An Ode to Physical Media

It's been more than a decade since Disney took over the world's favorite space opera. Having already cast our gaze at the PREQUEL trilogies Holden and Jake have decided to force themselves to watch the highs, lows, and frustratingly debatable middles of a movie series that made people yearn for the days of pod racing. Were longtime fans betrayed? Do we owe George Lucas an apology? Can anybody agree about anything involving "The Last Jedi"? Find out, dear listener, and get weirdly emotionally invested along the way!Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

The tragedy that was 9/11 changed everything so much that it’s hard to remember what things were like right before. Thankfully Jake is here to remind us of the movies, music, tv, and games that were huge the week before and how it seems like we could never go back to that specific time when Crazytown and American Pie 2 were all the rage. We’ll never forget 9/11 but we’ve certainly forgotten some of the things that immediately became anachronistic and just how things changed right after. Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

Joss Whedon was a nerd God with quirky quips, inspiring world building, and positive portrayals of female characters. But unfortunately that’s just half the story: An icon on the streets, a Dr. Horrible in the sheets. Recurring issues of abuse and control on set and off popped up and it all culminated with a downfall that in hindsight feels expected and karmic. Buffy fan and Page 7 cohost Jackie Zebrowski joins us to go through all of it and analyze a creator who will be outlived by both his creations and actions. Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

Summer is almost over which used to be mean 2 things: The start of school and a new season of Saturday morning cartoons. But hey, they were not all created equally. Some certainly had higher budgets than others, some stood the test of time and others starred Louie Anderson as a kid version of himself and his abusive dad. We rank a bunch of classic Saturday morning cartoons and learn a lot about each other in the process. You'll have to listen to see who liked the Beetlejuice cartoon, who defends Reboot to the grave, and who wishes they could go back in time and kill all the muppet babies.

Jake leads us through a tribute to physical media! Memories of VHS horror box art! The heyday and resurgence of vinyl! The reliance (and obligation) of giving books as gifts! We cover it all and also share some stories from our listeners about the tangible, physical stuff that made them who they are. If you're old you can remember how it was with us and if you're young you can hear about the pure joy of going over to a friend's house and seeing that they also had a DVD copy of Stargate!

In the wake of Sony saying physical games are DOA our hosts wonder if this is really that bad of a thing.Is this just the future of gaming and are we actually losing anything? Are you just the old man yelling at clouds (that are full of your game's download info) when you mourn that little box with an actual game inside of it? And what about Gamestop? Won't someone think of poor old Gamestop?! I can't trade in gigabytes, goddamnit! Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

He's the best there is at what he does and what he does is stoically scold people while blasting people with his concussive eye beams! Cyclops is often portrayed in cartoons and movies as a big ol' dork and fuddy duddy rules follower but the guy has been through a lot in the comics and has a lot of emotional depth. Mike takes Jake and Holden through the history and this X-man's evolution as creators take him from a mopey loner to a strategic genius to an all powerful mutant zealot that even scares Magneto. And yeah, maybe he's not the coolest. But really, that's what makes him cool.
