This is SPOILER FILLED, watch the show before you listen!!

Initial reactions - wrapped up too fast? Questioning reality, but still a strong favorite, why six episodes, why not 8? Sub-realities and Layla should have taken the gun, but is Harrow bullet proof? Cane evolved, you need to show me your soul, so uncomfortable Tawaret, Amit's servants are like bad relationships.. whatever. You're the only real superpower I ever had, what bullets actually do, and water shooting out of bullet holes. Mark and Steven switching with the suits, we come as a package deal now, Amit is in her 3rd evolution, an Layla is looking awesome, what does Jake's suit look like? Marvel pulls the rug out from under you, twice. 

This is SPOILER FILLED, watch the show before you listen!!

We will probably get more Egyptian gods, flares plus bullets equals explosion? Where is everyone at the camp? Scooby doo song, technically not cheating, meaty bits and blood and bone. Gun shots and clicking, squelching, and dropping organs in jars. Throw a vase! Squish a mummy! Pull a hand off! Don't throw the hand away, you could use it as a weapon! History stuff, Harrow reading minds, and reaching in the mouth of Alexander the Great. Is that the only exit, or... ? Theories about the third personality, and breaking down the psych ward scene. Donna, a pigeon, goldfish, tied with the same restraint from his bed, little taskmaster toy, stone god, painting like the alps, glass pyramid, Tomb Buster, cane, sandals, gold alligator head. Egyptian Hippo!

This is SPOILER FILLED, watch the show before you listen!! 

A third (very violent) personality, best knife fight scene ever. Brushing up on our Egyptian gods knowledge from very different sources, hey cool kids where can I get some drugs. Big spears and Senfu, Marc is praying, and amazing gun disarm. Arthur can apparently read minds, Crescent moon cape!! Bullet deflecting and bone breaking, apparently he can just live through huge spears. Messing with the skies, god of the moon not god of the land. 

This is SPOILER FILLED, watch the show before you listen!! 

Still Gabe's favorite, Steven is an alternate? Steven is a fracture for Layla? James McAvoy is the very best in Split - Oscar Isaac brought his A game. You start to question reality, but get some validation. Scarab is compass? Please go to sleep on the cot, Morbius? Steven is a virgin but Marc is definitely not, cahoots with Ammit, was his mind easy to break or was it already broken? Layla is a badass, Steven summons a suit, please give Marc control. Unskilled British Deadpool. Assassin's Creed parkour. Some people just need to be removed. 

This is SPOILER FILLED, watch the show before you listen!!

Gabe's favorite Marvel show, Oscar Isaacs is amazing, the most relatable character so far, his life is so sad. His mom is totally dead, Marc definitely set up the date. Minority report with Egyptian gods, spidey sense, and Marc was def looking for a one fish. Mirrors are so scary, badass look for Moon Knight.

Cody has no idea where we are,  the mirror of Erised, if he thought those nuns were mad before, Luke was for sure gonna kill Kylo, Force Yoda is a freak out moment, Luke is melodramatic, Holdo's plan was fine and Poe commits mutiny. Knock off Beskar, order of events with Holdo could have been better, shocker that the guy in jail betrays them. All the actors were amazing, Chrome Dome, rebel scum, I know who your parents are, ruining the throne room scene for Heidi, it's fine. Hugs, Rey did it, mini death star, and Luke brushing off his shoulder. 

New look, same bullshit! Starting in strong with debates about Holdo. Reylo, Ahch-To, and the lightsaber handoff was handled pure Marvel style. Broken Hero Luke, this is Luke's retirement plan? What's the deal with space Leia? The roller coast of Leia dying was a lot as a Star Wars fan, and Luke's sacred island. Don't just tell Poe to "trust you", Rey starts her training, BB8 ate a bunch of coins to spit them out later, and Darth Sidious is mentioned in live action. Ruining the movie for Heidi, it's fine. 

This is SPOILER FILLED, watch the show before you listen!!

