-Man films with release dates set for Tom Holland to return in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and the final installment of the Spider-Verse trilogy. Transitioning from the focus on Marvel, the Gents are truly excited about season two of Marvel Rivals rolling out this month (55:30). They break down the reveals of Blade, Ultron, and Emma Frost as the potential characters that will be playable in the multiplayer hero shooter game. A hefty nerdcore episode indeed, courtesy of the EstoBro TV Podcast. Theme song made by iamRavedadInteract with the Gents of the podcast on the following social media platforms:X (Formally known as Twitter) YouTube InstagramBlog/websiteJoin the Discord serverSubscribe to the official playlist of the podcast

Send us a textImagine having interviews with a potential top football player in the upcoming NFL Draft, and the potential future NFL star will only entertain the interview if the professional team suiting him by playing a strategic board game (1:20). That is what EstoBro and TV discovered in a slandering meme over Shedeur Sanders being courted by NFL teams in strategic parody. The opening of the show focusing on gaming presents the episode that focuses on nerdcore, and EstoBro is already stating claim of the first video game title as a favorite to win Game of the Year. Hazelight Studios' latest title Split Fiction is a multiplayer co-op game that released at the start of March, and it is everything the fans and critics have expected from a video game (15:30). A follow up title to GotY winner It Takes Two, Hazelight Studios has delivered once again with an amazing action-packed adventure game. Continuing the focus on video games, the Gents pay their tardy homage to Konami's Yu-Gi-Oh franchise, which just finished celebrating their 25th anniversary (27:40). The discussion starts with the release of Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection being released at the end of February, which features a mass collection of vintage handheld video game titles exploring the classic elements of Yu-Gi-Oh. EstoBro has some choice words for this latest title, before TV gives the IP its flowers on how the anime carried the franchise even further. As the pair turn their attention to anime (39:40), EstoBro gives TV kudos for introducing him to Sakamoto Days and the ongoing series Solo Leveling. There cannot be a nerdcore episode without talking about comics and the latest installment of the MCU (56:10), as the Gents put a spotlight on Daredevil: Born Again debuting on Disney+. The excitement of Matt Murdock and Kingpin returning to the fold has the Gents wondering if either character will be featured in the hot game Marvel Rivals? All of these topics focused on the latest installment of the EstoBro TV Podcast!If you are interested in joining the official EstoBro TV Podcast March Madness bracket challenge, share this episode with a friend and tag the show in one of their listed social media pages listed in the show's description.Theme song made by iamRavedadInteract with the Gents of the podcast on the following social media platforms:X (Formally known as Twitter) YouTube InstagramBlog/websiteJoin the Discord serverSubscribe to the official playlist of the podcast

Send us a textThe episode recorded the day after the Super Bowl, the Gents give their feedback at one of the most lukewarm football games ever witnessed (2:05). The Philadelphia Eagles triumphed over the Kansas City Chiefs, but the game was severely one-sided to the winning team. The halftime performance by Kendrick Lamar broke records in viewership with one of the best interpretations of his work, especially after his beef with Drake was internationally televised for all to see. Post the cold open, EstoBro gives Sony the business for having their servers down over the weekend during a critical online playing time for gamers (17:15). He hopes that there is some incentive for this breakdown, and is anticipating a great showcase for their PlayStation State of Play that takes place during the week. Since the podcast's latest obsession is Marvel Rivals, the attention of the latest slough of MCU films are on the horizon with Captain America: Brave New World, The Thunderbolts*, and Fantastic Four: First Steps are the films that separate the transition period from Phase 5 to Phase 6 (34:30). The pair also bring attention to the new Jurassic Park: Rebirth that is returning to the roots of horror and sci-fi with Scarlett Johansen potentially earning a redemption arc (46:25).

In the 1950s, an article about the popularity of folk music among science fiction fans had a typo where “folk” was written as “filk.” From then on, filk music became a staple at grassroots sci-fi conventions. Filkers would either write parody lyrics to existing folk songs, or they'd invent entirely new speculative worlds in 3-4 minute songs. Filk has evolved beyond just being folk. It's gone electric and embraced other genres of music. But sci-fi fantasy fandom has changed a lot as well. Does filk still have a place in a more corporate fantasy world? Can it survive the competition from Nerdcore or social media? Can it transition from the boomer generation that started it? I talk with folklorists Sally and Barry Childs-Helton of the group Wild Mercy, Rand and Erin Bellavia of the group Via Bella, and Eric and Jen Distad of the group The Faithful Sidekicks about the past, present and future of filk.

Send us a textIn a new year, older major IPs from the older days become available after the public domain expires (2:00). This is something the EstoBro TV Podcast has mentioned before with Steamboat Willie, and it is now happening again with Popeye the Sailorman. The Gents anticipate how the Spinach-eating navy veteran will adapt to modern storylines as they discuss the first nerdcore episode of 2025. Due to the passing of the holidays, EstoBro and Mandy Hatake were able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 and finally enjoy the current gaming era (18:15). After discussing the statistics of the competition and the future of gaming, the pair finally joined TV in multiplayer gaming with the latest installment of Marvel Rivals (31:20); a free game released towards the end of 2024 and is a fun third-person shooter that features Marvel superheroes and villains. The ZYN Clan is slowly working its way to becoming a sponsored eSports team of the podcast! You cannot have a nerd-related show without discussing Star Wars some (55:30), and EstoBro reveals the latest casting news for Ahsoka, as the Gents also look back on the debut of Skeleton Crew. Finally, in anime news, they also criticize IGN's lacking list of 2024's best anime shows (64:00), but credit the winner selected: Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.Theme song made by iamRavedadInteract with the Gents of the podcast on the following social media platforms:TwitterInstagramFacebookTumblrJoin the Discord serverSubscribe to the official playlist of the podcast
