Not Quite Nerds

This week, the Nerds dive into the back catalogue of Kevin Smith, from cult classics to chaotic curiosities, breaking down what we love, why his films still resonate, and… what some of us have somehow never seen.
👀 From Clerks to the weird and wonderful corners of his filmography, we celebrate the man who made talking an art form and turned loitering into cinema.
It’s nostalgia, debates, and a whole lot of Kevin Smith energy, much like us an dthis podcast, exactly how it should be. 🎧✨

🎙️ Episode 36: Baseball Tangents & HBO Max 🎙️
This week… things go completely off the rails. 😅
Before we even get started, Matt and Luch fall into possibly the biggest tangent yet, somehow ending up deep in “Yankin’ Off” territory and talking baseball ⚾ (don’t ask… just listen).
Eventually, Mallory joins to restore some order (or at least supervise the chaos 👀), and we shift gears to talk about the European launch of HBO Max.
From there, the team shares their must-watch recommendations , including:🎬 Classic favourites✨ Hidden gems🔥 And the obvious heavy-hitters
It’s chaotic, it’s nerdy, and it’s very Not Quite Nerds.

This week in the Nerdverse, things get spicy. 🔥

Meanwhile, Matt and Luch revisit Daredevil Season 1 and kick off Season 2, because it’s always a good time for some Hell’s Kitchen justice. 👿

This week in the Nerdverse, expectations are flipped on their head… 👀
