    5.11: Deviants On Parade

    Things are still very hell in a handbasket in the world, but hey, in a world where Chris Pratt is the voice of both Garfield and Mario - anything is possible. In this episode, we lament the choices that led to AstroWorld and the Alec Baldwin shooting. We also review (and later spoil) Marvel's Eternals and FX's Y The Last Man.
    Keep it locked and listen in for more Bronx-based rascality on Season 5 episode 11 of 2Nerds and an Actor.

    What's goodie!?!? This go-round we review Warner Brother's new Dune movie starring Willy Wonka and MJ alongside a recap of Marvel's fun cinematic universe loophole-a-thon, What If...?
    We also recap things that happened in and around New York Comic-Con and wonder aloud if it was even a good idea to have in the midst of a pancetta/panorama/pan pizza/parallelogram. Does Dune blow the original out of the water? Will What If...? have deeper MCU ramifications? This and more Bronx-based skylarking on season 5, episode 10 of 2Nerds and an Actor.
