Not Quite Nerds

🎙️ Episode 27: The Team’s Back — Cloak & Dagger, Trek Academy & Marvel Futures 🎙️
The full team is back together and there’s a LOT to catch up on!
This week we dive into Cloak & Dagger, share our thoughts on Star Trek: Academy, and talk through the hype (and confusion 👀) around Wonder Man.
We also take a detour into the world of sitcoms with the Scrubs reboot, what we hope works, what worries us, and whether it’s really necessary.
And to wrap it all up, we look ahead to what’s next for Mallory’s Marvel-ous Madness as the journey continues. 🦸‍♀️✨
It’s full-team energy, fresh takes, and classic Not Quite Nerds chaos.

🎙️ Episode 26: Marvel Madness Highs, Lows & Icy Absences ❄️🦸‍♀️
With Luch lost somewhere in an arctic winterland 🥶, Mallory and Matt hold down the fort and take a moment to reflect on Mallory’s Marvel-ous Madness so far calling out the worst entries to date and teasing the best still to come. 👀🔥
Of course, we don’t stay on track for long. There’s a quick whip-round of the latest nerd news, including thoughts on The Incredibles and Mark Ruffalo, plus the usual collection of tangents you’ve come to expect (and love).
It’s cozy chaos, Marvel hot takes, and classic Not Quite Nerds. 🎙️✨

🎙️ Episode 25: Back to Normal – Marvel Madness, Trek, Who & a New Pick 🎙️ Normality has (mostly) returned to the Nerdverse! 😌
 
This week, we check back in on Mallory’s Marvel-ous Madness, with thoughts on The Punisher, Runaways, and confirmation that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is still very much ongoing. 🦸‍♀️🔥
 
We also spend time in familiar territory with Star Trek and Doctor Who, because some traditions should never be broken. 🖖🛸
And to round things out, we’ve got a brand-new Staff Pick to add to your watchlist. 📺✨
 
Comforting, nerdy, and just the right amount of chaotic, Episode 25 is classic Not Quite Nerds.

🎙️ Episode 24: Stranger Things, Split Opinions & A Mysterious Extra 👾⚡
The Nerds look back at the final episodes of Stranger Things and things get… tense. 😬
There’s dissent in the ranks, strong opinions are thrown around, and for once, the Nerdverse isn’t in total agreement. Can the rift be healed? Is it actually okay to have different takes on a beloved show? (Spoiler: probably… but emotions are high.)
And perhaps most importantly, who is that random person in the background? 👀
It’s passionate, chaotic, and very Not Quite Nerds.

🎙️ Episode 23: Looking Ahead to 2026 – Hype, Hope & Healthy Skepticism 🚀
Mallory is back, and the Nerds are officially looking forward! This week, we talk about what we’re most excited for in 2026  and what we’re a little… less excited about. 👀
From Marvel and DC to the future of Star Trek, we break down the projects that have us buzzing, the ones we’re cautiously watching, and the franchises that always get us talking.
It’s optimism, skepticism, and classic Not Quite Nerds chaos as we set our sights on the year ahead. 🎬✨

🎆🎙️ Episode 22: Home Alone, Avengers Teasers & Blockbuster Memories 🎙️🎆
With Mallory away, Luch and Matt are left home alone to ring in the New Year — and things get delightfully nostalgic.
The duo break down their thoughts on the first teaser for Avengers: Doomsday 👀💥: what it hints at, what it hides, and what has us cautiously excited.
Then it’s a trip back in time as they reflect on their mischievous days at Blockbuster 📼, from late fees to late nights and all the questionable decisions in between.
It’s part hype, part nostalgia, and part chaos, the perfect way to welcome the year ahead.

🎄🎙️ Staff Picks & 2025 Reflections 🎙️🎄
It’s Christmas Day and the final episode of 2025, so we’re closing out the year the only way we know how by looking back at every Staff Pick we’ve made this year. 📚🎬
What surprised us? What stuck with us? And which picks are we still thinking about long after the credits rolled?
It’s a cozy, nostalgic wrap-up filled with nerdy reflections, festive vibes, and a whole lot of love for the things that brought us joy this year.
Thank you for spending 2025 with us in the Nerdverse — and we’ll see you in the new year. 🎅✨

🎄🎙️ This Week in the Nerdverse: Christmas Chaos & Nerdy Reflections 🎙️🎄
This week, we’re getting into the holiday spirit with some Christmas movie recommendations to see you through the festive season; whether you’re after comfort, chaos, or pure nostalgia. 🍿✨
We also take a moment to reflect on 2025, before things get delightfully silly with:
🎁 Marvel Secret Santa — who’s gifting thoughtfully and who’s absolutely phoning it in?
🪨 WB Coal — which franchises are firmly on the naughty list?
🛸 Doctor Who at Christmas — which episodes should be top of your festive watchlist?
 
It’s cozy, chaotic, and full of nerdy cheer the perfect Festive episode.

🎙️ Episode 19: Marvel Madness Returns, Warner Bros Chaos & Tangents Galore ⚡🦸‍♂️🎬
The trio is BACK. Luch, Mal, and Matt reunited for another round of nerdy chaos!
This week in Mallory’s Marvel Madness, we dive into:🕷️ Venom – Did it bite or delight?⚡ Thor: Ragnarok – A cinematic glow-up for the God of Thunder👑 Inhumans – Yes… we watched it. Yes… we have thoughts. Many thoughts.
But the madness doesn’t stop there!We unpack the Warner Bros sale and what it could mean for DC’s future (spoiler: probably nothing good).
And because it wouldn’t be a Not Quite Nerds episode without tangents, we veer gloriously into:🔥 SAS: Rogue Heroes🔱 Percy Jackson🔫 Lethal Weapon
It’s chaotic. It’s nerdy. It’s the trio back at full power.

In this week’s episode, we dive deep into Stranger Things Season 5 (Part 1) unpacking every tense moment, emotional punch, and upside-down twist so far.
And because it wouldn’t be Not Quite Nerds without it… we go all-in on our wildest theories about where the season might head next. Some make sense. Some are unhinged. All are very us.
Grab your Eggos, it’s theory time.