Great Value Avril Lavigne, we needed more Danny Trejo, we could have had two Rancors for sure. Reviewing our theories, Luke is def being whiney about Grogu's choice, Bane shows up so early, and he's a gossipy bitch. Hey Luke that's your sister, Krrrsantan really took a beating this episode, Mando is ride or die. Shooting from the knee, Freetown, Rancor fighting, and quick gafi stick moves. Character redemption and Tusken yells, cute Grogu cuddling a rancor, and master assassin work. 

This is SPOILER FILLED, watch the show before you listen!!

S3 E2 of the Mandalorian titled "Fan Service" was super great. Boba will get his redemption in another series. Oooo boy that stranger, captioning R2, a buffet of frogs, force floating Grogu, force trauma, all the characters from every series, attachments? Huh? The difference between the Jedi and the Mandalorians - almost like a difference in religions, backpack backpack, baby carrier, trying to stir up lightsaber PTSD, "you're so much like your father", dynamic between Ahsoka and Luke. Stoic Boba and muscle, Jawas are going to be the foot soldiers? More like convenience town, and our minds were blown by the stranger in the desert. that deputy is gonna get us all killed. Theories about the series finale. 

This is SPOILER FILLED, watch the show before you listen!! 

Reacting to Mando's reveal, apple juice and crystals, bounty hunting, the dark saber is sentient and biting, there's a halo ring, and the armorer definitely made it out with a hammer and pliers. Is Sabine the rightful owner of the Elder Wand? I challenge you to a duel, religious zealots, Mythosaurus Rex, commercial flights, where was Boba in this episode? Jawas would steal the legs off Darth Maul if you let them. 

This is SPOILER FILLED, watch the show before you listen!! 

Initial reactions - forgettable, tattoo parlors save lives. Dollar Store General Grievous, and Fennec has the best Swiss Army Batman utility gun. Firespray gunship does a Firespray, apparently he doesn't remember anything about the Jawas. Fennec is still a little sus, and a better strategist. Lizard Limbs and Mandalorian music.  

This is SPOILER FILLED, watch the show before you listen!! 

Loyalty is happening quickly, Vitamin C makes a resurgence, Lazlo is 8D8, shout out to What we do in the Shadows. Pykes probably sent the assassin, quite the hodgepodge, Boba hates water the way Anakin hates sand. Boba is slippery, how was no one guarding him, the street gang are the space power rangers. Danny Trejo is a Mexican idol, the Rancor is going to be the litter, they're not conjoined, and some theories.  

This is SPOILER FILLED, watch the show before you listen!! 

Indigenous... homeowners? Empathy and compassion for Tusken Raiders... are we the bad guys?? Overpriced assassins, mayor plot development, are those twins conjoined? Time with the Tuskens, shooting at a train, who are we rooting for here? Feigning ignorance, people are definitely buying lizards now. Laying on your back waving your arms around, forging a Gaffi stick, and speculation about what Tusken faces actually look like. 

This is SPOILER FILLED, watch the show before you listen!! 

Initial reactions to the series starting, breaking out of the Sarlac, and lightsaber go brrr is back. Tusken Raiders and dreams, and what they must think of Anakin. Is that a no, debates about litters, ruling with respect and not fear. Just assassins, probably from the mayor. the sand monster look like Goro.

This is SPOILER FILLED, watch the show before you listen!! 

Cody is unhappy with the musical end scene, partners working in the lab, Jack has a weird flex, we really need a Hawkeye and the Black Widow show. Lots of purple, those arrows were so crazy, owl in the tree, questions about Pym arrows that never get answered. Breaking down Kate's mom and Kingpin - what is he? Rating our favorite Marvel series, Lucky, and Jack LARPing. 

Dreading covering The Last Jedi, Rey and Kylo on Starkiller base, looking up a 5 head on that doll, Adam Driver is the hottest ugly guy out there, or ugliest hot guy? These guys need to be super close to use the force on each other, why isn't Kylo a Darth, Hux and Kylo vying for attention, Rey learning to use the force for mind control, MSP = Mary Sue Palpatine not Manager Scan Point, there's always a way to blow it up, Pirates of the Caribbean reference, Captain Statura is a pirate, the most basic of Star Wars plans. Ewoks are still scary, Obi-Wan Solo, Finn worked in maintenance.

This is SPOILER FILLED, watch the show before you listen!!

