Nerds United 380: Ted Lasso, Scrubs, Invincible, and Ice Cream[ 54:14 | 0.01 MB ]Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (47)
What a way to beat the heat than having two people you only know through the internet talking about ice cream. Mind you, not even eating ice cream, just talking about ice cream.
Also, Ted Lasso may be be coming back for a fourth season, but likely without one of the key players. Everyone wants a Scrubs return, but Zach Braff explains the obstacles in the way.
Robert Kirkman has an update on the live-action Invincible movie and there’s a trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
All that plus ice cream sundaes, because that’s why we’ll never be skinny.
The wrestling world is mourning another loss, this time Sid Vicious, aka Sycho Sid, aka Sid Justice. I had the good fortune of meeting Sid in 1999 and interviewing him on the news while working at WOWL in Florence, Alabama. Here’s the clip.
This week, Chad Smart joins the show to discuss our favorite Sid moments. Please share yours with us, too.

This week, five years ago, Heath Hatton and I won the Stride Pro Wrestling tag team titles. It seems surreal even five years later. I can’t explain how grateful I am to Heath, Jay Spade, and Tony Flood for making this possible. However, I attempt to in this week’s podcast as I go back and watch the match on YouTube.

Now…don’t let the title deceive you. We aren’t hosting a movie marathon tonight. We’re simply discussing the slew of movies that were watched in the last week or two. Admittedly, some of them were watched prior to last week’s show but were forgotten when the show began.
Movies that released in the last week to movies thirty years old…
And while we’re at it, how about discussion on some movies that are in the works?
Also on the docket – The Acolyte will not be receiving a second season, per Disney/Lucasfilm. That doesn’t surprise most of us, but as you can imagine, there’s already an effort put forth to “Save the Acolyte.”
Lastly tonight we’re talking pizza. Because it’s Friday and that’s the most popular day for pizza in the United States. In fact, Greg’s family ordered pizza tonight! We’ll be building our own pizzas with a random assortment of ingredients.
There’s quite a bit to talk about this week on Nerds United.
If you happen to be living under a rock, you may not know that Disney Corp. held its own version of Hall H with its annual D23 Fan Expo last weekend. Fans and doubters alike were treated to updates and trailers for a wide-ranging set of projects from Agatha All Along to live-action versions of favorites like Snow White and Lilo and Stitch, Moana 2, Incredibles 3, and honestly, so much more.
We also received a new trailer for Kraven the Hunter and our continued belief that Sony is holding Spider-Man villains hostage.
And because we are gluttons for punishment, we are going to talk about more food. This week, our inner Cookie Monster comes out as we are talking about cookies (“biscuits” if you’re in England).
SummerSlam 1990 is one of my favorite events under that brand. Nostalgia is always welcome. Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, Rick Rude, Kerry Von Erich—they’re all big players at this event. I rebooked parts of the show and tried WWE Prime.

Nerds United 377: More Deadpool & Wolverine Discourse and the Upcoming Marvel/DC Draft[ 1:03:39 | 0.01 MB ]Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (57)
This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike will do what podcasters everywhere have been doing for two weeks…continue to ride the Deadpool and Wolverine coattails.
There is a growing fervor for some of those cameo characters to receive full blown movies. Could we see Blade or Gambit again, and do we even want to?
DC Studios is busy, with projects that are already available (Batman: The Caped Crusader on Prime Video), are coming soon (The Penguin on Max), and are deeply rumored to maybe be possible down the road (freakin’ Deadman)!
DC Comics is also reinventing some of their biggest characters, as core members of the Justice League will get the Absolute treatment. But while it looked like it may be a reboot of the universe, it now appears that it will be more along the lines of multiverse exploration.
Lastly, with a slew of DC and Marvel projects coming down the pipe, Mike had the great idea of drafting movies and TV shows to see who would put together the better lineup.
SummerSlam 2024 is over. This week on the podcast, Chad Smart and I share our thoughts on the show, including Roman Reigns’ return, Cody Rhodes’ title run, and Gunther’s rise.

