Episode 234 : The Future Of The MCU
Disney might buy parts of Fox, but what does that mean for the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
What does this potential purchase mean for the MCU?
Greetings adventurers, and welcome to this weeks installment of The Surly Nerd! After our prelude, we head into comics where New York is about to honor Bill Finger. We also have IMAGE pulling together an anthology to support the survivors of the Las Vegas shooting and James gets super excited about an all-new Bloodborne comic.
Heading into level two, we give the deets on what Super Mario Odyssey sold and cover all the big news that came out of Blizzcon. There’s also a (strangely) cool announcement from GameStop and microtransactions take center stage again as we talk about Monster Hunter World.
Over in the world of entertainment, we debate if we want/need a prequel movie to “Night of the Living Dead”. Fans finally get the Friday the 13th/Evil Dead crossover they have always wanted and arguments have to be made for and against wanting a new Twilight Zone reboot.
Our epilogue is week is all about the possible acquisition of Fox properties by Disney.
As always, we appreciate all our adventurers who listen to the show every week and we look forward to your feedback on what we discuss! (info@thesurlynerd.com!)

Who won awards at DICE
and what Hollywood thinks they can do to improve video game movies
…as it turns out, James is swamped with work this week and didn’t have time to list ALL of the amazing things talked about on this weeks episode. So you will just have to take it from us that every minute of this weeks show is super awesome!
