HELP, WE’RE NERDS!

Pull up a chair at the roundtable as we turn a cozy podcast into a lively battlefield of pop-culture hot takes. Ethan hosts a romp through nostalgia and nitpicks — from calling Star Wars overrated to arguing whether the sequels ruined a beloved galaxy — while the group digs into the prequels, animated triumphs, and the stories they wish had been told.

Tensions glitter like lightsabers when loyalties clash: one guest defends the ori...

Step into spooky season with the Help We're Nerds crew as they unearth the genre’s roots and reveal how horror became a full-time obsession. With Top Nerd resurrected from her coffin and a host who calls her the “Michael Bublé of horror,” the episode spins a lively, curious tale that moves from 1896’s first horror shorts to Universal’s monster golden age, Nosferatu’s shadowy influence, and Bela Lugosi’s iconic Dracula.

As the conve...

Pull up a chair at the geek table where two lore-hoarding nerds (plus their unsuspecting NPC… Mum) unravel the eldritch spaghetti code of myth, pop culture, and seasonal chaos. From Percy Jackson’s “why-is-this-dropping-in-December?” questline to Orpheus cameoing like the original sadboi bard, this episode patches ancient mythos into the reboot multiverse with equal parts laughter, sibling banter, and Mom-agro.

Expect detours throu...

Welcome back, caped crusaders of couch commentary! On this episode of Help We’re Nerds, we laser-eye our way into James Gunn’s Superman—the DCU reboot that dares to say, “What if hope... but weird?” We’re talking Cavill flashbacks, Hoult glow-ups, and Nathan Fillion reminding us that even in space, sarcasm survives.
