This is a classic Nerd Goat episode where the screenwriter from X-men First Class (Among many of the movies he has written) talks about Magneto a character that he may have arguably had the most influence on in pop culture. From his roots as in a concentration camp to the decisions he makes as an older man and mutant. We explore the depths of one of the most powerful and interesting mutants in all of Marvel.

This is a classic Nerd Goat episode with Rick Wood talking about how Skeletor is misunderstood and is barely a bad guy. Truly, he is battling against the oppressive regime of a monarchy. That is just an example of the many fun and silly ideas we roll with in this episode. Don't worry everyone. We will be back with new episodes soon.

We all got busy doing various projects and are so sorry for falling behind. We will have new episodes out soon. We thought it would be nice to delve super deep into the past and give you one of our favorite episodes of Nerd Goat with Travis Clark where we talked about KITT from Knight Rider. Enjoy!

“The Greatest Pod Reboots DC Comics” is our attempt to explain what we think is not quite optimized in the modern DC Comics universe. Of course, we talk about reimagining the role of “The Trinity” of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman BUT WE ALSO want to make characters like Bronze Tiger, Lady Shiva, and The Question become more important to the fans. DC has so many forgotten characters that need bolstering and so many sections of their universe that need more exploring. We love DC Black Label and Elseworlds but the main universe needs some rejuvenation babay and we have some ideas. Right or wrong we’re interesting so fire up the ep baby!!

This episode features Ed going crazy in the middle and our special guest, filmmaker Henry McCommas (Wolfman’s Got Nards, The Camp Host) talking him off the ledge. Besides that bit of scintillating radio we have an awesome (if male filmmaker centric) conversation about the “The Greatest Low Budget Movies” of our lifetimes. We’ll do another acknowledging the works of the gals and non binary pals but this one is a fairly two-fisted appreciation of what certain filmmakers, mostly from the 80’s and 90’s, did to start a shoestring budget revolution that ripples till this day.
Check out Henry’s movie “The Camp Host” on Tubi right now and follow him on social media @Hdilla

In this episode titled, “The Greatest Powers Redux” we TRY to have a conversation about the greatest superpowers but it quickly turns into another psychological exploration about the nature of power as conceived of by nerds without it. This time Producer Bill joins us so it gets even more serious and navel gazey but you know us, riffs aplenty and we say five to ten thousand things that could get us canceled. Enjoy!!

In this one we discuss and debate what makes “The Greatest Heist Movies.” Many pieces of media are said to be Rorschach tests, but your appreciation or lack thereof for the heist genre sparks a great conversation about crime, punishment, and taste. What counts as a heist movie? The ingredients seem to be a plan, a crew, and a dramatic need but when you really delve into the genre it’s about the viewer’s relationship with the law. Do you think life is “for the taking” literally? Who do you sympathize with in these movies? The cops, the outlaws, the people playing them both against each other? Bypass the security system and break into this overflowing vault of an episode. Enjoy!

Ed, Ron, Producer Bill, and superb guest comedian Fifi Dosch discuss and debate which is “The Greatest Iteration of Star Trek.” Is it the original that basically started the nerd and convention culture? Is it the Next Generation, Deep Space 9, Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery, Lower Decks, Discovery, Prodigy, Strange New Worlds….Picard??? The discussion is truly star-spanning and the rants come at Warp 9. Star Trek is sci-fi about a mostly hopeful future whose adventures range from drawing room drama morality plays and space exploration to cultural exchange and Space Navy warfare. If you don’t have a favorite Star Trek this is a perfect primer to get into it, if you do have one jump in and disagree with us!

“The Greatest Pod Goes Evil” is about what we would do IF we were evil, which villains we most identify with, and what even is “evil?” Ed, Ron, and Producer Bill discuss the other side of heroism. You get a real insight into our conception of what evil is and why so many revolutionary things are labeled evil even if they are actually justice. Or is that just what someone evil would say??