This week on Nerds United, we will continue to discuss some of the aftermath of the 2024 San Diego Comic Con, as the biggest bombshell happened about 24 hours after our last show.
Robert Downey Jr is coming back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will return as Doctor Doom (or at least one version, I’m sorry – variant) of such, and the Russo Brothers are back as well.
Giancarlo Esposito will play the King of the Serpent Society in Captain America: Brave New World.
We got a little taste of Fantastic Four: First Steps as well as Thunderbolts*.
A couple new Star Trek projects are growing closer to being ready for public consumption.
The guys are going to blind-rank some streaming shows and then discuss mouth-watering, delicious, breakfast foods!
Once again, I’ve given you the keys to the show for another installment of Ask My 1-2-3 Cents. You guys didn’t disappoint, as there are several excellent questions this week. Thanks for contributing and listening.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike reconvene after a week off and there’s quite a bit to get caught up on.
With the San Diego Comic Con going on, we were treated to several trailers for upcoming projects. We’ll discuss some of what has come out of SDCC so far.
Also – with Greg on vacation last week, it’s time to get caught up on The Acolyte, The Boys, and other shows or movies we watched in the time off. Furthermore, maybe there are a few extra things that got watched in the interim.
And that brings us to the big man in red…Deadpool. Deadpool and Wolverine hit theaters this week to what has to have been a rock solid start to the box office.
And as long as there’s time, we’ll look at some yummy side dishes.
In July 1984, the WWF and MTV teamed up for their first-ever wrestling special, The Brawl to End It All. It was unique because the only match to air on TV that night was the women’s championship match between The Fabulous Moolah and Wendi Richter.
Chad Smart joined the show to discuss the event and that era of wrestling as we were on the cusp of WrestleMania, a worldwide phenomenon.

There’s even a trailer for a Gladiator sequel 24 years after the original.
The guys will also blind-rank characters they hope have cameos in Deadpool and Wolverine. And the final segment of the show will be the guys choosing vacation destinations from fictional locations.

A Green Lantern series is coming and we can’t contain our excitement.
And while there’s been more news probably, Greg’s had his hands full this week so we’re going to jump right to the main event where we are picking from some pretty choice vacation destinations.
Christmas is six months away, and it’s time to start thinking about the seventh annual My 1-2-3 Cents Wrestling Figure Drive. We’ve already collected some cash and figures to donate to Toys for Tots in December.

For the first time in history, adults are the prime consumers of toys. Why? Are we regressing? Are we refusing to grow up? And at a time with high inflation and the economy in the crapper, who can afford toys?
Lastly, we’ll spend some time talking about movies that have to do with summer or vacations.

This week, Greg and Mike will spend a little time reflecting on eleven years of the Jittery Monkey Podcast Network, including mentioning some of the shows that aired throughout the life of the network.
In the last week, did the guys acquire any new comic books? Did they watch anything of note?
Deadpool & Wolverine tickets went on sale this week. One of the guys got tickets. The other one is Greg. Also, a giant of a man has joined the cast for the third season of Reacher. He’s literally called the Dutch Giant. Reacher’s going to have his hands full.
And Zachary Levy is starring in an imagination-filled move that hits theaters this August. It’s the second movie emphasizing the imagination to be in theaters this summer.
And we had to call an audible on our retro video games portion of the evening and will briefly discuss 90s bands instead.
My daughter just graduated from high school, so I thought about when I graduated (1991) and where the wrestling world was. This week, I compared and contrasted some of the superstars and then compared them to the stars of today.

Mike and Greg are back after a couple weeks off. That means they have a lot of catching up to do.
From the comics they acquired going all the way back to Free Comic Book Day – did they have a chance to read any? How about shows and movies? I mean, it’s been three weeks – the chances of them watching something seems pretty high.
We got our first glimpse of the new Superman. We have trailers for the second seasons of House of the Dragon and Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. And He-Man is finally coming back to the silver screen in 2026.
And we’ll cap the show with a conversation about candy bars.

Growing up, Kerry Von Erich was my favorite wrestler. For nostalgia purposes, he’s still on my Mount Rushmore, some 30+ years after his death.
This week on the podcast, I chatted with ‘Pondwater’ Dave, also a Von Erich superfan. He was in the crowd the day Kerry beat Ric Flair for the NWA Heavyweight title (May 6, 1984). We chat about that day, wrestling in Texas, the rest of the Von Erichs, and Ric Flair’s Last Match (which Pondwater made the three-count for).

Getting to meet a pro wrestler is always a great adventure. At least it has been for me. I’ve been fortunate to meet more than I can remember at times, as I forgot to mention a handful on this week’s podcast. And despite having met some of the all-time greats, there are three who elude my list. Find out who they are on this week’s episode.

