Nerds United’s first episode was released on June 10, 2013. It featured Van Jensen and told his story from small-town Nebraska the Green Lantern Corps title for DC Comics. Check it out here: https://jitterymonkey.com/nu1/

The show has had several iterations and featured so many talented people. But at some point, the conversation shifted. It took five years for the show to get to its 100th episode. Mike had his first appearance in May of 2018 in episode 95 to discuss Avengers: Infinity War.

Mike would stay on, under the moniker of “Co-Host of the Year.” And with a reliable co-host, the content would amplify. If it took five years to get to the 100-episode milestone, it would take only six more years for the other 300.

But the time has come to say goodbye.

On this final episode, we will get current on any recent comic book acquisitions, and strongly urge you to support your local brick and mortar comic book shop.

We will get caught up on anything we’ve seen recently. And let’s face it – there’s so much to see.

We will share memories. We will laugh. We will drink.

We will say goodbye.

Until then, and after this episode, always remember to Be Kind.

If you haven’t heard yet, Nerds United is being retired (or put out to stud) soon, with episode 400 being the final time Greg and Mike sit down regularly to do a show. This week’s episode will include discussion on the Toxic Avenger (oh yeah…again), Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, and the return of possibly the greatest show of all time. Mike also has concocted a new trilogy draft for us. I’m looking forward to this how, and I hope you are too. As always… Be kind.

This week on Nerds United…Greg and Mike get caught up on a month’s worth of information!

What? No, we wouldn’t do that to you. We’d be here for hours. And neither of us have the energy for that.

But we will catch you up on some happenings, like Greg going to see Captain America: Brave New World, the released He-Man tease showing the Sword of Power, two trips to the comic shop, and Cobra Kai.

Also, did Greg make a deal with Mike to convince the Co-Host of the Year to watch Venom: The Last Dance? And if he did, what was the price he had to pay?

What’s Mike been up to in the last month and what does the future hold for Nerds United?

This week on Nerds United, if we’re being completely honest, it’s likely to be a shorter episode. We’ll cover some news and notes and have a good time. Then Greg has a wicked fun movie marathon topic for Mike for tonight’s main event. See? Short description, likely short show. Check ya later!

This week on Nerds United, Mike is putting in a call to the bullpen (that’s a sports reference) and bringing in his son Nolan to discuss Dungeons and Dragons. Nolan has been on the show before, back in the Very Special Christmas Special 2019. But Nolan is now in college and has been playing D&D for awhile. In this episode, Nolan is going to educate Greg on a lot of Dungeons and Dragons basics. There may even be some character creation live on the show. And if there’s time, the Co-Host of the Year will return to discuss any news and notes at the end of the show. It’s Theater of the Mind when Dungeons and Dragons comes to Nerds United. As always, Be Kind.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike are back in the new year and are ready to…oh wait, they’ve been snowed in this week. That means that Greg’s kids have been to school exactly one day in the last three weeks. But what that allowed was for a lot of comic book reading by Greg. He even watched a movie he probably should not have, in retrospect. Hopefully you all had a great first week of 2025 and are ready to hang out with us. We look forward to sharing some fun stories and news and notes. We’re getting closer to Nolan sharing his Dungeons & Dragons expertise with us. Maybe next week. Maybe tonight. Who knows. As always…be kind.

Good evening, Nerdy Nimrods! Tonight, Nerds United with Greg and Mike is back LIVE in front of a studio audience (you know who you are, and apparently we were missed Friday night).

With a new year upon us, what comic book adaptations are coming to a big or small screen and how excited are the guys for suck shows like Peacemaker, Marvel Zombies, and a host of others?

Did the guys get in any nerdy content over the holidays or were they inundated with Christmas classics?

In Mike’s break in school, did he have a chance to read anything? Did Greg FINALLY finish Injustice Vol. 2?

We’ll recap holiday happenings and the joy and awe on the faces of children.

We’ll look ahead to an exciting 2025 that already has a lot of moving parts in the works.

As always…be kind.

This week on Nerds United, we’re going to check in on the Co-Host of the Year and see just how good he is.

Mike’s pretty much in the driver’s seat tonight because Greg didn’t accomplish much this past week. We’re going to learn about the concert Mike went to. We’re going to hear about some Christmas light displays that Mike enjoyed this past week.

We’ll talk about some Christmas movies and maybe even some stuff like comic books, movies, and tv.

This week on Nerds United, there will be more discussion about Cobra Kai since Greg had a chance to finally watch it.

It’s Mike’s birthday today and the big studios felt that it was time to give Mike some solid gifts. First this week, Mike (and the world) received Star Wars Skeleton Crew. Then on Friday, Warner Bros., via DC and the MAX streaming app, gave us (and Mike too) the first two episodes of Creature Commandoes.

We celebrate Mike, and discuss some of our favorite Greg and Mike moments, like Mike’s first appearance on the show.

And Mike chose tonight’s pick ’em, so we are doing comic book covers.

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg are returning to the early stages of both the podcast and their nerdy fandom with an episode that is focusing on the original medium for the characters we love so much.

COMIC BOOKS!

Any new reads or acquisitions, some news from inside comics AND their big or small screen adaptations, and we’ll cap it off with a conversation about our favorite comics.

As always…be kind.
