In this festive-but-chaotic holiday special, the Ol’ Nerdy Bastards dive into everything merry, messy, and mildly unhinged about the season. Sean and Romi kick things off by debating the most controversial question of December: When is it acceptable to put up Christmas lights—right after Halloween or only once the snow hits? From there, they unwrap their favourite childhood gifts, confess the presents their parents absolutely refused to buy, and ask the big question: Has capitalism officially...
In this gaming-themed debate special, the Ol’ Nerdy Bastards ask the ultimate question: “Whatever happened to gaming?” Sean and Romi dive into the glory days of couch co-op, midnight releases, and the games that made them fall in love with the hobby—then clash over whether modern gaming has evolved or completely sold its soul. From rapid-fire “This or That” battles to arguing the greatest boss fights, most iconic gaming moments, and the spiciest hot takes (yes, even the “PS2 is still king” de...
The Ol’ Nerdy Bastards kick off this week licking their wounds after the Blue Jays’ World Series heartbreak, but the boys quickly trade bats for controllers as they dive headfirst into the world of video games.

Then things get wild as Halo: Combat Evolved gears up for its first-ever release on...

Who’s the Final Bastard… and who’s zombie food? Then it’s on to Blind Ranking: Horror Edition, where chaos reigns as they rank classic slashers...
The Bastards are back for another fiery debate — and this time, Romi’s putting Sean in the hot seat. In this episode, it’s all about iconic performances and legendary moments. First, it’s a cinematic showdown of This or That: Spider-Man 2’s train rescue or the upside-down kiss? Man of Steel’s first flight or Superman Returns’ plane save? Then they square off over who truly defined their superhero roles — from cape to claws and everything in between. But things heat up when Romi zooms out to t...
In Episode 5, the Bastards fire up the time machine for a trip down pop culture memory lane with “Whatever Happened To…?" Romi and Sean dig into the stars, shows, and films that once ruled nerd culture — and then suddenly vanished from the spotlight. From Josh Hartnett’s mysterious fade-out and Brendan Fraser’s long-awaited comeback, to Mischa Barton’s rise and retreat, they revisit the highs, lows, and “what ifs” of the early 2000s. Plus, they unpack the legacy of once-hyped phenomena like H...
The Bastards are back in the hot seat as SP puts RC through the ultimate nerd gauntlet of This or That, Agree or Disagree, and Would You Rather. From choosing between the magic of 90s Disney or the brilliance of 2000s Pixar, to debating cold, hard cash versus the power of a single Kamehameha, no question is too ridiculous — or too real. And when it comes to deciding whether to cure childhood Leukemia or get Superman's powers for a year, things get heated fast. It’s nostalgia, nerdiness, and p...
