Episodes

Matt watched Project Hail Mary, so if you were waiting for his review the time has come. Warning - we do talk spoilers but we give you plenty of warning!

It’s that special time of year when Matt and Jenna get to go to PAX East and Luke gets to be jealous. He’ll have his revenge in October at PAX Aus, and then it’ll be their turn to cry.

Well we know what the Firefly news is and one of us isn’t happy about it.

Luke saw a movie, Matt hasn’t. Let the jealousy begin!

Luke was right, again, and he’s not going to let anybody forget it. He’s a leaf on the wind.

What’s a gamer to do when Microsoft takes away his gamerscore? Let’s just hope that never actually happens. It might mean the end of this show!

Not long ago in the galaxy you’re also currently occupying…

Luke is wrestling with beard envy, or is he upset about something else?

Are we getting old or is the world just getting worse? It’s probably the world.

Luke’s finally watching Season 5 of Stranger Things. Better late than never! And can’t a person just pee in peace without fear of being filmed?

Something is different this week, can you figure out what it is? We reveal the answer at the end of the episode!

Happy New Year!!! Quick, take down your Christmas decorations before Luke sees them…

We’re back and we’ve been watching things like Avatar movies, Stranger Things, Marvel trailers, The Odyssey trailer and more.

Matt just got back from Iceland and Luke’s nursing a hangover post-Christmas party, so there’s plenty of laughs as they chat about everything from Bonny Blue’s escapades in Indonesia to the Timothy Dalton James Bond films. So hang tight and pour yourself a glass of lime cordial.

Matt’s away committing minor crimes in England (just a bit of trespassing, nothing serious), so it’s just Dan and Luke holding down the fort this week. We’ve got exciting Star Wars news about the 50th anniversary, some controversial fashion choices from Columbia, and tales of international law-breaking that’ll make you think twice before filming content abroad.

We apologise for being MIA, but we promise it was for a good reason (we were napping, maybe!).

Luke shut down MenuLog through the sheer power of complaining, we discuss AI trying to seduce reporters, and there’s a surprisingly in-depth conversation about the Vietnam War. Also, Rambo for kids? What? As always, if you want more of us talking absolute crap, head over to https://patreon.com/multiplenerdgasm for the After Party!

Luke’s knee is still messed up, which means no more blow jobs for anyone. We discuss the important things in life like Menulog delivery failures and how Matt can’t believe he’s been in America for almost 10 years. PAX East 2026 badges are on sale now! March 26-29, get in while you can. We talk about PAX attendance, the current state of VR gaming (spoiler: it’s still too much effort to put the headset on), and whether Luke will finally make it to PAX Australia next year. Star Trek: Picard season 2 is still terrible and we’re still mad about it. Season 3 though? Great stuff. There’s a Michael Jackson biopic teaser out featuring his nephew, and we discuss the production drama around the court case that got removed from the film. In The After Party this week we’ll tell you what Jeremy Renner has allegedly been up to! If you’d like to support the show and get access to The After Party, head to https://patreon.com/multiplenerdgasm

Luke has a desk, but not a microphone. Fingers crossed for next week. But we won’t let that stop us discussing all the latest in random stuff from the internet!

Luke’s got most of his stuff setup so we’re here to talk about movies and games and stuff, and we managed not to kiss anybody against their will. • Emiru assaulted at Twitchcon - https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/twitch-faces-backlash-popular-streamer-emiru-says-was-assaulted-twitch-rcna238496

This week Microsoft claims Luke has nothing to worry about, Brussels refuses to get Disturbed, Tron does poorly, Luke and Dan have been to PAX Aus, and more!

Luke has returned to some terrible news this week, is the Xbox empire crumbling? You’ll have to listen to find out!

If you’re looking for Luke we promise he really does show up, eventually! Lots of James Bond talk this week, plus some rare Star Wars whinging.

Guess who’s back, back again? Luke is back, tell a friend.

Luke managed to find his way onto the main show! He joins us from a pub in Laos. The rest of us are at home watching stuff.

Luke is still off galavanting around Asia, so Dan and Matt are holding down the fort. We’ve got a fair bit of nerdy news this week so strap in!

We’re back! Well, two of us are back in the main show. If you want all three of us you’ll have to head over to The After Party at https://patreon.com/multiplenerdgasm . This week Dan has seen Superman and Matt has seen F1: The Movie. Plus we talk about more movies, video games and TV stuff.

Luke is away so you’re stuck with Matt and Dan this week. We talk Linkin Park, 24 Hours of Lemons, the West Memphis Three plus the usual tech/movie/film/tv stuff!

There’s nothing I can write here that will be as funny as what South Park is doing, so just listen to find out about that instead.

Matt has also seen Superman now so we chat about it a bit (spoiler free!). We also discuss Sonic the Hedgehog, The Odyssey, Tron: Ares and more!

Where did you get that tie?

Don’t peek under Luke’s laundry pile, that’s where he keeps his secrets. We talk James Bond, Missions Impossible, Formulas One, Years 28, Laughing Last, and more!

We’ve been watching some stuff - Mission: Impossible | Final Reckoning, Cobra Kai, Blind, Last One Laughing, and some trailers.

Maybe we’re joking about the pants, maybe we’re not. This is a waist-up podcast only so you’ll never know for sure.

