Nerd Rage: The Great Debates!

Nerd Rage: The Great Debates!

Every week on Nerd Rage: The Great Debates, your moderator, Marc Abrigo, challenges the funniest stand-up comics, podcasters, and even pro-wrestlers to take sides and square off to settle some of geekdom’s hottest (and often times, weirdest) debates: how many muscle cars does Vin Diesel need to beat Captain America? Is Steven Universe a better frontman than Super Mario? And just what the hell will a lightsaber accomplish in the world of the Matrix? All will be settled -- are you ready to rage?

In our last release of 2022, Marc continues digging into the treasure chest for more of that sweet Nerd Rage content. Recorded earlier this year, this very special unreleased episode of Nerd Rage sees Kristee Ono, Nazelah Jamison, and Becca Henry discussing the idea of "strong female characters" in a very insightful roundtable discourse, free of Abrigo's stupid-ass puns and adversarial debate. Enjoy, and get ready to HAVE ...

In the ultimate battle of fat, cartoony mascots soon to be voiced by Chris Pratt, this episode pulls out all the stops to discuss our favorite lazy orange cat, Garfield, and our favorite turtle-killing plumber, Super Mario.

A scheduling snafu actually has us recording our next batch of shows next week ("My bad, y'all!" - Marc), but in getting everything sorted on the road to our series finale, we found ourselves walking down memory lane and stumbled upon the very FIRST episode of Nerd Rage: The Great Debates -- The "Fast & The Furious" franchise vs. the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Hey, nerds! The show's taking a week off to prep for one of our last (if not the last) Zoom shows before the end of the year. That said, Marc Abrigo and Will Scovill have greenlit this very special preview of Marc's newest project -- "Avatardy: The Late Airbenders," where he and co-host John De Guzman delve into "Avatar: The Last Airbender" for the first time so they can finally understand memes from the cool kids.

On this Very Special (and casual) episode of Nerd Rage, we get silly, serious, chaotic, and loving -- all in the span of just over an hour. We talk topics we wish we could see, debates we wish we would have covered, and also make a fairly important announcement about the future of the show. Holy crap, are we crying? Or are we just ready to RAGE?!

After a long day of recording, sometimes the crew likes to unwind and get a little loose. And on this episode, we turn on the mics and invite you in to see what we debate about. Listen to Stephen Ku and Becca Henry talk swords and bows, and Nick Leonard and Kristee Ono have a discussion about Star Trek. Even when it's time to relax, it's still time to RAGE!
