Large Nerdron Collider
Part news show, part panel discussion and part blue-sky brainstorming, the Large Nerdron Collider is a podcast that embraces the geekiest of geeky tendencies. Whether it’s a deep discussion over which superhero needs their own standalone film (come on, Squirrel Girl!) or a look at how the changing power dynamics within geek culture are shaping entertainment, the Large Nerdron Collider is here to dive in. Plus, each episode will have a stream-of-consciousness mashup where two or more geeky properties are molded into something new (though not necessarily improved). Ever wondered how the Scooby Doo gang would take down The Jigsaw Killer? So do we, and we’re weird enough to figure it out!
Episodes
The next incarnation of Schmigadoon ditches the wholesome, romantic era of musicals to embrace the cynical, sleazy shows of the 60s and 70s, and we are here for it! Plus, we talk about the Justin Roiland controversy, how the front half of Epcot may soon be able to ditch those construction barricades, and whether or not the D&D film will make its saving throw against Jonathan's indifference. Plus more!
Jonathan talks about his take on both the Velma animated series and the live action adaptation of The Last of Us. He liked one way more than the other. Plus we cover some geek news ranging from Regal Cinemas closing some theaters to what Netflix has in store for us this year.

There's a ton to talk about with the announcement that big changes are coming to DC films and series, and not everyone is going to be happy about it. Is Wonder Woman 3 cancelled?

Plus we talk about some other geek news, react to some trailers, and wonder what the heck is going on in that new Teen Wolf movie coming out.
