The More You Nerd returns with our first Theme: Best Returns! And what better return than a film that reignited a beloved series and turned Star Trek into a multimillion dollar franchise, Star Trek: The Motion Picture. We cover how the original series ended and all the trials and tribulations of bringing new Star Trek back to screens around the world.
For Myles’ birthday challenge, we dust off the Full Moon B-sci-fi/horror classic, Arcade. Much to his surprise, Drew and Patrick had more fun with it than expected! Before that, though, the boys swoon over the recently announced Destiny DLC, Rise of Iron, as well as more DC Rebirth books! Fortnight’s Challenge: Watch Dreamworks and Netflix’s reboot…
Patrick: My pick this week is a new comic from a familiar creator that we have spoken about on the podcast. “Mercury Heat” #1 from Avatar Press Inc, written by Keiron Gillen and art by Omar Francia is out today. Gillen you know from books like cult classic ‘Phonogram’ and the smash hit ‘The Wicked + The…
Nerds! Have we got a very special guest for you this week! Literary powerhouse, Jim Butcher, took time out of his insane writing schedule to chat with us about the first book in his new upcoming series, The Cinder Spires, his writing process, and, of course, the wizarding world of Harry Dresden.
Jason Fry crash lands into the Nerd Cave this week as we talk about his novel, The Jupiter Pirates: Hunt for the Hydra, as well as the work he’s done and has planned for the Star Wars Universe. We tried our best, even threatened to make him walk the plank, to get him to spill details…

Live action Pac Man! Walter White! Liam Neeson hawking bad games! That’s right! The boys tackle the entertainment aspect of this year’s Super Bowl! Before delving into The Dresden Files for this week’s challenge, they also discuss the merits of Marvel’s new Daredevil trailer.
The boys bring up the exciting possibility of new X-Files episodes as well as try to figure out what the “new” Marvel Universe being promoted will be. After that, they hunker down and try to make sense of noted sci-fi film, Primer. Now with 100% less Lucas impressions!
On this week’s show, Drew, Mike, Myles, and Patrick put on their gumshoes to detect some replicants while watching Ridley Scott’s Bladerunner. Next Week’s Challenge: (Courtesy of Isaac) Read DC’s Blackest Night
In this week’s episode, Mike and Drew watch Starcrash. I’d say more about it, but it extra explanation wasn’t worked into the budget for this bad, cult sic-fi movie.
