Nerdy News Special #13: Velma Returns, Stellar Blade Censorship and the Resurgence of Fallout

Prepare to get your mind blown by Hollywood's latest dance with AI—yes, we're talking silver screen magic sprinkled with artificial intelligence. As OpenAI takes a seat at Tinseltown's table, we weigh in on the groundbreaking innovations reshaping filmmaking and the fierce debate over the soul of creativity. From the CGI blunders to My Hero Academia's unexpected narrative twist with Dark Mike, we peel back the curtain on how fan-powered stories sometimes steal the spotlight from official canon.

Strap in for a whirlwind tour of sequel mania and Marvel mayhem, where Kendrick Lamar's South Park collab might just redefine crossover expectations. We'll also tackle the titanic "Godzilla Minus One" and the cinematic buzz around mutants—will they shake up the Marvel Universe? Meanwhile, the animation world isn't snoozing; we're chatting about the future of the Black Panther legacy and the surprising prospect of an Among Us animation. Let's not forget about the industry shake-ups with Funimation's shutdown and the shift in anime distribution—it's a rollercoaster, folks.

Now, let's dial down the drama and talk about the oddities: robotic dogs with flamethrowers (yes, you heard that right!) and Earth's new mini-moon 'Kamo' stirring up stormy speculations. We're rounding off with some real talk about celebrity feuds that have us reminiscing over the days of authentic rap battles, plus a dive into the tricky business of contracts and the eternal struggle for net neutrality. So, thanks to you, our dear listeners, and a special shout-out to Tuck, Talos, and Tanara for their insights—it's been another episode for the books!