Justice has been served and a Switch 2 has been obtained. We talk Bond, Witcher 4, The Sega Master System, Formula 1 and more. Plus this week we want to say a heartfelt farewell to Dr Watson. She may not have been a real doctor but she was a real cutie.

This episode of the podcast contains 0% bath water, we promise.

We have a limb update, plus some Star Wars news, sports stuff and we’ve all been watching things on TV. If you’d like to join our slightly gay club, head to https://patreon.com/multiplenerdgasm and sign up.

The gates to our realm will be opening shortly, so if you want in head to https://patreon.com/multiplenerdgasm ! Matt is at PAX East this week, but Dan and Luke are holding the fort. They’ve got some game news, movie news, and working at the pub news? Sounds good to me!

Don’t adjust your podcast player, it’s not 2010 - we’re just talking about Minecraft for some reason. Wanna play with us? Go to https://patreon.com/multiplenerdgasm and let us know.

Luke’s been getting his gamble on and Matt rolled the dice on a Switch 2 pre-order!

Everything we say in this episode that could be considered slanderous is definitely a joke and we had our fingers crossed so you can’t sue us.

Matt has returned from his brief internship at Lumon and we have a lot to discuss. A small subset of those things are listed below, but really it’s just the tip of the… um… iceberg.

We’ve hit another milestone, 600 episodes! How? Well actually it’s easy, we just show up and talk every week. Matt showed up even though he’s on vacation, except he sounds like crap because he didn’t have a decent mic - have to sort that out for next time.

Lots of game, tv and movie discussion this week as we talk Metroid Prime 4, Pillars of Eternity, Silent Hill F, Atomfall, The Legend of Zelda movie, Rust, Snow White, Ludwig, Paradise, Common Side Effects and some other stuff too!

We do eventually get to some nerdy topics this week, but we’ve got a lot of chatter to get through first. Then we talk Switch 2 backwards compatibility, Elon “cheating” at games, Kraven the Hunter’s weird CGI usage, The Book of the New Sun and we’ve got an update on our fitness pact!

This week, we had a spreadsheet packed with discussion topics, but we barely scratched the surface. In the past, people have said episodes like this are the best, so here’s hoping that’s still the case!

We’ve been punching fascists all week!

Burn your backpacks! Just kidding, don’t do that. Go play Indian Jones and the Great Circle instead!

Our meme-coin isn’t a scam, but only because we’re not smart enough to know how you would make one a scam.

We’re thankful for you, listener! We’re also thankful for Red Dwarf, Quantum Break, Thanksgiving (the movie), Blood Rage, Kristy, The Rock and more!

When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightening or rain? How about in Streamyard on Saturday morning? And what shall we three discuss? The Rock pissing in bottles? Pets pissing on your Switch? Alan Wake 2? Quantum Break? Control? Stalker 2? Silo? From? Yes to all those things and more!!!

Marvel is making headlines once again, but not in a way we expected! What movie prop would you spend $175,000 on?

We’ve got a lot of Britain-centric news this week, with a stop-over in Italy and as always we start and end in Australia. We talk Fallout: London, James Bond, Inside No. 9, Tachyon Dreams and much more!

This week there’s lots to be upset about! Tenacious D is over, Halo is over, The Acolyte is over (for now) and everybody is overjoyed to hear that Dan is back.

Alec Baldwin is off the hook, thanks to some serious screw ups by the prosecution! We perform an in-depth analysis of the two hours of court room footage Matt watched on the treadmill today. Are we lawyers? No. Are we going to let that stop us? Also no. We also talk some more about The Acolyte, Dragon Age, Elden Ring’s DLC, Still Wakes The Deep, Neil Gaiman and more. Oh and we address some of the feedback we received from lovely YouTube commenters on our last episode. Thanks guys, stay positive!

We need to apologise. This week we watched The Acolyte and let’s just say we may have learned a thing or two. We also discuss the latest drama surrounding Dr Disrespect, Logan Paul and Julian Assange. It’s a dramatic week!

Don’t throw Belle Delphine out with the bath water! This week we’ve got some follow up on her… merchandise? Is that a good word for it? Also we discuss ChatGPT and Scarlett Johansson, Spotify’s “thing”, Fallout, Seinfeld and Matt has finally finished Alan Wake!

Microsoft is finally shutting down the Xbox 360 store so Luke is snapping up some bargains and very, very slowly downloading them. There’s a new Assassin’s Creed game on the way Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, and it’s set in feudal Japan! What could go wrong? We also discuss Superman, Tom Selleck, Starfield and much more!

We’ve got two giant companies for you to get mad at this week: Apple and Microsoft. Apple for crushing a bunch of cool stuff and Microsoft for crushing the careers of some talented game developers. We also discuss Picard, Fallout, Baby Reindeer and William Shatner!

Fate and technology were against us this week, but we pushed through thank to the power of eggs.

None of us are officially knighted, but at least one of us has played The Dark Knight in a sketch.

Luke has a new nickname!

Life finds a way…

We also do our own stunts, as you’ll discover in this episode.

Sure it comes with popcorn in it but once you’ve eaten all the popcorn there are plenty of other things you could stick in there.

It’s an ugly planet! A bug planet! Would you like to hear more?

Sure it sounds weird but I guess you gotta smoke something, right?
