We discuss and debate what makes something great.

    The Greatest Pod Reboot DC Comics

    The Greatest Pod Reboot DC Comics

    “The Greatest Pod Reboots DC Comics” is our attempt to explain what we think is not quite optimized in the modern DC Comics universe. Of course, we talk about reimagining the role of  “The Trinity” of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman BUT WE ALSO want to make characters like Bronze Tiger, Lady Shiva, and The Question become more important to the fans. DC has so many forgotten characters that need bolstering and so many sections of their universe that need more exploring. We love DC Black Label and Elseworlds but the main universe needs some rejuvenation babay and we have some ideas.  Right or wrong we’re interesting so fire up the ep baby!!

    The Greatest Low Budget Movies with Henry McComas

    The Greatest Low Budget Movies with Henry McComas

    This episode features Ed going crazy in the middle and our special guest, filmmaker Henry McCommas (Wolfman’s Got Nards, The Camp Host) talking him off the ledge. Besides that bit of scintillating radio we have an awesome (if male filmmaker centric) conversation about the “The Greatest Low Budget Movies” of our lifetimes. We’ll do another acknowledging the works of the gals and non binary pals but this one is a fairly two-fisted appreciation of what certain filmmakers, mostly from the 80’s and 90’s, did to start a shoestring budget revolution that ripples till this day.




    Check out Henry’s movie “The Camp Host” on Tubi right now and follow him on social media @Hdilla

    The Greatest Powers Redux

    The Greatest Powers Redux

    In this episode titled, “The Greatest Powers Redux” we TRY to have a conversation about the greatest superpowers but it quickly turns into another psychological exploration about the nature of power as conceived of by nerds without it.  This time Producer Bill joins us so it gets even more serious and navel gazey but you know us, riffs aplenty and we say five to ten thousand things that could get us canceled. Enjoy!!

    The Greatest Heist Movies (Heat, Inside Man, Oceans 11, Point Break and More)

    The Greatest Heist Movies (Heat, Inside Man, Oceans 11, Point Break and More)

    In this one we discuss and debate what makes “The Greatest Heist Movies.”  Many pieces of media are said to be Rorschach tests, but your appreciation or lack thereof for the heist genre sparks a great conversation about crime, punishment, and taste. What counts as a heist movie? The ingredients seem to be a plan, a crew, and a dramatic need but when you really delve into the genre it’s about the viewer’s relationship with the law. Do you think life is “for the taking” literally? Who do you sympathize with in these movies? The cops, the outlaws, the people playing them both against each other? Bypass the security system and break into this overflowing vault of an episode. Enjoy!

    The Greatest Iteration of Star Trek

    The Greatest Iteration of Star Trek

    Ed, Ron, Producer Bill, and superb guest comedian Fifi Dosch discuss and debate which is “The Greatest Iteration of Star Trek.” Is it the original that basically started the nerd and convention culture? Is it the Next Generation, Deep Space 9, Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery, Lower Decks, Discovery, Prodigy, Strange New Worlds….Picard??? The discussion is truly star-spanning and the rants come at Warp 9. Star Trek is sci-fi about a mostly hopeful future whose adventures range from drawing room drama morality plays and space exploration to cultural exchange and Space Navy warfare. If you don’t have a favorite Star Trek this is a perfect primer to get into it, if you do have one jump in and disagree with us!

    The Greatest Pod Goes Evil (Killmonger, Kingpin and more)

    The Greatest Pod Goes Evil (Killmonger, Kingpin and more)

    “The Greatest Pod Goes Evil” is about what we would do IF we were evil, which villains we most identify with, and what even is “evil?” Ed, Ron, and Producer Bill discuss the other side of heroism. You get a real insight into our conception of what evil is and why so many revolutionary things are labeled evil even if they are actually justice. Or is that just what someone evil would say??

Geez Luis, what a Great Pod!

This show is Good enough for Tyler Durden to give a Ninja review in a Furniture Store!

Long story boring

You will never be bored listening to these stories. Long time listener, first time commenter, I love your content, I’m still Charlie Brown moping about the Nerd Goat being inaccessible but these talks are always so insightful. I prefer when all three of you are together ranting and laughing, that when you got a stew, baebaay! Also, if I could get a shout out from Night Whayng, that would be epic! Cheers!

Listen in if you enjoy intelligent and funny discussions and are a nerd!

This review is long overdue. I've been following since The Nerd G.O.A.T. Podcast and Ed's days on Screen Junkies. This show is the whole package. I love how you all discuss all things nerd and "get into the weeds" while still keeping things in perspective and having a sense of humor about it. It's also been a great place for me to learn about things like "The Overton Window." The discussions also connect to real world politics and current events without getting too heavy either. If you haven't listened before, do yourself a favor and tune it. It will be worth your time. I even got a Spotify account going specifically just so I could leave this review! Then I discovered that you can apparently only RATE podcasts on Spotify. So then I went the apple rout (not a native apple user). Finally, here we are. Last things last, Ed, Ron, Bill, keep up the great work!
