    Another fun-filled episode of Nerds Talking is here! Lafayette and Carlos dive headfirst into the buzz surrounding the Melania documentary, don’t get it twisted, they haven’t seen it and don’t plan to, but that doesn’t stop the conversation from unpacking its surprising box office crash and the wild claim that it somehow outperformed the original Star Wars (yeah… not even close). The nerds also take a look at Paris Hilton’s documentary missing the top 10, break down the magical, mood-saving phrase “bingo bango,” and explore how a few simple words might flip any bad situation on its head. Movie and streaming reviews are in full effect as the duo share thoughts on The Wrecking Crew (Amazon Prime), Greenland 2, and Anaconda, plus the Disney+ series Wonder Man. Lafayette also delivers a quick-hit opinion on David from Angel Studios. From there, it’s straight into the chaos and nonsense that went down at the Grammys, followed by the latest happenings in entertainment news. Expect laughs, hot takes, random memories, and the signature nerdy energy that keeps listeners coming back for more. Tune in for humor, honesty, and a whole lot of geeky goodness—because with Lafayette and Carlos, you never know where the conversation will go… but it’s always a good time.

    287: One-Word Movie Game, Police Corruption & Viral Press Moments | Weekly Entertainment News Podcast

    Another fun-filled episode of Nerds Talking! Lafayette and Carlos are back with the latest in entertainment news, sharp commentary, and plenty of laughs. This week, the nerds kick things off with the return of the One-Word Movie Game—you get three words, and you’ve got to name that movie. Play along and see if you can beat the hosts! Next up, the crew dives into a review of the Netflix crime thriller The Rip, directed by Joe Carnahan. Starring Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Steven Yeun, the film follows a group of Miami cops who stumble upon a stash of millions in cash. As word of the seizure leaks out, paranoia sets in, trust erodes, and everyone starts questioning who they can really rely on. Is it a gripping crime drama or just another slick heist tale? The nerds break it all down. The conversation continues with a review of The Seven Dials, sharing early impressions, standout moments, and whether the series is worth sticking with. But before wrapping up, things take a turn into pure absurdity. The crew can’t ignore the ridiculousness of Dr. Verma, who somehow struggles to answer a question that even a young child could handle. And then there’s the king of snake-oil salesmen, Gavin Newsom, who also can’t seem to give a straight answer to a straightforward question. Is it incompetence, avoidance, or something else entirely? One thing’s for sure—the nerds have thoughts, and our society might just be broken. Tune in for laughs, memories, hot takes, and plenty of nerdy insight as Lafayette and Carlos bring humor and smiles to your day.

    Another fun-filled episode of Nerds Talking! is here, and Lafayette and Carlos are back behind the mic bringing the perfect mix of pop culture, laughs, and nerdy debates. This week, the crew dives deep into the latest entertainment news, kicking things off with a spoiler-light review of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, the highly anticipated third installment in Rian Johnson’s hit murder-mystery franchise. With Daniel Craig returning as the unforgettable Benoit Blanc, the film delivers an eerie, brain-twisting case involving a seemingly impossible murder at a church in upstate New York. The discussion highlights standout performances from a stacked ensemble cast including Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Mila Kunis, Josh Brolin, and more, as well as how this chapter compares to the previous Knives Out films and what it adds to the evolving legacy of the series. But it wouldn’t be Nerds Talking without going delightfully off the rails. The conversation takes a hilarious (and surprisingly important) turn as the fellas tackle a real-world question that should have an obvious answer: Do you wash your hands after using the urinal? Spoiler alert—you absolutely should, and the crew explains why, with plenty of humor and zero shame. From murder mysteries and movie magic to life lessons you didn’t know you needed, this episode is packed with laughs, memories, and sharp nerdy insights.
