We had some severe weather in the area Saturday evening and it wreaked havoc on Greg’s laptop, so we got started a little later than we had hoped.
What that means for you is that we pared the episode down a little bit and brought you only the essential news. That is, of course, after updates on what we read and watched this week.
Hear about what Star Wars is doing, as well as Deadpool 3, Harry Potter, and The Big Bang Theory. And we briefly discuss the trailer for Marvels.
Perhaps the title of this week’s show is a bit cocky, but it has been an insane week regarding my story about getting kicked out of WrestleMania. And yes, I was kicked out. But there’s more to the story; I share that and all the media attention my TikTok has received. This should be the saga’s final chapter, much to the delight of most people who know me.

Well, it was a week movie and series trailers. The guys will talk about (in no particular order because I can’t remember the order in which we discussed them):
Ahsoka
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Secret Invasion
Blue Beetle
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Barbie
Also, more Star Wars is headed our way. Greg took a trip to the movie theater with 40% of the rest of his family. Both guys got some comics and read some comics.
And next week…Josh Brolin!
Well, we’ll discuss Josh Brolin’s recent interview comments about Jonah Hex. He didn’t enjoy the experience, but Greg dug the movie.
WrestleMania 39 is in the books, and what a great weekend it was. Chad Smart and I attended both nights, marking our 10th trip to this iconic event. We share our thoughts on the weekend, including my first trip to Wrestling Pro Wrestling.

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg are back at it after Greg was on vacation last week. Hear about how the trip almost ended in disaster. Also, Mike is getting a promotion. Not from Co-Host of the Year but in hos actual place of employment. Also – how does one improve on Co-Host of the Year?
The guys read some comics and had a lot of good things to say. Hear about Suicide Squad, The Vision, and some X-Men.
Meanwhile, there have been some good shows on that the guys have enjoyed and they try to share that information with you.
It was storming the night the duo recorded, but the plan is to get together for a show in the not-too-distant future.
It’s hard to believe, but 35 years ago today, WrestleMania IV went down. This show, panned by many, is unique. It’s the first WrestleMania to feature a tournament. It’s the first Mania that Hulk Hogan didn’t wrestle in the main event and was the first Mania for many Superstars, including Ted DiBiase, Rick Rude, and The Ultimate Warrior.
This week on the podcast, I stroll down memory lane with my take on WrestleMania IV and a look ahead to this year’s WrestleMania, which is just a few days away.

This week on Nerds United, the guys will cap a show discussing the new Bedrock series announced starring Elizabeth Banks and Stephen Root. It will follow a 20-something Pebbles and Bam Bam.
So Mike asked “what continuation if a classic cartoon would you like it see” and then absolutely nails some pitches (take note, Hollywood).
The guys also talk about Lord of the Rings, Ben Affleck, Sweet Tooth, and NEW COMICS!

This week on Nerds Untied, Mike and Greg discuss everything from tassels on graphic novels to plans for Shazam! to the new Ninja Turtles trailer to home improvement and even in-show production meetings.
Tyler ‘Heath’ Hatton and I have been friends for over a decade. We’ve worked together in Stride Pro Wrestling for the past seven years. It’s a company Tyler created in early 2016. He is moving on, and we will discuss his decision on this week’s podcast.
To say I’m grateful to Tyler is an understatement. I thank him and his family for all they’ve given to wrestling fans and wrestlers here in southern Illinois.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike discuss some comics they’ve acquired and read (or in Greg’s case, re-read) as of late. The conversation meanders a bit as we discuss some home improvement and family topics.
With a new Hellboy in the works, the gents discuss Mike Mignola’s creation, past, present, and future. And Disney put out a few trailers for upcoming movies that are of low to moderate interest to us but probably higher interest to others.
And Greg poses a theory about casting characters in movies and how the fans react. It’s topical since a new Indiana Jones movie is in the can but Harrison Ford can’t play the character forever (we’re surprised he’s still playing the character now).
We hope you enjoy the show, and if you do, take a minute to rate and review it on your favorite podcast app. And we’d really like it if you share it with other nerds.
Cody Rhodes has punched his ticket to WrestleMania and will face Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Universal Championship. This week, Chad Smart joins me to discuss the ‘Rhodes to WrestleMania’ and the build-up of the American Nightmare since returning to WWE a year ago.

