The Disney's Moana Sinks? Joey Valentine Fires Back, The Bear Final Season Review & Hollywood Merger Drama Episode

Another fun-filled episode of Nerds Talking is here! Join Lafayette and Carlos as they bring you another week of entertainment news, movie talk, television reviews, and plenty of laughs. This week, we dive into the surprising box office struggles of Disney's upcoming live-action Moana. With a cast featuring Catherine Laga'aia as Moana, Dwayne Johnson returning as Maui, John Tui, Frankie Adams, and Rena Owen, the film seemed destined for success—but audiences don't appear to be rushing to theaters. Has Disney's live-action remake formula finally run its course? We discuss why these remakes may be losing their magic. Our old friend Joey Valentine is back behind the microphone! After returning with The Joey Valentine Show, he dedicated part of his latest episode to talking about Nerds Talking. We share our thoughts, react to the discussion, and reminisce about our long history together in podcasting. Meanwhile, the proposed Paramount/Warner Bros. deal continues to hit roadblocks. Is this blockbuster merger ever going to happen, or is it destined to become another Hollywood "what if?" We break down the latest developments and explain why we don't think this deal will ever cross the finish line. We also pull back the curtain on how Nerds Talking is made. Contrary to what some listeners might think, we don't write scripts or rehearse our conversations. Every episode is completely unscripted—we simply turn on the microphones, shoot from the hip, and let the conversation go wherever our nerdy passions take us. Finally, we review the final season of The Bear, starring Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, Matty Matheson, and Oliver Platt. Did the acclaimed series stick the landing? We discuss the emotional moments, standout performances, and whether the finale lived up to the hype. Whether you're a movie buff, TV fanatic, gaming enthusiast, or simply love great conversations about pop culture, this episode has something for everyone. Tune in for laughs, nostalgia, hot takes, and plenty of nerdy insights as Lafayette and Carlos help make your day a little more entertaining!

(Yeah... we said it.) You'll have to listen to hear our verdict! (Wikipedia) Looking for your next binge? We also discuss which television series we'd recommend to someone who has somehow gone their entire life without ever watching a TV show.
