    Episode 110 - Season 6, Pick up Sticks

    Season 6 is HERE, Nerds! Analese and Rob are back behind the mics and ready to pick up sticks for another season of Nerd Best Friends! But first, we have some catching up to do. We’re kicking off Season 6 with a look back at our nerdy summer—the movies, TV, adventures, fandoms, and general nerd nonsense that kept us busy while we were away. Then we look ahead at what’s coming this season, including more nerdy conversations, pop culture deep dives, Nerd Film Reviews, Nerd Travels, special guests, and probably several topics we haven't even thought of yet. Because that's what Nerd Best Friends is all about: the nerdy conversations you're already having—or wish you were. Plus, Season 6 means even more ways to join the Nerd Herd! Support us on Patreon for bonus content, early access, extras, and more nerdiness that doesn't always make it into the regular feed. So grab your best nerd friend, hit play, and answer the most important question of all: What’s the nerdiest thing YOU did this summer? Nerd Best Friends — a podcast about movies, TV, comics, gaming, fandom, nostalgia, pop culture, and all the things that make being a nerd so much fun. Season 6. Pick up sticks. Let’s get nerdy.