This week on the show, Greg and Mike discuss their recent comic book acquisitions, from a few familiar titles to some new books (Dawn of DC’s Superman #1 and Masters of the Universe Masterverse #1). Also discussed, some quality television in a variety of streaming services, shows that are new and shows that have a few years (Shrinking on Apple TV+ the former and Superstore on Hulu the latter).
And lastly, Greg took advantage of an open Friday afternoon and went to see Ant-Man and Wasp: Quantumania, so there are SPOILERS!
We hope you enjoy this show and if you do, please tell other people about us.
It’s Presidents Day, and what better way to celebrate than with a look at authority figures in pro wrestling? From Jack Tunney to Adam Pearce, plenty of men and women have been running the show at various times. Even as I type this, I’m reminded of some names I didn’t mention on this week’s podcast; sorry about that.

That means…NO SPOILERS! But Mike does mention the movie briefly.
Also, the guys talk about the Super Bowl, which admittedly is off-brand for this show but it did give us a few new trailers for upcoming movies. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Flash.
Mike gives us an update on the latest offering from O’Fallon Brewing Company, a chocolate covered pretzel ale that is right on the money.
We’re returning to Wrestleville this week and talking with author Vinny Berry about his latest book Wrestleville: Pro Wrestling Vault Volume 2. Check out Vinny’s other books here.

This week’s show is hampered by the fact that Greg is sick and at times feels like he is near death (probably over dramatic). So we are in and out in less than 30 minutes.
Topics this week include:
Ant-Man and Wasp Quantumania
Giving up on certain comic books
Strays and History of the World Part II
The Flash
Truth be told…I (Greg) am still pretty out of it so that’s all I have to say about this episode. Enjoy it.
The Main Event (1988) is one of the most incredible nights in the history of professional wrestling. I was a sophomore in high school and couldn’t wait to watch wrestling in prime time. We were getting a rematch from WrestleMania III for free. What more could a fan ask for? It turns out it was a night that set the wheels in motion for the next 14 months or more.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike get caught up on each other’s week’s and spend the first chunk of the episode talking about Colden Brewery, coming soon officially to Southern Illinois.
When we finally get into pop culture talk, we talk about shows getting new or more life on streaming services (That 90s Show, King of the Hill, Futurama).
And we received word from James Gunn and DC about the first wave of DCU projects coming to screens big and small alike. Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters.
Another Royal Rumble has come and gone, and I really enjoyed this year’s event. I open a can of beer called Natural Habitat to chat more about this year’s Rumble. What did you think of the show?

It’s hard to believe, but 25 years ago this week, I attended my first and only WCW Thunder event. My friend Brian was with me and was the videographer as we interviewed legends in the pro wrestling business. Bobby ‘The Brain’ Heenan, Ray Traylor, Buff Bagwell, and a young upstart Goldberg were all our guests.
The Goldberg interview is lost somewhere, somehow. However, the other three are at the end of this week’s podcast.

Well, we thank you for the terrific numbers last week. We’re confident it wasn’t a glitch. 1,100+. May be a new Jittery Monkey record (although Kevin did recently have RVD on episode 420).
This week on the show, Mike and Greg talk about some new streaming season announcements, like Ted Lasso, Cobra Kai, and Invincible. And the guys also share their differing opinions about the Letterkenny-verse after the announcement that Shoresy is getting a second season in 2023.
Another announcement was the third season of Mandalorian, which brought on another Star Wars discussion. And Mike made another bold statement in regards to how he views the franchise.
In an attempt to see if last week’s numbers are a technical glitch, we ask you to reach out to us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter (@nerdsunitedshow) or send us an email to nerdsunitedpodcast@gmail.com.

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg recap their week’s reading and viewing. For Mike, that means going back and watching (re-watching, maybe, we hope?) THE trilogy…the OG…the original Star Wars trilogy. And following that act, he got into the sequel trilogy.
Oh boy…HOT TAKES!
Now Mike is challenging you to review the Star Wars movies through a critical lens and not one that is based on nostalgia.
Okay, we also talk about the continued state of DC Studios, the #6SeasonsandaMovie that Community is headed towards, the alleged Captain Planet movie, the upcoming second and final season of Carnival Row, and the new Quantumania trailer.
We’re very interested in your Star Wars hot takes!
Ask questions, get answers. That’s the mantra for this week’s podcast. I was in a bit of a time crunch, so it’s a short version of Ask My 1-2-3 Cents. Be sure to post a question on our social media, as I want to incorporate more questions each week.

