It’s Episode 200 and we’re going off-script to have some fun!

Happy birthday us!

Greetings adventurers, and welcome to this weeks installment of The Surly Nerd!
This week, the inmates are running the asylum as we celebrate 200 episodes of this little show we put on for you every week!

Join us as we dive into the bowler hat of truth, asking all our hosts the hard hitting questions about life in the nerd-lane. From “what comic universe would you live in if you have to wear your pants on your head?” to “How long after a films end, before you can reboot it?” – we ask the hard hitting questions and give you even harder answers on this weeks show!

Our epilogue this week is about the past, and the future of our little podcast. 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!)

When should we leave cult classics alone?

Greetings adventurers, and welcome to this weeks installment of The Surly Nerd! After our prelude, we kick things off in comics where we break down what Greater Creators is and why you should be watching it. We also have a comic CREATORS convention announcement and we close out level one with a discussion on if comic relaunches are really all they have cracked up to be.

Heading into level two, Square Enix is taking on Marvel properties but leaving Deus Ex in the dust. Microsoft fills out the latter half of level two with big announcements on backwards compatibility and their “snap” feature.

Over in the world of entertainment, we have a big ‘ol update on the future of the newest Batman movie and what that means for DC entertainment as a whole. We also get into the Highlander remake and end level three with a talk about what James Cameron thinks about things.

Entertainment is a business – but how does that affect your favorite movies, comics and games?

We just really want a Moon Knight series

Greetings adventurers, and welcome to this weeks installment of The Surly Nerd! After our prelude, we kick things off in comics as 2017 gets even crazier with a Justice League/Power Rangers crossover from the writer of INJUSTICE of all things. We break down what Geoff Johns is working on next for DC COMICS and get into the business of comics a little bit with what MARVEL is doing next to bring in new readership.

Heading into level two, SQUARE ENIX gives its DEUS EX family a special present. Also, Steam is opening up suport for controllers across all games – and that means some really cool changes right around the corner. Level two wraps up with Disney’s new console, and we have to ask – who really wants it?

Over in the world of entertainment, we get hyped over the cast of Shane Black’s new PREDATOR film, and we have a good time talking about what could be if James Gunn was allowed to make a MOON KNIGHT film. Level three ends in disappointment as we talk about who is going to be heading up the new VALIANT film franchise and what that means for the future of those films.

Our epilogue this week is about entertainment as a business – and why it’s important to understand it. 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!)

There’s also talks about a GEORGE LUCAS-centric episode of LEGENDS of TOMORROW that has us super-excited. There’s an update on the M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN’S TALES FROM THE CRYPT series and another insightful debate over what’s currently going on in the DCEU.

Also, we have news about a new convention coming to San Francisco as well as the results of Octobers comic book sales. Did Marvel come out on top with their new series of #1’s?
