A Listener Question Episode Already?

If you watched the janky oddity that is the 2017 Death Note movie or the Scarlet Johansson Ghost in the Shell that also came out in 2017 (what a tough year) this is the episode for you! Anime is massive and yet a successful live action adaptation of one that's as good as the source material seems harder to find than the one piece treasure (With One Piece being the exception that breaks the rule) . Jake explains why this is and we all analyze some of the attempts including Cowboy Bebop, the insanity that is the Wachowski's Speed Racer, and yes even Dragon Ball Evolution because we love entertaining you more than we respect ourselves.Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

Hi ho nerdy listeners!!! Be our guest as we discuss the whole new world of Disney Live Action remakes over the past decade or so. Some have been great and some have been bippity boppity garbage.

Are we born nerds or are we raised to be them? What impact does our environment have on who we are and what we love and just how important are the people around us? Our hosts open up about how they were raised and whether or not they think they were meant to still love Mario and She Hulk in their 40s. This one's got Jake deep diving into genetics, Holden's attempts at getting his dad to play Balatro, and Mike talking about how the games of the Sega Genesis allow him and his brother to honor their dead dad. Then we read some lovely letters from you the listeners about your upbringings and journeys. This one gets emotional but in the best way possible.Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

What makes humor work in video games and when does it fall flatter than a pickup line in Arkham City? Plus a dissection on why quips are the most overly used form of humor now in both video games and everything else. You'll definitely be GLaD(OS) you checked this one out!Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

Holden talks us through that once beloved tradition that was born of both cinema and corporate synergy: The summer movie song. Whether it was Seal grinding on a Bat Signal, Kenny Loggins singing about jet planes, or a montage of Mr. T set to a pulse pounding track about tiger eyes, the summer movie song was everywhere...until it just wasn't anymore. What exactly happened and more importantly what are our cohosts going to pick as their three favorite summer movie songs of all time (from the early 80s to the early 2000s honestly). And please let us know your favorite because unlike Aerosmith, we probably did miss a thing.Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

Face front true believers and angry accusers!!! It's the trial of the century where we argue about that guy that was almost alive for a century: Stan Lee. Is this man also this monster we've made him out to be? That passionate prosecutor Mike Lawrence takes on diligent defense dork Jake Young while Holden (and you listeners) reach a verdict. Is Stan Lee the astonishing architect of a beloved universe or is he merely the housekeeper of ideas that stole a bunch of stuff when no one was looking?Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

As Jake was starting to talk about the collectors market for video games last episode Mike interrupted (productively for once) to suggest the world of collecting deserved it's own episode. So here it is! Jake talks the video game collecting boom that started a few years ago and the corruption that followed, Holden talks about the insane rise of Pokémon fever and Magic cards, and Mike has some articulated points on collecting action figures and comic books and we all ask "Is this stuff as fun once you're doing it for money"? The answer will not surprise you!Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

With his steady calculator and studious notes handy, Jake makes like an Atari Jaguar and does th math to talk Holden and Mike through the expensive cartridge highs and cheap ass CD ROM lows of video game pricing. And where are we headed next? Will you spend triple figure prices on Triple- A games or will rising prices finally make us all Nintendo Switch to another hobby that actually involves going outside?Want even more Nerd of Mouth?
