Aim lock yourself in a room and listen as Holden goes through the entire history of cheating in video games and discusses the different kinds of cheating that happen. This one gets deep into tech talk but also the moral dilemma we all face when we ask if cheating is okay if it makes a game more fun (yes it is and yes it does) and when does it all go too far?

Anime is demon slaying the box office right now and all it had to do was…just be itself? Jake explains how we got to this golden moment and how to sustain it. This one’s got Nepalese politics, Japanese economics, and poop jokes for some reason. Well there’s a reason, you just have to listen. Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

This week while Mike was off in Japan, Jake and Holden welcome Seena Ghaznavi (from LPN’s The Foreign Report) to talk about the waning era of the gadget! From walkmans to calculator watches everything has been swallowed up by the smartphone, and we’re spreading the love for the PDAs, MP3 Players, Flip Phones, and point and shoot cameras that made us the nerds we are today!

We're doing a good ol' fashioned deep dive on the man from the Great White North who made Hollywood his second city and blew up the box office! We go through Rick's early life, his meteoric rise and his powerful decision to walk away from it all, proving he was the goodhearted nerd we always cheered for. If it ever comes out that he's actually a terrible person we will have to immediately take this episode down because we shower him with praise as both a performer and a man. But I don't think he will, because he's Rick Moranis, the littlest giant of the silver screen. Want even more Nerd of Mouth? Support us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/nerdofmouth

Witness as a boy is born and uses fantasy to escape the reality of living in the foul wasteland that is Bayonne New Jersey. Young George RR Martin is the ultimate fanboy, transforms into the ultimate journeyman writer, and then after years of toiling in writers rooms and the clearance section of Waldenbooks creates a beloved book series! And with that series comes a fan base that is first Stark loving glad and eventually becomes Stark raving mad. Was that a lame sentence? Yes, but we met our deadline and published it anyway unlike some people!! Is it okay that the guy is too busy enjoying life and Elden Ring to return to Westeros or is he guilty of being like every dad in a 90s kid movie and making a promise he refuses to keep?

In honor of Labor Day we’re laboring over the first 17 years of Marvel movies and ranking every Avenger from Ant Man to Quicksilver. Yes that Quicksilver. We could have done this all day but condensed it to one episode of bickering, quips, and camaraderie.

Greetings from Yancy Street, you podcast enjoying crum bums, we’re celebrating the Worlds Greatest Comics Magazine and a film franchise you clearly have gotten enough of, the Fantastic Four. Why do we love them, what makes them unique, and why is it harder to make a great movie than it is for Pedro Pascal to shave? Get on a rocket with your unqualified friends and strap in, just like a lap dance from the Thing, it’s gonna be a lumpy ride! Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

It’s our 25th episode spectacular but don’t worry, we do the same thing we do every episode, Pinky (narf!). In honor of the new season of King of the Hill which we all enjoyed, we’ve decided to talk about the recent trend of rebooted cartoons. Jake takes us on a tour of the Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, Beavis and Butthead, and because we’re pro pain and suffering, the Powerpuff Girls! Plus we pitch our own cartoon reboots (including one the industry has already said no to!) Want even more Nerd of Mouth? Support us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/nerdofmouth

We love movies and we love video games but the two often go together like two things that don’t go well together. Holden talks us through the history of greedy publishers cashing in on popular movies by releasing terrible video games. We bring up the good, the bad, and Fight Club. Yes they made a game based on Fight Club and we are breaking the rules by talking about it. Want even more Nerd of Mouth? Support us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/nerdofmouth

Mike sits down with comedian, pro wrestler, and cohost of the wrestling podcast B4 The Bell Martin Morrow to talk Hogan's legacy, Martin's relationship to him as a fan, and the joy he felt booing him live at his last WWE appearance in January.

Well folks, it came crashing down and it hurts inside. The immortal Hulk Hogan was mortal after all and in this episode while Jake is on the road to live in LA (!!!) Holden and Mike do an old fashioned deep dive through his life and career: The good, the bad, and of course No Holds Barred, the movie that deserves its own movie about the making of it.

Ms. Rachel started a Youtube Channel called "Songs For Littles" in 2019 with the goal of helping babies and toddlers develop speaking skills and in less than a decade has built a gigantic empire involving Netflix deals, mass marketed merchandise...and controversy. Yes controversy, because hey, the Internet isn't anything if not consistently critical, especially of the people entertaining our kids so we don't have to. We get into all of it and celebrate someone who refuses to back down and give in to bullying despite getting death threats just for wanting kids to stop being killed. The story of Ms Rachel is the story of modern online culture and perseverance while still keeping your dignity and pink hairband. Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

There's no "I" in Esports! That's a factual statement. This episode is crammed full of factual statements as Holden takes us on a tour from the very beginning of Esports in 1962 all the way up til now where there are full leagues of people (some legends, some not) playing for millions (both audience and dollars)! We go through it all from Billy Mitchell in his prime to EV0 moment 37 to The Overwatch League. Be dazzled by Holden's research, Jake's insightful commentary, and Mike's complete lack of knowledge about video game acronyms. But hey, he did compete in the 1994 Blockbuster Video Game Championships and vividly remembers being humbled, so there's that. Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

Don't worry nerd of mouth breathers, there is lots of joy and very little wrath in this episode, it just fit the pun too well. We're excited to talk comic (and everything else) conventions as Holden gives a brief history on the beginnings of what would eventually become the gigantic gatherings of geeks we see today. Meanwhile Jake reminisces about performing at anime conventions and Mike learns about DashCon and the ballpit of despair. No one puts ballpit in a corner, except Dashcon. That's a thing they totally did. Plus we read listener submitted stories that include a Dark Phoenix rising in bed and the almost death of Warwick Davis. Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

Look! It's a nerd! It's a podcast! It's a nerdy podcast about the importance of Superman just as a new iteration of the trunks wearing titan appears on the big screen. Why do people say Superman is boring? Why does he constantly get compared to Batman? And really, was that N64 game more fatal to Superman's reputation than a pocketful of Kryptonite? Our hosts both analyze and celebrate the man of steel, talking as passionately and enthusiastically as we all wish Henry Cavill got to do in even just one of his movies. Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

If you watched the janky oddity that is the 2017 Death Note movie or the Scarlet Johansson Ghost in the Shell that also came out in 2017 (what a tough year) this is the episode for you! Anime is massive and yet a successful live action adaptation of one that's as good as the source material seems harder to find than the one piece treasure (With One Piece being the exception that breaks the rule) . Jake explains why this is and we all analyze some of the attempts including Cowboy Bebop, the insanity that is the Wachowski's Speed Racer, and yes even Dragon Ball Evolution because we love entertaining you more than we respect ourselves.

Are we born nerds or are we raised to be them? What impact does our environment have on who we are and what we love and just how important are the people around us? Our hosts open up about how they were raised and whether or not they think they were meant to still love Mario and She Hulk in their 40s. This one's got Jake deep diving into genetics, Holden's attempts at getting his dad to play Balatro, and Mike talking about how the games of the Sega Genesis allow him and his brother to honor their dead dad. Then we read some lovely letters from you the listeners about your upbringings and journeys. This one gets emotional but in the best way possible. Want even more Nerd of Mouth?