Well, unless you want to scratch your head at Greg being a dumbass, go ahead and jump to about the 13-minute mark.
This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike will once again attempt to determine which wrestlers to “save” in our ongoing series. What started with movies from the 1980s has carried us through the decades in both film, television, breakfast cereals, and now professional wrestlers.
Also, if you’re unaware, there’s a little movie coming out this summer called Deadpool & Wolverine. Marvel and Ryan Reynolds dropped a new trailer this week that shows a lot of familiar faces and gives us a glimpse into the movie, including our best look yet at Wolverine in action.
We’ll see what Mike’s been up in in the last two weeks and check in on what the guys have read or watched in the off-days.
The world lost a bright and creative mind in Bray Wyatt back in August 2023. WWE has been teasing the return of the Wyatt Family in some form or fashion. This week, Chad Smart and I talked more about what is necessary to make this a successful venture (in our opinion).

This week on Nerds United LIVE, Greg and Mike discuss some of the week’s headlines.
One of the bigger headlines of the week was the release of the Joker 2 trailer. As Joaquin Phoenix dons the makeup once again, he’s joined by Lady Gaga who will portray Harley Quinn. One of your beloved hosts made it through the trailer. The other gave up. But why?
Find out X-Men ’97 is a wild success on Disney+ and perhaps it is re-energizing the X-Men brand. he guys discuss the announcement of three X-titles set for release this summer, one of which is being written by a past guest on this very show.
Very excited to finally be able to say… IM WRITING PHOENIX! A new ongoing coming this July from myself and @alessandromirac. Huge thanks to @annalisebissa for allowing us to take Jean on this cosmic journey. And Yasmine Putri on covers. 🔥 pic.twitter.com/OA5BBfiQUV
What have the guys been watching or reading? Get the latest in capes, cowls, and more from two guys who enjoy sharing their love of all things nerdy.
And last but not least, the most unfortunate timing for a headlining topic as the duo discusses which fast food restaurants to save. Why is today possibly the worst day for this category to pop up in the ongoing series? Because Greg went to the doctor…and the results are just so-so.
WrestleMania XL is over; we didn’t discuss it this week. Instead, Chad Smart and I flashback to the ten Wrestlemanias we’ve attended. It’s a fun trip down memory lane. What Manias have you been to?

Our main topic will be choosing five tv shows from the 1990s. This topic was provided to us last week by live viewer Fred. If you want to have direct influence on the show, you know what to do.

Kristen Stewart says she will NEVER act in a Marvel movie UNLESS that movie is directed by one director in particular.
Netflix has a new series coming out which appears to center around Greek mythological gods in a modern setting. It stars Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, so it has that going for it.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire are both in theaters, so we’ll break down box office performance as well as fan reviews.
We all know that after Batman and Robin was poorly received and because of that, it was eight years until we saw the Caped Crusader on the big screen again. But there was a slew of unmade Batman movies that were pitched or in some form of development in the down time.
Finally, the guys continue their series of “Five Stay Alive,” this time with breakfast cereals. We can’t wait to see which ones you choose.
WrestleMania is a household word, but this week on the podcast, Chad and I look back to the 90s when the business and the brand took a noticeable dip.

WrestleMania season is my favorite time of year. This week on the podcast, I’m talking about a few of my favorite WrestleMania returns after a long hiatus from the event. Some Superstars in the conversation include ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper, and Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat.

Let’s just say it now and get the heat out of the way…the 1990s was rich in movies. It was the dawn of the independent movie and still had plenty of big budget blockbusters. This week, Greg and Mike continue the series of giving each other movies which the other has to “save” their favorites.
Also, The Crow remake, Venom 3, and the X-Men ’97 showrunner parting ways with Disney+ less than two weeks before the series debuts.
Also, for the benefit of the viewers on YouTube, a couple brief cameos.
The U.S. Express, Barry Windham, and Mike Rotundo have been announced for the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame. For one, I am excited to hear this announcement. I share a few memories of the team and the men behind them in a short podcast version.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike are back and are talking about DC movies. Mike and Greg each chose 15 DC movies for the other to review and determine which five need to be kept and which ones can be dumped.
Mike did Greg dirty. The options Greg was given were largely horrible movies (with a few exceptions). Greg tried to find different titles and improve the overall quality of the movies provided.
That’s not all the guys talked about. Greg cleaned out some space to organize his comic books and here’s what he pulled out of a bedroom closet:
Whilst cleaning and organizing, Greg did find a coveted comic book. He looked in every box until he found…
A couple trailers were dropped recently for a movie and a series that are based on wildly popular video games.
First – Borderlands:
Second – Fallout:
The guys talked a little bit about Aquaman 2 after watching it on Max finally. You know what that means..
Next week: DUNE! (Not Dune 2, no one has time for that.)
Also next week, since we’ve picked Marvel movies, DC movies, and 80s movies, we’re going to choose 5 movies from the 90s to preserve.
The Hall of Fame ceremony has become a staple of WrestleMania Week, and it’s one of my favorite things about this time of year. This week on the podcast, Chad and Kevin break down the event and talk about some of the ceremonies they’ve attended.

