Well, today we have a VERY special guest: the oft mentioned Spencer B. Paul.
Our only goal was to review the season finales of Arrow and Flash, and honestly, who the fuck knows if we ever really finished. This was one long tangent, and hopefully it’s as fun to listen to as it was to record. Cheers!
On this episode of Nerdsense, your hosts cover all the nerdy news that’s fit to print, such as the recent shake up at DC Films, some casting news for Thor: Ragnarok and Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Supergirl’s move to CW.
We also discuss the most recent episodes of your favorite comic book-centric television shows, including Kevin Smith’s directorial effort on The Flash.
It’s another heaping dose of Nerdsense, coming at you straight from the Nerd Den. Cheers!
Mike and I sit down to discuss the latest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: Civil War! Which side will we take?! Team Cap or Team Crap!?
This week, your humble hosts do a retrospective on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, covering every film from Iron Man to Ant-Man, all in preparation for the upcoming Captain America 3: Civil War.
In addition, they cover a few news items, and Mike gets drunk off his ass, even though he keeps promising he won’t. It’s another crazy night in the Nerd Den.
Style: Strong Ale
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Spiegelau Snifter and Firestone Walker Tulip Notes: Nose: Malty caramel with apricot, boozy. Mike got “sewage” or bad water” Taste: Better beers have come since this. Taste: Malt and caramel comes through as it did on the nose. There are hops for sure.
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 3.50/5 — We were thrown off by how much our tastes have changed given this was one of the craft beers that got us really loving it.
Style: Strong Ale
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Spiegelau Snifter and Firestone Walker Tulip Notes: Nose: Oak (obviously), maple which adds sweetness on top of bourbon. Taste: Smooth and balanced. Sweetness and mellow compared to the normal Arrogant
Overall Nerdsense Rating: Nose: 4.25/5
**BLEND** (Shaun’s favorite part!) 4/5!
You lose the oak and it kind of makes the regular Arrogant a little more smooth and tasty
This week Mike and Shaun are buried under a massive amount of news. Most coming out Cinemacon. Strap in as loads of nerdy news are blown into your ear drums and listen as your hosts try to make Nerdsense out of it (see what I did there?)

IT’s FINALLY HERE! The moment we’ve all been waiting for, ladies and gentlemen, is HERE. It’s March 25 and apparently it’s Good Friday.
For us, though, it’s a Really Friggin’ Good Friday.
Today is the official release date for Batman V Superman, we’ve made it to our final stop on the Road to Dawn of Justice! We saw the movie a couple of hours ago and rushed back to the Nerd Den to record our thoughts!
