The History and Future of Esports

We're doing a good ol' fashioned deep dive on the man from the Great White North who made Hollywood his second city and blew up the box office! We go through Rick's early life, his meteoric rise and his powerful decision to walk away from it all, proving he was the goodhearted nerd we always cheered for. If it ever comes out that he's actually a terrible person we will have to immediately take this episode down because we shower him with praise as both a performer and a man. But I don't think he will, because he's Rick Moranis, the littlest giant of the silver screen.Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

Witness as a boy is born and uses fantasy to escape the reality of living in the foul wasteland that is Bayonne New Jersey. Young George RR Martin is the ultimate fanboy, transforms into the ultimate journeyman writer, and then after years of toiling in writers rooms and the clearance section of Waldenbooks creates a beloved book series! And with that series comes a fan base that is first Stark loving glad and eventually becomes Stark raving mad. Was that a lame sentence? Yes, but we met our deadline and published it anyway unlike some people!! Is it okay that the guy is too busy enjoying life and Elden Ring to return to Westeros or is he guilty of being like every dad in a 90s kid movie and making a promise he refuses to keep?Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

In honor of Labor Day we’re laboring over the first 17 years of Marvel movies and ranking every Avenger from Ant Man to Quicksilver. Yes that Quicksilver.

Greetings from Yancy Street, you podcast enjoying crum bums, we’re celebrating the Worlds Greatest Comics Magazine and a film franchise you clearly have gotten enough of, the Fantastic Four. Why do we love them, what makes them unique, and why is it harder to make a great movie than it is for Pedro Pascal to shave? Get on a rocket with your unqualified friends and strap in, just like a lap dance from the Thing, it’s gonna be a lumpy ride!Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

It’s our 25th episode spectacular but don’t worry, we do the same thing we do every episode, Pinky (narf!). In honor of the new season of King of the Hill which we all enjoyed, we’ve decided to talk about the recent trend of rebooted cartoons. Jake takes us on a tour of the Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, Beavis and Butthead, and because we’re pro pain and suffering, the Powerpuff Girls! Plus we pitch our own cartoon reboots (including one the industry has already said no to!)Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

We love movies and we love video games but the two often go together like two things that don’t go well together. Holden talks us through the history of greedy publishers cashing in on popular movies by releasing terrible video games. We bring up the good, the bad, and Fight Club. Yes they made a game based on Fight Club and we are breaking the rules by talking about it.Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

Well folks, it came crashing down and it hurts inside. The immortal Hulk Hogan was mortal after all and in this episode while Jake is on the road to live in LA (!!!) Holden and Mike do an old fashioned deep dive through his life and career: The good, the bad, and of course No Holds Barred, the movie that deserves its own movie about the making of it.Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

Ms. Rachel started a Youtube Channel called "Songs For Littles" in 2019 with the goal of helping babies and toddlers develop speaking skills and in less than a decade has built a gigantic empire involving Netflix deals, mass marketed merchandise...and controversy. Yes controversy, because hey, the Internet isn't anything if not consistently critical, especially of the people entertaining our kids so we don't have to. We get into all of it and celebrate someone who refuses to back down and give in to bullying despite getting death threats just for wanting kids to stop being killed. The story of Ms Rachel is the story of modern online culture and perseverance while still keeping your dignity and pink hairband.Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

There's no "I" in Esports! That's a factual statement. This episode is crammed full of factual statements as Holden takes us on a tour from the very beginning of Esports in 1962 all the way up til now where there are full leagues of people (some legends, some not) playing for millions (both audience and dollars)! We go through it all from Billy Mitchell in his prime to EV0 moment 37 to The Overwatch League. Be dazzled by Holden's research, Jake's insightful commentary, and Mike's complete lack of knowledge about video game acronyms. But hey, he did compete in the 1994 Blockbuster Video Game Championships and vividly remembers being humbled, so there's that.Want even more Nerd of Mouth?
