    Who belongs on the Mt Rushmore of genre literature?

    This week we welcome back author EC Ambrose to help us select the Mount Rushmore of genre literature. Fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, and horror are fair game for the selections. There are a LOT of amazing authors who write in our favorite genres, so making our final four selections proved incredibly difficult. Let us know what you think of our choices and if you would have gone a different route. Big Nerdy Recommendation #1: Touch by Claire North Big Nerdy Recommendation #2: Golden Kamuy Check out EC Ambrose's books here!

    What Mortal Kombat style fatalities would non-MK characters employ?

    We're back for the second half of Season Three! It's time for a rapid fire episode where everyone on the panel will FINISH HIM! This week, Josh leads Matt, Rachel, Ed, and JP on a journey through Mortal Kombat style fatalties for non-MK characters. How would Teenage Groot knock off an opponent? What about Commander Riker? Thirty characters go through the MK treatment in this insane episode. Please note that, from this point forward, BNQ is not going to bleep any language. We've seen that our audience doesn't seem to matter the occasional curse words.  Theme song credit: "Adventure Meme" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Contact us! bnqfeedback@gmail.com !

    What is the intersection of nerdy franchises with civil rights? Part I (Ft. Jeremy Whitley)

    It's time to get serious as the BNQ crew tackle the huge issue of where nerdy franchises intersect with civil rights in this two-part episode. In Part I, Callie interviews Marvel writer Jeremy Whitley about his hit series "Princeless" and what comics get right and wrong about equal representation of races and genders. Joining them for this part are Josh, JP, Matt, and Colleen. This discussion goes deep, but it might be one of the most important discussions we've ever had on the show. Look out for Part II next week featuring JP's take on the history of racial depictions in animation, Matt's analysis of the X-Men as metaphor for the Civil Rights movement, and Josh's discussion of how Star Trek changed the rules for representation on television. (A fourth section was lost due to technical issues, so apologies for any odd discontinuities.)  Big Nerdy Recommendation from Jeremy: Black Panther: World of Wakanda BNQ is proudly sponsored by FleetWit!
