The Nerdologues

Sean Kelley is super into a lot of things because he's a super knowledgeable dude and fan, but he's especially super into the superheroes that make up the X-Men. He's been on board since X-Men #1 came out in 1991 (the best-selling comic book of all time!) and has been ravenously consuming the comics since then. Thus, of course, he has some stellar thoughts about what has worked and what hasn't in the film adaptations of said comics (and some other Marvel and non-Marvel properties just as some fun, relevant tangents).

This week, we for real welcome Harrison George to the show to chat about mobile games and lots of other stuff. 

This episode, host Chris Geiger brings aboard Eric Garneau and Mike Jando to talk about comic book movies, like this week's Guardians of the Galaxy. Topical!

Andy Junk may have mad love for the Caped Crusader, but he is far from a Dark Knight. Brimming with kindness and enthusiasm, Andy covered all eras and all mediums of Batman fandom (comics, films, live action and animated TV series, video games, collectables... the works). There were no stones left unturned in this delightful romp through the bat cave.

Who needs guests? Not us! For the second time ever, Tim and Clayton come at your earholes with no help at all, this time to discuss some of the big reveals out of last weekend's San Diego Comic Con!

We're going back to the big top for our second episode featuring some of the great people from Upstairs Gallery/the Jangleheart Circus festival as well as a bunch of talented performers from across Chicago!

Fellow member of the Nerdologues Joe Gennaro sits down with me to tap some lands and cast some spells as we weave tales about the incredibly popular deck-building card game Magic: The Gathering. I learn what WUBRG means, how awesome a God pack is, and a bunch of other nerdy fun things along the way (this game has the possibility of creating an infinite number of squirrels....).

What's the opposite of a love fest? That's what we've got going on this week as guests Tim Reardon and Jeff Murdoch sit down to share games that everyone seems to like but them. 

Steve Persch returns from Milwaukee and Katie's mom joins us on this very special episode of the Nerdologuecast. If you've ever wanted to know who 12-year-old Katie Johnston-Smith viewed as a sexual icon, this episode's for you!

Nick Hassebrock was mesmerised by David Copperfield from the first time he saw one of his specials at six years old and has loved and been inspired by him ever since. It wasn't just about the illusions, it was the whole package; from lighting to music to showmanship, Nick points out that Copperfield is truly at the top of his field and helps magic seem less "dorky."
