Description
The Nerd Skool Podcast, part of the Queen City Podcast Network, began when nerd-curious Joe Hunsaker of “History for Jerks” realized that he knew more experienced nerds in his life beyond simply his former entertainment writer brother Andy. After witnessing many spirited debates between his co-workers – the Sith-identifying Arthur “ArtStar” Lovely and the “Secret Nerd” Tiffany Bryant-Jackson - he decided he wanted to learn how to become a nerd himself. The three convened the Nerd Skool to educate Joe on nerd culture and nerd media, as well as the benefits of “actually paying attention to movies.” They are soon to begin a course on Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The Nerd Skool finishes up Captain Marvel. Joe recaps his assignment to watch Room with Brie Larsen and tells the faculty what he thinks of Brie Larsen now. The gang discuss the fact that Lashana Lynch is British and plays 007, which causes a side discussion of James Bond and misogyny and the difference between a Bond and a 007. They dip into the old 90’s dial-up internet days and the excitement of waiting for it to connect. Art and Andy have a small conflict that TBJ gets involved with for a bit about Secret Invasion or some such nonsense, and the gang starts looking forward to Endgame and the upcoming Marvels movie with Iman Vellani, who actually writes comic books. The Nerd Skool starts contemplating writing their own comic book.

Nerd Skool continues Infinity War! Artstar introduces a new segment called, “Now You Know” where he explains to us that Nick Fury and Captain America have the same birthday. Artstar also unleashes his theory that children are better at art than adults because they haven’t been ruined, and that might be why Shuri is smarter than Hulk and Iron Man.

Robert Downey Jr. & Tom Holland acting chops are also discussed, as well as comparing Iron Man to Spider-man acceptance of each actor. The faculty also discuss Ezra Miller’s major problematic streak.
