    Akira Toriyama Tribute Special

    Akira Toriyama Tribute Special

    It's a Fake Nerd Special - A Tribute to Akira Toriyama!
    The incredible mangaka and character/model designer, Akira Toriyama, has sadly passed away. In light of this news, there was a desire to come together and share just how much the works of this incredible man meant to us. Fake Nerds Brandon T. McClure, Sparkz Witty, and Ben Magnet gather with their special guest, Phai Giron, to share when Toriyama's work changed their lives and what it's meant to them. There are stories of first encounters with Dragon Ball, expressions of gratitude for his contributions to ourselves, along with praise for the impact of all his creations on the global scale. Whether Dragon Ball, Chrono Trigger, Dr. Slump, or another work; Akira Toriyama has left a deep and unforgettable impact on all of us. This was a way for us to share in our love for his art and say a big thank you for everything he gave us.
    "Tackle life with as much energy as Goku! I'll try to do the same!" - Akira Toriyama

    Cine-Files: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World Review

    Whenever there is a film that demands the discussion of the Fake Nerds, be it an older one worth re-visitation or brand new, it ends up here in the Fake Nerd Cine-Files!
    This is our review of the comic book film adaptation: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Directed by Edgar Wright, written by Michael Bacall and Edgar Wright, based on the comics by Bryan Lee O'Malley.
    Ryan, Ben, and Sparkz are continuing their Scott Pilgrim journey towards the new show by revisiting the cult classic film!
