This week, we remember 2016 and say a not fond farewell to the mess it was

Goodbye 2016

Greetings adventurers, and welcome to this weeks installment of The Surly Nerd!

This week, the show format goes out the window as we hunker down and yell about what a crappy year in pop culture it was in 2016.

While it wasen’t all bad, just talking about ONLY the fun stuff would not make for a very surly episode. From comics, to movies and gaming – enjoy our 2016 retrospective!