Brief spoiler free reaction to Spider-Man, Ima stop you right there I don't believe in dinosaurs. Seeing a blip from the inside standpoint, don't trust Kate's mom, we need a Hawkeye and the Black Widow team up. I've never worked a day in my life, is Natasha with Gamora? Ronin and Echo, and what characters could be brought in from other shows.

This is SPOILER FILLED, watch the show before you listen!!

CB-One, what do people actually know about Natasha's Death? Pieces leading up to kingpin, Thanos was Right merch, icing with daiquiri mix, we'll burn this bridge when we get to it, and you can lead a horse to water but you can't teach it new tricks. Does that arrow stay big forever? Gabe's dream cameo is Michael Pena's Luis, Larpers keep it where we can't see it, Hawkeye is funny without trying, Kate was being cringey, Yelena debut.

Gabe still hates Ooo-we-nay, and hopes he went down with the Death Star. What did Darth Vader actually start ... Kylo Ren has no f*cking clue. Chiming in with Panic at the Disco, the weirdest set up to a love story that never went anywhere. JJ Abrams took the check and went out with middle fingers up. BB8 can go on silent mode but then he sounds like a roomba, the vision scene was really well done. That saber has really bad karma, the Nazi Germany references are really on the nose, Rey would not survive long in an 80's horror movie, questions being asked that don't get answered. Plot twist, it was Maz Kanata the whole time!! We definitely agree who the best character is.

This is SPOILER FILLED, watch the show before you listen!! 

Initial reactions, is Echo really an antagonist? Tracksuit mafia and specialized arrows, why is Hawkeye immune from backlash when destroying a bridge? We know the sign for Black Widow, and who Echo answers to. Theorizing about Kingpin, Yelena, and Clint.

This is SPOILER FILLED, watch the show before you listen!! 

Surprise Episode! We have decided to do some reaction episodes, to the series as they release. Join us for our first one, as we reaction to Hawkeye Episodes 1&2. Hawkeye is Cody's favorite Avenger, we love/hate the musical, don't do weird shit in public. Black belt at 15? Tracksuit bros, fight fight fight and then run around, the dog's name is Pizza, throwing back Molotov cocktails, LARPing embarrassment, lots of reasons to wear a hearing aid, and speculation about Yelena.

Waking up in the desert, Poe was apparently just naked. Good thing Storm Troopers wear onesies, that creature has a Hank Hill ass. Finn is with the resistance, we make tie fighter noises, rations boy goes to Exegol. Millennium Falcon and Solo appear, Bigfoot with a bowcaster, metal dodgeball sounds, Kullens, Dom kills a Rathtar because family, Hux and Kylo fighting, it's all true. I've never seen so much green screen in all my life!

We begin to recap the sequels. It's like a duel of the directors, Mary Sue, Heidi wants to punch the internet. These movies don't belong with the Skywalker Saga, the First Order took 30 years to rise, BB8 is cute, these stories are circular, Finn gets Rafiki'd, Kylo's poorly-made lightsaber, Anakin vs Kylo - who would win, who talks first you talk first I talk first? Captain Phasma was part of Clan Visla, Rey being a scavenger, granddaughter with a robot x2, Hux and Kylo, and Rylo Ken. That tie fighter is tethered like a horse, why does everyone want to go back to Jakku??!

Thanks for listening to Nerd Post Podcast! We are making the switch to Bi-weekly releases, to better accommodate our schedules and listeners. We are still excited to be recapping our favorite movies and shows and look forward to releasing new episodes every other week! Follow us @NerdPostPodcast for more updates and new content!

Rylo Ken, Lando is listening to soft Jazz while waiting for Han, I was Darth Vader but now I'm Super Darth Vader, Super Duper Death Star, could Edward Cullen defeat Darth Vader, Vampires get their power from Kyber crystals and use the force, Luke is really bad at hide and seek. Pick up a mfr and throw him down the shaft, egghead Vader, stormtroopers kill each other for spots on the ships, funeral pile yule log, one last awkward Ani for the road. 

