Nerd of Mouth

Look! It's a nerd! It's a podcast! It's a nerdy podcast about the importance of Superman just as a new iteration of the trunks wearing titan appears on the big screen. Why do people say Superman is boring? Why does he constantly get compared to Batman? And really, was that N64 game more fatal to Superman's reputation than a pocketful of Kryptonite? Our hosts both analyze and celebrate the man of steel, talking as passionately and e...

If you watched the janky oddity that is the 2017 Death Note movie or the Scarlet Johansson Ghost in the Shell that also came out in 2017 (what a tough year) this is the episode for you! Anime is massive and yet a successful live action adaptation of one that's as good as the source material seems harder to find than the one piece treasure (With One Piece being the exception that breaks the rule) . Jake explains why this is and we a...

In this bonus episode, Holden is joined by LPN's in house Disney Dude, Ed Larson, to rank some of the Disney live action remakes!

And don't forget! If you are in the LA area, Ed will be co-hosting "Dead Men Tell Some Tales: A Dark Dive Into Disney History" on August 21st!

Hi ho nerdy listeners!!! Be our guest as we discuss the whole new world of Disney Live Action remakes over the past decade or so. Some have been great and some have been bippity boppity garbage. Our three hosts who have the wit of Timon and look more like Pumba delve into this cinematic phenomenon. And yes we watched the new Snow White and never once say "go woke go broke" and not just because everyone else has.

Are we born nerds or are we raised to be them? What impact does our environment have on who we are and what we love and just how important are the people around us? Our hosts open up about how they were raised and whether or not they think they were meant to still love Mario and She Hulk in their 40s. This one's got Jake deep diving into genetics, Holden's attempts at getting his dad to play Balatro, and Mike talking about how the ...

Having a bad fur day? Well throw on your leisure suit, escape monkey island and join us as Holden takes us through the history of humor in video games in an episode demanded by all those Toe Jam and Earl and Boogerman fans. What makes humor work in video games and when does it fall flatter than a pickup line in Arkham City? Plus a dissection on why quips are the most overly used form of humor now in both video games and everything ...

Holden talks us through that once beloved tradition that was born of both cinema and corporate synergy: The summer movie song. Whether it was Seal grinding on a Bat Signal, Kenny Loggins singing about jet planes, or a montage of Mr. T set to a pulse pounding track about tiger eyes, the summer movie song was everywhere...until it just wasn't anymore. What exactly happened and more importantly what are our cohosts going to pick as th...

Face front true believers and angry accusers!!! It's the trial of the century where we argue about that guy that was almost alive for a century: Stan Lee. Is this man also this monster we've made him out to be? That passionate prosecutor Mike Lawrence takes on diligent defense dork Jake Young while Holden (and you listeners) reach a verdict. Is Stan Lee the astonishing architect of a beloved universe or is he merely the housekeeper...

As Jake was starting to talk about the collectors market for video games last episode Mike interrupted (productively for once) to suggest the world of collecting deserved it's own episode. So here it is! Jake talks the video game collecting boom that started a few years ago and the corruption that followed, Holden talks about the insane rise of Pokémon fever and Magic cards, and Mike has some articulated points on collecting action...

With his steady calculator and studious notes handy, Jake makes like an Atari Jaguar and does th math to talk Holden and Mike through the expensive cartridge highs and cheap ass CD ROM lows of video game pricing. And where are we headed next? Will you spend triple figure prices on Triple- A games or will rising prices finally make us all Nintendo Switch to another hobby that actually involves going outside?

Finaaaaaaaalllllly the pod has come to pro wrestling and if you’re not down with that we got two words for you: Listen Anyway! Mike gives a hell of a sell on the merits of pro wrestling. Jake and Holden share their personal history with the squared circle and we get into some of the specific personalities that make wrestling what it is, how to enjoy it, and yes admit that every fan knows it’s fake, doesn’t care, and actually likes ...

An episode on the very history of nerds? Did we do that? Yes we did. Jake explains the history of the nerd archetype, where the word comes from, and how nerds were at first the antithesis of what young boys should strive to be. Holden and Mike bring up various portrayals of nerds in pop culture and we all share our Big Bang Theory theories and wonder just where do we go now that nerds have certainly had their revenge and are the ev...

They can't just kill the Looney Tunes...can they?
What's up dorks! That wascally Wall Street is trying to get rid of our beloved Looney Tunes so of course you know this means war. Holden, Jake, and Mike gush about the merriest of melodies to ever crawl out of Termite Terrace and how Max (the streaming service, not Montana) is scrubbing everything both looney and tooney away. But not all is lost! The Earth hasn't completely blown up...

We're so thankful that you are fans of us, especially on this, our fourth podcasting journey into the mouth of Nerdom where we dare ask "Can a fandom ruin a thing?" Perhaps Rick and Morty is a good enough show to overcome the bittersweet Szechuan rage of it's fans. Maybe Swifties do swiftly make some of us reconsider listening to any pop star. And yeah, we reckon with our thoughts on the Punisher. Don't worry, we keep it find funny...

Greetings Nerd of Mouth Breathers, on this, our third episode "Is it Too Late to Get Into Anime?" Mike reveals that anime is quite the blindspot for him and gives an oversharing deep dive on why! But thankfully the combined powers of our whimsical weebs Jake and Holden share their own anime origin stories and give some recommendations to Mike. If you like lots of gushing and also someone saying "Hey, I'm 42, how do I approach thi...
