Well, unless you want to scratch your head at Greg being a dumbass, go ahead and jump to about the 13-minute mark.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike will once again attempt to determine which wrestlers to “save” in our ongoing series. What started with movies from the 1980s has carried us through the decades in both film, television, breakfast cereals, and now professional wrestlers.

Also, if you’re unaware, there’s a little movie coming out this summer called Deadpool & Wolverine. Marvel and Ryan Reynolds dropped a new trailer this week that shows a lot of familiar faces and gives us a glimpse into the movie, including our best look yet at Wolverine in action.

We’ll see what Mike’s been up in in the last two weeks and check in on what the guys have read or watched in the off-days.

This week on Nerds United LIVE, Greg and Mike will talk about DC Comics’ recent decision to ascribe an origin story to one of their most prolific characters, the Joker.

Also, Keanu Reeves is cast in a family favorite franchise. How will the John Wick star integrate into Sonic the Hedgehog story?

WREXHAM! WREXHAM! Welcome to Wrexham, the Emmy Award-winning series about Wrexham AFC returns May 2. And with the club’s recent promotion to League One, excitement continues to build around the Welsh football club.

No Mike. He was unavailable. So we’re punting the wrestling topic to next week.

This week on Nerds United LIVE, Greg and Mike discuss some of the week’s headlines.

One of the bigger headlines of the week was the release of the Joker 2 trailer. As Joaquin Phoenix dons the makeup once again, he’s joined by Lady Gaga who will portray Harley Quinn. One of your beloved hosts made it through the trailer. The other gave up. But why?

Find out X-Men ’97 is a wild success on Disney+ and perhaps it is re-energizing the X-Men brand. he guys discuss the announcement of three X-titles set for release this summer, one of which is being written by a past guest on this very show.

Very excited to finally be able to say… IM WRITING PHOENIX! A new ongoing coming this July from myself and @alessandromirac. Huge thanks to @annalisebissa for allowing us to take Jean on this cosmic journey. And Yasmine Putri on covers. pic.twitter.com/OA5BBfiQUV

What have the guys been watching or reading? Get the latest in capes, cowls, and more from two guys who enjoy sharing their love of all things nerdy.

And last but not least, the most unfortunate timing for a headlining topic as the duo discusses which fast food restaurants to save. Why is today possibly the worst day for this category to pop up in the ongoing series? Because Greg went to the doctor…and the results are just so-so.

On the docket this week is the casting news of the Silver Surfer for the MCU’s Fantastic Four movie. Let’s just say…people got mad. Also, the Hanna Barbera character Space Ghost will be introduced to a new generation of potential fans, this time via a comic book that looks pretty stinking good.

Our main topic will be choosing five tv shows from the 1990s. This topic was provided to us last week by live viewer Fred. If you want to have direct influence on the show, you know what to do.

Greg and Mike catch each other up on comics they’ve read in the past week as well as any movies/tv shows they have watched in the last week.

Kristen Stewart says she will NEVER act in a Marvel movie UNLESS that movie is directed by one director in particular.

Netflix has a new series coming out which appears to center around Greek mythological gods in a modern setting. It stars Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, so it has that going for it.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire are both in theaters, so we’ll break down box office performance as well as fan reviews.

We all know that after Batman and Robin was poorly received and because of that, it was eight years until we saw the Caped Crusader on the big screen again. But there was a slew of unmade Batman movies that were pitched or in some form of development in the down time.

Finally, the guys continue their series of “Five Stay Alive,” this time with breakfast cereals. We can’t wait to see which ones you choose.

Also, the guys received an original graphic novel in the mail this week as Jason Copland’s Full Tilt campaign was fulfilled.

Enjoy the show. Tell your friends. And be kind.

Let’s just say it now and get the heat out of the way…the 1990s was rich in movies. It was the dawn of the independent movie and still had plenty of big budget blockbusters. This week, Greg and Mike continue the series of giving each other movies which the other has to “save” their favorites.

Also, The Crow remake, Venom 3, and the X-Men ’97 showrunner parting ways with Disney+ less than two weeks before the series debuts.

Also, for the benefit of the viewers on YouTube, a couple brief cameos.

Be kind.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike are back and are talking about DC movies. Mike and Greg each chose 15 DC movies for the other to review and determine which five need to be kept and which ones can be dumped.

Mike did Greg dirty. The options Greg was given were largely horrible movies (with a few exceptions). Greg tried to find different titles and improve the overall quality of the movies provided.

That’s not all the guys talked about. Greg cleaned out some space to organize his comic books and here’s what he pulled out of a bedroom closet:

Whilst cleaning and organizing, Greg did find a coveted comic book. He looked in every box until he found…

A couple trailers were dropped recently for a movie and a series that are based on wildly popular video games.

First – Borderlands:

Second – Fallout:

The guys talked a little bit about Aquaman 2 after watching it on Max finally. You know what that means..

Next week: DUNE! (Not Dune 2, no one has time for that.)

Also next week, since we’ve picked Marvel movies, DC movies, and 80s movies, we’re going to choose 5 movies from the 90s to preserve.

As always…

Be kind.

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike discuss the Marvel movies and like the 80’s movies a week ago, select a pre-determined number to “save.” That is, all others go away, which ones do you keep?

Mike makes it very difficult on Greg. Greg makes it significantly easier on Mike.

Also, rumors about a Plastic Man movie are intriguing, not that it’s the first tertiary DC character we would think to migrate to the big screen. And do you agree that for Star Wars fans to come together, the movies will need to leave the Skywalker name behind them?

Be kind.

On Nerds United this week, Mike and Greg are excited to recap the week of expected and unexpected trailer releases.

We talked last week about how we anticipated some sort of trailer for the Deadpool movie during the Super Bowl, and did Ryan Reynolds deliver. We also received a trailer for X-Men ’97 which hits Disney+ in a month.

Trailers also dropped this week for a couple of ape-based movies. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.

Greg finally watched The Marvels and had some thoughts.

And two guys born in the 1980s discuss some movies from that decade.

As always…be kind.

On this episode of Nerds United, Mike and Greg have a good time making superhero team-ups of Marvel and DC characters. From Deadpool to a demon, Captain America to Zatanna, see what pairings the guys made from blind lists.

Also, all signs indicate that James Gunn has his Supergirl. The guys discuss the likely premiere of a Deadpool trailer on the Super Bowl telecast. Greg got some comics and the gents discussed the merits of the Dungeons and Dragons movie while talking about the graphic novel series Die.