Don't tell me how to live my life, Heidi watches garbage, awkward father/son interactions, speculation about the Obi-Wan series, Luke turning to the dark side, Salacious Crumb just took a lot of spice, our boy Rex makes an appearance, there's only 10 floors in the Death Star, the emperor is being petty, Ewoks are wreaking havoc, your equipment was bought by the cheapest seller, "I can feel your anger..." Luke is a trophy wife, Cold blooded Ewok murder, Han cops a feel, Luke and Vader duel. 

Nerd Post shirts, Drunk Star Wars, we needed a second Solo movie, Mon Mothma a pacifist?  Admiral Ackbar trivia, if Heidi can understand the plan it's probably not a good one, that ship is his dead ex-girlfriend, search it on urban dictionary. We are still finding Galen Erso's work from beyond the grave, lightsabers igniting on screen, Ewoks! C-3PO is not threatening to anyone, Guy on a Buffalo, Drinking out of Cups, not my chair not my problem, narwhals are real. 

Gabe hates "Ooo-wee-nay", Luke's character development, Sarlaccs have a lot more going on under the surface, Luke is swinging a baseball bat, Hondo is there, did Boba get partially digested? Slave Leia trivia, Salacious Crumb, aren't you blind? The Skywalker family doesn't keep their right arms very often, I love you but I'll freaking kill you, Yoda disappears, from a certain point of view!

Vile Jabba the Hutt, a second Death Star in 1/19th of the time, Jer-Jared,  walking through the Tunisian desert (again), is that droid being drawn and quartered? Lando is in Tobias Beckett's costume, Han looks like he's on a two day hangover, props for being able to wheel and deal, slave Leia, Chewbacca is spooning Han, Bib Fortuna gets Jedi mind tricked, and Luke is dropped into a Rancor pit. 

Who's your favorite character, he's a strange tiny little man, Darth Vader and Luke duel, Spongebob is G.O.A.T. (not), "normally I'd agree with you, but..." Cloud city has handrails, it's someone else's hand right? "No, I am your father", and how the reveal actually went. Misquotes are fine, Luke nopes on out of there, just hold yourself there my guy you're so dramatic, Lando's actually the architect, free for all kisses, s-o-d-a soda, our PG-13 and Deadpool segments.

A mailman is violently shaking a stall door, E Chuta is a slur, Dagobah is Taco Bar, Obi-Wan is hiding behind a tree and popping out, and lying to Luke when it's convenient. It's ok, when this one dies I'll get to train the one I want to, Ugnaughts are present, Norman Rockwell painting, Han sucker punches Lando, Lobot is Echo, are cats marsupials?

Chewbaaaca, not everything needs a backstory, Yoda would have rather trained Leia. Boy, you're not that smart but you are hard to kill. What would have happened if Luke had died on Hoth, Lando calls Leia "Layer", the Chosen One is a recurring theme, I'll just make him stand his head. 

Heidi recaps her experience in an airport, how is a rogue squadron ranked, lots of first person crashes, how to take an AT-AT out, and Gibby's stunt double actually bounces. Vader flies on hate and anger alone, Cody Naruto runs with his Vader helmet on. We make it off Hoth and onto Dagobah, Leia flies thorough space for sure, R2 is spitting up with anxiety, and Yoda is hitting R2 with a stick. Search your feelings, you know it to be true...

What's a zeitgeist, Han is riding his Tauntaun and cracking his whip, we need duct tape for C3PO, what did they use for those intestines? Pole to pole or hole to hole but never pole to hole, I'm not gonna lay down until Jabba goes back in the hut. What happens in a Tauntaun stays in a Tauntaun. If you had the chance to kiss your sister, would ya?

Heidi has a twitch, Darth Vader drives a tide pod, sister simp, bring Owen Wilson into all our nerddoms. Daft Punk is Vader's wingman, "now this is podracing". Beggars canyon has no context, and Vader shoots R-2 (?!?) Explosions are fireworks, and we wrap up our first original movie recap. Join us for our first Deadpool segment.

We continue to recap A New Hope, covering what happens in the Death Star. Obi-Wan is ping-ponging through the Death Star, Deadpool shows up, droids escape super easily because storm troopers are super easy to trick. Heidi takes a drink for every SpongeBob reference, I will cut all 4 of your limbs off, just ask your grandmaster. Vader kicks at a pile of robes.