There’s a lot of news lately about DC Studios (my very own shorthand for Warner Brothers-Discovery’s DCU). We all know that James Gunn and Peter Safran are now in charge of the movie/television division. But some of the news and notes that came out are pretty astounding.
Duane Johnson
Ezra Miller
Wonder Woman
2023 movies
Also, what did the guys read in the week? And how is Greg’s squats challenge going?
Lastly, there was a tragic accident last week involving Jeremy Renner and a snow plow.
All the details, and all the opinions, in the episode!
It’s a new year, and if you’re working on a new you, hopefully, Tyler ‘Heath’ Hatton and I can help. Well, Tyler can. I’m just here for the ride. We talk more about getting into better shape in 2023 on this week’s podcast.

The final episode of the year includes a ranking of the movies and special events we got in 2022. And we encourage you to rank them as well in the comments.
The guys made another trip to Twilight Comics (Swansea, IL) and got some good books to discuss. There was also a little bit of news, like the planned Green Lantern show on HBO Max not necessarily being shelved, as well as what a Chadwick Boseman Black Panther sequel might have looked like.
Lastly, the guys end the year by ranking the 2023 movie offerings as to which ones they are most excited to see, Immediate dissension as the guys are out of the gates on different wavelengths.
Enjoy the show. Share it with others. Resolve to tell a few people about Nerds United in the new year. Be safe, and
As 2022 comes to a close, I thought it was a good idea to reminisce about the highlights of the My 1-2-3 Cents brand and look ahead to 2023. This episode includes a big announcement about January and ways you can win prizes.

This week on Nerds United, we start with discussion about how cold it is in the area. It topped out at a frigid 5 degrees yesterday. The Midwest was hit by a Sub-Zero blast.
Also, we happened to record on Greg’s oldest son’s seventh birthday. So the guys take a trip down memory lane to seven years back and the day the child was born.
Eventually, the guys get on with some comics they’ve been reading, including the Saga of Swamp Thing, Locke & Key, Weapon H, and Grim.
There was no shortage of news to talk about in the world of wrestling in 2022. From Vince McMahon’s retirement to CM Punk’s drama with AEW to Ric Flair’s Last Match, it was a unique year, to say the least. Instead of the traditional Centy Awards, Chad Smart and I discuss some of the big headlines of 2022 and look ahead to 2023. Be sure to share your thoughts too.

We also talk about the announced God of War series heading to Prime Video, trailers for upcoming movies Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse and Barbie (okay, we mention Barbie, we don’t go into detail).
Greg really liked the Netflix series Wednesday and thinks you will, too.

This week on Nerds United, we have to forego the annual “Turkey Before Turkey” that we’ve been celebrating for several years.
The Reason?
Greg’s sick.
Not only was there no Wild Turkey, but he and his family didn’t get to go celebrate Thanksgiving.
Silver lining? He gets to go back to work tomorrow.
On this episode, the guys discuss some of the comics they read in the last week as well as what they watched (don’t sleep on Slumberland on Netflix).
Lastly, we discuss the tragic passing of Jason David Frank. This time of year, depression can really set in and your demons can creep in. Now, help is just 3 digits away. 9-8-8. Don’t hesitate. You are worth it.
Young Rock has quickly become one of my favorite TV shows. While I know it’s a TV show, not a movie, I’m throwing it under the Movie Mania banner… This week, Stride Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Champion Payton Ayers joins me.

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg give a first round update on the Christmas Movie Madness Tournament 2022. Who’s in and who’s out?
Meanwhile, we have some sad news as we discuss the passing of legendary voice actor Kevin Conroy.
And finally, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Admittedly, more spoilers than we’d like (Sorry BFOTS). But it’s a solid flick and a great addition to the MCU. So if you were on the fence about going to watch it, you can take our word for it – it’s worth it.
Survivor Series was one of my favorite wrestling events in the early days. As a teen, I loved watching the Thanksgiving night (and later Thanksgiving eve) tradition unfold. However, I don’t think everyone feels the same about the event. So this week, it’s a stroll down memory lane and sharing my love of this nostalgic event.