Sting has been a huge part of pro wrestling for nearly 40 years. On March 3, 2024, he’s wrestling his last match. This week on the podcast, Chad Smart and I look back at some of Sting’s highlights and talk about others who should have had a big sendoff for their career.
A friend of the show, Kevin McCleery, lost everything in a recent house fire. A GoFundMe is set up, but if you’d rather donate a figure or two to his young son, let me know. Click here for the GoFundMe. Thanks!

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike discuss the Marvel movies and like the 80’s movies a week ago, select a pre-determined number to “save.” That is, all others go away, which ones do you keep?
Mike makes it very difficult on Greg. Greg makes it significantly easier on Mike.
Also, rumors about a Plastic Man movie are intriguing, not that it’s the first tertiary DC character we would think to migrate to the big screen. And do you agree that for Star Wars fans to come together, the movies will need to leave the Skywalker name behind them?
It’s Presidents Day, and we’re celebrating with a look at authority figures in modern-day wrestling. Should Tony Khan take a more hands-on-camera role with AEW? Chad Smart and I discuss this.

On Nerds United this week, Mike and Greg are excited to recap the week of expected and unexpected trailer releases.
We talked last week about how we anticipated some sort of trailer for the Deadpool movie during the Super Bowl, and did Ryan Reynolds deliver. We also received a trailer for X-Men ’97 which hits Disney+ in a month.
Trailers also dropped this week for a couple of ape-based movies. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
Greg finally watched The Marvels and had some thoughts.
And two guys born in the 1980s discuss some movies from that decade.

Taylor Swift has been big business for the NFL, but what if Taylor dated a WWE, AEW, or TNA star instead of Travis Kelce? How would the companies have handled it? Would Swifties flock to the WWE Universe? Chad Smart (who has attended four Taylor Swift concerts) joins me for the discussion.

On this episode of Nerds United, Mike and Greg have a good time making superhero team-ups of Marvel and DC characters. From Deadpool to a demon, Captain America to Zatanna, see what pairings the guys made from blind lists.
Also, all signs indicate that James Gunn has his Supergirl. The guys discuss the likely premiere of a Deadpool trailer on the Super Bowl telecast. Greg got some comics and the gents discussed the merits of the Dungeons and Dragons movie while talking about the graphic novel series Die.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike talk a little bit about comics and movies and mostly about shows they have been enjoying, like the second season of Reacher on Prime Video.
The 2024 Royal Rumble is behind us, and we’re on the Road to WrestleMania with a stop coming up at the Elimination Chamber. This week, a few thoughts on the event and some of the behind-the-scenes drama at WWE.

For 40 years now, Hulkamania has been running wild. Hulk Hogan won the WWF Championship on January 23, 1984. But what if Hulk Hogan never existed?
This week on the podcast, Kevin shares six wrestlers he thinks could have been the face of the WWF in the mid-80s. Chad critiques the list. It’s big fun.

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg discuss the Marvel Cinematic Universe shows that have premiered on Disney+. From WandaVision to Echo, excluding the Groot series and the one-episode specials (sorry Werewolf and GotG), ranking the eight shows from Phase 4 and the four from Phase 5 from 1-10 and building an aggregate score from there.
Also, Greg finished Krampus and really enjoyed it (research needs to be done to see if there will be more to the story) and the guys shared the movies and shows that they watched.
Reacher wrapped up its second season this week. That’s some quality programming right there. And Greg is going to start cutting loose some of his streaming apps.
Lastly, it’s winter. In our area, we’ve had a week where the high temperature has barely touched the freezing mark and a lot of wind chills in the negative range. So we spend a few minutes blind-ranking winter activities. Mike thinks this may lead to a new post on tiktok…and it might. Who knows?

