Welcome to episode 121 of the Frantic Nerdcast! We're down a host (missing Zach), so AJ and Brock are taking a slightly more "casual" approach this week—even if AJ's intro voice threw everyone off! In this episode, we dive deep into a FULL SPOILER REVIEW of 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'. We break down the arachnid hormone mechanics, the Jean Grey reveal, the Hulk/Frank Castle dynamics, and how this sets up Weapon X, mutant inhibitor collars, and Secret Wars! We also discuss: • AJ’s resin 3D printing disaster and recovery • Updates on our in-development skirmish game, Rift Chaos • Board Game of the Week: The rare Japanese-only 'Deck Build Gundam' • Movie & TV Chat: 'Big Bad' (Save the Green Planet remake), 'The Dink' (pickleball comedy), 'Lucky', and 'Ted Lasso' Season 4 • TCG Tuesday spotlight on WIXOSS • Big news: We got MEDIA PASSES for PAX Australia!

The boys are back for Episode 120, coming to you in full monochromatic green style! 🟢 This week, we’re opening up with some high-stakes local bin chat before diving straight into the big pop culture releases.

We give our initial (mostly!) spoiler-free thoughts on Spider-Man: Brand New Day—is it truly the best MCU Spider-Man movie yet? We also dive into Ryan Murphy's The Beauty (and how it compares to the graphic novel), Netflix’s The Boroughs, Peacemaker Season 2, a nostalgic Mortal Kombat marathon, and early impressions of Silo Season 3.

Plus, Brock gets put on the hot seat for a blind Dragon Ball Z Character Ranking, we highlight how to play our game Monsters at War, cover huge news in the TCG and tabletop world (Universes 40k, PAX Aus, and Ready Player Two), and share details on an incredible community FU Cancer fundraiser.