HEY HEY! It’s time for a new Nerds United. This week, Greg and Mike are filling you in on some comic book purchases (by Mike) and the fact that Greg hasn’t had any time to read in the last week.
So the news and discussion this week focuses on the revamped Green Lantern show headed to HBOMax sometime in the probably distant future (we’re not confident it will happen in our lifetimes) as well as Henry Cavill coming back to the DCU and Yahya being cast as Wonder Man for Marvel.
Also…Winchesters and Stargirl are axed while Sandman gets renewed at Netflix.
And as a bonus: there’s a trailer for A Christmas Story Christmas. You guessed it – the sequel to A Christmas Story. It’s a nice segway into the fact that we’re starting the Christmas Movie Madness Tournament this week (which we didn’t talk about at all on the show).
It’s Halloween, and we’re celebrating with a look back at a few haunting matches that Tyler ‘Heath’ Hatton has had through the years. The most recent was the Casket Match against Cash at Stride Pro Wrestling’s Fall for All event. Watch it here.
Hatton also once wrestled in costume as the Big Muddy Monster at the Big Muddy Monster Brewfest. Watch that one here.

For our very special 300th episode, we attempted to go live and got some interaction on YouTube.
We talked about comics, including what Greg purchased and what Mike read. And we talked about the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special and Ant-Man and Wasp: Quantumania!
Some DOOM Patrol and and while we’re talking DC, we go ahead and talk about Black Adam, since we both saw it last week.
Hope you enjoy this version of the show. I think we’ll do this some more and keep working the kinks out.
This week on the Half Hour of Power, Chad and Greg put a couple bows on some previous topics and delve a little deeper into Halloween.
Perhaps the most frightful of all scenarios is looking at those wretched gas prices these days. And Chad is trying to figure out what to eat.
That’s a real sentence. re-read that.
Elsewhere in the episode, horror movies like zombie pictures and torture porn. And we talk about a shared horror universe where all the slasher baddies come together.
Over the weekend, Heath Hatton and Cash tore it up in Stride Pro Wrestling’s first-ever casket match. To fit in with a Halloween vibe this week on the podcast, I’m providing the commentary from that historic match. I’ve never done it before, so please let me know your thoughts.

To paraphrase Dante, “we weren’t even supposed to be here this week.”
We promised our next episode would be the live extravaganza for episode 300. But there was a lot that happened in the last week so we called ab audible and therefore have for you Episode 299 v. 2.
And we’re talking comics, movies, tv, and more. Just like the intro of the show indicates.

Now, not much to discuss this week – or at least, we didn’t discuss much this week.
Marvel pushed back some MCU movies, meaning we have to wait until 2026 for Secret Wars. Think about that. I have to live three and a half years to see Secret Wars. I’m not sure I can do it.
Also – Werewolf by (Mid)Night, She-Hulk, and a taste of LOTR Rings of Power.
This episode is titled “Rambleween,” meaning I shouldn’t give Chad that much control in naming these episodes.
In this newest installment, the guys discuss costumes and cosplay. What are their respective dream cosplay? Would they even be able to be in good enough shape to fit into their cosplays if they created them?
We also wrap up our last conversation about football and fandom. And since it’s the Halloween season, we throw some monsters, I mean Munsters, your way.
Stride Pro Wrestling has a new heavyweight champion named Payton Ayers. Ayers graduated from the Stride Pro Wrestling Training School and recently won the gold from Dexter at ‘Fright Night.’ His first defense is coming up on Oct. 22 at Fall for All in Pinckneyville.
Check out Stride on social media for updates, and give Payton a follow on Twitter. His handle there is @Fresh_Ayers8.