The Honky Tonk Man remains one of my all-time favorites. I’ve even had the great pleasure of meeting him a couple of times. This week, in honor of Elvis’ birthday, I’m drinking a beer called Fat Elvis by 4 Hands Brewing Company and watching one of my favorite HTM matches against ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage, from the October 1987 Saturday Night’s Main Event.

This week on Nerds United, the Greg and Mike finish off the year by doing some more reading, as both guys are enjoying various stages of DC’s Knights of Steel.
Christmas tales were shared, and Brayden was missed (his recent appearance practically doubled the viewership/listenership). Beers were enjoyed, and the guys talked about the year that was and all the things they didn’t get the chance to see.
Then some time was spent talking up 2024 and all that it has to offer. Long story short, we have varying degrees of excitement for the comic book projects headed to screens in the next year.
We hope your 2024 is happy and healthy and as always…
Merry Christmas! It is the Christmas Episode of the podcast. It’s a short and sweet list of gifts I’d give to a handful in the wrestling business. Let me know what you’d gift this year.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike are joined by a special guest (we’ll call him the “Guest Host of the Year”), Mike’s nephew Brayden.
Brayden told Uncle Mike that all he wanted for Christmas was to do a guest shot on the podcast. Greg told him to aim higher.
With no comic book consumption to speak of, the guys dove into some fun Christmas topics. First we hear Greg and Mike’s Top 5 Christmas songs. Then, all three are put to the test with blind ranking Christmas movies. That’s where the cover photo comes from. And trust us…the episode is necessary to understand the image.
Santa Claus has been a big part of the wrestling scene for decades. This week, I share my six favorite moments involving the jolly ol’ elf in the wrestling ring. And yes, I realized I said Episode 774 after the fact.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike discuss the regular chit chat and discuss some comic book acquisitions. There’s even an fun story about buckling up some comics to keep them safe on the road (check out the YouTube video for that).
Teaser trailer for The Boys season 4 as well as a rippin’ trailer for the next Godzilla/Kong movie. And will pop culture media outlets ever stop posting on-set spoilers? Ryan Reynolds wishes they would.
Now since Mike has seen The Marvels, and since some Screen Rant or other outlet published an article claiming there are ten Marvel projects worse than The Marvels, Greg puts Mike to the test, runs down the list, and asks Mike if he agrees with the author’s assessment.
Lastly, the guys share their Top Five non-MCU Marvel Movie Moments. Movies like The Hulk, the Fantastic Four (and Fant4stic), the X-Men franchises, etc. Which scenes make the cut?
Sting will have his last match in March 2024 at AEW Revolution. However, I’m fantasy booking the Stinger’s last match at WrestleMania 40 this week. Let me know what you think of the six opponents I have in mind for the icon.

Nerds United 349: Futures of Spider-Man and Supernatural Remain Unclear[ 0.01 MB ]Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (247)
This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg get together for what they think is a short episode (SPOILER: It’s still almost an hour) and while they don’t have a formal “main topic,” they do spend some time on some news and notes.
For example…does Tom Holland need creative control of the next Spider-Man movie? Or would the studio re-cast him if they have a script that he doesn’t like?
The stars of Supernatural tease a possible future for the longest running sci-fi/fantasy series in the history of American television. That’s mostly unfortunate, really, as the show went on about nine years too long as it was.
There’s a really solid trailer for the Furiosa movie.
Greg finally read DC’s Dark Knights of Steel Vol. 1 (with volume 2 available later this month). It’s really good and it should be in Mike’s hands later this week.
Get some updates on what’s going on in the guys’ lives. For example, the night we recorded, Greg took his family to the world famous St. Louis Zoo for their Wild Lights event. And Mike finally has a safe vehicle to drive to and from the gym.
Music has been a big part of wrestling for decades, and now that WWE and AEW are using licensed music for some entrances, it’s conjuring up nostalgia.
Over the weekend, we saw CM Punk return to the Survivor Series, but before we saw him, we heard that first scratch of Cult of Personality, and the crowd went nuts. This week, Chad Smart and I discuss that moment and our love for music.

