Nerds 'R' Us
(Originally recorded July 2021) Join the “general managers” Matt and Joel as they delve into one of the big 3 trading card games from their childhood. Among other topics, they talk about a card-themed Rider show [1’15]; a collectible-compatible Ultra Series [12’]; and introduce yet another new segment for a card-themed anime series [1:04’10]. The video/special episode of our Yu-Gi-Oh duel is not ready YET, but when it is, check out the Patreon page for access! Link will be put here when that’s uploaded. Anybody else think that Matt is trying too hard to remove excess from Joel’s...

Target the Arrow-verse
Nerds 'R' Us
(Originally recorded July 2021) Join the “general managers” Matt and Joel as they attempt to stay on North American soil for their headliner subject (since per usual the rest leans away), they start diving into it 22’27. Among other topics, they lean into the skid with exclusive “commemorative toys” [3’02] (to avoid Ryusoulger spoilers and how it may or may not affect Dino Fury, skip when asked to 8’31); rank something out of magical girl anime (!) [ranking starts after some setup at 45’]; and introduce another self-made hashtag [57’40]. We don’t condone drinking games, for...

Biological Chronicle-d
Nerds 'R' Us
(Originally recorded Apr 2021) Join the “general managers” Matt and Joel as they talk generally about Bionicle at a level that merely scratches the surface of their joint passion for that property [16’01]. Among other topics, they talk about Ultra Q [5’40]; read our very first fan letter on the air [11’34]; and introduce yet ANOTHER new segment [47’30]. The “Unbalance Zone” title is also used on another program of Tsuburaya make. Apologies for neglecting the very serious mention of WHY midnight premieres are no longer the same… How many times did you count Matt interrupting...

Dragonwalker Space Sheriff
Nerds 'R' Us
(Originally recorded approximately April 2021) Join the “general managers” Matt and Joel as they elaborate a bit on the red-headed step-child of Toei’s larger form transforming hero franchises [37”15] (“These numbers” refers to the mid-air X I made with my arms when talking about it, sorry for the lack of visuals). Among other topics, they talk about Kamen Rider Kabuto [2”16] (by the way, “future Matt” is leaving this spoiler skip in the description rather than recording something, jump ahead from 4”48.5 to 13”39); do a Product Review on the love letter to the Ultra...

Primer on Spellcasting
Nerds 'R' Us
(Originally recorded 1/17/2020, Take II on primer recorded 07/2021) Join the “general managers” Matt and Joel as they talk about one of the oldest trading card games that’s still prominent today [37”, for those skipping the primer, leap ahead to 1’14”]. Among other topics, they talk about a certain divisive Red Ranger from the Power Rangers franchise [2”30]; celebrate 20 years of Batman Beyond [12”30]; and rank the Champion-level partner Digimon from Adventure 01 [17”15]. (mea culpa: Angemon is the last to get his Digivolution, but DID manage it once before Ultimate forms...

Going Digital
Nerds 'R' Us
(Take II recorded October 2021) Join the “general managers” Matt and Joel as they attempt branching out (while still staying close to their roots). Among other topics, they talk about Digimon Adventure 01 (around 20’ mark) and a major spoiler warning just about 37:48, which DOES affect the remaining plot summary... [mea culpa: Joe’s Japanese name is indeed Jyou, pronounced the same, but his CREST was called Honesty; ironically Mimi’s Crest was indeed the same between Japanese and English] [extra mea culpa: we tried ending several minutes before we did because the GMs needed to loop...

Ultra Primer
Nerds 'R' Us
Join the “general managers” Matt and Joel as they put some more of their new segments to the test. Among other topics, they talk about the Ultra Series in general; a recent entry in that series called Z; and their initial Product Review about a very old Sentai show. The Product Review, by the way, will normally have one GM call a coin in the air, winners pick their side. (good cop or bad cop) This time was the first so we skip explaining that. Please check out Matt’s other podcast, about creative writing, called “The Writ Wit”, wherever you get your podcasts. To get in touch...

About Our Tokusatsu Journey
Nerds 'R' Us
(“Take two” originally recorded December 2020) Join the “general managers” Matt and Joel as they introduce Nerds ‘R’ Us in this pilot episode. Among other topics, they talk about their journey into the Japanese media called tokusatsu (the characters literally mean special and filming); rank some opening theme songs from an era of Kamen Rider shows; and explain some of the segments that will populate this show. Our rankings of opening theme songs are revealed during the episode proper, but for a sneak peek, here are the average ratings (lower score means lower rating). Kamen Rider...

[mea culpa: Joe’s Japanese name is indeed Jyou, pronounced the same, but his CREST was called Honesty; ironically Mimi’s Crest was indeed the same between Japanese and English] [extra mea culpa: we tried ending several minutes before we did because the GMs needed to loop around and name the entire Digivolutionary line of Tai/Matt (Joel, I DID say Gabumon!)]; the GMs talk about their very first Employee of the Month; and they try to give you tons of reasons to watch the Sentai show Gokaiger (51:05).
