Episode 60 - Nobody Calls Them Berries
October 23, 2019 04:09Wherein a shocking twist, Nerd/Life talks about.. Star Wars! Also, we defend the fandom of villainy and/or super villains, and explain how love works, or doesn't work, to Ron.. again.. This time in color!

Episode 59 - Muhammad Ali Says You Can Do Better
October 16, 2019 04:06Hey Nerds! It's ya boy, Nerd/Life, back with another funky fresh news beat. But also, you guys really came through this week, and gave us a ton of dope questions and feedback to address on the show!

Episode 58.5 - The Joker's On Us, Ha Ha
October 09, 2019 04:22This is the Joker one, wherein we do not say Mistah J even a single time. I'll keep it brief like undies - we spend this entire episode giving our thoughts, opinions, and wild criticisms of Todd Phillips' Joker film.
Episode 58 - The One About Spider-Man
October 09, 2019 04:19We're a little late on this one, but here's the Nerd/Life New York Comic Con 2019 Exclusive Glow-in-the-Dark edition, complete with Ryan Brown Kung Fu grip and soggy cookie accessories. Also, it's about Spider-man. They're all about Spider-man.
Episode 57 - The Highest Horse
September 25, 2019 04:22Hey nerds! Ever wish you could hear Byrd get yelled at by a special guest for his open dislike and troubling disregard of Batman? Well, you can go to Hell! Or.. you can listen to this episode of Nerd/Life! Wherein that exact thing definitely happens! We cover Jonah Hill's new role in the Rob Pattinson led Batman film, take a quick peek at Jurassic World's sneak-attack sequel, yell into the void over the possible Princess Bride remake, and take an in-depth look at the wave of terror that was.....
Episode 56 - Punch Ron in the Face?
September 18, 2019 04:32This time on Nerd/Life.. Ron doesn't get punched in the face.. but should he? We answer this (yes) and many (yes) more of life's most troubling (yes) questions! Like.. Was DC's Titans awesome again? Did Marvel just reveal their casting choice for the X-Men's most nefarious frienemy - Magneto? Are James Gunn and J.J. Abrams DC's New Gods? Is Birds of Prey still mega dumb (yes)? Well, now's as good a time as any to find out, nerd - on this episode of Nerd/Life.
Episode 55 - Little Mermaid Fancast: Under DC Edition
September 13, 2019 03:01We actually do talk about the Little Mermaid.. sort of. We at least speak the dark magics that summon her to do our bidding. Trigger warning: both Ron and the word "moist" are contained within this episode. Parental discretion is advised. We also dabble in the dark arts of Marvel's latest casting news, as well as spoiler free but sorcery-fueled peak into the deep darkness that is Titans Season 2, Episode 1. We also might be wizards. We got hats.
Episode 54 - Byrd/Life
September 04, 2019 03:44We've got to be frank with you nerds; this is the Joker episode. The gag order has been lifted from critics following the film's debut at various film festivals world-wide, and early votes are in. We get into the thick of what it means to be a comic book movie, and just where the Joker falls into it all. Plus there's some drama brewing at Funimation by way of the cast of Dragonball Z, and we solve yet another whowunnit. Also, Frank shows up, and you've got to meet that guy.. right? Stay hands...
Episode 53 - D23 Ducks Fly Together
August 28, 2019 05:47There's only one thing to talk about this week, nerds, and that's.. everything. Because every damn thing happened this weekend at Disney's D23. We get a Star Wars, and then another Star Wars, and then like two more of those, plus more Marvel Cinematic Reveals than you could throw a brick at Ron at.. If that last one wasn't the one, this one's the one. So buckle up and put on your decapitating shoes, Connor Macleoud, for this episode of Nerd/Life.
Episode 52 - Did you get us a Spider-Man cake?
August 21, 2019 05:04It's our birthday! And you know what that means? It means it's also your birthday - your Nerd/Life birthday! Come have joke-olate cake and Ron-illa ice cream with us! And to celebrate? Sony took its Spider-Man away from Marvel and went home.. shit.
Episode 51 - Old as Ron
August 14, 2019 03:55Chris here.. and let me tell you, I have no idea what happened in this podcast. There wasn't any news, and yet still there is podcast.. This just doesn't add up, so hopefully you, our adoring legion of fans, can listen in to this episode and explain to us how podcast happened. Also how babies are made, asks Ron. Oh, and also the Joker script leaked and we totally discuss it - avoid that little chunk if you're excited for the movie! - Chris may reveal a little too much!
Episode 50 - Spring Loaded Boxing Gloves
August 07, 2019 03:56Well, the mystery of Ron's continued disappearances deepens as another player enters the game to share in our disappointment. Also, Titans season 2 finally has a trailer, the CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event announcements are firing on all cylinders, Galactus may well wage war on the MCU in an upcoming phase, and we may just know who the villain in Black Panther 2 is.. but we're teases, so you'll just have to listen in this time!
Episode 49 - Ronmageddon
July 31, 2019 04:49Well, as if he hadn't already, Ron gets old real fast in this episode. Your noble heroes tackle this devastating news in the way they always have: they ignore the problem and talk comics and media! Amazon's Prime Video debut has gone live and we discuss the wrongs it got right, JJ Abrams is rumored to be heading multiple DCEU projects, we find out who on Nerd/Life watches HBO's Watchmen, and we deal with the blood curdling repercussions of DC's Joker film not appearing at SDCC (hint: it's wha...