This week on Nerds United, the guys continue the years-long tradition of Turkey Before Turkey.
There was some moderate comic book acquisition in the short week, as Greg shares his pick-ups. And while Greg was getting comics, Mike was at the theater watching The Marvels, so the Co-Host of the Year talks about that movie a bit.
With Blue Beetle’s arrival on MAX, both guys had the chance to watch it, and they gave their thoughts.
We’re thankful for you, and we remind you to be kind.
Ask My 1-2-3 Cents is back and some really good questions for the My 1-2-3 Cents supporters out there. I really do appreciate it. From what commentary teams I’d like to be a part of to what is the worst match I’ve seen in person, there’s lots to talk about this week.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike admit that neither of them did a ton of reading in the past week. But the guys have plenty to discuss.
Greg finished Under the Dome and while the premise was really interesting at the outset, he found the ending to be a bit lacking.
But Loki’s season finale definitely delivered.
Also, some trailers out there, like the Madam Web movie we forgot about, and the second season of What If. Basically, if you want Marvel done right, leave it to Marvel.
Mike poses an interesting question. If you’re sitting down with someone who hasn’t seen a Marvel movie, but the notion of 30+ movies and tv shows is a bit daunting, where do you start, and what is essential? So the guys break down their essential movies of Marvel’s Phases 1, 2, and 3.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have attended many live wrestling shows since 1984. Seeing Superstars like Ric Flair, John Cena, Hulk Hogan, and many more has been amazing. However, I have a wish list of individuals I never got the chance to see wrestle live. I share six of them in this week’s Six Cents. Who is on your list?

This week on Nerds Untied, Mike and Greg discuss the season finale of Gen V and the timeline for its end and season four of The Boys. Greg is behind on Loki Season Two but hopes to get caught up in the next few days.
Greg is watching Under the Dome, a show from a decade ago, and was surprised to find in its third season that the culprit is aliens. I mean, aliens?
The guys were surprised this week, as maybe we all were, by a Ghostbusters trailer. Did you see it? It’s pretty rad.
And it doesn’t appear that either of the guys will go see The Marvels in theaters. But movies at home, like Blue Beetle next week on Max, are definitely a possibility.
It never fails that a debate ensues when a second or third-generation wrestler hits the ring with a name not associated with their famous relative.
The most recent instance occurred with Brian Pillman, Jr., now going by Lexis King in WWE’s NXT. I share my thoughts on the name and others who have decided to take a different track than their famous father.

This week on the show, Mike and Greg share their top must-see movies from each of the last few decades, back to the 1980s.
Before that part of the show, the guys discuss some comics they have been reading. Gen V wrapped up its first season and at the same time, Invincible Season 2 started on Prime Video as well.
Plus, the guys enjoyed the trailer for Marvel’s Echo and Greg got a little clarification on Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
And do the guys dip their toe into the Snow White controversy?
Movie Mania is back for the final Halloween-themed show of 2023. And this one is a doozy. Chad Smart and I are doing a watch along to the film Pro Wrestlers vs. Zombies…

In the wake of Sting’s retirement announcement, I’ve decided to give the main event of Halloween Havoc another look. Sting defended the WCW World Title against Sid Vicious. It’s the first time Sting defended the belt on pay-per-view.

So let’s just get into it. In the course of the discussion, the guys talk about the second season of The Santa Clauses, coming to Disney+ this holiday season. Greg mistakenly said Kumail Nanjiani was in the first season before Mike corrected him, stating it was in fact Kal Penn.
Mike continued to state that the confusion happens so frequently that the stars have addressed it publicly.
Before that part of the show, the guys talk about some of the comics they’ve been reading and the shows they’ve been watching or, in Greg’s case, discovered for the first time.
We’re poised, it would seem, to get some live-action Gargoyles in the future on Disney+.
The end of the show has the guys blind-ranking Halloween candy, which as it turns out, is just candy with a few seasonal additions.
The Halloween theme continues this week, with a watch along of the awesomely bad Chamber of Horrors match from Halloween Havoc 1991. Have you ever watched it? Join me for it!