Nerds United 298: Upcoming Movies and "Get to Know Greg"[ 1:01:06 | 83.81 MB ]Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (432)
You read that right. In this episode, Mike grills Greg with some questions he pulled from late night television. So over eight and a half years in to this podcast, you finally get to know Greg just a little bit.
Also, and more importantly, Greg made a trip to Twilight Comics (Swansea, IL) this week and shares his acquisitions. Plus, we were graced with some new movie trailers this week, including our first look at (and listen to) The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a badass Santa picture called Violent Night, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Plus, Greg has some thoughts on the latest She-Hulk episode, and we parlay that into a little Daredevil talk.
Episode 300 is nearing. We are kicking around doing a live show. If so – be ready and bring questions.
Hellfire and brimstones, it’s been 25 years since Kane made his WWE debut. This week, Greg Mehocko and Chad Smart from the Power Half Hour joined me to discuss that night in St. Louis. The three of us were there for this show (In Your House: Badd Blood).
In this episode, we discuss Kane and his impact, along with the first Hell in a Cell match and the untimely passing of the legendary Brian Pillman.

This week’s podcast covers a wide range of topics from The Last of Us (not to be confused with This Is Us) to Hugh Jackman donning the claws for another go-round with his rival/buddy Ryan Reynolds.
Greg’s in Minnesota this week so we weren’t even sure there would be a show. But we’re happy to be able to bring you the show on time as planned.
This week on the Power Half Hour, Chad and Greg discuss their love of football, and more specifically, their love of particular football teams.
It’s cruel, really, Greg’s two teams are a combined 2-5. Chad’s team is off to a 3-0 start. So naturally he picks right now to want to discuss football.
Music is a massive part of the pro wrestling experience. Some 35 years ago, the WWF released the Piledriver: The Wrestling Album II. This week on the podcast, I look back on the album and share a quick interview with Koko B. Ware, who performed the album’s title track. (The interview is from 2014, but it’s still good stuff.)

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike have a good discussion about overlapping tv shows on streaming services, vaguely remember the Netflix show “Shadow and Bones,” conveniently as Season 2 is announced.
Greg went to a Fall Fest on Saturday and tasted some beers. He had a great time, caught up with a lot of people he hadn’t seen in awhile, and made a promise to put some love out there for Colden Brewery, an up-and-coming adult beverage maker in Centralia, IL.
Also – the guys make some changes to some pre-MCU Marvel movies in hopes of making them better.

The Power Half Hour (and Change) is back and this time, we’re bringing a friend.
Kevin Hunsperger of My 1-2-3 Cents (the podcast and also www.my123cents.com) is the moderator and plays Captain Question in a spur of the moment episode where he asks Chad and Greg various questions.
It’s a solid episode with insight into nostalgia and much more.
And also it’s the first episode in almost a month so be happy.
David Lee Walker has been a part of Stride Pro Wrestling for a couple of years and recently won his first singles championship. He’s the new No Limits Champion. And this week, he’s my guest on the podcast. We talk about hi

RVD was known as Mr. Monday Night, so it only seemed fitting to pair him with Hot Fudge Monday, a brown ale by Mirror Twin Brewing in Lexington, Kentucky. It also gives me the excuse to pitch Rob Van Dam to be a part of episode 420 of this podcast. (Fingers crossed.)

This week on Nerds United, Mike overcomes the plague, Greg is terrified of being home alone with his kids next week. The Joker has a name. There are some trailers that arrived.
Over the weekend, the My 1-2-3 Cents brand marked 12 years. It’s been a fantastic ride, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of it all. I thank you for your support too!

This week on the show, Mike provides us with an update on the 80s Movie Madness Tournament. The guys watched She-Hulk and Greg watched the first portion of Lord of the Rings: The Ring of Power.
No DC Fandome this year, and Ben Kinglsey could be returning to the MCU.
First of all…do not blame Greg for the featured photo. He was not the one to ruin your childhood. That was all Chad.
This week we look at the classic 90s TGIF television sow Boy Meets World. We discuss a few other notable series from that time, but really, it’s largely Boy Meets World. What about that show aids it to stand the test of time?
Chad calls it perhaps the greatest tv show of all time. And remember Mr. Feeny’s final words… “Do good.”
The Royal Rumble is one of my favorite WWE events each year. Next month, Stride Pro Wrestling is trying its hand at the concept. The Stride Rumble is set for Saturday, Sept. 10, 2022, at the Sioux Drive Center in Marion, Illinois. Tyler ‘Heath’ Hatton and I discuss the Rumble and other news and notes from the world of pro wrestling, including AEW and WWE.