Luke orders alcohol like a child, I don't trust anything that Han says, the falcon is a piece of garbage. Leia is extra salty, Luke is at the level of a force-sensitive 4 year old, and Chewie rips off arms. That's no moon!

We continue our recap of A New Hope. Cody opens in a Darth Vader helmet, we compare Krayt Dragon calls, Heidi thinks shirtless Ewan McGregor listening to Enya is super hot, but Obi Wan loses his mind in the desert. Your father died medium rare, nobody's gonna watch this; 40 years to explain all this BS.

We begin our recap of a New Hope. Random trivia, WTF is a force ghost, and NPP field trip to the Tunisian desert. Cody ad-libs R2's dialogue, Darth Vader uses the force for sparkles, and couldn't get the sand out of his crevices. R2 is beep boxing through the desert,  ring = droids, Luke is whiney and needs a few days under the staircase, and you can be the Cersei to my Jaime. 

We finish our recap of Rogue One. We recap Jyn, Cassian, and K-2SO's struggle in the tower, and Darth Vader showing up. It's been a hell of a ride babe, get that bitch under control, and of course there's still no space OSHA. Something bit me, Vader is melodramatic, he probably held the door shut while he was slaughtering rebels. We wrap up Rogue One with our PG-13 segment.

We begin to recap the climax of Rogue One. Answers about Parsecs that no one asked for, and why a hot dog not a sandwich? R2 knows too much, AT-ATs are something to RUN from, Gabe is here for space wizard-samurai hybrids, F-U Wings, and AT-ACTs are like the difference between a frog and a turtle. Don't worry Baze, if they strike me down I'll be more powerful than they can ever imagine. We play a game of Kylo-Baze-Death Trooper, and Manson's "Tainted Love" is playing.

We continue our recap of Rogue One. Darth Vader has his Disney princess castle on Mustafar, Krennic needs a win, Scarif is beautiful, I'm sure there's one just lying about, and the rebels have thermal detonators. Rogue.... uh, one?

We continue our recap of Rogue One, apologies for terrible audio at the beginning. Great Value Darth Vader does not take showers, Budhi Rock's mother's name is Martha too. That's no moon, Saw has a great final line, the Death Star is renewable energy, and Galen has a great death scene as well. My blaster isn't in sniper configuration, why do you ask?

We begin our recap of Rogue One. If the beginning doesn't startle you, were you even paying attention? Introduction to "Boodhi" and we love K-2SO. Metal feet must be jenky, and we get great value Darth Vader. Tarkin's face isn't that bad, and Chirrut Imwe is amazing. We need a Chirrut and Baze buddy cop movie.

Teras Kasi involves a lot of arm flapping, and speaking of arms Chewbacca does some weird stuff with the arm he ripped off. We play a game of wookie-pyke-sentry guard, Lando really is a robo-sexual, the Kessel run was done in 12.9997 parsecs, and the coaxium switch was actually a really good plan. We close out Solo, a part 2 would have actually been great. Hashtag confirmed, Han shot first.

We continue to recap Solo, starting with the failed heist on Vandor. Erin Kellyman is a badass, and it's now canon that Hades is a Sith. Dryden Voss is terrifying and Chewy goes to the bar a lot. We talk about Cocaine Bear and the limit to get Chewbacca drunk is definitely 35 beers. We get to see a game of Sabacc and meet the Millennium Falcon.  Stay tuned to the very end for a post credit scene.

We start to recap Solo, and get off to a pretty rocky start. We give the movie a pretty hard time, but not too bad; we still have a blast recapping the intro scenes, including calculating the worth of a republic credit (less like a peso more like a galleon), and breaking off into wondering what the bastard names are from Game of Thrones. There's trench warfare with some scatting, we get to meet a muddy Chewbacca, and we need a shitposting group.

We wrap up Revenge of the Sith. Heidi pays homage to Padme in full cosplay. There's a duel between two apex predators, where the fate of the entire galaxy is witnessed by everyone and no one. Obi Wan and Anakin duel over the lava, and are very schweaty. Anakin is Frankenstein's monster, and maybe Palpatine used Padme's life force to save Anakin. Luke gets the raw end of the deal, and we wrap up the prequels.