This episode, at least the first ten or fifteen minutes, is dedicated to birds. All the years I’ve known Mike, and I had no idea he was an amateur ornithologist.
After that, we get into some recent comic book acquisitions and books we’ve been reading. Mike is pretty excited for Greg to get his hands on Gideon Falls, a Jeff Lemire graphic novel.
Meanwhile, Greg picked up some DC Knight Terrors tie-ins and hopes to get them read in a timely manner. And Greg binged Beckham in one day this past week. Check out the trailer. If you were alive and cognizant of pop culture in the late 1990s, there’s no way you were able to avoid the David Beckham/Posh Spice mania.
New episodes of Loki and Gen V, but the conversation shifted to horror and Halloween, as Mike determined that most horror movies don’t take place at Halloween, and asked “which movies take place at Halloween.”
The show is wrapped up with blind rankings of Halloween costumes, which we will try to share in short-form video on some of our platforms.
Continuing the Halloween theme for the month with a look at some Hollywood horror connections with the world of pro wrestling. There is plenty of ridiculousness, from Chucky to Leatherface to zombies and more.

After telling the tales of Friday night, both Mike and Greg discuss their comic book acquisitions and shows we’ve been watching.
Ahsoka finished up this past week, as did Only Murders in the Building. Meanwhile, Gen V is off to a bloody start on Prime Video.
It’s almost Halloween, and all month long, I’ll be tying the holiday into the podcast. Up first, make me choose between two scary wrestlers. The response on social media was great, so thank you for participating!

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike are joined by another longtime voice from the Jittery Monkey Podcast Network.
Kevin Hunsperger, the host of My 1-2-3 Cents, sits in to discuss the Netflix docuseries WRESTLERS. If you’re not aware, WRESTLERS is a seven-episode series on Netflix that focuses on Ohio Valley Wrestling, both the names and faces in the ring and in the office.
And as an added bonus, the guys give Kevin a blind rank of wrestling finish maneuvers.
It’s time for another installment of Ask My 1-2-3 Cents. This week’s topics range from Magnum T.A. to social media to the referees’ training. I want to thank everyone who asked something this week.

This time around on the ol Nerds United podcast, Mike and Greg discuss recent comic book acquisitions and what they’ve read. Gargoyles, Booster Gold, Man Thing, Astro City, Dark Knights of Steel, Once and Future, We Live, and a couple of characters, maybe you’ve heard of them, Batman and the Joker.
Then the duo discussed the Percy Jackson and the Olympians reboot heading to Disney+ later this year. Is that a show you’re excited to see? Let us know in the comments.
Then the guys went on to blind rank some stuff. First they did blind rankings of X-Men movies. Now for this, it wasn’t just movies with X-Men in the title, but any movie with an X-Man in it (and one that was tangentially included).
And then a couple of guys who like food blind rank breakfast noms.
…as a 41 year old man, it feels weird typing out “noms.”

This week on Nerds United, the guys face the stunning realization that Greg is out of shape. Mike is a stud who goes to the gym but also likes food. Greg likes food and doesn’t go to the gym. You see the problem.
So the guys talk a little bit about vegetables. Honestly, I think they talk more about vegetables than either of them actually eat vegetables.
So what books did the guys have the chance to read this week? And what shows have they been enjoying?

And speaking of Hollywood, WB finally gave us a trailer for Aquaman 2. It feels like a great continuation to a movie that made over a billion dollars at the global box office…but will anyone care?

Well, Nerds United is back after a few weeks. We’ll call it Greg’s Sabbatical.
We were quite derelict in the meantime as far as putting topics on social media. So we doubled down and did not one but TWO blind rankings. We did DC heroes and Marvel heroes.

Addiction is a problem that plagues the world of professional wrestling. We’ve seen lives destroyed both in and out of the ring. Recently, WWE Hall of Famer Sunny was in the news after being involved in a fatal DUI crash last year. The jokes and the memes that followed were horrible, in my opinion, and I’m ranting about it this week.

Holy schnikes! This episode has Greg and Mike in the same room! Relive the glory days as the duo records from Studio A, aka Greg’s kitchen table.
This week, the guys go off the rails a little bit and discuss all sorts of odd topics. But eventually they cycle back to discussing comic books and comic book movies, superhero movie fatigue, and if the MCU is repeating mistakes made by its comic book partner.
And…if you didn’t know…we’re on TikTok. And Greg has no idea what that means.
‘Cowboy’ Bob Orton is a legend in pro wrestling and someone I’ve had the good fortune to meet on more than one occasion. This week, I’m just doing a shoutout to the WWE Hall of Fame and recounting my memories of Orton in and out of the ring.
