Episode SummaryNERDS!! We’re diving deep into the Batcave of animation history with none other than Frank Paur — the director, producer, and storyboard artist who helped shape Batman: The Animated Series, Gargoyles, Spawn, X-Men Evolution, and Hulk vs. Wolverine!From his early days geeking out over The Mighty Thor comics and Frank Frazetta artwork, to accidentally turning a “summer job” on Thundarr the Barbarian into a lifelong career, Frank has been at the center of some of the most influential animated projects ever. We talk Batman’s cinematic style, Gargoyles’ cult following, Marvel’s animated B-listers, his Emmy-winning work on Spawn, and even his dream project that got away (Hex Girls spin-off, anyone?).This episode is packed with animation insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and even a few nerd debates (like who wins: Violator vs. Xanatos vs. Bane?).

The Distance Nerding crew dives into the latest rumors, casting news, and pop culture chaos—from Doctor Doom plotting across the multiverse to Tobey and Andrew’s possible Spider-Man swan song. We debate villains for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Yelena’s role in a street-level MCU, and whether Alison Brie could steal the show as Evil-Lyn in Masters of the Universe.The rundown keeps rolling with Percy Jackson season three casting, the Weasleys joining HBO’s Harry Potter series, True Detective updates, and Karen Gillan stepping into Highlander. Quick hits cover Super Troopers, del Toro’s Frankenstein, Cody Rhodes as Guile in Street Fighter, Zack Snyder’s next drama, Star Wars Visions Vol. 3, Marvel’s animated Spidey, The Office spin-off (The Paper), and a McFarlane–Miller team-up.We close by unpacking James Gunn’s DCU blueprint—his three “power blocs,” secret project teases, and a sharp philosophy on recasting that ties back to Peacemaker.Highlights & TakeawaysDoctor Doom framed as a harsh savior makes sense—every villain thinks they’re the hero.A final swing for Tobey & Andrew only works if it supports Tom Holland’s arc.Brand New Day opens the door for villains like Mr. Negative or RhinoYelena could be the connective tissue for MCU street-level stories.Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn fits modern MOTU, where the “#2” villain steals the spotlight.The Batman Part Two could shine with gritty rogues like Calendar Man or Mr. Pyg.Percy Jackson casting nails the youthful divine energy needed for season three.Karen Gillan joining Highlander adds star power and room for richer female roles.Del Toro’s gothic Frankenstein has a smart festival-to-streaming rollout.Gunn’s DCU is actor-proof, built to endure recasts without losing momentum.Quotes We Loved“Every villain sees themselves as the hero of their own story.”“Yelena could be the new connective tissue for the street-level side of the MCU.”“Give me Professor Pyg and an investigation trail across Gotham.”“Del Toro in the gothic pocket is always a win.”“Gunn is writing, directing, and steering—keeping the DCU alive even if faces change.”Call to ActionLove the show?
