Luke’s three VBs in not hungover this week, so prepare for some high energy discussion of the week’s going on!
This week we wonder how Nolan made a $250 million movie that looks like The Odyssey, while Moana 2 cost the same amount and looks like… Moana 2.
Somehow a conversation about the Grogu movie leads to the discovery that Neighbours made a zombie spin-off in 2014 and it’s available on YouTube. That’s the kind of episode this is. Along the way: William Shatner publicly calling his own Magic: The Gathering card AI-generated garbage, Matt’s genuine distress over not being able to enjoy Stardew Valley, Luke owning 12 boxes of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 board game expansions and having opened exactly one, and a surprisingly interesting breakdown of why Spotify’s new fan-verification ticket system might actually dent concert scalping. Plus GTA 6 is still November, Destiny 2 is winding down, and Matt is running a local AI agent that reads obituaries so we don’t miss Geek of the Week candidates. ‘Neighbours: Zombies on Ramsey Street’ review coming next week.
Not long ago in the galaxy you’re also currently occupying…
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!
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!).
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.
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.
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!
Good thing nothing happened in the world this week and we can just focus on fun topics like Alan Wake 2, Fallout Season 2 starring Macauley Culkin, the Mass Effect TV series, Sega and much more!
Show Matt the Champion of Light, and he’ll show you the Herald of Darkness!
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!
