Court of Nerds MINICAST: Holiday Toy Edition!

Having trouble coming up with suitable gifts for your favorite nerds this holiday season?

Fret not! Jon and Stacey are joined by Gavin and Dee from Tardy's Collector's Corner to discuss which nerdy toys will be flying off the proverbial shelves (hint: some of them involve a hit movie series that rhymes with "SCAR WARTS").

Also, enjoy a special Kid-Friendly edition of Sledge on Games!

Court of Nerds Episode 88: The State of Nerdy Women 2016

From Chloe Bennet to Ming-Na Wen, Emily Bett Rickards to Scarlett Johansson, Lara Croft to the Dragonborn in Skyrim. Droo, Emily, Stacey, and the rest of the Court of Nerds discuss Women in Comics, Movies, TV, and in Video Games!

COURT OF NERDS EPISODE 87: Half of us screwed it up

DC TV's Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, and Legends of Tomorrow crossover event has our jigglies puffled in all the right ways. So we got to thinking, what other shows would we like to see doing a crossover event?

Droo, Stacey, Emily, and Jon put forth their epic crossover ideas, and no, not all of them involve Star Wars (JON SERIOUSLY).

It's this week's Tarantino-level obsession with feet on The Court of Nerds!

Court of Nerds Episode 86: We decided not to fix it in post

Sometimes life hands you lemons. Other times, life hands you a garbage bag filled with coyote feces. This episode represents the latter. 

Droo, Ben, Emily and Jon are in-studio this week as they discuss the heavy slate of movies on the horizon in 2017. Each of them ranks their personal top three, an honorable mention and a "why does this exist" movie. 

Sledge is Sledge. Ben did the worst TV segment of all-time. Jon likes ScarJo. Grant can read. 

Court of Nerds Episode 85: Down with the sickness

Blame it on the alcohol, Convention plague, or the awful election cycle. Droo solo hosts with news on Sean Lewis and Benjamin Mackey's incredible "Saints," Grant discusses "Penny Dreadful," Jon talks Star Wars (GASP!), and Sledge does Sledge.

IT'S YOUR MOM'S FAVORITE CAST!

Court of Nerds Episode 84: GRCC wrap and SIMON OLIVER

Another successful Grand Rapids Comic Con is in the books! We discuss our favorite moments of the biggest weekend in Nerdary in Grand Rapids, and talk about what could be improved for next year's Con.

ALSO: We talk to Simon Oliver, writer of DC Comic's Hellblazer:Rebirth! We talk Tea, Crumpets, and how John Constantine plans to deal with the whole Donald Trump and Brexit fiascos.

PEEP IT FAM.

Court of Nerds Episode 83: SAD TROMBONE/Moar GRCC

We're just three guys and we're having a good time, having a good time. Droo, Jon and Ben are in the studio this week for some tomfoolery and Grand Rapids Comic Con preview stuff. We're moderating a buttload of panels this year, and this is how you figure out how to see us. 

The Court Of Nerds: The Scott Snyder Interview

When you start a podcast about anything, you make a wishlist of people you would love to have on the show. For a sports podcast, that could be Bob Costas or Vin Scully. For a podcast on movies, that list would include Speilberg, Abrams and Whedon. 

When we started this podcast 2 years ago, that list was topped by our guest this week: Scott Snyder. Scott has been an author we all love, either for his work with DC on Batman, All Star Batman or Batman Eternal or his many creator owned properties like Wytches, American Vampire, Severed and The Wake. His ability to not only create new characters but reinvent old ones has captivated audiences. Scott's work with The Joker is considered to be one of the definitive takes on the character and his book Wytches was picked up by Brad Pitt's film company after it's first arc. 

Scott talked to us about creating the Court of Owls, how his own fears and demons play into his work, when we get more Wytches, the collaborative nature of making comics and his upcoming book "A.D.: After Death" with Jeff Lemire. We hope you enjoy this conversation with one of the best creators in the business as much as we did. 

Court of Nerds Bonus Cast: KNIGHTMAGE

If Jon was going to start figuring out his "Leisure Suit Larry" costume, where would he start?

Enter the awesome, impeccable force of nature that is Knightmage! By day, he's a mild mannered police officer, but by night (or rather, weekend) he transforms into Kratos, Martian Manhunter, Swamp Thing, and Afro Samurai!

You can check out his Facebook HERE. 

Also, stop by his booth and say hi to him at Grand Rapids Comic Con!

Court of Nerds Episode 82: Not everyone can be Batman

You know how that Facebook meme was going around that said "Describe yourself in 3 fictional characters? And how everyone did their own self-serving version of that?

Here's ours. Only, we're not nice to each other.
