ID10T with Chris Hardwick

Chris Hardwick

I am Chris Hardwick. This podcast used to be called Nerdist. Now it is not. It is still basically just me talking about stuff and things with my two nerdy friends Jonah Ray and Matt Mira when they’re available, and usually someone more famous and smarter than all of us. Swearing is still fun, so we still do that occasionally. I hope you like this new iteration which is the same as before, but if a name hangs you up unhealthily I’m sure you will not hesitate to unfurl your rage not only in the ‘reviews’ section but also now on all the various social media platforms that have popped up since we started in 2010, effectively murdering blogs.

    Jaimie Alexander

    Jaimie Alexander (Thor, Blindspot) returns to the podcast to talk about how she handles negative overthinking by actively seeking and seeing moments of joy in life. Jaimie also recently started a Substack where she openly chronicles her incredible recovery from health issues and numerous stunt-related injuries (you can link to it through her Instagram account, @jaimiealexander). If you're feeling stuck or even just need a break from your own overthinks, this ep has some wonderful bits of wisdom!

    James Gunn

    I mean SURE we could discuss the massive success of Superman and return of the hilarious hit show Peacemaker or even some of the future plans for DC Studios (and we do), but we also have a great conversation about how to carry out a creative vision from start to finish and get the negative chatter in your brain out of the way in the process. PHEW! That was one long sentence! Superman is now available for digital download and Peacemaker is back on HBO for eight episodes starting August 21st.
