🎙️ Episode 46: Logan, New Mutants & The Future of Doctor Who 🎙️
Luch is still apparently trapped somewhere in ICE processing ❄️😅, so once again it's up to Mallory and Matt to steer the Nerdverse... with predictably chaotic results.
🦸 Mallory's Marvel-ous Madness continues as the pair review Logan and The New Mutants. One is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic book movies ever made. The other is... also a movie. 👀
🛸 They also discuss Doctor Who and what the future might hold for the Doctor following recent developments.
🎬 Meanwhile, Matt shares his thoughts on the upcoming The Mandalorian & Grogu and Masters of the Universe. Are they must-see movies or causes for concern?
And because this is Not Quite Nerds, expect plenty of unexpected tangents, random detours, and at least one conversation that goes completely off the rails. 🎢
🎧 It's a packed episode full of Marvel, Star Wars, Doctor Who, and classic Nerdverse chaos.