Episode 48 - The Worst Thing Ryan's Ever Heard
July 24, 2019 04:26Behold, noble truthseekers, as in this episode you shall hear that which you can never unhear - the mating cry of a adolescent Marvel Cinematic Universe doing the unspeakable to its competition in San Diego Comic Con's Hall H. Honestly guys, Marvel's news is so big that it takes up this whole episode.. and it's definitely a really, super good one. Also Ron's back, in spite of the CIA's best efforts. So there's that! Check him out I guess, at Nerd/Life!
Episode 47 - Exactly What We Said it Was
July 17, 2019 03:17Watch as our entire world shatters before Ron's treachery. Where once there was unity, there is now division. Where once Taika Waititi was directing Thor 4, now he still definitely is and we talked about it only without that traitor. Where rumor once bespoke of a new Mortal Kombat movie, still that is happening with more gore than Byrd can afford. And where once a bunch of nerds were going to storm Area 51, they now should not do that because it's very dangerous and they will likely die. But ...
Episode 46 - Ranger Things
July 10, 2019 03:52That's right, Nerds - we're bringing you the Power Ranger/Stranger Things crossover you've been clamoring for! Exclusive to Nerd/Life's deluxe audio streaming service and regular type podcast! For only $6.99 a month, or like buying us lunch sometimes because there are no more fries in the trash, we're bringing you the latest in Stranger Things Season 3 reviews, Batman's whole dick family, rocket propelled vomit stories, Disney's latest Mulan announcement, and more! Much more! The more you'd n...
Episode 45 - My Dearest Virginia
July 04, 2019 04:56Bringing you all the latest in gentrification and civility, it's your boys at Nerd/Life. We're here to rap about Spider-man, the new Ghostbusters, and maybe even pull up a backwards facing chair to get real about Galaxy's Edge, the black market, Stranger Things, and all the hottest jive that all our fellow young people are fidget spinning about. Check all this and more out on this week's Nerd/Life!
Episode 44 - Sexxxual Nightmares
June 26, 2019 03:37I swear to god guys, we've really set the bar with this introduction. I mean, the episode is awesome - everybody says we do great episodes, just hugely good. But this introduction? I mean, will the Nerd/Life boys ever stop outdoing themselves? Will I ever get to the episode description? Uhh.. Sure, man. Sure. This week's episode is chalk full of prohibitively expensive medical advice, DC commits murder, Christian groups force Netflix to abandon their greatest series yet, Toy Story turns 4, Ta...
Episode 43 - So You've Sold Ron to the Yakuza?
June 19, 2019 03:56So, Ron is dead. Or.. maybe? I dunno. What do the Yakuza even do anymore? I hope you brought your appetite, gentle listener. Because those hunky Nerd/Life boys are bringing all the flavor this week. Whether it's the savory taste of Funko Pop collecting, the tangy zip of My Hero Academia Season 4, or the salty-as-heck crunch of the internet being a misogynistic creep about Avengers: Endgame, they've got it all! So keep your elbows off the table and remember to use the little fork for thi...
Episode 42 - Life, the Universe, and Mothman Prophecies
June 12, 2019 03:54Hot on the coattails of a week that was pretty lackluster in nerd news comes an all-new, all-different week of stuff! The newly announced, freshly aired Swamp Thing's been canceled, the Ghostbusters are getting the band back together, we get finally our ducks in a row, X-Men: Dark Phoenix can't rise above the ashes of its forebears, and the internet poops its best pants yet! All this and more on this week's Nerd/Life!
Episode 41 - Humanity's Savior and Shit
June 05, 2019 03:42Just when you were positive that we weren't going to battle a fifteen foot python to determine the fate of the world, or were at least pretty sure that Chris didn't have ghosts, and like 75% sure there was no way another wizard was going to declare Ryan the Chosen One, and were kinda willing to accept that Ron probably wasn't a laser sword wielding murderer.. all that stuff totally happens anyway. Or it doesn't? You'll probably want to listen to this one to find out, nerds!
Episode 40 - KarateMaster_Jizzblaster
June 01, 2019 05:05Hey, hey, hey. Lifers! We're back and this time we're not paying our 5$ for pizza. We dive in deep this week, talking about such far afield topics as Godzilla, Superman, and Star Wars. For a change. Also we learn who Vanessa Hudgens isn't and for those of you who are fascinated by Stockholm Syndrome, we gain insights into today's youth culture from a special hostage! All this and we gain some valuable feedback from our many listeners! I hope you brought a rain coat, because you're sitti...
Episode 39 - Dungeons and Davids
May 22, 2019 03:38Well, nerds, a Game of Thrones happened for the last time and the internet found more pants to shit in. We bring on a very special guest to help sort through this tragic season finale, discuss the finer points of DC's newly announced Batman actor, and to regale us with the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise. Also, Ryan and Chris force the world into talking Dungeons and Dragons with them - check it out on this episode of Nerd/Life!
Episode 38 - The First Poop
May 16, 2019 04:08If you think this is a joke about how shit Game of Thrones was this week, then you've probably identified our brand of humor but also are totally wrong. We find another excuse to wax poetic about Star Wars, cancel every single X-Man, discover the secret of Marvel's next Spider-man thing, yell at Ron for his pro-murder policy, and also Batman and some turtles do ninja junk together. All this and more on Nerd/Life!
