The Nerfherder Council

We're back, and this is going to shock you, but... we have some strong opinions we need to get off of our chests! We've collected yours too - some we agree with, and some we don't! A recent off-air conversation led us down the path of thinking about Star Wars takes that we will absolutely never back off of (minus the low-hanging fruit of those stupid space whales - we don't want to be THAT obvious!)

The latest Spider-Man film, Brand New Day, is headed towards $2B at the box office! It's got action, laughs, the Punisher, Hulk, and shirtless Tom Holland. What's not to like?! Join us for a spoiler-filled review and share your thoughts as we ponder the question: is this the best MCU Spider-Man film yet??

We're back with another installment of the Harry Potter series! This time we're tackling Book 6 - The Half-Blood Prince! This one tends to get overlooked in the overall canon compared to some of the more popular entries - does it deserve to be, or is it being underrated? Jump on your broomsticks and fly into the comments as we discuss!

From Star Wars to DC to Marvel… the world’s most popular franchises have increasingly leaned into rebooting or falling back on cash cow characters/storylines. With their lack of recent success, it led us to ask… are people finally suffering from nostalgia fatigue? Is this just a bump in the road – or is it something worse? ——— SUPPORT US – Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/NHCPodcast – Merch: http://shop.nhcpodcast.com LISTEN – Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerfherder-council/id1076137721?mt=2 – YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCONbf-oA0ZXSRGhdNBJLevw/ – Spotify Podcasts: https://open.spotify.com/show/1V6tLzIjQIG51mqEaPXdOt …and on your favorite podcatching apps!

The year is 2005. The place is… doesn’t matter. “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” is blowing up and all showings are sold out! Gotta see something else. We’re talking all about our favorite movies that *aren’t* Star Wars from the year Episode 3 was released! ——— SUPPORT US – Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/NHCPodcast – Merch: http://shop.nhcpodcast.com LISTEN – Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerfherder-council/id1076137721?mt=2 – YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCONbf-oA0ZXSRGhdNBJLevw/ – Spotify Podcasts: https://open.spotify.com/show/1V6tLzIjQIG51mqEaPXdOt …and on your favorite podcatching apps!
