    🎙️ Episode 28: Marvel Madness — The Flashback Episode 🔁🦸‍♀️ With Matt unfit to cast this week 🤧, we take a trip back through time and revisit Mallory’s Marvelous Madness journey from the very beginning.

What still holds up? And which opinions aged… questionably? It’s nostalgia, hindsight, and Marvel memories, all rolled into one very Not Quite Nerds episode. 🎧

    Not Quite Nerds - Ep 24 - Strange Things are happening to us

    🎙️ Episode 24: Stranger Things, Split Opinions & A Mysterious Extra 👾⚡ The Nerds look back at the final episodes of Stranger Things and things get… tense. 😬 There’s dissent in the ranks, strong opinions are thrown around, and for once, the Nerdverse isn’t in total agreement. Can the rift be healed? Is it actually okay to have different takes on a beloved show? (Spoiler: probably… but emotions are high.) And perhaps most importantly, who is that random person in the background? 👀 It’s passionate, chaotic, and very Not Quite Nerds.