Comic books were purchased. Comic books were read. We watched some tv and movies (She-Hulk, House of the Dragon, Uncharted) and an update on the 80s Movie Madness Tournament.
This week on Nerds United is a special episode, we keep the conversation OFF of current topics.
No She-Hulk. No Sandman. No comics we read or recently purchased at Twilight Comics (Swansea, IL).
Instead, we have a topic inspired by The Sandman, a topic about favorite remembered dreams. We go on with a follow-up to a recent episode and the Cartoon All-Stars by creating Cartoon Intervention Teams for each other.
And lastly, have comic book movies peaked?
Enjoy the show. Rate. Review. Check out our Linktree, which was recently retooled.
This week on the Power Half Hour, Greg and Chad look at another of Greg’s podcasts, Nerds United. On Nerds United on Facebook and Twitter, Mike and Greg are having an 80s Movie Madness Tournament.
Chad has…opinions. He takes issue with some of the movies we left out of the tournament. And as you can see from the main photo, Chad decided to highlight The Apple’s absence from the tourney.

The Hollywood Blondes are among the most iconic teams from the early 90s. But Brian Pillman and Steve Austin aren’t the first duos to use the name. I talk about that while trying Tea House: Morning Ceremony (a sour blonde ale) by Ebb and Flow Ferminations in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

The brand new episode of Nerds United with Greg and Mike recalls Mike’s trip to Twilight Comics (Swansea, IL) and the purchases he made there. They also discuss their different approaches to reading comics. Who wants to prolong a good story and who wants to finish a story to move on to the next one?
A less-than-loved Ryan Reynolds movie is surprisingly getting a sequel. Greg learns on the show that Reynolds will not reprise his role.
Also – A couple trailers dropped throughout the week, including a true story that’s not based in genre. But could it end up being the best war movie of all time?
Finally…how was She-Hulk?
Enjoy. Tell your friends. We have compiled an easy-to-navigate link list at Linktree. Check it out.
The potty talk takes over the My 1-2-3 Cents Podcast this week. It’s all part of Storytime, when I ran into three (now) WWE Hall of Famers in the bathroom at a wrestling show and one who will likely be a Hall of Famer one day.

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg discuss The Sandman and Paper Girls, two comic book adaptations that hit streaming services recently.
There was also a fair bit of reading done the past week, as Greg read everything from Batman to Grim. And he pulled out his recent read of Locke and Key for all of the Sandman crossover therein.
Lastly, Greg and Mike did meet up this past week, haphazardly. And they watched a cartoon from 1990, to job their memory first, and they followed it all the way through “just because.”

Stride Pro Wrestling continues to amaze me. This past weekend we had two great shows, leading to a big event on Saturday, September 10. For the first time, Stride will have its version of the Royal Rumble, with 30 participants; past and present Stride stars will be involved. Plus, a grudge match between Heath Hatton and Cash and a Dog Collar Match between Bud Galloway and David Lee Walker. Be sure to join us that night at the Sioux Drive Center in Marion, Illinois!

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg talk about the biggest news of the week, Batgirl is no longer set for release. This alters the alleged DC timeline we discuss.
Also, 80s classic Road House is being remade over on Amazon, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. And that leads directly into the bigger news of the day, which if you follow us on social media, you already know:
We have an 80s Movie Tournament. Similar to our Christmas Movie Tournament a few years back, just comment in the match up and tell us who survives and who is gone.
This week on the podcast, Greg and Chad discuss where the hell they’ve been in the last month.
Greg was on 1.5 vacations, and Chad has been busy as well, travelling to the Midwest more than once (why Chad, why) plus having a girlfriend. And Greg has cleaned up a lot of puke in the last week.
So it was almost a month since last we got together. We missed each other. And most importantly, we missed you.

This week on Nerds United, Mike has a couple good questions he poses to the panel. Also, Mike did some reading, Greg did some viewing, and Paper Girls is available on Amazon Prime.
Ric Flair’s Last Match is coming up this weekend. It’s a three-day celebration of the man we call ‘Nature Boy.’ This week on the podcast, Chad Smart and I talk all about it, as we were both there for Flair’s retirement match at WrestleMania 24. What are your thoughts on The Man getting into the ring one more time?

