Nthcast - A Nerd Podcast

We assume you've seen it, so if we spoil anything that's your own fault. We dive deep into what we liked and didn't like about the movie. Like why was Finn so out of breath in every scene? Don't Stormtroopers do cardio? And where did Kylo Ren's hair disappear to when he put his helmet on? Because when he took it off, it was totally bouncy and full-bodied. Must've kept it in a top knot... Let's hear from you! Contact us at...

Once upon a time there were two bearded weirdos or beardos, as some would say, who decided they would take a break from their normal madness to discuss fairy tales. Yeah, that's right we dig fairy tales. Mainly because most are rather gruesome and downright grim when you get right down to it...(see what I did there?)

Is Mission Impossible:Rogue Nation the best movie of the summer? Is it better than Mad Max: Fury Road? Is it better than the Bourne movies or even James Bond? A resounding 'Hell No' is our answer...but why? Why can't we bring ourselves to like this critical darling? And people are going to see it by evidence of the box office...hmmm, let's discuss why we differ from the nom. Shall we?

Star Wars vs Star Trek...I'm not sure why we thought this was a good idea, but we tried to take opposing sides in the nerd debate of the ages. Did we bring honor to the respective franchises or did we fail miserably? And Spock vs Darth Vader? Really? How does that even work in the real world? We'll try harder on the next episode... We should've just watched 'The Carbonite Maneuver' and been done with this whole thing...https://youtu.be/IuYhjAXIAro Let's chat via Twitter or Email: Josh - twitter.com/nthcast or josh@nthcast.com JD- twitter.com/nthcastmetal or jd@nthcast.com Thanks for listening!

Episode 35: Ant-Man, a Metal Minute, & the Austin Cobra... Ant-man was a fun ride! Great casting (Paul Rudd made us a little nervous, but he pulled it off!), great story, and cool action made for an enjoyable summer flick. JD gives us a less than glowing recommendation of the new Coal Chamber album...And why the hell was there a cobra loose in Austin, TX?! Read up on the Austin Cobra -http://www.texasmonthly.com/daily-post/let-us-remember-austin-cobra And apparently, if you're saying at the Ritz Carlton in Abu Dhabi, you can get you a camel milkshakes -http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/10166824/Camel-milk-latte-anyone.html (Why wouldn't you?)

Episode 34: Video Game adaptations can be a mixed bag, but there are plenty of great movies that use video games as a backdrop. We discuss the movie eXistenZ and why we want to escape our reality into a world of pure fantasy where consequences for our actions are nonexistant...or are they. We also talk about the plethora of movie trailers released at this year's San Diego Comic Con. (Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, Deadpool, Ash v Evil Dead, X-men: Apocalypse)...
