#StayDope

When it comes to Anime, I am sure we can all agree that the Dragon Ball series has had such a major influence on our culture today. For a lot of us, Dragon Ball Z was that first anime we remember seeing. We can still hear the announcer speaking as our anticipation for the next episode overwhelmed us, "Find out next time...On Dragon Ball Z".

Let's go back... Back to the beginning. Back to the decade that brought you The Dope Nerdz, Pokémon, Bop-It, and Twister. This time, our focus is on Cartoons. How many do you recognize / remember?

At this point, Movie Mondays are everyday... The Nerdz dive into, and across, the new trailer for Miles Morales' Across The Spider-Verse. After assessing the value of continuing the soon to be trilogy, The Nerdz review an early access released scene from the upcoming Morbious.

The Nerdz flag down a busy body from their past. The bustled baron of behind the scenes Zach Markley explores some of his past projects, future works, and how he currently situates himself between boredom and borderline burnt-out. With the craft as his love language, stick around for a lesson in knowing your vocation as much as knowing yourself.