This week on Nerds United, Greg is back from vacation and that coincides with San Diego Comic Con.
Both Mike and Greg did some reading this past week – Mike with some classic Batman and Greg with a Moon Knight collection as well as a Locke and Key tie-in story that – bonus content I forgot to mention on the show itself – has a Sandman connection.
We talk about I am Groot and Spider-Man Freshman Year, spend a little time on Dungeons and Dragons, and discuss the bombshell news of the week in professional wrestling, that Vincent K McMahon has retired.
We were really just trolling Kevin from My 1-2-3 Cents and trying to scoop him, and while we recorded the show Friday night, we didn’t get a chance to get it uploaded until Saturday night. In the meantime, we picked a little fight with Kevin on Facebook and gave him a window to get his own “bonus show” out there. So check that out.
It’s a sentence, until recently, I never thought I’d hear, Vince McMahon is retiring. But the longtime leader of WWE has made the announcement and is stepping away from his company. Tyler ‘Heath’ Hatton has a unique perspective on the situation and joins me for this bonus episode of the podcast.

After a rare week off, Mike and Greg are back with a brand new show. In that week, the guys finished watching The Boys and Ms. Marvel and they even saw Thor: Love and Thunder.
Also, some good stuff about books that were read and the generosity of great people.
Spoilers, but you probably already figured that out.

This week, Chad is heading home to go to a concert, fulfilling a promise years in the making.
So on this week’s episode of the Power Half Hour, Greg and Chad talk about finales and retirement, like Motley Crue’s final tour years ago, and Ric Flair’s retirement match at Wrestlemania 24 and his “last match” later this summer.
Now I’m not allowed to be cynical and just say these guys want a payday. Yes, being in front of a crowd is all they know (as well as being in front of ladies and comical piles of illegal drugs), but we can all agree that none of these performers are in their prime.
Still, if you want to support these aging acts (like I know you do), pitter patter. Enjoy yourself. Just realize that most of the people in the crowds are grandparents by now.

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg prepare for the 4th of July (by Greg being extra old-man) and Mike can’t cook rice. Go figure.
Also, The Umbrella Academy Season 3 is out and the guys talk about that show. And Game of Thrones is getting a spinoff but it’s not one we (okay, Greg) would most like to see. That doesn’t mean he won’t watch.
Also, which cinematic universe has more re-watch potential? MCU or the stuff from the DCEU? We have our thoughts but are curious as to yours.

This week on the show, the guys admit to getting a little fresh air in their old age. Greg completed a comic and started a new one. Mike didn’t have time to read this week.
The guys finished Obi-Wan Kenobi and gave a few thoughts on it. But really, a fair amount of the conversation is on Sony screwing up a(nother) Spider-Man villain. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, star of the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie, said that in this version, Kraven is a lover of animals and a protector of nature. That’s pretty much the farthest from the history of the character. So Greg decided that it’s time for Sony to be done with Spider-Man and all of his associates.
This week on the Power Almost Half Hour, Chad and Greg talk about wanting to be writers. Or at least, having stories in their heads that they haven’t quite found a way to put onto paper.
In all honesty, it’s 7:40am on a Monday because I had a busy weekend and didn’t get this produced until now. And I have to shower and shave and get to work yet, so the write-up will be lacking.
This week on the show, Mike and I talked about some specific comics, the Joker sequel/Lady Gaga rumors, the fact that Guy Ritchie is developing a Hercules live-action movie, there’s a Duke Nukem movie in talks (again), and more.
Look, I don’t know what you want me to say…we recorded this show 36 hours ago and Mike’s the one who writes down all of the topics of discussion.

This time around on the Power Half Hour, Chad regales us with his time spent at Star Wars Celebration back in May.
From the features photo, you can see the creativity put into some cosplay this year. Chad talks to us about some of the sights and sounds of the event.
**Editor’s note – this was actually last week’s episode and I’m not sure a) why it didn’t publish on the 7th and 2) why I didn’t realize until a week later that it didn’t pub. Apologies. You’ll get another new show tomorrow.
This week on the Power Half Hour (which some of you will be happy to see is under 30 minutes), we catch up on some of Chad’s whereabouts from recent weekends.
Up first – Monsterpalooza. It’s a horror con out in Pasadena, the home of roses and horror, apparently. What were some of the sights Chad saw, and which celebrities did he see while he was there?
If you like horror, you’ll probably like Monsterpalooza.
